What.CD Interview Notes: http://pastebin.com/Wgz6T7ta
https://www.whatinterviewprep.com/
Use >>>/g/ptg as a link to find the /ptg/ thread.
Remember the following:
>staff occasionally read these generals and have posted here before.
>staff may pretend to be normal users asking for invites and when you invite them, they ban you for inviting strangers
>people may report emails and other personal info posted here to staff to get you banned.
>most of the invite offers here are people trolling you with false hope.
>begging for invites is a waste of time and you should just interview
>>51449469
First for nothing important.
But I've been on BTN for over a year now. I started before /ptg/ existed because I'm not a retard who needed /g/ to tell me the proper way to torrent.
fifth for Desi.CD
I will just leave /ptg/ mascot here
>PTP opening means less than BTN closing.
>>51449549
Well, yeah. PTP has always been the easier tracker to join until they closed up for 9 months after the peer leaking attack.
BTN made you wait 6 months for an account while PTP only made you wait 2 or 3 back in 2014.
>>51449549
PTP invites have been easy to come by for a while now
>>51449569
>>51449583
Stop teasing me anons.
is it normal for WCD to have it's tracker down for so long?
I've joined like a week ago
>>51449667
The tracker is back up now.
>>51449667
No, but shit like this happens once a year.
we should all pool in and start our own private tracker, especially for tv content
>>51449692
Shall I get started on the logo?
>>51449692
I doubt /ptg/ even watches 10% of the shit it downloads.
>>51449716
I'll optimize it
>>51449692
What for? I thought we were all in BTN already
>>51449716
>>51449723
I nominate Niggertrannyfaggot Autistic Torrents as the tracker name, it'll keep the normie SJW that flood most private trackers away.
>>51449725
SHUT UP F A M
Goddamn these PTP FL picks are terrible.
>>51449530
Where do I get an invite to desi.cd, I want one just for laughs so I can invite my IRL friends and show them the greatness of private trackers.
Sixth for TTN, a natural evolution from BTN.
>>51449789
>>51449767
I know.
>>51449789
Hon3yHD would be the one to show for that.
>>51449813
I'm actually on Hon3yhd.
>>51449881
Screenshots please!
>>51449692
yeah let's go after niches that are being satisfied by at least 20 other existing sites (most of which will already do it much better than /g/ can hope to)
>>51449891
You underestimate /g/ senpai
>>51449679
why the fuck doesn't it say so in the status site?
>>51449927
No idea, I never use the status site all I know is that my what.cd torrents are seeding again and not in error.
I want to play Private Tracker Simulator.
>>51449692
>>51449926
>half of these faggots are too lazy to rank up on the private trackers they are currently on to get on another tracker they want
>implying they'd be willing to put in EVEN MORE work to start and help grown their own tracker
If /ptg/ started a tracker I'm sure we could pool good content and make it last especially if it we made it something like a ratio-less general tracker or something, but let's be honest everyone here is lazy procrastinating faggots, myself included so it would never happen.
>tfw you got into BTN just this morning, before recruitment closed
Feels good t.bh f.am
>>51449937
some of my torrents are in red though
One last time before I give up for good.
What is the BTN count now?
>>51450091
Recruitment is closed senpai
>>51450097
I know, but just tell the number anyway.
Can anyone recommend a tracker for academic ebooks/specifications/etc? One which would be the best fit for these documents for example:
> ISO/IEC 14882:2014
> Raven's Progressive Matrices
>>51449926
maybe slightly
but like most 4chan projects that start out with a lot of traction and start to wither after the hype wears off, at least some kind (rather, a lot) of organisation is needed before even attempting to start something like a private tracker (and the joke here >>51449716 being that the first considerations with these projects are the logo or the name, instead of any of the technical aspects that are a lot more critical)
what content are you going to track? how will you set your site apart from the myriad of other similar trackers? how will you stimulate user activity (be it forums or uploads)? how will you get a consistent flow of decent users in the first place? are you using Gazelle? do you actually plan to modify it heavily before starting the site?
>>51449948
>especially if it we made it something like a ratio-less general tracker or something
see: gtracker
which should probably just be revamped instead of attempts at another site entirely (assuming you're tracking the same kind of content)
source: i did this
What a shocker, GGN is still down.
>>51450144
34,288/35,000. That should go up once Readable clears out his backlog from What.CD (goes back a month), AHD (goes back to September), Bib (goes back to the beginning of July) and PTP/HDB (don't know how big they are)
>>51449927
Probably cos it's not working everywhere. Feral still can't connect.
>>51450233
>people still using feral for what after it shit the bed during last FL
>>51450258
I just use feral, I don't use it specifically for what.
New to what.cd, if I upload something will seedbox snatch it without looking at what it is?
>>51450328
will seedboxes*
>>51450328
FLACs will be snatched. Most of the time V0 is too, 320 80% of the time in my experience.
>>51450328
some will, and only if it's a 2015 release
>>51450328
no, seedboxes only grab 2015 releases.
>>51450328
If it's 2015 yes. FLAC probably.
>>51450340
Will I get only the size of the upload or 2x-3x? I will seed from 3 150Mbps VPSes. It's only on 320kbps, I'll put it in FLAC, V0 and V2. It's not a 2015 nor english album
>>51450328
At any rate you'll probably only be able to seed out 1 full copy before the boxes take the rest for themselves.
>>51450360
10CDs, not 1
>>51450360
Odds are you'll get 1.1 if you're really lucky.
Are Americans awake yet?
>>51450382
Thanks. I'm searching everything from CDs I have on the house, I will upload everything not available lol
Not going to bother with existing torrents, not much hope with autosnatching seedboxes
>>51450328
Post your uploads, i will snatch them
>>51450414
Yeah, revealing my username on 4chan is a great idea xD
I didn't upload anything yet, tracker is dead
>>51450423
what is the issue with revealing your username?
this isn't the fucking deep dark area of the internet you think this is mate, this is normie fucking central
>>51450423
>tracker is dead
No it's not.
>not trusting the /ptg/ family
Pretty stupid senpai.
>>51450429
I don't like taking chances
>>51450436
Understandably.
You'll get more /comfy/ as time goes on senpai
PTP RECRUITMENT WHEN?!?!?!?!
>>51450551
soon ™
>3 months until I can use the BTN thread on AHD
The dream is dead, isn't it?
>>51450696
they'll probably open on wcd before then
>>51450696
>>51450706
They'll never recruit ever again. Ever.
EVER.
This is not good right? Because of the shelf at 16kHz?
BTN will be the new HDBits in a few months.
>>51450720
Has a tracker ever done this and survived? Closed entry for good I mean.
>>51450731
That's fine
>>51450731
That's just rotational velocidensity

>>51450734

>>51450770
Well you didn't say it was a FLAC
>>51450249
lolnicetry
>>51450782
My bad. So it's no good?
>>51450795
We're fucking with you, if you're currently doing the interview you SHOULD NOT be asking here.
>>51450794
someone tell this faggot this is real
>>51450782
what did you think it was if it clearly reacheas 22kHz?
>>51450806
I'm not doing the interview, i'm studying up. If i took this long to answer i be i would've failed by now.
What exactly is an internal?
>>51450849
A movie encode that is made by a member of a tracker for that tracker
>>51450849
A release that is internal.
>>51450863
sums it up です
>>51450794
>>51450807
It's real faggot.
>>51450814
I'm talking about rotational velocidensity and you're taking me seriously?
>>51450826
Oh, sorry. Well first of all, sorry if that was you I hooked with the ebin RVD meme last thread, that's not a real thing.
Is that FLAC from a vinyl? That's a weird shelf.
>>51450883
It's ok i've been lurking long enough. No idea what the source of the flac is. I've been putting random songs into Audition and this is a track from the cowboy bebop soundtrack i downloaded a while ago.
>>51450863
Can it be uploaded elsewhere, or does it have to remain on the site?
>>51450928
Well my opinion is that it's fine. There are people more qualified then me though.
>>51450929
I'm not a member of HDbits, someone who knows the rules could help you
>>51450929
depends. ask the site and/or uploader.
>>51450929
Sites have different rules and some encoders are touch as well. If you tell me exactly which release you're talking about I can help you
>>51450731
looks fine to me
>>51450733
HDbits doesn't focus on TV, so BTN will never be "the new HDbits"
>>51450928
>No idea what the source of the flac is.
You're better off asking on what, they get really bitchy if you upload a flac and you have no idea what the source is.
>STILL NO PTP RECRUITMENT THREADS

>>51451238
>What.cd (currently offline at time of publication)
what else is new
>>51451204
Korean porn is really hard to find, as in, the good guy and girl stuff in good quality. Porn is illegal in korea and the gov keep tabs on the internet to make sure none are being produced.
>>51451226
give it to that kek drizzy
>join what thinking it's a quality tracker
>tracker offline for a week
>back online but half the torrents keep shitting themselves
wew lads, was I memed?
>>51451280
what in the fuck? i didn't type kek?
>>51451267
I question the need of general public for korean porn, desu I like porn a lot (pornolab is a great source) but I never seen a korean porn clip. For koreans it may be a valid target tracker though
>>51451286
It's generally regarded as the best tracker as they manage to have 2.5 million torrents and the tracker only goes down once a year.
>>51451286
no, its actually pretty good
So i have a waffles account now and im kind of disappointed. There isnt much music i want. Is what.cd so much better? Or what tracker is great for Electronic music?
>>51451303
>once a year
>has been down 7 times in the last 2 months
k
>>51451312
Waffles has 10% of the content on what.
>>51451312
what is 8 times larger than waffles. Go ahead name something, I bet it's on what.
what's with the text game on waffles.fm?
>>51451300
S has other content as well, not only Korean afaik. It's just a tracker for mostly Koreans since porn is illegal in Korea, and that's also why they're so locked down ever since the Korean gov kept cracking down on Korean porn sites. That said, they did have open regs back then a few years ago.
Anyway, people generally only want to get into Sinderella since it's so "exclusive", but it's only useful if you really have a thing for Korean porn or you're Korean. And the staff are probably all Korean so you most likely won't ever get into it via a recruitment thread on an English tracker and you won't see invites being offered by users as I heard they've disabled invites.
So.. what's going happening?

He said he had about 300 across all trackers. I think it's far more likely that they stopped recruiting so that he could catch up.

You have to restart your client to get the torrents seeding again when the incompetent fucks let the tracker go down, otherwise your torrents will remain red you fucking mongoloid.

you could just re-announce to the tracker, no need to restart the client

>>51452269
I sucked exactly zero dick and I went from nothing to everything in six months. Hang in there.
>>51452269
That's typically the way it works. It definitely would have gotten you around the minimum wait times. If you had done it though you wouldn't be /pure/

A /ptg/ meme about how if you weren't invited by staff/official recruiters that you're account is always at risk since one person in the invite tree can fuck it up for everyone else in the tree.
>>51452356
Well it's not like it's not true.
>>51452356
Thanks for the info. Not that it's a meme, it's true.
>>51452356
>you're
Wow, clearly I need to go to bed
>>51452368
>>51452384
Sure, but chances are that anyone that's gonna give you an invite to BTN, PTP or HDB isn't a complete fucking tard.
>>51452399
It's more a concern about inviting someone else than getting invited desu.
>>51452399
There is a crazy amount of tards on PTP.
>>51452399
Why take a chance?
How does recruiting work? E.g. from what.cd that I am to BTN, does the person that applied with highest stats gets the invite? Or it's a lottery of those applied?
>>51452356
>if you weren't invited by staff/official recruiters that you're account is always at risk since one person in the invite tree can fuck it up for everyone else in the tree.
And how is that not true?
>>51452427
If your inviter some day decides that he's tired of trackers and sells his account/invites then you will get banned.
If he invites someone else who sells/trades then you will be banned.
>>51452399
>chances are that anyone that's gonna give you an invite to BTN, PTP or HDB isn't a complete fucking tard.
You'd be surprised. There's a lot of people who think they can do whatever they want because they got to Master, and when they get treebanned, you go down the toilet with them, especially if they decide to start selling or trading invites.
>>51452421
Still /impure/
>>51452426
As long as you meet the minimum requirements you're in. Well you'd take the chance now if you're not on BTN
>>51452427
Show me where I said it wasn't. Going /impure/ is the route to take if you wanna say fuck all to the wait times.
>>51452469
>especially if they decide to start selling or trading invites
Well if someone was that stupid I'd think their stupidity would have shown itself on other trackers
>>51452441
So we agree then. Why are you arguing with me? It's not a fucking meme.

Yeah...until you lose your account for good. You've been torrenting for most of your life on public trackers, so what's 6 months waiting for BTN? I waited 6 months and I was invited by Readable and now I have an account that will never have a chance of being disabled unless I die.

Impatience is a major flaw in someone's character, not just about trackers but in life generally
>>51452541
Or you know, it shuts down.
>>51452521
You are invited. It's really quite easy to get to most sites if you're a good user (What.CD power user). The only hard one that's really worth joining at the moment is BTN which is now locked down with only a few people having invites. Give it a year or so and they will probably recruit again.
>>51452546
Thanks man. I guess I'll start uploading to what then, the sooner I reach power/elite the better chances
>>51452568
>Monday

>>51452572
>Impatience is a major flaw in someone's character, not just about trackers but in life generally
Absolutely. I don't get this impatience people have. It's not something you need right now, anyway.
The weird thing is that the people who are the most impatient about getting a BTN or PTP account are the same ones who have been hearing about private trackers for years but never thought of joining until /ptg/ sprouted up and they decided to start because they wanted to be part of a /g/ brotherhood or something.
>>51452541
So was I. All I'm saying is that /impure/ is a way to do it, just not the recommended way.
>>51452591
>Give it a year or so and they will probably recruit again.
Lol you just made some people cry with this sentence.
How the fuck have people NOT gotten their BTN account yet anyway? It's so fucking easy to get an account when you listen to /ptg/'s advice. The only hard part is the wait.
>>51452300
well as much as I'd like to follow my own advice, WCD's system doesn't allow you to gain buffer from this alone, which is why you'd need to supplement whatever you're keeping alive with everything you've snatched, and upload new torrents/fill requests to gain a fair amount of upload
there's a list of single-seed FLAC uploads that you may even gain some buffer on in the future though, if you're feeling altruistic
https://what.cd/better.php?method=single
>>51452660
I joined WCD a week before the freeleech and made 120GB buffer from my home connection. I made another 40GB of buffer from the staff picks celebration and halloween thing for a total of 160GB of buffer and growing.
I uploaded 5 mp3 encodes of the FLACs I got and I was PU in a single day and just had to wait the 2 weeks.
Feels fucking good to time my account just right.
>>51452738
>made 120GB buffer from my home connection
How?
For any of you that care, the BTN thread is still up at AHD
Is it allowed to upload V0/V2/320 that was encoded from the FLAC in the tracker? Or you have to have the CD?
>>51452762
The freeleech and not having a shit connection.
>>51452781
Yes.
>>51452781
>Is it allowed to upload V0/V2/320 that was encoded from the FLAC in the tracker?
Of course. They make this quite obvious. It's a lossless source.
>>51452792

>>51452815
torrents.php?freetorrent=1
>>51452738
Never said you couldn't get a decent buffer on your home connection, just that people who don't upload new content generally need to jump on FL picks that are only temporarily (highly) seeded, which gives them essentially 'artificial' buffer, meaning they don't need to seed the 99.99% of content that people actually care about; anything that isn't a pick.
I only need to seed maybe 10 uploads every 4 weeks to keep my elite rank.

>>51452895
I agree with everything you said except that GP are actually 50/50 HDBits and AHD.

Hi friend, I noticed that your png was unoptimized so I took the liberty of optimizing it for you.

I can dig it my nigga, although I'm more of a Sad But True kinda guy tbqh family.
>>51452988
Could someone optimize this to 1B size?

The sound of a million tears falling from people who'll never get into BTN now.

I want you to think really hard about what a Byte is anon.

It's hard to listen to arabic when the only connection I have with the language is SAA, FSA and Nusra militants talking
>>51453122
Quick way to get banned. I'd rather not take the risk desu.
>>51453023
>>51453091
Nope, as they keep being attacked, they're now setting up more DDoS protection
At least, that's what i think
>>51453124
It's hard to listen to because it sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
>The 400 million arab are ISIS and Nusra
expand your horizons my senpai, stop watching my mainstream shit news.
>>51453145
Dont be silly. They haven't invented nails or chalkboards yet.
>>51453018
Well you could have a "compression algorithm" where a single byte represents that specific image, in which case
>>51453170
I'm not watching mainstream news, I just watch the war in the Levant closely from multiple sources
>>51453180
Ahaha yes but then that byte wouldn't be that image, it would represent that image.
>>51453192
Literally every encoding ever is a representation.
"The image" is a bunch of lightwaves hitting your retina. That does not exist inside your computer.
