Old thread >>53870641

Comfy rules:
r/trackers >>>/out/
ratio-cucks >>>/biz/

Before you get in any whatcuck/what.cd faggotry for other trackers remember you can get in PTP using CG and BiB and BTN doesn't recruit atm. & you really don't need 90% what.cd if you have rutracker.

Not sure what private trackers are all about?

The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.

Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

My name is not important... What is important is what I'm going to upload. I just fucking hate the music industry, and the corporate moguls feasting on its carcass. My listening experience is just awful, shitty transcodes, and I always wanted to share my music. This is the time of piracy and every album is worth ripping. And I will put on the site as many as I can. It's time for me to seed... and it's time for me to snatch. My What.CD adventure begins here.

Mediocre public tracker user here. I got a general question about private trackers.

Follow up: Do people only seed because they need to get a good ratio to download their stuff?
I think in those tighter communities people actually want to seed. The same I seed my stuff because it is the right thing to do.

Now if this is true, what is the point of a ration requirement (which reading about private trackers made me believe there is)?
It seems to me that forcing everyone to have a ration of at least 2 (uploading twice as much as they download) cannot mathematically work out if applied to the whole community. Not _everyone_ can have a ratio of 2 (correct me if im wrong).
So how does that work? Again it seems to me that it doesnt make sense to enforce a > 1 ratio for everyone as long as you still have plentiful seeders. There has to be some mechanism to allow people with less than 1 ratio to download so others can get more ratio.
Also this ratio chasing seems to create actually useless bandwith where a lot of people might download something just to seed and not because they want it. If enough people do that you get a "circlejerk" of people seeding to eachother without any of them being interested in the file, just the seeding.

>Follow up: Do people only seed because they need to get a good ratio to download their stuff?
Yes. Thats why most posts here are about grabbing the latest freeleech torrent or the latest what.cd staff pick or even pyramid tips. Most of the time the content is shit

>I think in those tighter communities people actually want to seed. The same I seed my stuff because it is the right thing to do.
Only a small minority do that. If this was not enforced it would become a curry-tracker like waffles or Torrent-Shack (all torrents have 1 seeder)


>It seems to me that forcing everyone to have a ration of at least 2 (uploading twice as much as they download) cannot mathematically work out if applied to the whole community. Not _everyone_ can have a ratio of 2 (correct me if im wrong).

1.0 is the recommended ratio. 0.6 is acceptable. It is not a 0 sum game. Freeleech events allow you to make buffer, without sacrificing the other person's ratio

>So how does that work? Again it seems to me that it doesnt make sense to enforce a > 1 ratio for everyone as long as you still have plentiful seeders. There has to be some mechanism to allow people with less than 1 ratio to download so others can get more ratio.
Yep in some trackers, they do donations for GBs. Other trackers if you seed stuff for a long time you get bonus points (eve if no one downloads your shit) which you can exchange for GBs

Some trackers also have a mandatory seeding period, where if you stop seeding you will get a warning or be banned.Its usually small tho
>>
>>53880760
>Do people only seed because they need to get a good ratio to download their stuff?
In the beginning maybe / partially, but on higher tier trackers most people are good enough users where their ratio doesn't really matter (because from regular use they get enough), or some trackers are ratioless. I think a lot of people, including myself, enjoy seeding and distributing content they like.

>I think in those tighter communities people actually want to seed. The same I seed my stuff because it is the right thing to do.
Right, there is also a bit of a draw to seeding stuff that is lower in popularity. I always seed esoteric stuff the most so keep it alive.

>Now if this is true, what is the point of a ration requirement (which reading about private trackers made me believe there is)?
>It seems to me that forcing everyone to have a ration of at least 2 (uploading twice as much as they download) cannot mathematically work out if applied to the whole community. Not _everyone_ can have a ratio of 2 (correct me if im wrong).
It's not a completely closed economy. There are things like freeleech pretty common.

>So how does that work? Again it seems to me that it doesnt make sense to enforce a > 1 ratio for everyone as long as you still have plentiful seeders. There has to be some mechanism to allow people with less than 1 ratio to download so others can get more ratio.
Yeah, freeleech and bonus point systems. You can convert bonus points into upload credit on a lot of trackers. It depends on the tracker.

>Also this ratio chasing seems to create actually useless bandwith where a lot of people might download something just to seed and not because they want it. If enough people do that you get a "circlejerk" of people seeding to eachother without any of them being interested in the file, just the seeding.
This for sure happens, but, the better trackers try to keep this under control. If your ratio is 10:1 you look like an asshole on these.

>Do people only seed because they need to get a good ratio to download their stuff?
I'm sure some people do; but a lot of that wouldn't even be malice, but because of overly restrictive ratio requirements.
>I think in those tighter communities people actually want to seed.
Yes.

>It seems to me that forcing everyone to have a ration of at least ...
Restrictive ratio requirements are what makes What such a terrible tracker.
I don't know of any trackers that force you to a 1:1 ratio though, and definitely not higher. At most you see 0.60 requirements. Some trackers are ratioless altogether and work fine.

>Also this ratio chasing seems to create actually useless bandwith where a lot of people might download something just to seed and not because they want it.
Again, What.cd. Because you're not gaining any sort of Bonus Points from seeding content, from which to then use to purchase Upload and add to your ratio, you're forced to download trash you don't want, and to download it fast. New item goes Freeleech? Better grab it quick so you get all that juicy upload - then you can go off and download that obscure album you actually want to listen to. Basically everyone gets stuck downloading the same shitty staff pick every week.

GREAT smaller TRACKERs(like PTP) RIDE ON a handful of loyal seedbox users and the rest leech and ratio-cuck.Those box users don't have 2.0 ratio they have a huge ratio and if it weren't for them the tracker would be worse than IPT!
AND THAT'S THE ONLY TRUTH THAT MATTERS.

I wouldn't call PTP a smaller tracker

But you are absolutely right. The seedboxes do benefit the tracker as a whole though. Even if it is at the expanse of the "poorer" members

If you see a 1 seed torrent, who would you rather that seed be? a seedbox user or the BP seeder who limits his upload speed to 10 kb/ps just to game the system

PTP has a lot of torrents but that's not the point, the point is how many users use the site+tracker, that's what makes it big.
>>
>>53881202
>The seedboxes do benefit the tracker as a whole though

No they don't. Seedboxes only benefit other seedbox faggots.

Seedboxes are only good for new content, less than two months old. SEEDBOXFAGS WIPE THEIR SHIT ALL THE TIME A TRACKER WITH ONLY SEEDBOXES WOULD LOOK LIKE PIRATEBAY FOR SOMETHING OLDER THAN 1 YEAR OLD WITH NO SEEDERS ON THAT SHIT.
>>
>>53881261
Maybe you need to recheck files, run as admin and make sure the folder is not read only.
>>
>>53881288
I have a seedbox and permaseed lots of esoteric stuff that has low seeder.
>>
>>53881283
no shit those trackers are general ones serving entire slav shitholes no shit they are bigger. IPT is about 1 million users it's laughable it's even considered private.

AHD is small.
>>
>>53881288
>A TRACKER WITH ONLY SEEDBOXES WOULD LOOK LIKE PIRATEBAY
Cause TPB is full of seedboxes, and no seedboxes are good for old content not the new content cause the new content has the most seeds anyway.
>>
>>53881324
They are general & your point is?(you can't join ncore or FL as easy as IPT)
>slav shitholes
You're wrong mate, they're quite decent.
>>
>>53881095
Yeah, the people that whine about seedbox users are the ones on crap connections who can't make use of the good download speeds. I love it that people shell out their good money for seedboxes so that I can use my 200Mb/s download.
>>
>>53881307
You are in the minority then. PTP/BTN, pretty much everywhere but whatcuck if you are looking for content that is over a year old you will be connecting to home connections more often than not because seedboxfags have all fucked off by then to ratiowhore autodl the newest shit.

>>53881341
I'm talking about private trackers faggot. You know good seedbox companies don't allow public trackers so that shitty argument for TPB is out right away. A seedbox only private tracker would look like piratebay in over a year.

And if you want to talk about good public trackers then look at rutracker. Shit is very well seeded there even years old shit and barely any seedboxes. FUCK SEEDBOXES HDB HAD IT RIGHT FUCK THEM ALL.

>>53881367
The trackers are decent but their users are mostly slavshit.
>>
>>53881376
Any decent Seedbox(not homemade shitmess) is way better than any home connection.
>>
>>53881393
Rarbg has a few seedboxes

>You know good seedbox companies don't allow public trackers
>A seedbox only private tracker would look like piratebay
Well how would it look the same as TPB when TPB doesn't have seedboxes? You're contradicting yourself.
>>
>>53880760
>Also this ratio chasing seems to create actually useless bandwith where a lot of people might download something just to seed and not because they want it. If enough people do that you get a "circlejerk" of people seeding to eachother without any of them being interested in the file, just the seeding.

This is true to a large extent, and I guess you'll have to compare the cost of people's bandwidth, storage, and time against the goals that freeleech accomplishes, of which I can name three.

1. Freeleech is a pretty straightforward way of pumping extra upload credit into the economy. You don't need to come up with formulas for bonus point schemes, just adjust the amount of freeleech up or down as needed. The problem with this is the disproportionate advantage that people with seedboxes get. Request bounties help with transferring that credit to slower uploaders to some extent, but it's enough of a problem that What just outlawed automated freeleech snatching.

2. Freeleech does help with retention. Any album that becomes a FL pick on What is going to get copied several hundred times. Even if most of those get deleted, you're still probably going to end up with more long-term seeders than you had before.

3. People actually do end up checking FL picks out. If I picked an album I really liked for FL and even less than 1% of the snatchers end up giving it a listen, I'd be happy.

Points 2 and 3 definitely vary from tracker to tracker. The seeder surge system on TC doesn't feel like it works as well as it's supposed to, and there's another tracker where I really am just downloading worthless garbage to get credit. And there are places with extremely easy economies where things also get well-seeded. (Like rutracker. I don't know how they do it.) Every tracker's different. What seems to be making it work more or less okay, though. I think it'd be nice if they did more to encourage moving credit from the hoarders to the request bounties.
>>
>>53880526
>What's the minimum seeding requirements?

There aren't any.

As long as you keep your account's ratio in order you can do just about anything you want. The best way to keep a good ratio going is simply by downloading the 300 smallest torrents. That way you gain like 100 bp/hor and can remove 4GB download from your ratio every day.

If you want to download large torrents like siterips, it's fine since they are all permanently free leech

Seriously, there is a reason people say that emp is the best porn tracker.
>>
>>53881890
>not him
That's a good way of doing it.
I downloaded 3 x 20GB freeleech packs when I joined (1 new and the others 2 years old) and gained a load of buffer from those.

I'm just excited my seedbox will go to a good cause. I have lots of stuff permaseeding that is esoteric and while I feel good about it staying seeded, I hate that I rarely see that good feel of uploading
>>
>>53881406
I know, but that's not the point. In the end, what matters is that you max out your home connection (unless you're streaming). I don't give a shit if something downloads fast to a seedbox if it's going to end up on my local HDD anyway.

By the way, I'm downloading a 2 year old remux of an old unpopular movie from PTP at the moment with 20MB/s+. So yeah, I'm really glad people are paying for seedboxes.

is 1080p worth it vs 720p anons?
>>
>>53883380
Depends. The Once Upon A Time internal encode on HDB is 720p because it literally cannot look any better. Most stuff does look better in 1080p though.
>>
>>53883380
Not if your eyesight is damaged so much you can't notice the different.
>>
>>53883380
If you've got the disk space to spare just get remuxes. Failing that always get the 1080p because even on the occasions where there's no discernable difference with it and a 720p it's not really worth chancing it that you'll have an inferior quality encode. A good encode will make a 1080p sufficiently small as well as retaining all of its quality anyway.
>>
>>53883380
Not if it's anime (mostly) or HDTV or WEB-DL.

Basically, only ever for live action bluray.
>>
>>53883448
>remuxes

Only if it's an AHD Remux. Encodes are a meme.
>>
>>53883493
>he's not on HDB
>>
>>53883516
>he don't care
>>
>>53883493
AHD remuxes are generally better and they have the widest selection, but HDB remuxes aren't all bad. I think for movies remux is always a must and agree that encodes have become a bit of a meme, but for TV shows I generally go with encodes because of the sheer size that remuxes would be, for example one of my favorite shows, The Sopranos, to have the entire series in remuxes would be several TB, now multiply that by dozens of TV series and you have an absurd amount of disk space occupied. And for two, there is a serious lack of availability anyway.

I'M GETTING CLOSE GUYS

Hey guys I don't usually spoil what happens, but I will make an exception for today (I'm a time traveller):

312c will eventually lose his staff position, which will be good news for a lot of people. But it will create a rift so huge in PTP that it will break the tracker apart and fade into nothingness. After a while there will be another one created by some of the old staff/encoders, but won't be as good as the original.

All this will happen in the next 5-10 years.

I have a theory that What.CD is run by the tech society at a a university, with site staff being chosen in person from that group. It explains why they have such a high turnover of staff, and why it's seemingly impossible to link staff accounts to their normal user accounts.
>>
>>53884707

So literally what happens with every tracker / online community?
>>
>>53884707

>>53884730
It's run by the goverment
>>
>>53884754
HDB might live.
>>
>>53884730
I think the high turnover is because a lot of the staff are in university and graduate and need to get jobs / no longer have time.

I think a place like PTP is run by disabled people and NEETs.
>>
>>53884730
>>53884791
and HDB is run by system admins from some huge companies that shit around most the time just making sure shit is running but have a lot of down time. They are BOFH generation.

If DON have done a 720 encode of something but not a 1080 encode, and it's old so it's unlikely they're gonna do a 1080, is it best to assume that they decided that there'd be no improvement on a 720 so you may as well just download that?

I got banned from WCD some time ago, took the interview and all was fine, got back in, looked at my old account page and within minutes I was banned. The only logical explanation is they watched what page I visited, they possibly have some sort of trigger warning setup to detect when people do suspicious things. Either way, I think this needs to be possible within Gazelle itself for then to see what pages people visit.
