>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

>Have a question?

>It doesn't matter if you use the same username in different trackers, the staff still share your IP with each other.
>Staff is reading, being /marked/ is not a meme, and even if it is, it isn't.
>Don't ask for invites, it's private for a reason.
>If starting out you should interview for RED, rank to Torrent Master, wait on account age, and get invites from there. THAT'S IT THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

I seed on RED from my home connection 24/7. Is it worth upgrading my home connection from 17 Mbps upload to 43 Mbps upload? It would cost an extra $5 AUD / $3.53 USD per month. Would it be better to put that money towards a seedbox?

Doesn't 17 -> 43 upload also give you 50 -> 500 download? At least this was the case when I looked ~6 months ago. It's worth it for that alone.

I'm in Australia. 1000Mbps download plans come with 100Mbps upload and it would cost an extra $20 AUD ($14 USD).

How likely is it that these two files are from the same source?
Same file size.
Predators.2025.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-BLOOM.mkv 4.06GB
Predators.2025.1080p.WEB.h264-EDITH.mkv 4.06GB

First one has two srts & the second one has one. Both have the same language.
I downloaded the second one & it has a hard-coded subtitle at 00:13:13.835.
Not sure why the scene doesn't include more information like P2P groups?
Is is because you can only get one version of a movie?

This one does not have any hard coded subtitles.
It says it's AMZN but there is a PMTP opening logo & it's smaller in file size.
Predators.2025.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-BiOMA.mkv 3.79GB

It has four subtitles in three languages, but the subtitle seems to be out of sync.
I'm only one minute in & syncing subtitles makes me want to KMS. I don't know how anime groups do this.
I had a look at this forum https://www.sub-talk.net/topic/3143-how-to-sync-a-file-using-subtitleedit.
Are there more recent guides or people who know more?
I feel like I'm missing something, it shouldn't feel this difficult.
Do I just lack concentration or do groups just split the work?

>>108555057
Is it not a bad idea to have your passwords & TOTP/Backup-Codes all in one password manager?
Seems like you have just reduced everything to one factor.

Just a moment of silence
For those of you who know, you know. But we recently lost an important friend and member of the torrenting community, and if everyone could say just a little prayer for them and their family as they deal with it. I don't want to out the person, but it's worth mentioning that we are all a family here, and despite the competitive and sometimes adversarial nature of this community, it is truly one of a kind and deserves respect and love when one of our members is lost.

To me, he was a good friend, a level head when I was otherwise a loose cannon, and just an all-around fantastic person with great energy.

For those of you who know who I'm referring to, please don't make a big deal about this and give out who, but if you want to send your condolences, I can make sure it's passed along.

I would not be able to remember several master passwords. And if I forget this single one I am killing myself. In the case that your database gets compromised you have bigger worries than your totp being in the same database - I would assume. Splitting all your different things into different databases is more secure.

Not going to address many of the asinine comments from people who ostensibly don't have jobs and use this place as the only way to feel like they have agency over life. Will instead address the people who actually offered help and solutions. The thread got closed before I could even reply, as I have been gone a month+ because it was the most active time in my development, as - unlike many of you - i action my words, saw the housing crisis in my country, and redirected all my capital and time to building homes. I now have two homes landing end of month to be bought by families at affordable prices. But many of you like to just be negative, say I am "refusing to do basic work" or "any level of commitment is too much work for this guy".


Well, to the chagrin of many angry people here: I heard, I listened, and I have acted. It is quite simple to find bandcamp requests, purchase them, and then upload the torrent. I just did one for 5gb bounty and I am hoping I didn't mess up the process, and if I did I am sure it'll be an easy fix for next time on my end.

I've been given what is a seemingly simple way to contribute, because some of you actually aren't here for the sole purpose of trying to feel smart while everything outside of torrenting in your life falls apart. I find it strange that in multiple back and forths with the mods here, not a single one suggested this hyper simple process, and instead fixated on the fact they seemed confused that someone could be successful and busy.


Suffice to say, happy to keep supporting and buying albums for people. As this community is fantastic, and I appreciate much of the support I got from people.
>>
>>108560776
In regards to comments like this:

"For everyone else spending their valuable free time in this thread, please realize that we have seen this complaint many times before, and it is nearly always from someone who is never going to be willing to expend any effort whatsoever. You're wasting your time if you are spending any effort trying to explain ways to improve ratio, they're clearly not going to do it." - VeggieManiac

You are the type of negative person that creates the negative world you suppose exists around you, you bring it into creation, and I am going to guess you are the type of person who constantly has everything around them fail and you always blame someone else. I hope you get help.


These people didn't waste their time helping, as now I am for the first time in a decade, uploading. You, on the other hand, sound like a detriment to this community, and to the people around you.


"if you can afford albums why support this archival place?" Was another popular comment. Not exactly sure you understand why you are here, and maybe you shouldve been weeded out of the IRC process.


Again, thanks to the people who showed empathy and tried to actually help, you know who you all are.

I never understood why trackers delete the torrents which fail a reseed request.
Just keep the torrent there and keep nagging the users who snatched it for all eternity.
If a torrent has to be deleted, it must be for a very good reason (it's trumped by another better one), with manual staff intervention.

I'm not sure I'd climb to TM now if I was starting out. I got onto PTP, TehConnection, GOEM and others from What back in the day. I'd probably get into ATH and MTV and chill.

Minority sure, but don't underestimate the supply of teens with infinite free time rolling in here. Take a look at the overflowing RED interview queue, this very general, and the various tracker subreddits people flow in from. Plus all the youtube and media attention for stuff like plex and jellyfin. People on those kinds of places end up trickling down to PTs.

Hi, to people who are in Karagarga, from where do you find movies to upload? It says non mainstream Hollywood or Indian movies. like how do you differentiate it? like ask staff all the times? I'm kinda confused.

Hello,

I was always under the impression that MAM was one of the better ways to get deeper into the PT scene. I just hit six months today and was excited to access the invites forum, since Tracker Pathways shows that many trackers I want to get into recruit from MAM.

To my surprise, the invite forum is quite barren! None of the trackers I looked forward to getting into recruit from MAM anymore. Many of them are now on the "do not discuss" list. All thats left is the "lower level" trackers that I am already in. Quite a disappointment!

Why the change? What is the new meta? Thanks!
