Private trackers

Some of the RARBG releases are from low tiers sites such as IPT (MeGusta, EVO etc).

Scene releases also aren't nearly as good as encode groups from some of the PTs I mentioned. There's a couple reasons for this but it mostly comes down to how scene operates in terms of PRE times. Scene isn't too concerned with quality as much as beating the other groups to release. There is a minor difference between Scene and P2P in terms of WEB-DLs but there is a major difference between them with encodes. I won't go into all the differences but the easiest one to think about that relates to both is HDR. Hybrids did not exist in Scene till the rules revision last year (which only applies to encodes):
High Definition x264 and Ultra High Definition x265 Standards Addendum 1 Revision 5.0 Addendum 1 - 2022-10-18
and typically speaking source doesn't matter as much when it comes to WEB-DLs. This is a big problem as there are many cases in the P2P PT world where a release needs to be repacked due to a better source appearing. For example Linux.ISO.2160p.DoVi.H.265-Netflix in many cases has a lower bitrate than Linux.ISO.2160p.DoVi.H.265-DSNP or Linux.ISO.2160p.DoVi.H.265-iTunes, so a repack is needed to ensure the best quality source is ripped. Since scene doesn't do hybrid WEB-DLs you can't get a DoVi release with HDR10 fallback. As for encodes without going into extreme detail the major difference is the lack of usage around Avisynth+ or Vapoursynth and usually okay x264 or x265 settings to ensure acceptable quality and quick pretimes. There are many cases where an encode requires some form of filtering due to a number of potential artifacts such as dirty lines, banding, blocking, halo/ringing etc.

Hope this helps a bit.

Fair points but honestly for me I'm not that deep into private encode groups vs scene vs p2p. I do actually like the DV fallback to HDR releases. If these releases are faulty they will get nuked anyways.

If you weigh up the options these private usenet indexers aren't worth it.

You end up paying so much I don't think it's worth it and releases on rarbg is way faster.

I was going to say. I don't see the point in these sites. I've never had an issue finding things on public trackers.

Looks like Google is cracking down on unlimited storage. I haven't received any notification as of yet.

Yeah. We are discussing it here.

Google drive mounted in Windows/Linux

Yeah, that is what they want you to believe so that you can part with your money, keep them in business and enrich them. But, in reality, very few people will be affected by any of their selling points. The costs with running a server from home is still a million times cheaper and easier as they...

Its normally retention and some obscure stuff that I just have never seen in public trackers like certain cartoons in a decent quality and movies that weren't as popular but are still good

I used the TCP optimizer optimal setting with slider to the max speed. Afrihost



I only ever installed it on a server with docker. I will play around with it a bit to see how well it works with the local gui connected to server.

Okay so I just want to confirm that you're talking about the TCP optimiser app and not a setting in Transmission? Just want to make sure I'm not being a potato.

Yes tcp optimizer app.

In transmission you can set connection methods via tcp only and it should improve speeds.

Thanks, currently my transmission is running on a nix box but might give it a try on windows too and see how it compares.
 
I seed.

Looking for 4K HDR x265 content if anyone has invites to private or links to public trackers for that?
