They must have decreased it to 10 at some point that I'm not aware of, because I believe it is physically impossible for me to have 42000 bonus points at 1 pt an hour. You are correct though, it is definitely 10 right now, but they must have lowered it fairly recently.

This. No reason whatsoever to donate. I think I have blown 4k bonus points in the last couple months on 10G upload credits and nuking H&Rs. I am still sitting at a 4.13 ratio.

*hint* Just use Freeleech and seed your shit!

I use TBP and have never had an issue, I am not in the USA so not to worried about the FBI knocking at my door. I also use easynews.com it's direct, no torrents and costs 9.99 a month (basically netflicks) I think I get 20 gigs a month, but it carries over each month, last i checked I had 150 spare gigs. Speed is good typically 900+ which is why I like it. Downside is most episodes are individual, so I have yet to download a complete set of anything, and you must watch out for non English uploads. If I want to watch it NOW I use easynews.

I did get GoT season 1-3 from TPB last week, only took 16 hours for 28 gigs.

For new movies, you will notice TBPs top uploader is YiFY, he now has his own site so you can get his torrents direct instead of other sources. They are great for downloads due to small size but the sound is typically weak.

http://yify-torrents.com

He is we'll know so I would imagine this site has gotten the attention of TPTB, so use catution if you think you are susceptible to legal issues.

imo only get yify for drama's/comedies and that's it nothing at all related to action cuz it'll look like shit, but for drama's where ppl just stand there and talk or comedies, really good quality/compression.

That is true, once I got my new tv I did re download a bunch of my action flicks with 5-10 gig files instead his normal 900mb ones. Previously I was watch the majority on an old (but solid) 50 inch pioneer rear projection. I also was streaming via my ps3 and it could not Handle the large files. The Samsung AllShare is amazing for streaming but I have yet to test it with a quality sound system. I hope to fix that this week.

If size matters to you you can not beat his compressions.

were you streaming wirelessly with the ps3? cuz that's an issue, just not enough bandwidth, wired ps3 streaming 5g/10g 720/1080p is no issue.

New Roku w/ Plex has completely replaced my PS3 streaming. Movies I play are flawless even over wifi. If you can't get to an ethernet cable, the Roku3 is pretty dang slick.

Yeah I have 47 torrents seeding on IPT just because I can't be bothered to delete them off my seedbox.

I have 11k bonus points. I have only 3 of those 47 torrents that aren't at least 1:1 ratio.

I have 10TB uploaded and I think 400GB downloaded.

IPT is one of the easiest sites to maintain and I was using it to maintain all the same on TorrentLeech for the longest time just by cross seeding the same exact files. I just forgot to for a while and they deleted my account, those bastards.

Yup, ps3 was 20ft from my router so I said fuck it let's live in the 21st century. Keep in mind I did not have a HDTV in my man cave until last month, so I was happy with the lower quality compressed files.

I haven't streamed to my PS3 in a long time, but I just checked the specs on the newest slim, and you are correct. No wireless N

Wonder why the newer Xbox 360 got N ,and the newer PS3 did not.

Anyone know why TVTorrents downloads would be stuck "finding peers" IPTorrents works fine...I'm on uTorrent, nothing else seems to have issues.

Only time I have run across that was when I was downloading some old / obscure TV series. If its something newer, there might be other issues.

What are ISP notices? Are your ISPs allowed to inspect your packages so they can actually see you're torrenting, or are they just telling people they don't like it when they use the service they paid for?

There can be a couple different kinds of notices. One kind would be a bandwith notice, if they see your are uploading hundreds of GB per month, that could put you on their watch list and they might send you a nasty letter saying they can shut down or throttle your service. Also if you are what they consider a "power user" uploading and downloading a ton of traffic each month then they are probably going to look and see exactly what you are doing, under the initial guise of them checking to see if you are running some sort of server out of your home and that you should be on a commercial/business account which is no faster than a personal one, but they can charge you 10x as much. Worst case scenario is that your ISP actually gets a notice from the RIAA or a movie company that they have tracked media sharing back to you, in which case your ISP will be more than happy to turn over all logs that they have of your traffic, as far back as they keep them.

Gotta love the ol USofA, theres no such thing as privacy left in this country.

Umm I know Kabel Deutschland are the biggest nazi's when it comes to this (pun intended).

If your IP is flagged for pirating they come after you with a notice saying they are going to cut your service and take legal action if you keep getting caught.

No, that isn't it at all. There is no blatant piracy tolerated on open and blatant pirate trackers. You have to only put the slightest bit of effort to not get caught.

Been "pirating" in some form of another since 1999 and even was in a video encoding release group back in the day. Never once have I gotten a notice from my ISP. It's simple things to not get caught.

Anyone have a spare IPT invite?

I've got a friend who needs a site for movies. He's new to torrents, so I can't guarantee his success. But he's been doing alright at BTN.

If he's doing OK at BTN, when he becomes a Power User he can go to the invite forum and get an invite to PTP, the biggest movie tracker.

I would love a BTN or PTP if anyone has one.
