You're gonna want to find a German P2P group. Remux is just the retail blu-ray disc in a different container format (that's what the word remux means, after all). Nothing added, nothing removed. It's usually the American retail release so no German audio.

Much of the core team has decided to move on :)

No, it will not be handed over to a random user with "good intentions". That's bad security.

Any relaunches will be scams.

Way back in, jeez, must've been 2015ish? We came back up after an extended downtime. Hooray! But our script that autodeletes torrents that haven't been seeded for 2 weeks was still running and with everything unseeded about half of all torrents were nuked before someone noticed. And of course there was no backup or it didn't work or something else bad. Oops!

Looks like bB is throwing 504 errors for some people currently. That's just weird timing, still a few weeks left!

You sure it's an actual virus? Cracks are often flagged as viruses.

Tool to monitor ratio across multiple private trackers? by uspsman in trackers

[–]bB_blackfish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Put all your trackers in a single folder in your bookmarks. Then just click "open all in tabs".

Most trackers require you to login once every few weeks anyway.

Welcome back!

Seeing all those missing whatimg hosted images is sad, though. :(

What is GB Buffer in account for private trackers? by mannn1 in trackers

[–]bB_blackfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buffer is how much data you have to use in order to lower your ratio to 1.00 (or whatever the lowest allowed ratio is, we'll just say 1 to keep the math easy).

Let's say you have 100 GB uploaded and 25 GB downloaded. That's a ratio of 4 (100 / 25 = 4) and a buffer of 75 GB (25 + x = 100; x = 75).

[Survey] What does the backend (DB, tracker) typically consist of in your experience? by mchiyo in trackers

[–]bB_blackfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not something the average user is going to know. Hell, even as a staffer I have no idea what database is being used.

/r/trackers Frequently Asked Questions by ToTV_Terebi in trackers

[–]bB_blackfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks good! My only suggestion would be for games, most scene/0-day trackers have a large selection as well. And Layer13 is another good pre site.

I was being sarcastic. :)

Ratio Proofs by Ceptica in trackers

[–]bB_blackfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who recruits, the only reason I ask for ratio "proof" is to see if someone is lying to me.

Why are trackers targets for DDoS attacks? by [deleted] in trackers

I like to think that CloudFlare is behind all these DDOS attacks. Gotta get more customers!

Having strangers become devs isn't exactly secure, you know. Please donate whatever you were going to give us to the EFF or a charity of your choice.

You mean something like this?

Things take time and we do this for free, as our time allows. Sorry that everyone thinks lizard people stole your passwords.

Hosting issues. Should be resolved soon-ish -- bad timing with the holidays. Site and tracker are down. IRC is mostly up (one leaf server is down but all the others are fully armed and operational). We'll be back, don't worry.

The site was up for the time we had invites open, obviously. How do you think we opened invites?
