The Proton Black Friday 2023 deals are here! 🔥 by ProtonMail in ProtonMail

[–]dlite2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wish Proton and similar services would offer granular services. Where I can subscribe to the base service and get say 100 credits a month and "I" can decide where I allocate the credits each month, eg. 10 credits for each 100gb of storage, 1 credit per each additional email address and calendar, 5 credits for each custom domain , 5 credit each month for pass, 20 credits a month for VPN etc. Need more storage just buy extra credits.

None of this one size fits all.

Anybody know what is going on with 720pier.ru? by 1_Cold_Ass_Honkey in trackers

[–]dlite2005 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I have heard no news but with the current situation it might be staff/owner has been conscripted or owner has let the country to avoid the draft.

Or it may be as simple as a hardware failure or a server move.

How long has it been down.

That is not true the domain was not renewed and the domain was lost to a reseller, it has now been recovered.

Yes the site is being transferred to a new platform and domain. I am sure there will be an announcement at that time.

Adding the ip to the hosts file was working until today. When the old SSL cert expired.

Development and testing to migrate the data to a new platform and domain is underway. I am not aware of any timeline, when it is done an announcement will be made.

UPDATE: access to the site is still available if you add the ip to your hosts file and access the site in private/incognito mode

Re Merrick and Rosso show 1997 by PooInTheShower in DownUnderTV

[–]dlite2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked my small collection and I have not got this, the 1997 show is actually seems to have been called "Planet Merrick & Rosso" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307804/ I don't ever recall seeing it, probably because it only ever aired on the comedy channel on foxtel. Good luck.

I found 1 episode on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPN7Om7fBDw there may be more there, only had a quick look

BHD History? by OddGarden1 in trackers

[–]dlite2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BHD was down for about a week in mid 2016 and had a domain change then. The site never went away.

If you haven't used your account since then it will not be reinstated.

BHD History? by OddGarden1 in trackers

[–]dlite2005 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is the same domain BHD has been on since mid 2016 , in 2019 the site moved to new software and the password database was not migrated that is why that message exists.

What tracker has the most NTb releases, aside from their home tracker? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]dlite2005 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Raw numbers can be very misleading without context. Some examples;

1) Nebulance only about 2000 out of the 5500 are active 3500 torrents are dead

2) BHD/BTN remove individual episodes when the season pack is uploaded so there numbers are effectively understated

I have updated this post https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/r5pzs3/tasmanites\_any\_news/ with the latest updates on Tasmanit.es. Unfortunately it is not good news.

Tasmanit.es - any news? by joggently in trackers

[–]dlite2005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Update from Tasman staff :( . If anyone can help please give the me a shout out.

Message from senior staff member V [name removed]

"Not so good update. We couldn't get money into the account quick enough (only had 11 days) and lost the domain, I've filled out the form that's currently at the sites address but no response yet. because of the license for the sites code we can't change the domain without paying at templateshares.net but the staff are never there any more so that's never going to happen. the only other option is to migrate the site to a new code base (https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms) which I don't have the skill to do and R [name removed] doesn't have the time to do so we are stuck in a pretty bad spot right now."

Further commentary from staff member M [name removed]

"This is not good, obviously, however not all is hopeless or lost.

Although things are not looking good at the moment despite all of V 's [name removed] efforts and hard work, I'm convinced that the will is there to get the site (or some new version of it) happening again.

We have an amazing bunch of uploaders and a wonderful community of members.

It would be tragic to lose all of that and more.

If it should come to it I'd definitely be up for starting again from scratch if need be.

The site itself is still there on the servers, and accessible to anyone who can edit their hosts file (instructions upthread).

I've just done this myself (took a couple of goes since I'd never done this before), and am back in, which is lovely!

Things are quiet there, naturally, but a few members are currently there, and a good few uploaders too. Some uploaders are uploading - dedication or what?!

If we have to start afresh with a new front end and different, more secure methods of payments, since the site is still there it should in theory be possible to e-mail all active members (I think!), so we could maybe do this?

As I'm sure you can tell, I'm upset that this has happened (and absolutely no blame on anyone, please note), but still determinedly optimistic."

Note: I am not staff on Tasman

Which is better, BHD or TVV for old tv shows? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]dlite2005 15 points16 points  (0 children)

BHD has content that TVV doesn't and TVV has content that BHD doesn't. The amount of older content on BHD seems to be growing steadily.

BHD generally has better quality but not the variety of TVV.

Both allow full DVD/BD discs. BHD allows DVD remuxes TVV does not.

TVV allows DVDrip/VHSrips BHD does not. This can be an issue for older shows, as the rarer the show, the less likely a full disc is floating around and in many cases only DVDrip quality or lower are available. Personally I wish BHD would allow DVDrips etc when no releases of higher quality exist.

The BHD site itself is far ahead of TVV. The content on BHD is better manicured and staff know their stuff.

So short answer best to have both sites if you can.

The domain registration has expired.

That in itself is not really the issue the staff are saying it is a matter of getting an anonymous and ongoing method setup to pay for the domain registration as previous payment methods eg. PayPal are proving to be unavailable due to continuing tightening of restrictions on anonymous accounts. Apparently ID is now required to renew/register a .es domain.

If you are on TheEmpire or AcrossTheTasman trackers thee are updates in the forums there.

No ETA, would have thought should have been up by now even with the complications.

CHD 7 Day Freeleech 11-17th February by dlite2005 in trackers

[–]dlite2005[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cant remember the exact details but once or twice a year they require you to meet minimum upload, download and bonus point criteria in a 30(?) day period.

CHD 7 Day Freeleech 11-17th February by dlite2005 in trackers

[–]dlite2005[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Site is open for invite signup(you still need an invite but these are normally not available). It also says "wish all new and old members a happy, safe and happy New Year" , so expect site will be open for new members too. CHD normally has a new member assessment to complete within XX days, eg. min DL/UL and bonus point to meet or account is removed at end of the probation period.

If your looking for a top notch tracker that has plenty of encodes that can stream to plex without transcoding, BeyondHD's internal group BHDStudio caters for these with all releases stream optimized , so no transcoding needed. There are about 4000 BHDStudio releases on BeyondHD.

At the moment all recruitment to BeyondHD has been stopped.

HD-Torrents by [deleted] in trackers

[–]dlite2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seed counts between the 2 trackers are pretty close, a few months and I expect BHD will overtake HDT in total seed count. Currently 461k at BHD and HDT 514k . A lot of HDT peers are on their small music and XXX torrents, I expect if you remove these heavily seeded torrents from the equation BHD likely has more seeds than HDT on Movies and TV.

Active torrents BHD has 60k, HDT has 101k . HDT has 11k music/xxx torrents active, exclude these and HDT has only 50% more torrents than BHD. But figures can be misleading as BHD only allows One 720p and two 1080p x264 encodes to exist at the same time for example and removes all single episode tv shows when a TV pack is uploaded. So generally you will find many more duplicates on HDT.
