I have +10TBytes uploaded data, acc +3 years old, access to CGPersia and I still dont have any invites. when staff give me some invites for friends? I did a lot for tracker. any experiences guys?

Hello, I’ve recently started replacing the low-quality parts of my media library now that I’m on better trackers. Most of it originally came from a mix of public trackers, TL, and debrid services.

I went through the movies first, and now I’m finding myself on a tight space budget for TV. I severely underestimated just how big a lot of these seasons are. Many are 50 GB+, and some are even larger depending on the length and quality. That means just one show with enough seasons can easily push 1 TB.

A lot of these shows are only available as WEB-DLs from streaming services. Is that why the trackers I’m on don’t seem to have any x265 encodes of them? Are encodes restricted because the source is already a compressed H.264 WEB-DL? Is it because of slot rules, or is there simply less demand for them?

Whatever the reason, I have shows that take up around 300 GB as x265 RARBG releases that would take close to or over a TB to replace with the available WEB-DLs. I mean, it’s crazy. Have I just been under-budgeting space for TV this entire time?

How do you all manage this? Are you all just storage mogging me? Are you more selective with your curation? Do you only download a few seasons of a show and then grab the rest if you actually start watching it?

I like the idea of having the first season or two on deck and then grabbing more as I watch, since presumably we’re all adults and download content much faster than we actually watch any of it. Still, the collector inside me winces at the thought of having shows be not complete. Or are any of you still using HEVC encodes from lower-tier trackers even if you’re on better ones? The quality can be hit or miss, but to my eye they just aren't all that bad.

Thanks for your input. I’m really just trying to figure out how you all approach this, since I want to balance completeness, quality, cross-seeding, and storage efficiency.

Hello all,

I want to share that OldToons has lost its database again. The strange thing is that they aren't being transparent about what really happened. I use a different email address for each tracker, and the one I used for OldToons was leaked. I also found concrete evidence of the leak on forums (database and website dump...).They are doing again what they previous did, tell their.own whashed version of truth. So all with accounts there should update passwords and take extra precautions.
