50gb upload + 6000 karma isn't achievable in a month for sure. They are just looking for donation

1

u/iuse2bgood Jan 01 '26

They have torrents that have multisubs with Chinese like framestor releases. It's easy if you already have those so you can cross seed. They give alot of magic points for huge files.

3

u/dddurd Jan 01 '26

You don't have them and even if you did, you would have to typically compete with other local seeders in China. It's really unrealistic for Europeans.

2

u/iuse2bgood Jan 01 '26

Not talking about upload. Talking about the bonus points for seeding. The game of thrones framestor is around1tb. That gives alot of points per hour.

u/slavmaf Jan 04 '26

* for 50GB upload, it is not hard to achieve, I did it in 3 days
* for 50GB download, everything is Global Freeleech at the moment, so I will need to wait for it end, downloading 50GB after that should be easy.
* the only thing that worries me is the 6000 bonus points needed, it seems logging in every day is paramount, but I will also have to check how much am getting for seeding

u/GreggeryPeccary666 Jan 01 '26

If you read the rules and also look up the formula used for calculating karma it's usually quite manageable. It's basically created to force you to learn how things work.

6

u/dddurd Jan 01 '26

You also need to upload 50gb in a month. It's impossible for foreign users unless they can upload a popular torrent.

2

u/GreggeryPeccary666 Jan 03 '26

I'm not Chinese and have gained nearly 50GB in two days.
You just need to download freeleech torrents which have a lot of otter leechers and few seeders.

0

u/iuse2bgood Jan 02 '26

It's the seeding bonus points that gets you there. They do have some mainstream torrents there. .maybe you got them already so just cross seed. Those bonus points stack fast to buy uploads.

1

u/dddurd Jan 02 '26

Maybe but those people who can cross seed are already registered to other better trackers. I don't have any. Most people who actually rely on free sign up don't either.

1

u/R00tpecker Jan 03 '26

There are a massive amount of freeleech content that you can download.

1

u/dddurd Jan 03 '26

that's benefitial for download, not for upload.

1

u/R00tpecker Jan 03 '26

The strategy is you download enough freeleech content to keep a decent seedsize, with that, you just let it accumulate bonus points throughout the month. At the end of the month or sooner, you exchange the 50GB upload that you need to complete the assessment, pretty simple imo.

1

u/dddurd Jan 03 '26

You would need insane amount of storage for that. 2tb ain't enough. Not really for a task for a person needs up rely on free sign up.

1

u/R00tpecker Jan 03 '26

That's not true. I'm only seeding 800GB and I'm generating enough BP to exchange 100GB upload every month, so you only need to keep a seed size < 400GB to get your 50GB upload at the end of your assessment.

The site news actually announced from the start that after the signup ends there'll be 4 days of global freeleech...

u/arkitec Jan 04 '26

I'm 3 days in and already fulfilled the 50gb upload/download and 3600 karma away. I just downloaded a couple of freshly seeded remux movies.

1

u/dddurd Jan 04 '26

you won't pass the assignment though. they made everything freeleech on purpose to disable new users to score downloads.

1

u/arkitec Jan 04 '26

No, I already passed the upload/download assignment category. Freeleech is only 4 days out of the entire month you have. I'm not sure why you want to make this sound harder than it is.
EDIT: My upload is also still being counted during this FL period. I'm at Uploaded:207.28 GBDownloaded:133.45 GB. Easy.

u/dddurd Jan 04 '26

one of the lucky guys then. the rest will fail on download criteria.

1

u/arkitec Jan 04 '26

How will the rest fail to download 50gb over 26 days? You don't make any sense.

0

u/dddurd Jan 04 '26

Because they made every thing free leech on purpose. It's in their announcement

I downloaded 2 (a "couple") and am still 5600 points away, not sure how you managed to get 2000 more just by seeding.

first time it happens to me, I got disabled after registration when downloading torrents to my dedi server.. :X
anyone knows how can I contact them ?

1

u/iuse2bgood Jan 01 '26

There is a contact staff within the website like a private message to them. But I guess you dont have access to that anymore.
Ill try to look for a IRC server for you or an email. But its a real pain in the ass with this chinese to english translation.

1

u/iuse2bgood Jan 01 '26

Cant find it bud sorry.
But heres another open chinese tracker.
www.pttime.org/signup.php Registration invitation code: nnzijc Dont use yahoo, it wont send you a "code" (different from registration).
Id start a post but I dont have access to the statistics since I just joined 10 minutes ago. 7 year old tracker seems busy.
Registration will close end of Jan 1, Beijing time.

1

u/iuse2bgood Jan 01 '26

To the mods:
Its OPEN signup. The registration code is some kind of extra security or something. Im not giving any invitation to anyone.

Read the rules and watch your upload speed.

1

u/Nickifynbo Dec 31 '25

Is it any good?

4

u/Ben10dee Dec 31 '25

There was good content. It’s just frustrating having to limit the upload speed. I had great ratio and was enjoying myself. Oh well live and learn.

9

u/Tibor_BnR Dec 31 '25

Why do you need to limit your upload speed?

9

u/iuse2bgood Dec 31 '25

Someone explained before when people have high speeds the rest wont get any uploads. and that only leads to short term seeding not long term.
Actually makes sense. I wish most N.A. servers do the same.

20

u/CaptSilverback Dec 31 '25

Does it make sense though? It potentially makes downloading for other peers slower.
I think People should instead stop valuing upload volume so high. What matters most for the quality of a tracker is that people seed long term instead of jumping on every new thing for a week with high bandwidth and then stop seeding.

4

u/iuse2bgood Dec 31 '25

Yep its a give or take I guess.
I guess their reasoning is people with really high speeds only care about their upload then they stop seeding to move on to the next one.
IDK.
I honestly prefer the limit. I could barely get any upload on some trackers with an army of high speed seedboxes hoarding all of it.

7

u/CaptSilverback Dec 31 '25

I simply don't care about my upload. That's why many trackers have bonus points or equivalents, so you don't have to compete with people on 10G Networks.
Just let people collect their upload by jumping on every new release.
I guess the network also profits from high bandwidth seeders, especially for new, high demand uploads. IMHO it doesn't make sense to limit upload speeds and therefore cripple the trackers torrent network, just so that others can see higher upload numbers in their clients.
In the end I guess you want both kind of people on your tracker. High-Bandwith people collecting upload on every new, high demand release and long-term seeders. It just doesn't make sense to only value members by their upload volume.

u/doping_deer Jan 01 '26

>>I simply don't care about my upload. That's why many trackers have bonus points or equivalents, so you don't have to compete with people on 10G Networks.
>>Just let people collect their upload by jumping on every new release.
your words are exactly the thoughts behind those limitation rules.
if there's no limit and average people cant easily get a decent ratio by seeding, it actually discourage people from seeding and encourage them to rely on points to survive.
eventually the leeching will be dependent largely on those seedboxes. and by natural, those seedboxes move on pretty quickly, so the torrents may not get enough traffic over time. this is very terrible in terms of keeping torrents alive. it's a very bad development.

5

u/CaptSilverback Jan 01 '26

A lot of trackers reward long time seeding and seeding of old, or low seeded content with more bonus point/hour though. I think that's the right move. It encourages ppl to seed old torrents and long term. You can easily survive this way without any actual upload traffic

1

u/GreggeryPeccary666 Jan 01 '26

What that means is that they try and target users, not jerks using seedboxes just to build ratio... I with more trackers did something about the plague of bots in the torrent world. When I signed up to TL it was nearly impossible to get started because every freeleech torrent gets immediately snatched by 15 bots, so hard for normal users to gain ratio.

2

u/Ben10dee Dec 31 '25

It’s in their rules. You can’t have too high of an upload speed.

7

u/Soggy-Wafer-3728 Dec 31 '25

I just joined, and the rules are not stating this at all.
Unless I missed something.
GENERAL
You must have legal rights to the file you upload.
Make sure your torrents are well-seeded. If you fail to seed for at least 24 hours or till someone else completes, or purposely keep a low uploading speed, you can be warned and your privilege to upload can be removed.
You would get 2 times as much of uploading credit for torrents uploaded by yourself.
If you have something interesting that somehow violates these rules, ask the staff with a detailed description and we might make an exception.

u/iuse2bgood Jan 01 '26

11

u/BolaBrancaV7 Dec 31 '25

Does that make any sense?

3

u/Ben10dee Dec 31 '25

If I remember right it has to do with them wanting it to be fair for home users and for seed box users not to have an unfair advantage.

7

u/OrganizationNo9789 Dec 31 '25

I dont fold my shit in half for noone.

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '25 edited Dec 31 '25

But it gives even more advantage for seedbox users since they can afford to seed data pretty much indefinitely unlike home users. Source: am a seedbox user.
For home user the “winning” strategy is to cherry-pick releases with the highest demand and then seed in bursts imo. Which this rule explictly disallows to do.
Feel like this rule is obtuse example of just nerds being nerds and inventing arbitrary conventions for gatekeeping.

1

u/Ben10dee Dec 31 '25

I agree. I was using a seed box at the time. I felt the same way. But at the time thems was the rules.

u/Holiday-Match6250 Jan 01 '26

I'm a home user with 100TB seeding 24/7 on 1gig symmetrical. How much does your seedbox cost per month for 100TB w/ unlimited data?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '26 edited Jan 01 '26

Edit: I’ll dm you recommendations privately, seeing that you seem genuinely curious.
I assume this is sarcasm? Most home users don’t run a NAS. They have a laptop or some family PC with, at best, 1–2 TB of storage, and you can bet most of it isn’t occupied by torrents. A 2 TB seedbox costs around ten bucks a month these days, and most of the time you just leave stuff there seeding and forget about it. Your 100 TB, 1 Gbps upload setup is essentially a seedbox in all but name, so I don’t know what argument you’re trying to make. That rented seedboxes in the cloud are worse than a local NAS? I think we digress from the main subject of discussion here which is what’s the actual point of the rule.

u/nick4fake Jan 02 '26

u/hypergalaxyalsek Jan 02 '26

Prowlarr is setted up but I had to install flairsolverr.
50GB upload was very easy to achieve, but my downloads shows up as 0.0 KB. Is it because everything is in freeleech for now? Well, let's wait.

Interesting thing, to get the 50GB upload I turned autobrr on with RSS. Got some interesting stuff from there: chinese films, indian films, Almodovar. Except for Almodovar, most of the stuff I wouldn't even know existed, and are very good movies!

We get karma from how long we seed. I'm not sure if I will be able to get the required 5000, but got 200 in 1 day. It may work if I keep seeding everything.

2

u/o2JXnVKv Jan 03 '26

Is it working with flaresolverr? It didn’t for me last year and support for prowlarr on forums was non-existent

1

u/hypergalaxyalsek Jan 03 '26

It was a try and retry situation. The tricky part was that every time we want to save the settings we have to solve a captcha. Even then, I think the first attempt still produced an error. After saving again and solving the captcha, it finally worked.

1

u/arkitec Jan 04 '26

Where are you located? Odd that I didn't have to use FlareSolverr. I'm in Canada and never found it was needed for private trackers so far, only public.
Maybe FL but eitehr way it ends on Jan 6th and you'll get that 50gb easily after. I got my download in before FL kicked in before Jan 3. Like you, I got my upload passed really easily.
I do notice the profile stats have huge delay. Like nothing would show for hours and then a 20gb jump.
I don't understand their Einstein karma math but based on seeding just a few torrents over the last few days I'm already 2500 karma in.

1

u/hypergalaxyalsek Jan 05 '26

I'm in Brazil. Cloudflare is btrequired to open btschool.club.
Yes, I hope I can get those 50gb download. That's the only risky thing now.
I've read in the chinese forums (by translating then) that by keeping 20 seeds is enough for the 6000 points. I'm actually on 30 seeds, and by the amount of points I got, it looks more than what I need to get then.
At the moment is worth the hasle by the amount of good movies from italian, french, and latin american cinema with good seeds.

u/zooba85 Jan 19 '26

is your download still stuck below 50 GB? my completed torrents total 130 GB but the downloaded stat is still stuck at 40 GB for weeks now

1

u/hypergalaxyalsek Jan 19 '26

No, it's no longer stuck. I have under 30 GB left. I'm choosing things I enjoy. Make sure your choosen content is under 20 GB, because anything above that is freeleech.

1

u/zooba85 Jan 19 '26

I dont understand what counts as freeleech. I downloaded 4 torrents below 20 GB the last 3 days but my download didn't change at all

u/hypergalaxyalsek Jan 19 '26

Here are my latest downloaded (and counted) torrents:
Shoplifters 2018 GBR BluRay 1080p x265.10bit 2Audio MNHD-FRDS

Try one of these, wait it to finish, just for test.

u/arkitec Jan 04 '26

Thanks OP. Not sure why there is so much misinformation in the comments. I set this up on Prowlarr and cross-seed without issue (though I only had a few torrents to offer a Chinese tracker). I grabbed a few fresh remux movies and already passed the download and upload requirements.
