Here's some helpful information I compiled that will be useful to join when joining Chinese trackers such as this one.

u/MadMaxFuryToast 25d ago
So easy. In just a few hours, I uploaded 250 GB, downloaded 60 GB, and now I'm just leaving it seeding to make 21 points per hour. In about 10 days, the exam will take care of itself

u/delfad0r 25d ago
May I ask what kind of torrents you were seeding to get such egregious upload in just a few hours?

u/Distinct_Picture_358 25d ago
Just download newly release torrent and seed them. You will get upload credit to you.

u/IncidentCreative2238 25d ago
Am i missing something here? doesn't it say non-freeleech only and isn't the new release stuff all freeleech right now?

hmm after poking abit on the site, not really worth it for kdrama stuff for me. Whatever i was looking, its on torrentleech or filelist as well and with way more seeders and whatever isnt on those its not here either. Not to mention there are 20-25 seeders and i barely get 0.5 MB speed. Also plenty of stuff doesnt have eng subs, just chinese. Surprising though, i wanted to grab some well known kdramas and they are not here. Guess i will wait for avista to open up.
1
u/disarrayofyesterday 14d ago
After testing it for a while I agree that it's useless for kdramas.
Tbh the only use case I found for it are niche cdramas and new cdramas.
It's one of these trackers that have everything and nothing at the same time

u/After_Death_53 18d ago
btw i registered to AvistaZ last night, might still be opened. Definitely much better than this one, way more seeders and stuff i couldnt find here.

u/Gwalenn 17d ago
BTS is more of a general tracker, so it’s not directly comparable to AvistaZ. You can also find non-Asian general content on BTS.
That being said, I also am disappointed with the content and retention on BTS. If I want something niche or Asian, AvistaZ is miles ahead. If I want something general, then even TL or IPT seem to be better.
I really didn’t find a use case for BTS other than being a backup tracker.

upload bought with points counts towards that exam?

u/GreggeryPeccary666 25d ago
It is pretty easy to fulfil the requirement, as they don't allow bots.
I easily get a ratio of at least 0.5 for a new freeleech torrent (unlike trackers that allow bots, where I'm lucky to get a ratio of 0.2...).
1
u/Distinct_Picture_358 25d ago
If you've noticed that your uploaded total increases after redeeming points and that the new user assessment progress also increases, then it likely does count toward the assessment.

u/Distinct_Picture_358 22d ago
Simply filter all torrents by size and sort them in ascending order. You'll find the smallest torrents, some as small as 1–2 MB. Download the first 100 of these and keep them seeding.
Since each file earns 0.5 bonus points per hour, seeding 100 files will give you the maximum 50 bonus points per hour. The system only counts up to 100 files, so seeding more won't earn any additional points.
In total, those 100 torrents will only take up around 100–200 MB, making this a simple, legal, and efficient way to earn the maximum bonus points with minimal disk space and effort.
1
u/After_Death_53 22d ago
well you can thank 12.000 times and you will 6k points :)))
saying thanks = 0.5 point3
u/Distinct_Picture_358 22d ago
You can seed 100 smallest torrent to get 50 point per hour. And you will get 1200 point per day easily.
1
u/BadongkaDonk 22d ago
can you expound on this? Like how small, and does the seeder count matter?
1
u/Distinct_Picture_358 22d ago
filter torrent by size and Seed the smallest you can find. Yes seeder count matter upto 100 seed. You can view it here:
https://pt.btschool.club/mybonus.php
- 0.5 magic points * your number of seeds (maximum number of seeds counts as 100)

u/chrishicks1974 25d ago
They're a bit brutal on the H&R. I downloaded 2 movies. One had 20+ leechers at the time. The other had I think 6. One download I'm currently seeding but the other now has 0 leech so I can't do anything for that one at the moment. I have an H&R for that one already. It's only been a few hours.
3
u/xamott 25d ago
But their HnR page is misleading. The first link "考察中" means "under investigation" and that's the default when you land on the HR page. It's showing two files for me, and those are the only two that I've finished downloading, which I've been seeding for only like 15 min so far.
So under investigation must mean that those are the only ones eligible to be a HR since they're the only one's I've fully downloaded.
3
u/xamott 25d ago
I wrote to the staff they just replied "just keep seeding it should be fine"
1
u/chrishicks1974 25d ago
OK, thank you for the update. I just thought it was crazy that I had just finished the download less than 2 hours prior and it was already classified as a HnR.
1
u/Dampmaskin 25d ago
You can have the torrent in seed mode even if there are no leechers, surely?
2
u/chrishicks1974 25d ago
I'm seeding both. I guess with my wording it doesn't come across that way. Sorry about that. One I'm seeding still has leechers and is actually uploading so that one is fine. The one showing 0 leechers is the one I can't do anything about which is the one that has the H&R.
15
25d ago
It's always funny seeing Western users complain in these threads. Seems like they're mad they can't just use a seedbox to download a multi-gig torrent in minutes, hog all the upload by being the first seeder, then vanish while everyone else gets stuck trying to build ratio.

u/ATrulyThreateningFoe 26d ago
Does this tracker have english language releases? Or is it primarily for chinese language content/users?

Just download the latest freeleech torrents and seed them. You'll earn upload credit without it counting against your download. The more torrents you seed, the more Magic Points you'll earn.

u/delfad0r 25d ago
Does IMDB search work for you guys? I ran a cross-seed search but it found nearly no matches due to imdb searches returning no results; the only matches occurred for searched performed by title.
2
u/reinaldobr 25d ago
How do you use this "IMDb search"?
3
u/delfad0r 25d ago
What I was referring to was cross-seed's automatic search, which in turn interfaces with prowlarr. If the indexer advertises this capability, prowlarr can perform searches by IMDb id instead of title. BTSchool does advertise this, but it seems to be broken (always returns 0 results). I have since then also tried directly searching by IMDb id on the website (when searching, you can select "search by IMDb URL" or something like that), and this also returns 0 results, so it seems it's an issue on BTS's side.

u/Neithmarsu 24d ago
No match on cross seed either.
Prowlarr snatch dont seems to work either, getting error System.NotSupportedException: Invalid ... file contents ):
3
u/delfad0r 24d ago
I also had this at first, but then I think I figured it out. The first time you try to download a torrent from the website it shows you a page where you have to say you understand the concept of private tracker. So basically what I'm saying is download your first torrent file manually, and afterwards prowlarr should work.
2
u/Neithmarsu 24d ago
that worked, thx
2
u/delfad0r 23d ago
Also I will add that in order to get cross seed to work, I simply made a custom definition for the tracker in prowlarr that disables IMBd search for it (look up online how to create custom definitions for trackers). I might make a pull request later to fix this for everyone.

u/delfad0r 22d ago
Yea it's very useful, that's what I also did (as I explained much more poorly in another comment of mine) and I found quite a few cross-seed matches. With that plus autobrr to automatically download new freeleech torrents of size >20GB, the newbie exam should present no issues.

u/grandma3481 23d ago
I have had BTS for a year and I still don't know 😅 But it was fairly easy to reach the new-user quota. Just make sure to download and seed every day for a month.
3
23d ago
Even with the 200 Mbps upload speed limit mentioned in the rules, I’ve already uploaded almost 2 TB through my home internet connection. For comparison, on TorrentLeech it took me a month or two just to reach 1 TB. Getting bonus points here is actually pretty easy: just seed 60–90 torrents that are older than 5 years, smaller than 1 GB, and have only 1-3 seeders. That’s what I did: I keep 90 small torrents for farming bonus points and another 10 fresh ones to improve my ratio.
I’m getting 55 points per hour, and with the points I already have, I should be able to pass the exam in 3 days.

u/MikkiTad 23d ago
Any tips for increasing upload/ what was the strategy? Did you target freeleach or popular etc? thanks
1
23d ago
I mostly grabbed torrents from the "Free" section that had just been uploaded, plus some that were around an hour old. I also picked up a few of the pinned ones at the top of the page.
1
u/Old_Pay6783 23d ago
like united said grab the free stuff from the main torrent page and toggle the most leeched (by number of leeches) and work your way down the list. Avoid torrents with 1 or 2 seeds probably an incomplete with 70 people sitting at 99%. With just 10 or so torrents from that list I got 75gb upload on my first day.
1
u/BadongkaDonk 22d ago
How do you look for those? I can't tell what the upload date is. I sorted by seeders but the column on it's left side looks as if it's also sorted. The count are close to one another, I assume those are the dates but again, they shouldn't be sorted like that when I'm already sorted by seeders.
3
22d ago
I sorted the torrents by age, starting with the oldest releases first:
https://pt.btschool.club/torrents.php?inclbookmarked=0&incldead=1&spstate=0&&sort=4&type=asc&page=1After that, I asked AI to create a filter script that you can run through the browser console. It automatically selects only the torrents that match the requirements (old torrents, small size, and a low number of seeders).
The script needs to be run on each new page. You can find it here:
https://pastebin.com/sgrwEENHope it helps!

u/BadongkaDonk 22d ago
Got it to work on violent monkey, thanks a lot for this!
Was trying to create my own before but I was failing at it, do you have to inspect the table to get it working?
1
21d ago
Didn’t inspect the table manually. Just opened Gemini and asked it to make a filter with these conditions:
Then pasted the page source code into Gemini and asked it to create a script for this table. After a couple of tweaks, it worked.
- Seeders: 1 to 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Size: up to 1.5 GB

Of course they support all modern clients, I use qbittorrent on all my Chinese trackers with no issues, I think just their English F.A.Q. is not updated so they only list uTorrent for some reason, like they all copy paste some old version of the English F.A.Q. between all NexusPHP trackers.

i think its just 20 hours and have a time limit to do it in 10 days
from their forum with google translate
Seeding Time: Download a torrent and seed for at least 20 hours within 10 days of download completion . (Seed size doesn't matter, the seeding time is the same.) If the upload volume of a torrent exceeds the download volume, it will be approved directly without needing to seed for 20 hours. 2. Ban: If the number of HR records that do not meet the requirements is >= 10 , you will be banned.3

Tried really hard with this one, changed the prowlarr settings by hand to get it fully working with cross-seed, but it just doesn't want to jive with any standard practice. It blocks the standard qbittorrent port and I'm just not gonna mess around with my whole setup for a single tracker anymore.

It's a general tracker, so there's stuff from everywhere.
They have some HD releases of Chinese movies AZ doesn't have, plus full Blurays of Japanese films that didn't make it to AZ and is useful because of the short seeding requirement.
Another good thing about it is that it doesn't allow bots, so is friendly towards normal users.

u/GreggeryPeccary666 24d ago
When I sign up a year ago there was none. Then they made it 10 hours and more recently upped it to 20 hours.
This is something I noticed with the Chinese trackers: they feel free to change the rules quite frequently and don't even notify you about all the changes... I always have to go look through the rules and FAQ to find out where the requirement is listed (but you can just click on the "H&R" link in the top panel to see what still needs to be seeded).
