There are lots of cool features PTP has that is unique to PTP. On the front page, you get to have the option of “hiding” certain parts, suck as the Latest Torrents, the Donations box, the Poll, and the Latest News.
The Donations box gives you information about the donations. More information can be seen in the screenshot below.
Another cool feature is the Cover Flow. It’s like Cover Flow in iTunes, except with movie covers. And it scrolls smoothly too. It might take a bit to load if you’re on a slower connection.
And of course, the Collections. There are currently 144 Collections. A good lot of them are collections based on a certain subject, such as Hammer Horror, Banned in the US, Christmas, etc.
The Tickets system is also worthy of a mention. Any bugs you encounter can be filed into a ticket, and a staff member will take a look into it and help you.
Speed: 7/10 - a lot of torrents only have 1 or 2 seeds, and they’re seeded from home connections.
Community: 8/10 - the staff are pretty fast responding, and always try to help users out. The forums are fun to post in too, lots of interesting subjects. Also, there is an opportunity for users to get free bonus points. It is a thread in the forum, and a Torrent Specialist gives them away to users that upload. Browsing through movie pages, you may notice that there are comments that thank the uploader. I think it shows how much the community cares and appreciates about the work the uploader put in to get the movie on PTP.
Content: 9/10 - I have on multiple occasions found what I was looking for for a while here. And, isn’t completing the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die already a phenomenal feat? With over 10,000 torrents that have been uploaded, PTP will be very likely to become the what.cd of movies.
I personally really like this tracker, like I have mentioned before, I have found movies that I have been looking for and couldn’t find anywhere uploaded here. There is always improvements being made, and (my favorite part) stylesheets being updated. The donations box at the front page shows that the staff is honest, and have nothing to hide. Director/producer and actor/actress pages are not ‘blank’, and a good lot of them have information and a picture accompanying it.
All in all, I really think PTP is a great tracker. One thing I think it can improve on is getting more seeders on some torrents that have few seeds to increase download
speeds. But otherwise, I find nothing else wrong about PTP.
