    I'm currently testing 2 strategies with 2 PTP Accounts:

    1. Account 1 only downloads freeleeches for torrents above 40GB + some cross-seeding of very large torrents I found elsewhere. This account doesn't cheat on DL or UL.
    2. Account 2 only downloads freeleeches for torrent below 10GB, (the median torrent has a size of 3GB). This account does cheat on UL.

    I write all data in a spreadsheet to compare them.

    Account 1 costs me little time. PTP often has freeleeches (FL) on huge torrents (>80GB). These are gold mines, I downloaded 1TB with less 15 torrents). But 40GB FL bluray is the bulk of what I download.
    I stopped this strategy after 8 months: the account became a milk cow and is fully "autonomous".
    I now collect 800K of points per month, that's 300 GB per month.
    Incidentally, while writing this, I realized that, over 2 months, my points increased by 150K a month, obviously due to people deleting their FL torrents after their UL potential was exhausted.
    Since I started to use VEM in June, I can now also delete data (my strategy required a lot of HDD) and cheat with the "show as seed" option. I now earn 800K with little HDD data)
    If a torrent has less than 5 seeders, I prefer to delete it (sorry points), If someone downloads such torrent, I wouldn't have any data to UL and that could raise suspicions.

    Account 2 costs me a lot of time, all the time, (I manually pick freeleeches 2/3 times a day).
    The first 5 weeks, I averaged 80GB of real UL per week plus an additional of 30-50% of fake UL. I decided that was too much. I now fake 10-20% of the real UL.
    In terms of bonus points, this strategy is totally useless. I delete the torrents after mandatory seedtime is complete.

    I may be a bit soon to jump to conclusion (the strategy on account 2 is still a bit young), but at this point:

    Account 2 is clearly the winner in terms of GB earned. But It takes way too much time. It's not sustainable in the long term. But on occasion, if you need extra GBs, it will work.

    But because I'm lazy, I stick to account 1.


    Note: Both accounts were managed from dedicated laptops connected to 2 dedicated 1000/1000 MBits fiber connection.
    account 1 uses a laptop with a couple of 3 TB USB HDDs.
    account 2 uses a laptop with one 160 GB SSD only.

    A last comment regarding uploading your own torrents:
    A year ago, I uploaded 1 bluray, (32GB) and its remux (28GB).
    the bluray was picked 2 times; the remux, none.

    here are the rewards after a year:
    bluray: 50GB of UL + 172GB of seeding points = 222 GB (and still 14 GB per month)
    remux: 0GB of UL + 268GB of seeding points = 268 GB (and still 22 GB per month)

    Not bad for a torrent that nobody wants!

    PTP is 9 years old.

    The Birth of a Popcorn (9 Years)
    Happy Birthday! (We're raising the user limit!) Since our last birthday, we have seen many significant changes in both PTP and the tracker community as a whole. Last year, the mammoth that was What.CD went down. Some sites are still vying to replace them as the Beyoncé of music trackers, few are likely to ever come close to its importance. Our brothers and sisters at TehConnection also took a tumble, and though at this point their recovery looks uncertain, we wish them all the best. Big changes have also taken place here at home, in particular on our staff team. Some of our most respected and long-reigning staffers have stepped down throughout the year.
    But PTP is strong as ever! And today we aim to become even stronger as we raise our user limit to 40,000! For the past several years PTP has had a very restrictive invite policy, primarily for security reasons. However, in the interest of creating a thriving community we've decided to relax that policy for now, and see how we fare. So hurry up and get your invites out now (but brush up on our invite rules first though!)

    I can't believe it's been so long since 2008... I think I had an account here when they were still called SceneMovies, and also on TehConnection, when ScT staff were associated with it and before they switched to Gazelle...

    Anyway, good news for those who were looking to join!

    This is one of the few trackers it aint really worth it to cheat. If you have an account there, its pretty much the route to most good trackers. Not to mention the best when it comes to movies. Seeding big torrents with 1-2 torrents and around 1tb (or even more) can easily net you lots of buffer monthly. With the limit being raised, seeder numbers have seriously spiked.

    May I ask what were you trying to accomplish by faking upload on PTP, being ratioless? Just curious, and would you share what method you used, so we all can learn from it? Besides speed, which was too much. Cheers

    PTP is ratioless?

    Tons of freeleech and seeding points are quite generous too. For example, the GoldenPoporn version (Hifi) of Dunkirk gave me dozens of gb of upload ( could have been more if i had jumped faster or had faster connection). But you get the figures. And this is just a ~15gb torrent.

    Cheating there is futile. Their scripts are probably the best on any tracker atm

    Yes, I did it during my initial days at PTP using Ratio Master. It is safe as long as you are careful and use Memory Reader.

    It's risky. I wouldn't do it. It should be easy to get some pts by cross seeding what you have.

    Thanks for the input. Been doing it with mRatio and just a couple of torrents, selected with common sense on which peers/size/ etc. Cheers

    Isn't the whole cheating thing risky? The idea is to still take risks but smartly.

    I dont have anything to seed or cross seed, plus I dont do it. You know that man.

    Thanks for the heads up tho.

    Since ghostleeching highly avoids contact with the tracker by definition, there isn't really a difference in detectability. Just pick something that is not on their client blacklist (or doesn't emulate something that is).
