35 minutes until Happy Hours on Pedro's starts.

Do you have you bookmarks set? :smilie4:

[ceasar]

Ehhh, what you mean, again?
It was yesterday, I was able to snatch at least 35+ torrents :)

Wish they would have waited until TT free leech ended. I need all the buffer there I can get, since the ISPs here offer crappy speed. Both down and up :(

I've been waiting for this all day. :sadwalk:

Don't I feel like a horse's ass.

[ceasar]

Shit happens, man.
Anyway it was too late today, it ended at 7 p.m. CT yesterday I believe..
I still have like 22 on my booksmark - was taking too many old torrents with 1-3 seeders :(

bryter.gifHappy Hoursbryter.gif are a new feature!

During bryter.gifHappy Hoursbryter.gif, downloaded data will not be counted, but uploaded data will be. special09.gif Torrents will appear green when browsed.

I will generally give at least 24 hours warning, and I will announce the start in the ShoutBox. They will not always be held at the same time to give everyone a chance, but people in Europe can expect to have an advantage for obvious reasons.

The tracker and your clients will be caching and reporting data transfers with delays, and that will effectively shorten the free time. Stop your downloads at least 5 minutes before the end to ensure that your client reports before the end of the free period and that your account is updated from the tracker's cache.

Do not download more torrents at once than is permitted. If you do, you will be banned!

Ordinary users are allowed to download 4 torrents at once, Power Users (donors) may download 6, Uploaders may download 8. There is a guide to applying for Uploader status at http://forum.btmusic.org/index.php?showtopic=2052.

Remember that you can only download data that another member is uploading. In your zeal to download, do not miss your opportunity to upload to improve your share ratio and do not forget to appreciate the other uploaders.

what tracker site does this free uploading count towards?

[Skiz]

Pedro's, obviously. :ermm:

[Wilton331]

is it a private tracker? i never really hear pedro's being discussed in the forums

[Skiz]

Pedro's is indeed a private tracker. More often you'll hear it refered to as "btmusic", tho the proper name for it is "Pedro's Bittorrent Music Tracker".

It specializes in lossless quality music, mostly FLAC.

How often do they do it?
Well, I checked Pedro's forum thread where they give shoutouts about Happy Hours and found that the biggest one before that was like 4 hours, and it's regular size once in 7-10 days, but not that often - less than 10 times since last year...

[Bonzo]

We had 24 Happy Hours to celebrate 10,000 torrents. However, it's normally 4 hours every few weeks.
