How does PassthePopcorn compare to Karagarga for indie films?
Honestly, if you're a movie fanatic, it's definitely worth getting both since there's always movies on one that's not on the other.
PassThePopcorn great site ..
Yeah that's already been established ..Quote:

If I were to upload films from Kg to PtP would it get snatched? Or are most of the snatched torrents on PtP mainstream? I can get an invite to PtP but I hate spreading myself thin and only try and be on trackers I know I will use
I thought the idea in uploading (specifically ) on movie trackers was to increase the breadth of the content not just whether the torrent is gong to be popular or not?:mellow:Quote:

Films from kg generally get less snatches than on kg itself. Yes, most snatches mainstream, but good old movies are quite popular as wellQuote:

I don't, I only cared about whether or not he made his point clear.Quote:

Connoisseur meaning more often than not, "I like to pretend a lot of pretentious nonsense has some deeper meaning than simply the director is just a bit weird ".Quote:

I hate when they go down without a fight.

You can still download the torrent you are just made aware of the problems. On KG unless someone comments about the quality you have no idea what you are getting and some of these encodes are poor to the point of making them unwatchable (for me at least).Quote:

I do however agree that there are upgrades happening all the time. There is one obscure movie that I enjoy which was never released on DVD, so the only copy was a VHS rip, but for this movie 'The Keep' an early Michael Mann film I was prepared to have any copy. A rip was later released from a satellite TV rip which was far better quality (but sadly only mono sound) but a far better copy and I was glad to get the upgraded rip.
KG is a great resource for arthouse, cult or old movies which are not mainstream, but the ability to warn users about the quality (or lack thereof ) would be appreciated. Once again I reiterate that Demonoid is also an excellent source for these types of movies and the community is far more active in commenting on poor encodes.
You cant find any where the KG torrents
Its wounder full tracker for old movie
PTP is a great tracker for all kind of movies indeed. However, if you are looking for not mainstream movies I agree that KG and Demonoid are the best, specially KG, I have found there movies from Peru and Venezuela which I couldn't find in any spanish tracker.
you do since screenshots are required for every single description.Quote:

For me, it's all about unique content and discovering new gems these days. You can find all the popular movies on any general tracker.
I was wondering,when you said that in your head, did it sound as pretentious as appears here?Quote:
