And who the hell would need 100 mb flacs? Go figure... i'd call this tracker business. No one really uses what downloads.

Well Flacs are 1/1 from a source of good quality. TS can only be as good as the camera that they used to cap the movie, which I doubt was anywhere close to 1080p...

I know plenty of people who like FLAC for various reasons. If you don't need it, that's fine, but don't judge others.

It's completely different from a "1080p" rip from a handheld camera. That'd be like making an SACD of a handheld tape recording from a concert.

As for using what they download, I use what I download... otherwise, what the hell is the point? Download shit you don't even like to watch the little numbers on your profile go up? That's just sad.

You'd be surprised to know how many people do that. Some of them actually need the numbers to go up if they want to keep their account, though.

I only heard of one tracker disabling for not enough traffic/month, and that was HDBits, and I've not dl'd or up'd much in a few months (maybe a few hundred megs if that), so even that is not true for there. What trackers are you referring to anon-sbi?

I judge whoever I want, whenever I want my friend. I said flacs just to say something, it was not important the thing itself but the meaning instead (and as I see you have not understood).

Just as above. I didn't mean to enter the details, as I was explaining the idea.

Wow, in which world do you live buddy? There are plenty of people who keeps trackers just to be "cool", if you didn't notice anywhere. Plenty of people buy seedboxes to just boost their ratio, whithout really using nothing of their downloaded movies, music or whatever.

I was talking about people that download things they don't need (often freeleech packs) just to maybe manage to seed them back and buffer up before they can actually enjoy the tracker.

There is nothing wrong with downloading FL packs just to seed them back and build some ratio. How else will you be able to get what you really want from the tracker if you have no upload credit? Ofcourse this just something to help you to start like get over the waiting times, or get sth big or rare that no one else downloads anymore.
