    So PTN is V2 now. I like it a lot. It looks great and is very customizable from what I've tried. Also the categories' icons look shweet.

    The problem IMO is that the site allows rared movies, which is strange for a movie site IMO. And now the main problem, a large portion of movies are rared there. Which means the ratention is not as good (at least from my POV) as it could have been. Unless you have a lot of really dedicated seedbox users willing to let these movies stay on their boxes for a long, long time...

    Anyway, I got offtopic, do you guys like the new look?

    I'm not a member but I assume since it's a movie tracker pretimes aren't that important. How do they justify the rars? They aren't needed at all for Bittorrent.

    well, a lot of people prefer scene content to be rared. So, we couldn't completely ban packed releases. However, at the same time we have made it abundantly clear that unrar'd releases will be preferred over rar'd..and are encouraging our members to take some time to unpack scene content and then upload 'em.
    Packs by default are unrar'd.

    PtN is still a work in progress.. with a detailed category system like ours, most auto upload scripts struggle with filling in the details required on the upload page. Once our coders get enough time to work on the auto upload script without compromising on filling up requisite details, expect more unrar'd releases.

    We understand how important unpacked releases can be for a relatively small site like ours, and its long term effects in improving torrent retention. We are working on improving things to the best of our abilities.

    //Peace

    So is this just yet another site making some minor changes to TBDev, installing a new 'hip' theme for the header, tables and buttons, adding some ugly javascripts for hovering, and calling it 'v2'?

    Really, really good to hear that. I can understand hat some people prefer packed stuff, but from my experience most of them a ratio whores, who shouldn't have any interest in PTN anyway.

    Hopefully PTN gains in popularity from this. The forums are pretty nice (excluding the last movie seen thread, sorry had to say it) for a tracker.

    I don't like V2...but i can live with it!
    Rared, unrared, i don't care as long as i find what i want!
    Too often, we loose sight of life's simple pleasures.Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother!%$@%# upside the head!

    The download / upload speed isn't it increased if the files are rared ?


    “The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”

    Why?

    I'm assuming you're aware that numerous media players allow you to view films in their rar'd format? The whole "you need double the room to unpack the release" argument was defunct long ago...

    I personally prefer rar'd releases so that if I ever download a corrupted archive I only have 15MB/50MB or whatever else to find elsewhere as opposed to another 700MB/1.4GB (min, not even HD) release elsewhere.
