PTN is going bling bling!!??

The v2 design is good looking..
But looks like they have copied something from the unreleased SCTDev codee. ;-)

I'll have to disagree on that.

Err... what? The two sites look nothing alike. (Nor behave the same either, even with ScT++ and Feeling+)

Back onto the multi-rar thing, even though its seemed to have hijacked this a bit. I am like burnsy, but I think that is years of using usenet, and just getting used to rars on there.

But there is another reason, the torrent itself can be corrupt, and if the uploader does not hash check it before seeding, it will say he has 100%, when in reality he has 98%, so the leechers will never be able to finish it (and the download will be corrupt). That has happened to me on a couple of occasions when i have been in a rush, and i have seen it on numerous occasions on BCG, so before you upload the torrent you should hash check it just to be sure.

but pretty sure if that happened on a multi-rar torrent or a 1 file torrent you could still resume it if another torrent was made. (never tried it with a 1 file torrent though)

This is the reason we now allow non multi-rar uploads, I still believe that mew scene releases should be packed as they come (multi rared), but for old scene releases/user own uploads they dont have to be.

But saying that, on some games (I know movies dont) raring can shave off a lot of space, I done breakout PS1 years ago, 650meg CD, rared down to 8 meg on best, so at the time, it was 20 minutes uploading compared to 20 hours, so if i am uploading something these days (which does not happen a lot) i will rar just to see if the size difference is worth it.

will let you get back on topic now.

Of course it happens. That's why I prefer unrared content. No rars, no corrupted rars. You said that you prefer rars because it makes it easier to replace corrupted rars. That doesn't make any sense at all. You prefer a method to replace an error when the method itself is the reason for the error.

The .avi file can still be corrupted/damaged, even when the release is rar'ed. Not very often, but it happens.

It will def take some time to get used to the new look, however, I think it looks great. You can tell the coders spent some dedicated time on the design with how detailed it is. I love all the different theme options too.

As for rars.. I'm a rar boy. I guess there is no real convincing argument as of why. However, I will give you a couple reasons to me why I like em. One of my hobbies is collecting and archiving certain music, or movie, or tv, or appz collection throughout the years. I am very proud of all the things I have managed to accumulate over the years. lol. Anyhow, 90% of my archive is rar'd scene releases, and I guess I am OCD where I like my collection to be all the same. Also, I was in the scene for years, and it's how I was taught and just sticks with yah over the years. I remember back in the day when they were 1.44MB files, and we were moving them on BBS's across the world. lol, I feel old Also, I had a HD have issues once with bad sectors and eventually had to have a HD funeral for it.. It was starting to perform the 'click of death' more often every day, so I started a salvage operation. I had a lot of movies on there, and some of the 700mb avi files were not rar'd; If any of that file was on the bad sectors on my HD I couldn't salvage the whole thing. However, when I had movies in rars, I found that only certain rars were on the bad sectors, and I could salvage part of it, then went and hunted down the missing rars and replaced them. It didn't take long for me to find them.

We are glad that you appreciate it!

It honoustly was just a question. But I guess you accidentally sort of answered it now?

Sorry, English no good. Me try understand best next time... Now that i read it back it does sound like a question, so it was either my tired eyes or the fact that the question was phrased negatively.

To the point, we did install a few new 'hip' themes, but PtN always had great designs, at least in my opinion. We did add some (ugly?) javascripts for hovering and a bunch more.

I personally want to believe that its more than just that, but you should view the other, hopefully more objective, comments and judge by that. I guess that some users will like it and some won't, but i think that it is definitely a change.
