Anyway, why the bitterness?
I doubt there is anything on most sites that is 'exclusive'.
PTN provides more or less the same, without the hassle of maintaining a solid ratio and having to put up with announcements, begging for donations every week. I'd say thats pretty cool.

@OP: If you're still interested, send me a PM with a couple of links to your most used sites and an email id.

//Peace

Seems to make sense to me.

You compare sites based on the breadth of content, the retention, the speed at which you can download, etc. which are all directly influenced (and perhaps the most influenced by) the size of the tracker.

Sure, there are parts, such as the points you mentioned, that PTN could potentially be better at, but that doesn't make claws' comparison any less valid (in fact, by making statements in defense of PTN, you yourself are "Comparing a ratio free site with 4k members to ones that are ratio based with 25k+ members").

It's not "bitterness". You don't have to have a vendetta against a tracker to speak poorly of it. He simply just stated his opinion on what he thought of the tracker.

I'm not really bitter and the site has done nothing against me, but I consistently see PTN management make bad decisions which result in the site being subpar in just about every quantitative way. Being ratio free is not something to brag about when there is next to no seeded content and the existing content downloads much slower than almost any ratio or ratio-less alternative.

I can't think of any meaningful strengths that PTN has in comparison to other easy-to-get bittorrent sources.

i don't know but i sound some pretty rare movies in a small trackers like cg that i could never found elsewhere and i don't know if users there maybe upload

Right. Point(s) taken.
There was not a lot I could do a while back to change things, for certain reasons. But there have been some changes, which should have a positive effect on the site in the coming months. We are working on a few things, and that should address most of the issues on site.

Thanks again, for the input/critique.

Hopefully some of the things they are working will take away from the needless complexities, instead of adding on another layer..

As surprising as it may seem, I have never been a fan of bells and whistles.
The entire idea of V3 is to simplify the UI, the accompanying complex code, and take it back to its functional and more usable state.
Lets see how it pans out..
