PTP is so much better for archive movies I'm not really sure but does HDBits even has fast seeders on old torrents ?

I'm not a member of the site so don't take this as gospel, but my guess would be no.

Two things help retention: A specialized tracker where people are actually interested in the content, and active users.

I'm guessing since HDBits' users are more interested in the high definition part of the content, there would be less members who are really into TV shows/Movies and would download the less mainstream/older stuff. Thus retention would suffer compared to finding the equivalent on BTN/PTP.

And since HDBits has been closed for god knows how long the amount of active users is probably declining as well, which also would cause retention to suffer.

I can't see HDbits having more seeders on HD Content than PTP and on top of it PTP gets encodes from other trackers as well i.e AwesomeHD and only the best encode from several encodes gets the Golden Popcorn which is essentially freelech
