    Need new Antivirus

    I'm using Webroot SecureAnywhere. They try to upsell different versions, but you don't really need anything other than the basic Antivirus. Also note that old codes from ebay for the 2011 edition or whatnot are honored with the newest edition. So it can be had for ten bucks a year or so...

    Without any sort of a bonus point system... on a normal home connection, it usually comes down to seeding what you've snatched for ridiculously long periods of time--and seeing very gradual gains over time. This usually requires a ton of extra storage to do effectively. A much easier solution is...

    Me either. I know the message said it was being DDoS'd, but I've very rarely seen any change in the website or tracker responsiveness on my end. Maybe it just has to do with peak usage times. I'm in a foreign country, so I log in at weird times.

    I've got a OPO invite as well if someone wants it. Got tired of waiting. Bought a different phone.

    About the only reliable way into PTP these days is through the BTN and What.cd Recruitment Threads in their forums. Existing PTP members essentially can't send their invites except on very rare occasions--usually a yearly event that's open for a couple days.

    There's been a lot of drama between IPT and BTN/PTP staff. Basically BTN/PTP has unofficially accused the owner of IPT of just that much--that he's playing the numbers purely for profit. Owner of IPT was doxxed. Consequently, he's been DDoS'ing the two websites relentlessly and telling everyone...

    To be fair, the Beats Solo 2's are getting good reviews--even by audiophiles. They're not open though. Other "classic" open headphones: ATH-AD900, AKGK701.

    I tried to order a 1+1. Servers all crashed in the beginning. Then paypal flagged it as a dangerous charge. After spending most of that time on the phone with paypal, they couldn't even tell me why it wasn't being processed. I wasn't able to actually order. If anyone who ordered a phone has...

    So it's time to replace my Galaxy Nexus. I don't want anything too huge. I've been eyeballing the Sony Xperia X3 Compact. Has anyone had any experiences with this phone?

    Waffles was good for quite some time, but I personally moved on to What.cd and haven't been happier. If you can't find an invite, you can get an interview to get in. Just be sure to bone up before you try to interview, they will ask specific questions about bitrates and such. More info...

    Nope. No donations for an invite at BTN. Currently you need to know someone who is of the user class "Master" or higher. They're the only ones who can send out invites, currently. Though you can also get an invite through official PU+ Invite forums of other trackers such as What.cd...

    I dunno what they use, but the Goliathus sounds similar to what PC Rooms in Korea here use. They have these giant mats that cover your entire desk. The old, soft style--but it covers everything. You set your keyboard on it. It actually ends up being quite nice.

    Actually... invites to PTP are rather hard to come by. They require a large amount of points to purchase. For comparison... it costs more points for an invite than it would cost to upgrade to the next user class for some levels. Your best bet is going to either be waiting for a promotion when...

    To be short, there aren't any. Or rather, there are, but they are crap. Public trackers probably have as good if not better of a selection than most of the private e-book trackers I've seen. Ebooks are just too small to be viably torrented, except in large packs of books. Your alternatives...

    Limiting yourself to Razer is limiting yourself quite a bit. We also don't know your budget, nor what you plan to use it for--does it need to have a mic? Ones with USB connections have little DAC (not precisely but approximately... soundcards) attached. Unless you spend a serious chunk of...

    1) Magnet links protect torrent file hosters, not the people who download them. 2) No, DSL does not track "better" than cable. It's a different company. They have different policies. 3) Don't use public trackers, first and foremost. Additionally, you could use a VPN or a seedbox. 4)...

    Yes, you wouldn't need anything except the subscription. I've used Feral and a few others. Whatbox.ca is by far my choice. They have great support for people who don't know what the flip they're doing. And they're fast and cheap. There are betters out there, but without good working knowledge of...

    Just saw this tonight. I really liked it. Even though all the actors did an amazing job, I still find myself wishing Wes wouldn't always use the same group of actors for every film. I know it adds a certain unique quality to his films, and further lends itself to the idea that his films are...

    Well it's not new. Chances are your already familiar with them. But technically PM's on a public board are against some of the trackers rules too. I'd love to share. But I can't until I can find a way to not break trackers rules.

    I used to have that problem too. The issue was the fact that the provided modem/router from my ISP had poor/no QoS settings. Those are basically congestion settings you can turn on or off--and give certain types of traffic higher priority than others. Bought a cheap router to run DD-WRT on...

    I could go over the reasons that I'd favor a private little area, but it basically comes down to two things: 1) A private area discourages invite sellers from exploiting our user base for their financial gain. Trust me, it happens. It would also prevent deadbeat users from getting an invite...

    Well... it seems like a lot of trackers use Cloudflare to prevent DDoS attacks. I'm guessing people have either found a way to exploit the Cloudflare service, or they just hosted the website through the service and not the tracker IP's. Could it be big entertainment industries? Yeah sure. But...
