Hopefully less drama and more movies.

Hi everyone!

I'm very happy to announce version 2 of our site. We have been working on this for quite some time now, and we finally felt it was ready to go live with the changes we have been working on.

This site isn't perfect. In fact, there are probably a few things missing. We have been listening to everyone's feedback, and we realize there's a long list of bugs that will pop up over the next few days. However, we felt that our current code base was in a complete mess and we wanted to give people something new and fresh.

There is so much new with the site, so I'll start listing off some of the obvious improvements.

- Advanced search vastly improved.
- Bonus points system rewritten, allows 2 tiers of custom titles
- Required ratio isn't based off of seeding amounts (like What is), but instead shows you your actual required ratio for the Barrier you are placed in. Read our ratio rules for more information.
- New stylesheets (still trying to work out some of the kinks in our old ones and v2) - thanks to Lerk08 for his stylesheet repairs, and trza for v2 stylesheet, and Transmition for dusk
- Ratings on the details page from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes
- Backend system, as well as page caching, improved
- Half-leech and double upload - huge thanks to Remy who made this feature possible for us.

and much more.. I cannot provide an entire list, as it would take too long.

If you find a bug, please help us squash it. Check out our bug tracking forum here and make a thread for it. I will look into it and reply as soon as possible.

Edit: Invites are temporarily disabled. They are not removed, but we have a pending bug with invites. It will be restored as soon as possible.

-- this is how the request page looks like now :



--- i have to say that the v2 stylesheet looks pretty good. other changes have been made but you'll just have to discover them on your own.

How is that tracker anyways? That's one site I've always wondered about...if it's worth joining. I've heard both good things and bad, so idk...

PTP is a wonderful site. Its like What of music-trackers. I must recommend PTP if you are into movies. Wunza has a similar interface to PTP too. :D
Earlier invites were limited to VIP and elite. Now they can be bought using Bonus Points. Hence, PTP invites will be coming in near future, may be put up a request and some one will surely hook you one.

Is there a lot of HD stuff? I download all HD movies...look at my signature. Is there something that PTP has to offer that I may be interested in that I can't already get?

here's a screenie of browse page. each movie is sub-divided into SD,720p and 1080p categories. You can find same content in other sites but retention will be better at PTP. Also, you might not find some older movies at HDbits too :) PTP is a dedicated movie tracker.

What about subtitles?
If you compare it to what, i guess most content is user submitted / home made rips.

I'm not that good in understanding every single word in an english movie, so i'm used to using subtitles, provided by translaters. The only 'problem' with that is that all the subtitles provided on that dutch site are synced with scene-releases.

So, how could i get subtitles matching the PTP content?
-Srry for this little offtopic question, but i didnt know where else i could put it-
