> Tracker Description

PTN is a ratioless movie tracker. PTNv3 has been recently released. It is still in beta and some features are disabled. There's been a lot of updates, you can see the list on the homepage screenshot below. PTN has scene torrents unrared, which is great. It tracks almost 10K torrents, which is not very much compared to PTP which has over 100K torrents. But if you're just looking for the latest releases PTN is great and you can download all you want right from the start. Torrents are not grouped by movies on the browse page. If you click on any torrent it'll take you to a movie page where you can find all torrents for that movie. Encodes by PTN internal team SKALiWAGZ are pinned to the top (see browse page screenshot). One fun feature are Diamonds, they appear randomly around the site and just float around until someone catches it (I caught 1 while writing this review, and 7 since v3 launched). Collect enough and you can spend them in the Diamond shop. You also earn gold for seeding and other activities, but the gold shop is currently disabled(hopefully, not for long). PTN has moved away from promoting based on total data and now only upload data is counted. I lost one user level because of that. But I still like PTN a lot.
Oh, have I mentioned PTN has an OST section. There are lots of soundtracks there in various formats, but mostly FLAC.

PTN features:
​
PTN also has an IRC announce channel, obviously.

PTN is a ratioless tracker. No need for freeleech \o/

There is Gold that you earn for seeding and Diamonds that are found randomly throughout the site. My user class went down in v3 so I don't know what you can buy in diamond shop(if anyone can post a screenshot that be great). Gold shop is disabled for now.

Content: 6/10

Very few torrents. Compared to the size of the community 7K enabled users for 10K torrents. Come here for the latest stuff mostly.

Speed: 7/10

Very nice speeds for new torrents. Most of the old torrents have just a few seeds at the most so they are slow.

Community: 8/10

Forums are very active. Forums screenshot only show post count since v3 release.

+10 points for being ratioless

Not sure. Maybe in the future, maybe not. But there should be more invites floating around.
