Site SSL Certificate

Our site SSL Certificate expired (as they always do). I had some issues getting the new GoDaddy Certificate working, so am currently getting and trying a Comodo SSL Certificate. Please bear with us until it is resolved (hopefully by Monday). Please leave your seeds seeding as is, even if they are in error, they should sort themselves once the new valid certificate is working. Downloading should not be affected.



Uploaders needed for TV/HD episodes

Some of our TV/HD uploaders are having issues, so if any member can help fill-in on regular TV show uploads that would be wonderful and greatly appreciated!

Inactive Accounts
Inactive accounts are getting ridiculous. New policy is if an account has not been used in over a year, it's gone.

Old VIP status
Old ViP status for members who donated more than a year ago, have been corrected. Apparently there were some still left on well after the donation period expired. Donations get a member a month's VIP status and more.
(See below for Donation information)

Please try to donate, even small amounts on a regular basis do help, costs do keep going up instead of down. So if you like what we offer and keep you supplied in what you like, please please please consider donating.

Donations have been very low most of the year and things are looking critical!

Please donate even £10 amounts will help.
The donation site comes up as BitDev Forum and has a valid SSL Certificate, so don't be worried, thats how we do it!

Hit and Runs - Your responsibility
Lately some of you have been amassing hit runs and then don't seem to realize why your site privileges (such as download ability) have been locked out. You know who you are, or should know. Check your My Snatches pages, or better yet, read the PMs you received when the hit runs were processed

Hit runs become permanent when the torrent drops off the site for whatever reason, before you have resolved it by either seeding it back (seedtime or ratio) or by using Karma points on the My Snatches page. If you get too many permanent hit runs then your other recourse is to make a site donation depending on how many hit runs you have, the donation amount might vary from £15 to £50 to put your account back into good standing.



Seeding Time:
All downloads must be seeded for either 48hrs or to a 1:1 ratio each. The time your PC is off or torrent client not actually seeding does not count, nor should it logically ever count. You know (or should) how much time you actually seed a file, torrent clients tell you when a grab completes and is easy to then seed for at least 2 days after that! The longer you seed, the more karma bonus points you earn!!! Seed more than the minimum time on anything you grab and there should never be a problem with ratio, being a 'leecher', or hit and runs! You may check each download's seeding time remaining by looking at My Snatches. Hit and runs (not fully seeded back) will not be tolerated!

Connectability:
If you look at your profile, you will see if you are connectable or not to the tracker. If you are not, then follow the steps in http://ptfiles.net/forums.php?action...ic&topicid=812 or you may end up losing download ability!



ACCOUNT PASSWORDS!
Passwords should not be the same on different sites, you should always use different passwords on different sites! Do not use easily guessed passwords! See the following Forum Post for more information:

https://ptfiles.net/forums.php?actio...e=p31195#31195

Any PTF account which is breached due to a member using the same password on different sites will be locked out pending review by staff.
