About the development direction of the site in 2021

To All PTHomers:

In 2020, PTHome has grown up from a new-born website into a matured one with its official team, including BluRay-DIY, x264 and x265 encode, web-dl and so on. Obviously, it wouldn’t be possible without the suggestions and support from all of the users or the willing uploaders who ask nothing in return. Based upon the present and look into the future, we will insist the spirit of Private Tracker - “All for one and one for all”, and continue to work hard for the ultimate user experience. Besides, PTHome will still accept the supervision of all users and always welcome your criticism and suggestions.

Now, we will explain the development and strategic of our site in 2021 to you.

Part I

As all known, Private Tracker is different from public in terms of its good torrents survival. However, with the development of the site, we gradually find that the user ranking system of the site is no longer suitable for the orientation of the site.

1. For the pursuit of high sharing ratio, many users have to pursue the uploaded data, and spend their time on it, but rarely enjoy it. We hope that all users can easily enjoy PT through seeding and uploading, so that users with both hardware and software conditions can enjoy the inner happiness from the film and television works. At the same time, enjoy the convenience of resources downloading.

2. It is more difficult to keep unpopular resources being seeded. A few popular packages with giant size can easily get lots of seeders and get them plenty of bonus, while those unpopular torrents’ seeders become less and less.

Therefore, we got non-bonus label (for details, read the bonus page), and started to calculate the seed points which only related to the user's seed situation. The way to acquire seed points is the accumulation of bonus per hour. At the same time, after a long discussion, the management group also decided to promote the current rank system at an appropriate time in 2020.

1. Lower the sharing ratio requirements for senior-class users. Collecting the real buffer while instead of concentrating in sharing ratio.

2. The user ranking system will relate to the user's seeding bonus or torrents they have uploaded. So, we can bring convenience to those who not having higespeed bandwidth, but willing to seed resources as much as their capability.

For the current bonus system, we will further optimize it as follows:

1. For the packages with non-bonus labels, different volume discounts will be given according to the number of seeders. The new rule is: for all torrents with non-bonus labels, when the number of seeders is less than 10, one fifth of the volume will be calculated. When the number of seeders is greater than or equal to 10, none of the volume will be calculated. (only the number of seeding is calculated)

2. Extra bonus for particular torrents, which is still under discussion.

3.We will construct more functions for you to make use of your bonus.

We understand that maybe not all users agree with our policy currently, but if we consider it widely, we are willing to make some attempts and sacrifices for the healthy development of our site.

PART II (Thanks for the authentic interpretation from HDDolby)

For account security, passkey system will be officially offline in 2021. As for the accurate date, it is still under discussion.

Possible adjustments and solutions for this policy:

1. The RSS link based on passkey will be invalid. It will be converted to RSS key encrypted subscription (the link needs to be regenerated, valid for 180 days).

2. Other downloads link based on passkey will be invalid.

3.IYUU users, please kindly update IYUU to the latest version and add the RSS KEY.

Special attention:
In the past, a large number of torrents were downloaded based on passkey encryption, but now they have been transformed into hash encryption. Passkey download mode still exists for now. And in the future, we may shift all link into hash encryption.

How to get RSS key?(valid for 180 days)
