Thank for your comment again. I will agree that the number of users might look bad on the surface - too many users compared to the number of torrents, BUT if you dig deeper, and if you use PHD often, you'll realize this is part of the reason why their torrents are so well-seeded compared to other trackers At least this is what I've seen from personal experience. So many downloaders that keep seeding for a very long time, but they need more active uploaders. You'll hardly find any other HD tracker where 90% of torrents are seeded at any given time. That's a BIG plus for PHD

As for PHD's internal encodes being banned from other trackers due to bad quality, I'm not sure which internals you mean:

- HDBEE releases Full BD (no encoding - no change in quality)
- EPSiLON releases REMUX (no encoding - no change in quality).
- UTR-HD does x265 encodes, some trackers ban all x265 anyways, if they allow them, they would allow UTR-HD encodes since they're among the best HEVC encodes out there, but x265 codec is still recent and not very stable, so this one is very subjective

PHD has no other internal encoders for BluRay/WEB-DL/WEBRip. Some users release their own encodes, but they're not official PHD encodes
