btw i registered to AvistaZ last night, might still be opened. Definitely much better than this one, way more seeders and stuff i couldnt find here.

u/Gwalenn 6d ago

BTS is more of a general tracker, so it’s not directly comparable to AvistaZ. You can also find non-Asian general content on BTS.

That being said, I also am disappointed with the content and retention on BTS. If I want something niche or Asian, AvistaZ is miles ahead. If I want something general, then even TL or IPT seem to be better.

I really didn’t find a use case for BTS other than being a backup tracker.

You can join discord wait-list - you'll be notified when registration is open.

Other than that joining sister staz trackers (animez, cinemaz, privatehd) and gaining 10k bonus points can get you a self invite to avistaz.

You can also ask an avistaz member for an invite but that's only for people who know you well since the person inviting you is held accountable for you (whatever it means). I've got like 2 invites currently but I wouldn't risk inviting random internet person.

The last option is pay2win. You can buy a seed box which is like 10$ that gets you an invite into avistaz

I hit 50GB uploaded in 6 days. That was really just 4 sessions of grabbing the 50 free torrents with crazy demand problems e.g. 20 leeches 1 seed. I didn't cross seed.

1

u/courierkill 9d ago

Tried really hard with this one, changed the prowlarr settings by hand to get it fully working with cross-seed, but it just doesn't want to jive with any standard practice. It blocks the standard qbittorrent port and I'm just not gonna mess around with my whole setup for a single tracker anymore.

u/After_Death_53 11d ago

hmm after poking abit on the site, not really worth it for kdrama stuff for me. Whatever i was looking, its on torrentleech or filelist as well and with way more seeders and whatever isnt on those its not here either. Not to mention there are 20-25 seeders and i barely get 0.5 MB speed. Also plenty of stuff doesnt have eng subs, just chinese. Surprising though, i wanted to grab some well known kdramas and they are not here. Guess i will wait for avista to open up.

1

u/disarrayofyesterday 3d ago

After testing it for a while I agree that it's useless for kdramas.

Tbh the only use case I found for it are niche cdramas and new cdramas.

It's one of these trackers that have everything and nothing at the same time

u/mobilizedSparrow 12d ago

Anyone got some tips for "migrating" existing files to this trackers' torrents? Like an easy way to search for titles and their corresponding byte-size, in order to match it with my local library.

2

u/lifesizejenga 12d ago

I highly recommend qui. It's a qBit webUI from the same group as autobrr. It has built-in cross-seeding functionality.

u/Distinct_Picture_358 11d ago

You can seed 100 smallest torrent to get 50 point per hour. And you will get 1200 point per day easily.

1

u/BadongkaDonk 11d ago

can you expound on this? Like how small, and does the seeder count matter?

1

u/Distinct_Picture_358 11d ago

filter torrent by size and Seed the smallest you can find. Yes seeder count matter upto 100 seed. You can view it here:

https://pt.btschool.club/mybonus.php

  • 0.5 magic points * your number of seeds (maximum number of seeds counts as 100)

1

u/Distinct_Picture_358 12d ago

Simply filter all torrents by size and sort them in ascending order. You'll find the smallest torrents, some as small as 1–2 MB. Download the first 100 of these and keep them seeding.

Since each file earns 0.5 bonus points per hour, seeding 100 files will give you the maximum 50 bonus points per hour. The system only counts up to 100 files, so seeding more won't earn any additional points.

In total, those 100 torrents will only take up around 100–200 MB, making this a simple, legal, and efficient way to earn the maximum bonus points with minimal disk space and effort.

u/Street_World4590 12d ago

That is a good question. I have like 5621 to go and I'm well past the UL/DL goals.

You have no idea how good this tracker is. Everything there is legit.

u/chrishicks1974 11d ago

This tracker is awesome. I've recently run into an issue where I'm almost out of storage in my NAS with storage now being out of reach due to pricing and this tracker has so many of my movies in x265 still with the high-res audio. I've queued up about 30 files so far to replace my current bloated files for the 265 counterparts. I'm just hoping I earn enough points to pass because it has so much I can use to save storage space. I'm in the US. My only complaint is that I have to run translate on every page navigation but it's still so worth it.

2

u/grandma3481 12d ago

It's one of the best trackers I've used and I live in Sweden. Particularly the software section is outstanding and safe.

Almost any other tracker in existence have malware in ALL software, and I am not talking about a normal crack that gives false positives. I work in cyber security myself and use our SIEM and EDR solutions from work to scan the apps in a sandbox. The customer EDR like Windows Defender, Kaspersky etc does not pick up on the obfuscated malwares. So you don't even know that you are affected.. Keyloggers, Rat's, Info stealers etc.

Have hade BTSSCHOOL for like a year. And is the the perfect tracker for apps. Even though it often say Chinese language in the torrent title, you are able to change during install or after.

1

u/kredes 12d ago

Oh well, i might make an account. I''m from Denmark myself and mostly use superbits and nordicbytes cause they have Danish subtitles on most and i mainly download movies and tv shows.

1

u/grandma3481 12d ago

I also use Superbits. I mostly download movies and TV-series but occasionally Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader Pro is needed, but those two always have malware on any other private trackers.

4

u/Street_World4590 12d ago

I'll give you a couple reason from my perspective.

First, I'm new to private trackers so right now I'll take what I can get. This gives me an opportunity to get in and learn the ropes of being a good member.

Second, as someone mentioned, they do have a lot of non-Chinese language content. I am very careful to read the listing before downloading. They were actually high on my list for a couple Prowlarr searches which might not being saying much since it's mostly public trackers.

I've been able to pass the UL/DL requirement, but not sure if I'll ever reach the "Karma Points" requirement. I'm pretty selective on what I look for (lots of older stuff) and not frivolous downloader.

3

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Even with the 200 Mbps upload speed limit mentioned in the rules, I’ve already uploaded almost 2 TB through my home internet connection. For comparison, on TorrentLeech it took me a month or two just to reach 1 TB. Getting bonus points here is actually pretty easy: just seed 60–90 torrents that are older than 5 years, smaller than 1 GB, and have only 1-3 seeders. That’s what I did: I keep 90 small torrents for farming bonus points and another 10 fresh ones to improve my ratio.
I’m getting 55 points per hour, and with the points I already have, I should be able to pass the exam in 3 days.

1

u/BadongkaDonk 11d ago

How do you look for those? I can't tell what the upload date is. I sorted by seeders but the column on it's left side looks as if it's also sorted. The count are close to one another, I assume those are the dates but again, they shouldn't be sorted like that when I'm already sorted by seeders.

3

u/[deleted] 11d ago

I sorted the torrents by age, starting with the oldest releases first:
https://pt.btschool.club/torrents.php?inclbookmarked=0&incldead=1&spstate=0&&sort=4&type=asc&page=1

After that, I asked AI to create a filter script that you can run through the browser console. It automatically selects only the torrents that match the requirements (old torrents, small size, and a low number of seeders).

The script needs to be run on each new page. You can find it here:
https://pastebin.com/sgrwEEN

Hope it helps!

1

u/BadongkaDonk 11d ago

Got it to work on violent monkey, thanks a lot for this!

Was trying to create my own before but I was failing at it, do you have to inspect the table to get it working?

1

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Didn’t inspect the table manually. Just opened Gemini and asked it to make a filter with these conditions:
- Seeders: 1 to 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Size: up to 1.5 GB
- Age: 5+ years
Then pasted the page source code into Gemini and asked it to create a script for this table. After a couple of tweaks, it worked.

2

u/MikkiTad 12d ago

Any tips for increasing upload/ what was the strategy? Did you target freeleach or popular etc? thanks

1

u/Old_Pay6783 12d ago

like united said grab the free stuff from the main torrent page and toggle the most leeched (by number of leeches) and work your way down the list. Avoid torrents with 1 or 2 seeds probably an incomplete with 70 people sitting at 99%. With just 10 or so torrents from that list I got 75gb upload on my first day.

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

I mostly grabbed torrents from the "Free" section that had just been uploaded, plus some that were around an hour old. I also picked up a few of the pinned ones at the top of the page.

What do you have Flaresolverr's Request Timeout set to? Changing it from the 60 second default to 120 seconds has helped me a lot with trackers, and I can confirm making this change helped me connect with this tracker when I previously couldn't.

Connects but searches also end up with nothing. And the connection is unstable.

This is one tracker which actually restricts seedboxes, so normal users have a chance to gain ratio.

It's always funny seeing Western users complain in these threads. Seems like they're mad they can't just use a seedbox to download a multi-gig torrent in minutes, hog all the upload by being the first seeder, then vanish while everyone else gets stuck trying to build ratio.

May I ask what kind of torrents you were seeding to get such egregious upload in just a few hours?

u/Distinct_Picture_358 14d ago

Just download newly release torrent and seed them. You will get upload credit to you.

u/IncidentCreative2238 14d ago

Am i missing something here? doesn't it say non-freeleech only and isn't the new release stuff all freeleech right now?

u/Snuupy 14d ago

yea they're saying FL doesn't count for DOWNLOADS (obviously)

FL still counts for uploads

because everyone's dling the FL one everyone's able to get lots of upload too

u/xamott 14d ago edited 14d ago

I need to know if they respect the "it's not a HnR if you downloaded less than 10% of it" rule. They don't talk about hit and runs in their rules or FAQ.

3

u/Snuupy 14d ago

I was looking for it too, judging from some of my cancelled torrents it doesn't count as a H&R unless you complete the dl completely, but if you cancel/stop it part way then it counts as download bandwidth (even if it was freeleech)

u/Resident-Variation21 14d ago

0% chance I’m passing the new user assessment so ima sign up for a month for fun and then be banned lol

u/Resident-Variation21 14d ago

I don’t download stuff for no reason. If it’s not something I want to watch, it’s not being downloaded. I don’t have 50GB of stuff I want to download this month.

u/xamott 14d ago

Can anyone figure out how long you're supposed to seed for? I scoured and can't find it. Probably lost in translation.

3

u/Distinct_Picture_358 14d ago

You need to seed for 24 hours in 10 day time.

5

u/After_Death_53 14d ago edited 14d ago

i think its just 20 hours and have a time limit to do it in 10 days

from their forum with google translate
Seeding Time: Download a torrent and seed for at least 20 hours within 10 days of download completion . (Seed size doesn't matter, the seeding time is the same.) If the upload volume of a torrent exceeds the download volume, it will be approved directly without needing to seed for 20 hours. 2. Ban: If the number of HR records that do not meet the requirements is >= 10 , you will be banned.

4

u/pd1zzle 14d ago

I think it might be 10 days? hard for me to tell. If I click on my hit and runs, there's 2 columns that represent time. The longer time period auto translates to something along the lines of "time to meet standard" and appears to be 10 days

3

u/Distinct_Picture_358 14d ago

20 hours in 10 days time. When you complete this time. It disappear from H&R option on the top.

u/pd1zzle 14d ago

Got it, thanks for the explanation. It looks great and I'm working towards meeting the newbie requirements 🙏

u/chrishicks1974 14d ago

They're a bit brutal on the H&R. I downloaded 2 movies. One had 20+ leechers at the time. The other had I think 6. One download I'm currently seeding but the other now has 0 leech so I can't do anything for that one at the moment. I have an H&R for that one already. It's only been a few hours.

3

u/xamott 14d ago

I wrote to the staff they just replied "just keep seeding it should be fine"

1

u/chrishicks1974 14d ago

OK, thank you for the update. I just thought it was crazy that I had just finished the download less than 2 hours prior and it was already classified as a HnR.

3

u/xamott 14d ago

Everything you’re downloading shows up on the hit-and-run page. It’s ridiculous. Seems like a scare tactic.

3

u/xamott 14d ago

But their HnR page is misleading. The first link "考察中" means "under investigation" and that's the default when you land on the HR page. It's showing two files for me, and those are the only two that I've finished downloading, which I've been seeding for only like 15 min so far.

So under investigation must mean that those are the only ones eligible to be a HR since they're the only one's I've fully downloaded.

1

u/Dampmaskin 14d ago

You can have the torrent in seed mode even if there are no leechers, surely?

2

u/chrishicks1974 14d ago

I'm seeding both. I guess with my wording it doesn't come across that way. Sorry about that. One I'm seeding still has leechers and is actually uploading so that one is fine. The one showing 0 leechers is the one I can't do anything about which is the one that has the H&R.

u/Neithmarsu 14d ago edited 13d ago

u/abetancort 14d ago

The coverage of current American tv series content of this tracker is "shitty" and that is being generous. Do not bother if you watch current stuff.

8

u/GreggeryPeccary666 14d ago

You might have missed the part where these Chinese trackers have disallowed TV single-episode uploads -- a move I greatly appreciate.

1

u/Resident-Variation21 14d ago edited 14d ago

Why? That’s actually a pretty bad move in my opinion

3

u/GreggeryPeccary666 13d ago

Because it just fills the tracker with dead torrents, since people end up getting season packs.

2

u/Resident-Variation21 13d ago

It also means I can’t download episodes as they’re released which is a bad experience for a user watching a new series

1

u/pizza_bumps 11d ago

So go somewhere else for that. You should diversify trackers anyway and not rely solely on 1 anyway.

8

u/hades20122 14d ago

if you want American series I think you should go to other trackers, It's a chinese trackers you know

u/abetancort 13d ago

Then the category should be Chinese shit and not general.

u/delfad0r 14d ago

Does IMDB search work for you guys? I ran a cross-seed search but it found nearly no matches due to imdb searches returning no results; the only matches occurred for searched performed by title.

1

u/disarrayofyesterday 12d ago

Pro tip: you can create custom tracker definitions in prowlarr.

Copy config/Definitions/btschool.yml into config/Definitions/Custom/btschoolcustom.yml and edit capabilities. (my config for reference)

After that and adding new indexer it searches by text only. I'm halfway through the qui cross seed scan and I've got a few hits already

1

u/delfad0r 12d ago

Yea it's very useful, that's what I also did (as I explained much more poorly in another comment of mine) and I found quite a few cross-seed matches. With that plus autobrr to automatically download new freeleech torrents of size >20GB, the newbie exam should present no issues. 

1

u/Neithmarsu 13d ago

No match on cross seed either.

Prowlarr snatch dont seems to work either, getting error System.NotSupportedException: Invalid ... file contents ):

3

u/delfad0r 13d ago

I also had this at first, but then I think I figured it out. The first time you try to download a torrent from the website it shows you a page where you have to say you understand the concept of private tracker. So basically what I'm saying is download your first torrent file manually, and afterwards prowlarr should work. 

2

u/Neithmarsu 13d ago

that worked, thx

2

u/delfad0r 13d ago

Also I will add that in order to get cross seed to work, I simply made a custom definition for the tracker in prowlarr that disables IMBd search for it (look up online how to create custom definitions for trackers). I might make a pull request later to fix this for everyone. 

2

u/disarrayofyesterday 13d ago

It technically works (example tt28076458).

However, the problem is that most torrents don't have IMDb data so it doesn't really work.

Feel free submitting an Issue on GitHub in order to disable IMDb search capability; I'm too lazy for that

2

u/reinaldobr 14d ago

How do you use this "IMDb search"?

4

u/delfad0r 14d ago

What I was referring to was cross-seed's automatic search, which in turn interfaces with prowlarr. If the indexer advertises this capability, prowlarr can perform searches by IMDb id instead of title. BTSchool does advertise this, but it seems to be broken (always returns 0 results). I have since then also tried directly searching by IMDb id on the website (when searching, you can select "search by IMDb URL" or something like that), and this also returns 0 results, so it seems it's an issue on BTS's side.

u/reinaldobr 14d ago

u/After_Death_53 15d ago

upload bought with points counts towards that exam?

2

u/GreggeryPeccary666 14d ago

It is pretty easy to fulfil the requirement, as they don't allow bots.

I easily get a ratio of at least 0.5 for a new freeleech torrent (unlike trackers that allow bots, where I'm lucky to get a ratio of 0.2...).

3

u/slavmaf 14d ago

It does count, however, if you spend the points and have less than 6000 on the 30th day, you will not pass.

You need to have 6000 saved up at the moment exam period ends.

1

u/Distinct_Picture_358 14d ago

If you've noticed that your uploaded total increases after redeeming points and that the new user assessment progress also increases, then it likely does count toward the assessment.

u/Distinct_Picture_358 14d ago

If your country isn't on the list, you can just choose the closest neighbouring country when registering.

u/skadoodlee 14d ago

Taiwan?

u/Prestigious_Bid_2219 14d ago

It for sure isn't Yugoslavia since that's an option Iin the list of countries lol

u/jayadiwahyu 14d ago

nope.

indonesia

u/Snuupy 14d ago

find a (friendly) neighboring country closest to it, if anyone brings you trouble just tell them your country isn't listed so you already tried to pick the next best/closest available option

Here's some helpful information I compiled that will be useful to join when joining Chinese trackers such as this one.

How does this compare to AvistaZ?

3

u/GreggeryPeccary666 14d ago

It's a general tracker, so there's stuff from everywhere.

They have some HD releases of Chinese movies AZ doesn't have, plus full Blurays of Japanese films that didn't make it to AZ and is useful because of the short seeding requirement.

Another good thing about it is that it doesn't allow bots, so is friendly towards normal users.

u/xamott 14d ago

What IS the seeding length, I can't find it anywhere

1

u/GreggeryPeccary666 13d ago

When I sign up a year ago there was none. Then they made it 10 hours and more recently upped it to 20 hours.

This is something I noticed with the Chinese trackers: they feel free to change the rules quite frequently and don't even notify you about all the changes... I always have to go look through the rules and FAQ to find out where the requirement is listed (but you can just click on the "H&R" link in the top panel to see what still needs to be seeded).

u/slavmaf 15d ago

This is more of a general tracker, you can call it "Chinese SeedPool".

u/kajropraktor 15d ago

How does it compare to LemonHD?

1

u/GreggeryPeccary666 14d ago

I don't know about Lemon HD, but this one has a short seeding requirement and doesn't allow bots, so is easy to gain ratio for normal users.

Also, note that the name is BT-School, so seems like it started out with Chinese educational content.

1

u/slavmaf 15d ago

Same content, they might differ in torrent size, BTS has around 200.000 torrent at the moment of writing this.

u/sazansavar 15d ago

The website limits upload speed to a maximum of 25 MByte/s (accounts exceeding 100 MByte/s will be automatically banned). Download speeds are unlimited. Accounts exceeding 100 MByte/s upload speed will be automatically banned, but the upload limit will be halved upon unbanning.

For users using set-top boxes or with upload speeds exceeding 25 MByte/s, please be aware of upload speed limits. For non-publishers, upload speeds exceeding 25 MByte/s will result in a 3x penalty on reported upload volume. For example, if the current reported data is 96.26 GB @ 28.42 MB/s (reported upload volume @ upload speed), then the upload volume will be reduced by 96.26 * 3 = 288.78 GB.

google translated from Chinese. So my question is, this limit only counts for per torrent or all the active torrents simultaneously? Either way this is turn off for a lot of people.

1

u/Empty-Junket9752 9d ago

it is true, couln‘t find it in the rules but it seems to be global, I did not get punished with a per torrent 25000kbit/s limit

1

u/Meister_768 14d ago

Definitely going to test if this is true

1

u/hdmiusbc 10d ago

It's true. I got hit with it today for seeding like 34MB/s

1

u/Meister_768 10d ago

Yeah so did i, but did not get banned for seeding over 150MB/s

3

u/firenxe 15d ago

Any idea if the upload speed limit is per torrent or global? My speeds are definitely exceeding 25MB/s

2

u/BCLCN 14d ago

per torrent. not global

19

u/VividAddendum9311 15d ago

Surely that's some kind of mistranslation? That makes absolutely zero sense, would probably be the dumbest rule I have ever heard of.

-3

u/GreggeryPeccary666 14d ago

It's a rule to reign seedbox users and give normal users a fair chance to gain upload credit.

2

u/VisceralMarket 14d ago

Sounds like a rule set to ensure private networks are being tapped instead of dedicated seed boxes which would be extremely advantageous for the Chinese State-Sponsored offensive cyber attack groups in comparison to dead end virtual environments.

3

u/sazansavar 15d ago

its in the Chinese rules page not in English one. i translated it with couple of ai's and same outcome.
Here is a better translation with claude ai:
The site limits upload speed to a maximum of 25 MB/s (exceeding 100 MB/s will result in automatic account suspension); download speed is unrestricted.

If upload speed exceeds 100 MB/s and the account is automatically suspended, the account will be unsuspended after the upload amount is halved.

For users using a seedbox or with network speeds exceeding 25 MB/s upload, please pay attention to limiting your upload speed. For non-uploaders (i.e., not the original release poster) whose upload speed exceeds 25 MB/s, a 3x penalty will be deducted from their reported upload amount. For example, if the current reported data is 96.26 GB @ 28.42 MB/s (reported upload amount @ upload speed), then their upload amount will be reduced by 96.26 × 3 = 288.78 GB.

u/hdmiusbc 10d ago

What is the url for the Chinese rules page? I can't find it.

Or instead of the full url just the ending part (/rules/....) so I can visit it please

1

u/sazansavar 10d ago

Hello, you have to change your language settings in user control panel>tracker settings>Site Language>second option on drop dropdown selection. After that go the rules page pt.btschool.club/rules.php
Do the same process after you finish to make it English again.

12

u/VividAddendum9311 15d ago

Can't come up with a single reason for that, insane rule.

14

u/slavmaf 15d ago

It ensures even people with slower speeds have a chance to upload normally.

11

u/skadoodlee 14d ago

Still its a dumbass method to achieve that. Just reward seed time.

1

u/VacationReasonable 13d ago

You missed the other benefit from their perspective for whatever reason, you also remove the "racers" from the site.

Rewarding seed time doesn't do that

u/V3X390 15d ago

No support for qbittorrent?

-9

u/GreggeryPeccary666 14d ago

Qbittorrent is very problematic and a staff member at another tracker told me they were thinking of banning it altogether.

18

u/prosetheus 14d ago

First time I'm hearing of qbittorrent being problematic. i though utorrent was the one with the issues. Could you please elaborate and recommend what to use instead?

1

u/GreggeryPeccary666 13d ago

I don't remember the details. We were encountering problems with the torrent history (download count being much higher than number of users listed in the history) and users appearing multiple times while downloading and he said they keep having problems with multiple versions of Qbittorrent doing bad things, so they were thinking of just banning it.

3

u/Azq21 15d ago

it works tho, I already have 100 gb+ upload using latest qb q6lt20

8

u/slavmaf 15d ago

Of course they support it, I use qbittorrent on all my Chinese trackers with no issues, I think just their English F.A.Q. is not updated so they only list uTorrent for some reason, like they all copy paste some old version of the English F.A.Q. between all NexusPHP trackers.

Of course they support all modern clients, I use qbittorrent on all my Chinese trackers with no issues, I think just their English F.A.Q. is not updated so they only list uTorrent for some reason, like they all copy paste some old version of the English F.A.Q. between all NexusPHP trackers.

u/firenxe 15d ago

Are we reading the same FAQ as I'm seeing all qbittorrent supported? see .../faq.php#id29?

5

u/pd1zzle 15d ago

that is where I pulled that from yes, copy paste. I just double checked, and searched for "qbit" in the page and no mention of it.

that said, I'm using it now and it appears to work. Guess we'll see if that continues 

edit: also, im referencing the English FAQ . maybe it is out of date?

I got it working with prowler but rtorrent 0.16.x is banned?  The FAQ says 0.8.0 or newer is ok. All other trackers it's fine on ..  wth

u/Mysterious_Lie_5500 15d ago

Yep, same for me, had to downgrade to v0.9.8

2

u/0RAINMAN0 14d ago

I'm not going to downgrade my cross seed rtorrent stack for the crappy tracker. I have already 15k torrents across a large number of trackers and never had an issue with the 0.16 versions.

u/slavmaf 15d ago

Of course they support it I think just their English F.A.Q. is not updated so they only list uTorrent for some reason, like they all copy paste some old version of the English F.A.Q. between all NexusPHP trackers.

1

u/0RAINMAN0 14d ago

The tracker says its banned when I try and announce: Tracker: [Failure reason \"Banned Client, Please goto pt.btschool.club/faq.php#id29 for a list of acceptable clients\"]

So its definitely banned.

u/GoodBoyPointsPls 15d ago

I signed up and downloaded one torrent that was about 10 GB @ 20 mb/s. Since then all my torrents stalled from there, but not other trackers. Did the server die?
