Dang, yea I was hoping for at least some official recruitment thread opportunities somewhere but seems like most of those are gone now too. But good looking out - I know that's likely a long ways off lol, but I appreciate the offer.

Looking forward to the "How to get into PT" section. I've been stalking the MAM unofficial invite forum for a FL invite for a while and seem to keep missing them when they come up. Hoping there was a better way to go about that.
Aah, dang - thanks for trying!
Hi - just curious if you were able to look at the release notes for these releases (the NTb and FLUX ones) and whether or not you found out anything. If not, no worries, but I thought I'd check in.
Also, I'm particularly interested because I noticed that the FLUX version has a season REPACK out there where the REPACK size is similar to the NTb file size, which makes me all the more curious about the original FLUX versions with the increased file size / bitrate (and whether that means better quality or not in this instance).
Aah, makes sense. Thanks for the example! That really helps to put it into perspective. So REPACK on a P2P file doesn't necessarily mean somethings wrong with the original version, but the REPACK's will generally be improved in some way. That's really helpful to know.
Really appreciate you and the other commenters providing these insights.

Thanks for the reply and the link! I agree, based on everything I'm learning in this thread, seems like the FLUX version is the way to go for the added bitrate.
Oh, good call. I didn't even consider that!
That makes sense and helps to conceptualize the impact of the bitrate difference. I guess I was under the impression that bitrate would be set at the source and not by the release group, but seems I may have been wrong in that assumption. Thanks for the info!
Ohh, I didn't realize the release groups would set the bitrate. I figured that was set at the source. But that makes sense. Thanks for helping to clear this up! I was at a loss trying to connect the dots on the size differential here.
Gotcha. Any idea why the bitrate would be different on a WEB-DL from the same source? I figured bitrate would remain the same if the file is being downloaded and DRM stripped, with all else (source, resolution, etc...) remaining equal.

Oh nice, that's good to know. Thanks for the heads up.
