    Damn, that’s some divine providence!
    Glad they had a happy ending

    Well, thanks to FileList I finally managed to catch an open signup at TorrentLeech.

    Can someone explain to me why you use private trackers? Is it because of the possibility to request older stuff etc? Would love to know the advantages compared to torrentgalaxy for example

        I tried out my first private tracker with SceneTime.

        Literally no benefit over a public tracker that I can see.

        • Selection is smaller, all torrents have a max of 30 seeders that I have seen. Most have 2-3.

        • Impossible to get a good ratio without seeding an unwanted popular torrent because niche content will have like 3 downloads per year.

        • Tons of abandoned torrents or torrents with 1 seeder

        • Almost 0 content older than 10 years unless it is very popular

        Maybe I am not integrated enough with the community, and my stupid ISP has extreme asymmetrical speeds that max my upload at 30Mbps, but I mostly still use a public tracker where when I seed, people will actually leech.

        Blu-ray, remux, and encodes vs TGX’s 2 gb

        They are available at public trackers too. The only stuff that isn’t there in public is the more obscure stuff, but you can try 4chan’s torrents board to search for it.

        Seed to leech ratios are better, fast downloads.

        Massively depends on the tracker.

      I THINK the idea is you don’t need a VPN with a private tracker. Other then that, the selection is usually better, and the seeders have faster uploads.

        You should always use a VPN, doesn’t matter if the tracker is public or private. And yes, better selection, seeding requirements, and better speeds.

          VPN provider is just as likely to rat as the private tracker, if it comes down to it. Only VPN I’d truly trust is Njalla. Anyway I’m interested in why a VPN is recommended for a private tracker.

            Because if you live in oppressive countries without privacy laws, your ISP can/will also rat you out. Like the USA.

              On a private tracker my ISP knows the domain name of my tracker, and, the IP addresses of the peers I downloaded from. They do not know any of the content, unless they join the site AND seed the content in question.

        All of what this person said!

        I still use public trackers though, mainly because I want my seeds to actually benefit others, not fill up some arbitrary private tracker counter.

      Faster and more reliable seeders, better opsec, better uploads (due to stricter rules), wider variety of content, and better community features. There’s more but that’s what immediately comes to mind for me.

    lmfao any sane person that’s been on private trackers won’t give invites to randoms. that’s how you get banned.

    Since we’re all begging, I’d love an invite as well. I’m on digitalcore/torrentleech/superbits if you’d like some security that I’m not only a leech.

      @MoshBit Sure. Filelist is a (mostly) Romanian private tracker (the website is available in English as well, though). It is also kinda hugely popular here (pretty much the most popular Romanian torrent website altogether). A couple of days ago, the admin announced that due to personal issues and being unable to find a replacement, the website would shut down. Now a solution was found.

      Private torrent tracker. Invite only, to my knowledge.
