Sorry if this felt like a noobie question, as im new to the world of private trackers.

What’s the best way to access private tracker invites? Is it considered really okay or safe to purchase account invites from websites like (invitez) and (torrentinvites)?

If you’re willing to spend some money, why not move to Usenet? I just made the move and it’s miles better than torrenting, although I wasn’t using a private tracker

For most things I’d recommend Usenet as well, but that might not always be the case for niche content.

For example, I think MaM is better than Usenet for audiobooks.

I’ve never used Usenet, how does it work?

You direct download the files instead of download pieces from multiple people. In my experience Usenet is 100% faster than torrenting and you don’t have all the rules behind it like being required to seed back which is super helpful if you are on a limited set a data every month (fucking Comcast)

Usenet is definitely really good if you are using something like sonarr to autograb the newest stuff coming out. But if you are looking at old content, Usenet might be missing stuff, whereas BTN has a very extensive archive.

Sorry if I’m being oblivious, but what’s BTN?

Isn’t Usenet been there forever now? I’ve observed it for so many years. But I’m not sure whether the newsgroups have all the up-to-date content available like the private trackers have? I download a lot of REMUX files.

From what I heard content can get taken down there, not the best for niche stuff, not the best for new releases (have to wait 1-2 hours from when something is already on privates within minutes)
