Got banned from torrent leech after uninstalling theyr broken cracked softwares that i couldnt manage to run properly, dropping my ratio above 0.4… that’s a shame, my qbittorrent ratio is 5 and i quite seed anything untill i need more space on the drives. Any (free of course) alternatives ?
Lmao its so easy to keep a good ratio on TL most of the site is freeleech. If you can’t keep a ratio there youll have much harder time on better trackers.
i downloaded a 700gb software, then unisntall it cz of important missing parts. Math is awful

Either you need to upgrade your hard drives to seed longer or you need to actually seed longer. You’re not going to survive at any private trackers if you keep removing torrents before meeting the tracker’s seed criteria.
Re: Torrentleech they’ll re-open signups again, you could just wait until then & give it another go.
There are other general private trackers just not sure what to recommend that is currently open registration right now. Keep an eye on opensignups@lemmy.ml and https://opentrackers.org/ you might catch something open for signup.
EDIT: Maybe DigitalCore? Not a member there but they are a general tracker and https://opentrackers.org/ lists them as open signup right now.
Some of you need to embrace Usenet. Never have to worries about power tripping admins on Torrent sites.
You know… that’s not a bad idea, I just need a general tracker for dumb stuff that’s now allowed on my niche trackers such as cams, Usenet would be perfect for that… time to go down the rabbit hole and figure it all out again lol
Just a heads up that you probably shouldn’t install games/software from usenet. Pretty much anyone can upload anything they want to an indexer, and it’s usually the same thing that gets mirrored to other indexers as well. For movies/tv this generally doesn’t end up to be a problem but for anything you execute it could be dangerous
For software I recommend you sign up to m0nkrus and for games you can either be safe with fitgirl-repacks.site or find a way into GazelleGames
Getting into GGn might be tricky, but it’s definitely worth it and plenty of FL. Also very active even some obscure content gets regular seeders.
For software, maybe add DigitalCore to that list. It’s better to use a site dedicated to software (like m0nkrus :3) then something like a general tracker with loose upload rules.
Is Usenet free? I was under the impression that there is a monthly fee attached to it
Strictly-speaking, Usenet doesn’t have to be commercial, but while it was once typical for ISPs, universities, and other institutions to bundle Usenet service, now it typically is not, and so for most people, commercial Usenet access is really the only realistic alternative.
There’s a monthly fee but it’s not much. I’m on a $20/yr plan from Newshosting.
Oh damn, I didn’t know it wast that cheap. Do you get access to everything with that? Like apart from movies and TV, does it also have like niche software, obscure movies or lesser known books and such ? Also, what about hosting? In the past I had a good seedbox/VPS that I was paying $20/month for that I could use to maintain ratio on private trackers as well as host my own plex server. Would I have to spend more on my own server in addition to Usenet or is streaming available for Usenet?
What software? I have had a torrentleech account for years and never had to install any software other than my torrent client.
I think what they mean is they downloaded some cracked software, couldn’t get them to run and deleted them. Once they deleted it they were obviously no longer seeding them, and their ratio got them banned.
Free?
Use qbittorrent search plugins (don’t use solidtorrents because I got a crypto miner malware 3 years ago from 4k downloader ) use it at your own risk https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficial-search-plugins
don’t use solidtorrents
SolidTorrents / BitSearch are great sites for finding torrents, just keep in mind they use a DHT crawler to find and index random torrents found via the bittorrent DHT network. None of those torrents are being verified as virus/malware free. This is true of all public torrent indexers that use a DHT crawler.
Probably shouldn’t download binaries/executables/installers via public torrents but they’re usually fine for media file types.
