Hello, I am new here and am wondering where and how to learn and get into private torrent trackers?
Don’t bother. Private trackers suck. You have to maintain a certain ratio, which is much harder to do than you think when every single popular file has no leechers cause everyone’s doing the same thing. So more often than not you have to download a bunch of random BS that no one wants and seed it forever just to build up a high enough ratio to finally download what you actually want.
If you’re going to pay for torrents, save yourself the hassle and just sign up for Real-Debrid instead. You get direct downloads at up to 1Gbps, so it’s just as fast as a private tracker, and there’s no worrying about seeding since all the most popular torrents in the world are stored directly on their servers. (You can also easily add torrents that aren’t already on Debrid, in which case it behaves like a seedbox.) ~$17.50 for 6 months.
Just start with freeleech torrents until you build your ratio. On my tracker, any torrent over 10gb does not count towards your download so everything uploaded from it is a bonus. For example, if you’ downloaded starfield today, by the end of the week you would probably have a decent amount of upload credit (its 90gb and people leeching constantly).
Pair this with a few of the most popular TV seasons and you’re set. Just leave those torrents seeding forever and you have little to worry about. If any slow down, replace them with something fresh. After a couple weeks you will probably be at the point where you never need to consider your upload/download ratio again.!
Add your torrent client to windows startup so you have to remember to stop seeding, not to start seeding.
Buy a cheap 2TB HDD and seed forever.
Download things when you need them not just because you can Be smart, not greedy. Share back. It’s really not that hard you just need self control.
Its also important to set up your torrent client properly, any good tracker will have a guide for this. Your upload won’t count if it’s not set up correctly, this is where a lot of people fall.
But be aware that most of these sites will ban you if you don’t keep your ratio, but most will let you “donate” to get back in.
I’m not an expert but i’m happy to answer any questions.
Good luck!
Honestly, I agree with this completely. I got into private trackers earlier this year and after a couple months just quit. On public torrents I have a seed ratio over 5.0, since I have gigabit upload and just like giving back, but private trackers just ended up being a pain.
Having to manage ratios was a pain. Having to build your ratio with freeleech was a pain. I never had a single torrent get a positive ratio. To top it off, I didn’t even find the selection to be much better than public trackers.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I tried 3-4 and then just gave up. Too many rules and not enough reason to use it.
Add some public (BT) trackers to ur private torrent and share it to ur friends, you’ll get what you want.
Real debrid and usenet seems awesome, but I never tried that just because private trackers are working perfectly fine for so many years. Building ratio is not easy on every tracker, but some of them are a joke. Lot of them reward you with points if your torrents are just active and then you can buy upload with points. OP didnt ask for movies or tv shows source, but most likely its their interest. Private trackers can provide more than just a video content, but yeah if you dont want to keep your PC online to keep seeding its probably not best option. Id rather pay for VPN and donate to trackers that share loot for free tbh, but its not for everyone
how about the absolute top private trackers like BeyondHD or PTP are they so lenient or even remotely possible to join? because those are the only ones worth joining IMO the lower tier private ones are stupid since i can grab everything they have from elsewhere
PTP is having some troubles right now, but I believe you can join almost anything with good reputation. Even lower tier trackers are better than public trackers IMO, people still care more and feels better to contribute, its probably bit more safe as well
Find the tracker group you want, then seed and suck up to them. It’s a shallow system.
I would also like to know
That’s the best part, you can’t
You absolutely can. A good portion of popular trackers have periodicall open signup events. Torrentleech has fairly often open signups. It’s big so it isn’t that easy to build up your ratio when you’re a drop in an ocean, but when you do it can open doors for some more prestigious trackers, although TL should be enough in 99% of cases if you aren’t into some (less popular) niche content. Watch r/opensignups on reddit if it’s still alive and soon enough you’ll be on too many trackers.
Theres r/trackersignups and the telegram channel r/opensignups migrated to of the same name.
Carefully.
