I would like to get an invite (for free) to a private tracker, where could I go to get such an invite? Thanks in advance!

    Don’t bother, none of them are worth it, they require you to always be active and frequent their site, they practically force you to donate or be banned, their torrents are basically identical to what you’d find on all public torrent sites, their giveaways are fake as fuck, you can’t use scripts to automatically grab from the site because they’ll ban you for not actively browsing the site. You’re literally better off paying Netflix and friends than dealing with private trackers.

      Literally none of the private trackers I’m on are like this. And I only use automation for finding, downloading, and managing my torrents.

      You’re absolutely full of bullshit on this.

        What do you get ton private trackers that you can’t get from public ones? In a life of pirating I’ve literally never needed a private tracker.

          Private trackers have more torrents at better quality than public trackers. MAM has more books in more formats than anyone else. AvistaZ has more Kdramas than anyone else. This is the benefit of private trackers. If I want a book series, I know I can go to MAM and not only find the books individually, but also packaged together as well. I can get them in ebook or audiobook. I can have my choice of narrators, if multiple ones recorded the book.

          You say you’ve never needed a private tracker, and that might be true. But what’s also true is that you’ve made do with whatever scraps have been uploaded to public trackers, in whatever quality and format you can find. And you’ve never even had a taste of the choice that comes with a private tracker.

        In all my years, I’ve never been forced to donate to a private tracker. Most of them throw ratio at you, because you get it for seeding even if nobody is downloading from you. Shit, on MAM, I actually only have a 0.3 ratio, because everything is seeded so well. But I’ve been given credit for a 23.1 ratio.

        If a person feels like they’re being forced to donate, it’s probably because they’re a leecher, and used to being able to just quit torrents whenever they want.
