Pirate Pro

I mean most of them are free you just need to be fair and upload your share.

I don’t have much free time to play around and never had the chance to be in a popular private tracker . It’s quite imposible for me … I mean wait for slots? A random date? An interview … forget it .

Pirate? No, no... A privateer!

Can’t see that word and not think of Barrett’s Privateers

yup same experience with the freeleech
- You're downloading old and/or unpopular stuff. For you to upload content someone has to be actively downloading that content (that's how the bit torrent protocol works at the most basic level). If you choose some 5 year-old FL of a Game of Thrones pack with 7,000 seeders, that's on you
Use Sonarr or Radarr, it will download content for you as soon as it is available on the tracker. Since people are mostly looking for new stuff it works really well to boost your ratio. I have at least a ratio of 10 (first episode is closer to 20) for every Ahsoka and Futurama episodes. For Asteroid City I'm currently at 18.
- Sonarr and Radarr actually take a bit after the initial upload to discover it, autobrr can grab quicker because it relies on the irc announce channel of the tracker.
I got around this by just downloading some big freeleech porn packs or a couple new release shows/movies. My highest ratio item is an anime episode I downloaded minutes after release
Bonus points?

How do you go about getting an invite to one of these holy grails?

I've never had any need, except for audiobooks. Getting into myanonymouse is just a case of knowing the rules and passing a wee test. Maybe start there?
- No way in hell am I sending anyone my piss to get into a website
- Are there good audiobook trackers? I've used audiobookbay and haven't failed to get a book I want so far
- I recently joined myanonamouse and it's working great so far. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to make my qbitttorrent + vpn docker container accessible for seeding.
- You dont have send it in. Just taste your own on a video call. Safe and private.
It’s a good idea to start with MAM since they have interviews twice a week, and you can access invites for other trackers in the forums once you get to vip (which requires 4 weeks of membership, and a ratio above 2.0)
One of the nicer things about it is that you can gain bonus points (which is how you buy extra upload credit and VIP) just by being an available seed. Due to the shear number of books on the site, you won’t be seeding often, but they make it desirable to keep it available in case someone needs it by giving you a certain number of bonus points per hour depending on various factors.
- That's a lot of work. I can't imagine putting that much effort into downloading, not when Usenet doesn't require anything but a couple dollars a month.
Open signups/interviews then climb up the ladder.
opensignup pages like r/opensignups (now retired) but there are alternatives online, the AvistaZ/CinemaZ/PrivateHD discord has surprise invites and usually they open around christmas and/or black friday.

Look I get that private trackers are probably safer and have a mored dedicated community but personally I still love anyone that keeps it public and keeps the knowledge of torrenting open and available as a tool for new people to discover.

I just use the public torrents, I have an IP Blocklist, and I seed the shit out of the stuff I download if it's got less traction on it.

I will probably find a private group or something once I realize my obscure watching habits leave me out of finding stuff unless I can literally find it physical or get lucky but for now I'm a free pirate.

Could someone explain the benefits? I use public sites and download everything I’ve ever wanted and rarely have to wait more than a few minutes for them to finish. I’m no expert by any measure so I’m probably missing something.

There are three types of private trackers: general, specialty, and niche. A general tracker has most of the newest of everything - tv and movies and music and games, etc. A specialty tracker focuses on a specific media - movies or comics or audiobooks or TV, etc. And a niche tracker focuses on a specific interest - British television, or horror movies, or dnb music.
A general tracker has very similar content to public trackers, though they tend to be more secure. And like public trackers, while they'll have the latest items, and old popular items, they tend to have retention issues.
Since a specialty tracker has a narrower focus, it tends to have deeper archives for it's content. A movie tracker, for example, instead of having just the most recent movies and a back-catalog of older blockbusters, will have those plus a catalog of older, more obscure, less popular content, and it will often offer that content in multiple formats and sizes.
And a specialty tracker goes even deeper for those that have a particular passion for the subject that's covered.
Do you need a private tracker? IMO, most people don't. Most people are happy with what they have, or are happy with what they get from public trackers and other places. It's really only if you're finding yourself unhappy with public trackers - you're not comfortable with the lack of privacy, for example, or you're often looking content that you can't find - that I would suggest looking into private trackers.
- Where do i find private trackers? For Ghibly movies in german?
Makes a difference when you want to get something that's a bit more older or more obscure, you'll notice few to 0 seeds on these public torrents. If you find these titles on a private tracker, you will find it well seeded with high speed peers as most people use seedboxes for seeding the torrents.
First is speed. I've been able to get speeds of ~50MBps (not Mbits) on private trackers, granted this is dependent on Internet connection more than anything but I get 20-50% of that speed on public trackers.
Second is retention and breadth of selection. If you're trying to download the latest Marvel movie then every tracker is gonna have that, but if you're looking for an older movie then it's much harder to find on a public tracker. And if you do find one, it's likely to be seeded by 1 person and you can only squeeze 10KBps out of it.
- Hard disagree. Plenty of private trackers have massive communities of request systems. You want some stupidly obscure movie and it has to be dubbed in Romanian? Private tracker.
  Edit: My comment no longer makes sense after the edit :)!
It's more of a broader benefit for everyone, but there are seems to usually be (a) rule(s) stating you have to seed a minimum amount of torrents to a specific ratio, which I don't fully understand how that works past it helping torrents from completely dying.
Other than that, I don't have a clue since I have never been apart of one.

What's a private tracker? I'm a noob

Can any of you guys with access to private trackers search for "keroro VF" or "Keroro titar" or "Keroro french". Me and several people been looking for it, some for almost half a decade but to no avail. It's a lost media so if you can try finding it on there we'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance !

I also have a request for the theatrical release of Mallrats. All I can find anywhere is the directors cut which is a completely different movie
- Mallrats
  Mallrats 1995 Theatrical Cut 2160p UHD Blu-ray HEVC DTS-HD MA 5.1
- These exist in my super quick search.
  I also probably have the DVD release of Mallrats in my DVD. Rack.
  Mallrats.1995.1080p.BluRay.H264-REFRACTiON
  Mallrats.1995.RA.COMPLETE.BLURAY-REFRACTiON
- What is the difference between those? Never watched mallrats and now i wanna Know where I should start ^^
No luck
- Thanks a lot , any help is very much appreciated ! can you tell me the name of the ones you tried so i can tell the team they're not available there. Again, thanks
Also found none. At least not in french. If you still want it, look on nyaa.
- I searched the whole internet and i didn't find it. Nyaa got dead torrents of the french fansubs of the 2014 reboot of the original 2004 show.
  We're looking for the french dub of 2004 original show. only the first 3 seasons out of 7 were dubbed. They aired till around 2013 on different french kids channels then it dissappeared forever. DVDs were planned but never released.
  Another site i tried and is supposed to have everything is animetosho but no luck either.

- Careful, because 1337 had a recent scandal with Baldars Gate having a crypto malware in it and there was some involvement with the admins on that.
  Seems fine with media, but careful using it for actual executables.
What are their names? I need to make sure I can avoid them
hits every checkbox on radarr and sonarr
If it's public, search it. Bad, good, doesn't matter.
- i do it... and that's bad right?

What's the benefit of using a Private tracker? If you have a VPN shouldn't that cover you?

Private trackers often have rules requiring seeding that keeps all/most of the torrents with a healthier seeding pool.
So faster downloads and less dead torrents. Sometimes greater variety
Private trackers have seeding policies in place that mandate or incentivize keeping torrents alive for extended periods of time. As a result, you see fewer dead torrents and much faster download speeds.

I don't know what this is. I guess I'll read a link one of the comments provided here.

Edit: Nvm. The link didn't explain anything

A private tracker is a torrenting site, like TPB, but is invite-only or has some other barrier to get in. They're usually safer and faster, bur you have to seed. Also YMMV, obscure things might either not be on there, or have few/no seeds.

And there is me, living in a country where I need debrid Services, because sailing into the sea of torrents is too dangerous here

Living and doing it in Germany. Juat need to do your research.
- And i appreciate, that you Do it!
  But i think i should at least read the Mega thread and see how hard/expensiv is in the end.
  i am waaaay to paranoid to do it.

I got suspended for inactivity for all my private music trackers after I got Spotify, I miss them and want to go back now :(

Reminds me I haven't logged into cgpersia in a minute

My main issue with seeding is that I don't always have my pc on and would rather not keep it always on

You can just set your torrent program to open at startup, as long as you use your computer somewhat often you'll be fine. Or you can look into a seedbox, it's cheap
No need for that?

I don't do much torrenting but only direct downloads (3rd world baby!) What are trackers really?

omg its spez. How does it feel to run reddit to the ground?
- Yup, it's spez from fucking Brazil

My first was Oink's Pink Palace back in '05.
