On topic, no one likes a dirty thief, even if it is for fictional media. Who wants to steal lies? Morans, that's who.
Easton Smith
Public trackers just seem like a sekrit club desu.
The best selling point of a private trackers sounds like how they clamp down on leechers and require you to maintain a ratio. Except I've never noticed a torrent being full of leechers and slow because of it. Am I just lucky?
Public trackers justwerk idk mang
Angel Lopez
Its just downloading files from servers meant to host other content. Its fast but has issues like DMCA takedowns unless you get an obfuscated indexer.
Jace Rodriguez
Such ignorance. Private trackers are used because the users are more serious about archiving content. If you only download capeshit, this won't matter to you, but if you actually want rare content archived for you by a friendly community, you need at least one good private tracker.
Christopher Phillips
Why can't they "be serious about archiving content" on a public tracker? I mean, if they're so evangelical, why cloister?
Justin Smith
>Why can't they "be serious about archiving content" on a public tracker?
Because it's the honor system. Nobody honors it. They download and stop seeding. No consequences. No files for you.
Caleb Morgan
>My friend actually bought a usenet account after all this lmfao

Carter Smith
So is the idea that if one person is seeding a torrent and a new person comes along and downloads it, under a private tracker system there is a handoff and the person who was seeding at the beginning can trust the person who downloaded from him to take his place (assuming the original seeder wants to stop stop seeding it)?
Connor Perez
I don't give a shit, if my vidya has public seeders, I'll use it
Mason Moore
Usenet sucks. It's no better then mega shraign which you can do for free. It isn't like it use to be.Stuff gets taken down very quickly.
Elijah Howard
No. Everybody just works together to seed. On good private trackers, the person who is the sole seeder gets the most bonus points, which can be traded for upload credit. Unlike public trackers, you get an incentive to seed.
Zachary Cox

Joshua Perry
Capeshit is exclusively talking about superhero stuff, usually movies about superheroes which tend to be shit.

Evan Martin
Nothing to do with honor. It's actual satisfying bringing a dead torrent back to life. There was this sweet vintage magazine collection that had some really rare stuff. The only guy left to seed had really slow upload speed. It took two months too download. I look at it now and it has 15 seeds. It feels good.

Gee, what a wonderful system. How about you just determine whether or not I deleted the torrent after downloading it by monitoring if it's still at least a little active on my end as a better indicator of whether I'm going to pump and dump?
Evan Collins
you don't need a seedbox.
I don't have a seedbox and I'm on 20 different private trackers.

Jaxon Rogers
Do ISPs not nail you if you use a private tracker?
Mason White
Sounds like Torrentleech. It's basically a scam to get you to donate. The vast majority of trackers have "free" torrents that don't count towards uploads and free days where you can download whatever you want.
Brody Hill
You don't need a seedbox after a couple months of having one. I've got like 8tbs of upload on all my trackers from my seedbox. I don't stop it because my isp basically fucks torrent traffic even if you use a vpn. I couldn't tell you why. So it's easier to use a seedbox and download stuff directly.
Gavin Bennett
amazon rip is already on rarbg
Alexander Carter
Nope. Not in my 5 years of using them. Why do you think we have a /ptg/ thread that has been around for 2 years?
Caleb Cooper
So how does that work then? The people running the pt can sniff out when there's a honeypot?
Angel Phillips
except HBO is now tracking those so public cucks will get a letter in the next 24 hours.
Grayson Diaz
>The people running the pt can sniff out when there's a honeypot?
Uh what. They just secure the tracker as best they can. Public trackers are wide open. They go after the easiest people to monitor, not the ones where 1/3 of the users have seedboxes and are behind a secure environment where a couple dozen people can just ban you if you do something shady.
Josiah Ross
>get a private tracker >aren't allowed to download anything unless you upload something extremely obscure that doesn't even exist Wow, rly makes u tink
Juan Robinson
>aren't allowed to download anything unless you upload something extremely obscure that doesn't even exist
Every user can download as soon as they get the account.
Only 40% of users actually upload to private trackers and almost all of those people just upload 1 thing.
Mason Wright
I have never uploaded a single torrent and I'm part of like a dozen private trackers.
Adam Sullivan
never got a letter and I seed those torrents for weeks
Austin Campbell
Same here. 5 private trackers and never uploaded anything.
Robert Powell
I can understand a private tracker for western shit and games, but what would you need an anime private tracker for? Never once have I had issues getting what I wanted from a pub tracker, and the few times I did it was something so obscure that none of the private trackers had it either.

OKAY GIVE ME A PRIVATE TRACKER THAT I CAN GET INTO WITHOUT SACRIFICING A VIRGIN AND SELLING MY SOUL TO SATAN. I JUST WATCH MOVIES AND TV SHOWS
Josiah Price
This has never happened to me and I've been torrenting for 7 years. Sure there will be that one show that's not on piratebay never have I found anything without at least one seeder
Carter Wood
IPT. It's a scam tracker that pretends its not a business but it is easy to join and easy to survive on. Ask for an invite on /ptg/.
Hudson Martinez
>never have I found anything without at least one seeder
you probably only watch popular shit.
Benjamin Harris
I was going to try getting on what.cd to get some music I couldn't torrent on other sites. Aaaand... it got shut down... I don't torrent that much otherwise so, public trackers are fine with me.
Ian Cooper
I never needed something that wasn't available on public trackers anime or otherwise.
I'm still waiting for the day when I actually have to ask someone on /ptg/ to grab a torrent for me from one of their sekrit pirate clubs.
And those who get letters because copyright agencies saw their IP address on a torrent deserve to be cucked. Get a seedbox you fucktards
Henry Fisher
what.cd was replaced by redacted.

Kind of defeats the purpouse of torrenting.
The more popular, the more seeds, the faster it downloads. Peer to peer is not meant to work in secreet klub 5 seeders 1 leech scenarios.
Leo Collins
I wonder what kind of super obscure movies you guys watch, I know a couple of cinephiles and they don't even pirate
Jason Edwards
>I never needed BakaBT is private now, you were lucky but wouldn't be able to redo your collection at this point in time.
Gavin Peterson
>Peer to peer is not meant to work in secreet klub 5 seeders 1 leech scenarios.
Speed has nothing to do with sharing as long as data is actually shared.
Bentley Bailey
>I wonder what kind of super obscure movies you guys watch,
I personally watch mostly horror, documentaries and indie films that are only uploaded on private trackers. I've only seen like 25% of them make their way to public trackers.
Ryder Price
good joke. it isn't how the hell did you get that retarded idea? and in this whole "scene" there is nothing where you get more cucked than with torrents where you have to seed. wanna know why? I don't have to waste my bandwith on forced seeding, or for that matter there is nothing forced when using trials.
Cameron Wright
This is why it works on a small community basis. There's agreed upon social contracts that are incentivized by a shared goal and reward. Plus people are socially motivated anyway so it's comfy. Far from muh liberal. More like libertarian heaven in action, dumb faggot
Nathan Ramirez
>it isn't how the hell did you get that retarded idea?
With trials, you have to keep entering your credit card info and then canceling before the period is over. You have to do this for every trial. Fuck that. That's way more work than me just leaving my torrent box on.
>I don't have to waste my bandwith on forced seeding
What does this even mean? I paid my internet bill. I'm not paying extra for people to download from me. No matter where I upload to, whether its sending files to friends, putting files on cloud shit or seeding to private tracker bros, its all the same shit. There's no waste at all. It's limitless and doesn't bother me at all.
Owen Gray
The point is that it doesn't work on public trackers because it's a typical tragery of the commons scenario. Also, libertarians are just liberals who blame the government instead of blaming corporations. If you had any balls, you'd blame both.
Liam Hill
Speaking personally. I do.
I'm socially liberally but a pragmatist so I wouldn't wed myself to an ideology or some wedge issue. But yeah I don't disagree that it's not viable on a wide scale.
Robert Roberts
how the shit do i enable automatic torrent management for qbittorrent-nox on linux, there's no setting for it in the webui. I'm running it on a headless machine
Blake Flores

Jeremiah Ramirez
>With trials, you have to keep entering your credit card info and then canceling before the period is over. ok if that were the universal case then i would agree, it isn't though so you are wrong websites like hitnews require no such thing which is why it's possible to get infinite free accounts. >What does this even mean? the word that is important is forced if you don't seed then the private trackers will throw you out. and consider the following, people do more than just seeding with their upstream so if i am forced to seed i am unable to use that bandwidth for other things like sending files to friends. but yes sure if the bandwidth doesn't bother you then that's fine. it doesn't change my main point
Logan Wright
> >click magnet...no seeders. Not even the one that sends you the torrent file Stale pasta. You are a bad person and you should feel bad.
Brody Cooper
>websites like hitnews require no such thing which is why it's possible to get infinite free accounts.
3 day trial? And don't you have to make a new email each time? Fuck that. Seriously. That's way more work than me just leaving my home torrent box on.
>if you don't seed then the private trackers will throw you out.
So what? My upload on all these trackers is in the terabytes. Seeding is nothing to somebody who already leaves their PC on and I don't even leave my PC on. I leave my ARM-based NAS on 24/7 which is the point of a NAS.
>people do more than just seeding with their upstream so if i am forced to seed i am unable to use that bandwidth for other things like sending files to friends.
Consider this. I'm not always being downloaded from. When I am, I can just pause my client and do the occasional file transfer, which is much rarer than somebody actually downloading a torrent from me. It's quite simple to manage your bandwidth anyway. It never impedes normal browsing and with QOS you can just prioritize bandwidth automagically.
Nolan Morales
Jokes on you, I have a BakaBT, and numerous times I needed something that wasn't available there. Now that they are private I visit that site even less. There is just no need. Also, I don't agree with a lot of things that site does such as admins not allowing the latest versions of several clients right away (like qBt) and the seemingly arbitrary blacklist.
Christian Murphy

I don't care about movies/tv/music, I can get anime from Nyaa and I buy video games. The one thing that fucking sucks is western cartoons. Right now I just look for MEGA links shared in Sup Forums for new episodes before they get removed. What private tracker is good for old and recent cartoons, and how do I get an invite? Unfortunately my current upload speed is kind of shit, but I have no problem seeding forever.
Kevin Howard
cock.li literally 1 minute for a free mail, also hitnews is one of many providers. >So what? My upload on all these trackers is in the terabytes. i guess this is a thing we have to agree to disagree. this is not something that i find acceptable but you seem to find it ok it's just as with cucks most people wouldn't want to watch their wife get fucked by someone else, but there is always someone who likes it.
