Yeah but I don’t want to have to deal with community drama, upload requirements, minimum seed ratios that you can’t hit because you aren’t downloading popular enough torrents, applying to get in like it’s some fucking C-level job application… Some of us pirate because we want content, not because it’s a lifestyle.
The private trackers I’m on also give “credits” for seeding time in addition to seed ratio, so even if not a lot of people are grabbing data from me, I can still download more by keeping my files always seeding.
Now, I’m not in any “big” or “classic” tracker, so maybe this is only a thing on the Smaller/Newer PTs, that being said they have everything I want so 🤷
Just fuckin with ya. Those are all valid gripes. I guess I got in on the scene way early through invites from friends and so I’ve hardly ever had to go through any interview process. I think the only place I “interviewed” was baconbits and it wasn’t really an interview since I mostly just shared evidence of good ratio on other trackers with long-lived accounts. I’ve had an account in good standing on Cinemageddon for… 18 years as of next month. Getting over that initial hump made it pretty easy to get in with good standing, and most decent trackers aren’t that hard to get good ratio on.

I recently joined a private tracker and your comment about s job interview cracked me off cause it really was like that

Autobrr is the cheat code for this. Set it and forget it, come back in a month and you have 5 terabytes of buffer
