So I’ve not seen it mentioned before, but if you want to start getting into private trackers, you can check out the private tracker general thread (/ptg/) on the /g/ board of 4chan
4chan is what it is, but there is a lot of good info in just the OP (please read the OP entirely before posting, I beg of you), and that’s how I got into private trackers
PS: you wont get any invite, dont ask for them
I hate private trackers and I think they should be a thing of the past
Why?
Because they’re needlessly elitist and self-congratulating. The whole point of piracy is to spread stuff, not gatekeep it. Enforce quality control, vet those who can upload, put checks and limits, maybe even put rules against hit and runs, but do not close the access to downloading stuff to anyone.
And yet these places succeed in creating true archives because they don’t allow free loaders
People who think like you do so because you don’t appreciate the effort that’s put into creating an environment where torrents don’t die.
From those top sites stuff can then be spread via people making requests at more accessible trackers.
