Why do you still use public torrents?
The best way to torrent is privately with people who can't exploit your altruism.

>>no incentive to keep seeding because of malicious actors or copyright scum that scare people off from seeding
if this was true torrents wouldnt exist, you seed because you're White (above 80iq), because you understand that sharing information online in a decentralized non-censorable way is a moral requirement, especially given that its basically free to do to anyone without datacaps (again, non shithole globohomo HQ countries)

Everyone uses qBittorrent, you can just block certain clients.

You're not seeding for free you're doing your part to keep what you downloaded alive. That's like saying paying money for food is cucked.

I download exclusively from public trackers.
I also remux my remuxes to remove any languages that aren't English, redundant subtitles and the "title" information so I don't see any ugly scene release tags. For example, why would I want to see "SCENT.OF.A.WOMAN-(1992)-4K_BD-UHD-reMUX_.SWEATYBALLS-FAGGOT" every time I play my movie? I simply rename it to "Scent of a Woman (1992)"
Naturally, this changes the file so I not only REFUSE to seed, I physically can't!

All this schizobabble just to admit you're a total newfag. All of those issues have been part and parcel of torrenting since torrenting was a thing. Torrenting isn't like your gay little private trackers that make you go through interviews like you're trying to get a job and will oust you if you don't give a perfect 1:1 seed:leech ratio. There have always been and always will be people who download the shit they want to download and shut it off after they get what they want. None of this is new.

Please enlighten me how it's possible to seed the same file after changing the FILE HASH by removing tracks from the .mkv, thus changing it into a different file from the original torrent.

airvpn gives you like 30mb/s which is pretty slow but I usually prepare a list and just download everything for 3 days. buying a month worth of vpn is better value but some vpn's make google unusable and I can't in 4chan because some anon used the vpn.
So not using the vpn is ideal, but I think I could use a VM to do all the torrenting if I wanted to.
I mostly download hentai games and the site just uses multipart links which has like 5 popup ads per link (noscript helps), older hentai games need to be torrented (but it's not like anyone is tracking them). some games on fitgirl / etc have web links as well.

There's only 3 major HDD manufacturers left, so not much competition to drive prices down. The HDD market is much smoler than it used to be (pic related).

This implies that the parameters that grants you access to the secret club are meritocratic but they are not, it's all about knowing someone or being early, I could be the most motivated person to contribute ever but it doesn't matter because I was late.

New private trackers are made every week, they are not going anywhere anytime. Invites are only a problem if you are a loser and don't have friends.

Same. You can just rip shit off Deezer and upload it, see https://rentry.org/firehawk52 but I'm probably going to end up paying for a racing seedbox to get my ratio up on RED. I care about obscure music and download a lot of it. It will be cheaper than buying it off bandcamp or buying vinyl.

I have uncapped internet and 600mbit upload speed. I only use private trackers because I only want to share with other people who are also sharing. I get a better selection of content with more seeds. I download at faster speeds because I'm not relying on 2 or 3 people who are also seeding more than 100 other torrents and having their connection raped day and night. I'm not trying to be that guy.

exactly. private trackers are functional MLMs where supply is constricted into basically zero growth despite demand, which becomes negative growth if you consider that many become dispassionate with the topic of the tracker yet still maintain their status out of sunk cost. it then forces monopolistic behavior by way of enforced exclusivity (ie. with punishment) and cabal behavior / incest (invites based on credentials from other cliques). both factors work together to choke out the entire higher quality piracy scene and has stagnated it for a dozen years. worse if you considered the deteriorating scene culture.

The fact is that private trackers do a better job of preserving content that public trackers do and that's why I only seed on private trackers.
>>
>>102129124
We have what we need on the private trackers already. If you were some kind of missing link you would probably have friends who you exchange things with who could invite you in. I did not need to bother with recruitment or other BS, my friends invited me. I have a good reputation with all of my friends for sharing all kinds of things with them so they see me as the right type of guy to invite to a private tracker.

>>102137085
Having had experience with both the scene and private trackers I disagree with what you are saying a lot. There are problems with private trackers but they're not quite what you are thinking. Let's say I buy a rare bluray disc and upload it. Is it fair that 10 seedboxes jump onto the swarm and many of them get more upload than I did for providing some fresh new content with my own money? I don't care about how the private trackers operate or the culture of exclusivity, besides thinking it's dumb to try to stop people from leaking content posted on them. I do feel that any effort you put in should be rewarded fairly though and just how much you upload shouldn't be the only thing that's taken into account, it should also be what you upload. A cheap shared seedbox slot will reward you more on trackers than providing new content. In a scene group if you're providing new content you are treated to leech slots.
>>
>>102137120
sure. preserving content so that their little inner circle of autistic trannies can exclusively access it. bleh. the spirit of piracy is the unstoppable and ungovernable transfer and distribution of highly accessible digital information. private trackers are in complete opposition to this. the only difference between them and the RIAA is that they're free sometimes.
>>
>>102137167
Most of what is on public trackers comes from private ones anyway. You faggots just don't keep it seeded.
>>
>>102137146
what have you "disagreed with", nigger? you haven't listed a single argument yet you went off on a tangent about the obvious: that the troon elites disregard quality uploaders. that has no bearing on the exclusivity of the files to the ingroup, which itself has naturally become the main incentive for uploaders, the same way an unpaid janitor gets paid in worship and powertrips.
>>
>>102137204
There are more than enough quality uploads so what do I care? When I buy something I share it with the same community I already took so much from. It's not the most fair system possible but it's better than nearly every other option.
>>
>>102137195
we'd all be better off if the autists just seeded public torrents instead of thinking that being in private trackers makes them cooler.
>>
>>102137222
the system itself is fucked, midwit. what you do to cope with it is entirely irrelevant to the discussion. that's like saying it's okay to squat because rent is too damn high. I'm still not going to live out of an office turned rat's nest where I sleep where I shit.
there is no inherent mechanism to guarantee the longevity of private torrents, btw. it only comes as a result of more eyes on the same set of data. in theory, a well curated public tracker could fare just as well. not saying that's the solution I'd go with, when I have better ones in mind.

>>102137300
Public shitters already had rarbg feeding them everything from private trackers? What did they do with it? Keep the 1-2gb transcodes well seeded and let the high quality files die. The people on private trackers have a different set of interests. They're willing to cooperate to make a shared goal a success. They want high quality files and rare content. They are willing to keep it seeded to maintain access to it. This thread is filled with public tracker users who insist you're a cuck if you seed. They scoff at your generosity if you provide it to them. They don't care how shitty they make it for everyone else, themselves included because their mentality is that of the whole herd. Your faggot libertarian idealism won't change that. You can spend your money for seedboxes like rarbg did. You can feed the masses. But they aren't going to do a damn thing for you in return. That's why rarbg doesn't exist now.
>>
>>102137344
rarbg was literally scene-only, retard. it worked great, too. it went down because the retard host wasn't satisfied with the ad money he was getting from that cancer site.
I won't be discussing improvements to longevity here because I intend to keep that to myself. like you do with your gayass files, dirty squatter
>>
>>102137412
They also provided files from various groups that weren't scene but actually originated on private trackers like BTN for example. I highly doubt they paid for a leech slot on a scene site like general trackers do. It was obvious they were just grabbing all the scene releases from private trackers along with selected p2p releases.

I once saw a video about some Private tracker getting taken down. I think it was about music or something. The video made it seem like the Library of Alexandria had burned.

But it made me think, wouldn’t all the torrents still stick around?
Public trackers die and then get spun up again all the time.
So since the private site is gone at that point, wouldn’t people just disclose the addresses? Not like they’d get banned anymore.
Has this happened to any private trackers that have ‘died’?
There’s just no way those torrents disappear into the ether.

that requires massive coordination amongst the seeders, who have mostly lost their method of communicating and identifying each other. Private trackers of tier 1 size should be building themselves to be redundant in the case of disaster, but they aren't because it's all narcissistic trannies who would rather see it burn than not be in charge anymore.
>>
>>102139647
the most important part is that although they're private, most users are very normal
you have to think of them as normal consumers with their dumb reactions
certain bad torrents won't be deleted because they have lots of seeds, seeds that won't be recouped by simply freeleeching the new one
so, if the private tracker goes down, all of the torrents are bad because they're tied to the domain name
even if you make a new site, most of the content that each user has won't be available soon enough because redownloading and rechecking is mentally expensive on regular users
it takes a pretty long while to get back on top
RED, the successor to WCD that you've mentioned, is huge with 3million music torrents, being far bigger than WCD, but it still doesn't have the entire catalogue that WCD had

Speaking of torrents, since I mostly watch stuff on my pc anyway, I might like to move away from an always running radarr/sonarr box.

I have said it many times and I say it again. I will not register, I will not beg for access. I will download what I want to download, when I want to download and how download.

In america, they -usually- sell upload separately from download. So even if you get the 300mbps package, chances are most of them still only have 10mpbs upload or something low.
Running a seedbox and choking your upload causes the download seem to lag (I'm guessing from requests that use upload).
On top of that, some of these companies sell internet with a data cap plan and they definitely monitor how much internet is being used and sometimes even using 2TB a month causes alarms where they're like "only torrenting uses that much data, we know it's not a combination of streaming, steam, and tiktok because they don't use that much data".
Thing is, I still seed, but it's only a mere 128kbps so I can get around everything. Even then, my little seedbox barely has HDD space to hold every torrent I download.
It just sucks that if you don't download something in time, you might have missed the train. For example, I'm still trying to download barnwood builders since 6 years ago.

You can't even upload torrents to public trackers anymore because of the fake contrent and viruses that shitty people would upload. Meanwhile, any member of a private tracker can upload good content because private trackers are heavily policed to keep shit out.

One of the many reasons that private trackers are superior.

>>102148488
Public trackers just source content from private ones. Without private trackers public bottom feeders would have nothing to download.

>>102148413
It's not that the upload is sold separately it's that docsis cable internet is very common. They use channel bonding to get very fast speeds for download but the return path for upload isn't given as many channels.

I don't know where this caricature came from. Were I'm from, those who torrent are somewhat geeky type; they may not go to extra length to seed but they certainly do not laugh at those who seed and they're definitely grateful.
In my case, I seed to give back what I've taken. If some only leech, I don't much care; I've got what I need and there are numerous others I can rely on. And I lose nothing by seeding; I've got unlimited bandwidth.

it's a pattern I've noticed with dweeb posts here, the most basic RL interaction where you're supposed to act with some minimum amount of good will and decency towards strangers is getting elevated to a virtue. See also: not smell in public
there's no way op seedbox is on 2 mbps ADSL where seeding/not seeding would make any perceptible difference, yet my eyes were violated by the faggot expecting a medal for seeding a torrent or he considers it an "exploitation"

I pay 50 bux per month. I'm not poor so I'm not going to bitch about the price. Maybe the line belongs to the ISP or whatever but I don't care, I'm not opening things up for bottom feeders and parasites. Only private tracker users can download from me.

>>102151651
It's not being wasted by them because I would never allow it to be. I only seed on private trackers where how much I upload is counted and applies to how much I am able to download. I prefer this to the thankless task of feeding freeloaders.

>>
>>102151767
Money is no issue anon. I'm not a fucking retard so I spend it on things that are actually a good value for it. Sure, I could work around the issue of my isp being CGNAT by buying a higher tier of service and paying extra for a static IP but then I'm still seeding with Asian peering and paying to run a server with expensive electricity. Paying for a gbit+ server in the Netherlands or France gets around that much more effectively and I don't need to do it forever, just long enough to get my ratios up. Then I have more money to spend on other shit like going out to eat all the time and traveling.

Same with me on private torrents anon. I just don't agree with doing it for people that think I am a retard for seeding to them, ok? Is that too hard for you to understand? You may be fine with seeding to people who think are you dumb for seeding but I am not. Simple as.

>ratio"""maxxed"""
you're the cancer that's killing private trackers. by hoarding ratio you're reducing total liquidity in the tracker and making it hard for casuals to gain ratio for leeching. tribler made a whole ass paper and presentation on this. you're the billionaire that chokes out the middle class. you're the reason nobody wants to be on private trackers.

>>102150281
you only see keyboard warrior machos online that brag about it, probably with some frog image attached. the armchair psychologist in me says they're doing it out of some certain guilt, that's not enough to change their ways (cause brown) but just enough to have the fact that they freeleech live rent free in their heads.
for every mentally ill retard kike the above, you have 99 other dudes including me who are grateful to those they leech from. what's great about public trackers is there's plenty of goodwill to be given. it's extremely easy to get 1000 ratio on publics; that's 989 people across the wire that's grateful of you. in contrast, being seeded on PTs is a given and no one thinks anything of you for doing so. it's entirely transactional. nothing wrong with that if you're just holding equal ratio, but it does make you look like a cuckold when you hoard ratio in a place like this.
it's so easy to get goodwill in fact, that I often find myself only keeping torrents with high leeches around for seeding. it's probably why public torrents are bad at retention, but that's just because torrents aren't built to be like freenet/limewire/napster/usenet. it solves a distribution problem and does so fantastically, even if it never thought much about availability. and no PTs are not the answer.
>>
>>102152129
my biggest pain point with privateniggers is I use aria2 in permaseeding mode (--seed-ratio=0.0) but they ban it for no reason
>>
>>102152129
>you're the cancer that's killing private trackers. by hoarding ratio you're reducing total liquidity in the tracker and making it hard for casuals to gain ratio for leeching. tribler made a whole ass paper and presentation on this. you're the billionaire that chokes out the middle class. you're the reason nobody wants to be on private trackers.
There are always new opportunities to get buffer. You don't necessarily need a seedbox if a good connection is available to you. One strategy I used was downloading stuff from BTN where it's ratioless then seeding it on HDB. There's a constant stream of content so there's always more buffer to be made that way. That's just one example. If nobody wanted to be on private trackers the best ones wouldn't be so fucking hard to get into. At the lowest end there's the general trackers which will be good enough for a lot of people and they are easy mode with all the freeleech.

I don't download capeshit because that's not what I'm interested in. I have weird tastes, sometimes mainstream sometimes not, but more often than not I would struggle to get what I like from public shitters. If ever I download capeshit it's usually because my wife's brother asked me or something. I can download stuff like that off IPT.
>>
>>102152269
ok give us 100 non-capeshit titles
hardmode: not westslop movieshit
>>
>>102152147
their rationale for banning random clients despite the ratio tracking is because the ratio tracking itself is extremely defective. torrents were never meant to be used the way it did there. literally rhe only change PTniggers did to make it private was add a query param to the tracker announce in a .torrent to serve as credentials to the swarm list. everything else making it work comes from tranny moderation heuristics, tranny policies, and tranny fud to keep the populace in check.
>>102152152
you can come up with all the tranny incentives you want, that dynamic will always be a constant <> force that saps all <> away from the casual member. blanking out the terms so PTroons can keep running in circles trying to figure this shit out, which is funny to me. resurrecting the tribler paper is already a bit too generous on my part.

I could just take a screenshot of all my torrents from redacted but then I'd be /marked/. I like music better than anything else.

Who cares about casual users? If you're a casual you can get into IPT or TL. Then you can either do it the smart way and build buffer off only downloading freeleech torrents or do it the dumb way by paying to leech.

what's a non-capeshit tracker? KG? CG? SC? Have those, too.
>>
>>102152508
The initial swarm is the most important for the torrent. A lot of people are using automation software to download. All those seedboxes feed them. Bonus points and hit and run rules encourage retention. Pump and dump can't be done on most trackers because of the rules. You can remove hit and runs using your buffer or points on IPT and TL but that's not worth it if you're trying to profit.
>>
>initial swarm is very heckin important
wrote like a publicfaggot
>>
>>102152599
It is when people are using *arr type shit. You get far fewer people downloading 1-2 weeks later after the period for hnrs expires. Even then a small private tracker swarm absolutely btfos a large public tracker swarm speed wise. If you shit in the street you just can't compete.
>>
>>102152611
