You don't really rely on public trackers, do you?
>>108404295I only use the pirate bay. I'm not joking
>>108404295I'm not subjecting myself to the interrogation private trackers require. Some won't even allow VPN's at all.
>>108404298Anon...
>>108404298Which one, since there are so many? ;^)
I've used a DHT scraper exclusively for a very long time now. Public only is the way I prefer, much more convenient. I'm sick of having to log in to places to avoid pruning.
>>108404298Get with the times old man, there are entire megathreads with alternatives these days. At the very least, you should know BTDig, ext.to and Knaben. I'm probably forgetting a bunch, I've got a ton of them bookmarked, but most are meh.
>>108404308ThisDHT only
>>108404295nyaa has had everything I've ever needed.
>>108404308>Some won't even allow VPN's at all.For browsing the site sure.I don't know of any private tracker that stops you from using a VPN to seed/leech/peer with.
>>108404308I got a what.cd invite from some guy on /mu/ in 2012 and then the rest of the trackers from what.cd forums. Skill issue if you're even facing an interview
I dont know the secret handshake to get private ones
>>108404475And why the hell would I trust some tracker that's run by who knows more than the peers?
>>108404295I don't socialize so I never get invite codes 1337x is good enough for all of my needs
>>108404295I once joined a private tracker.There wasn't anything exceptional on it.I downloaded a handful of things.I then tried to seed them to keep my seed ratio up, but nobody would download from me.After my ratio had gotten too low, I couldn't download from anyone one else anymore.But still nobody was downloading from me, so I was stuck.I could've paid money to continue donwloading more stuff, but I'm not a fucking retard that pays money to torrent media.
>>108404897Private trackers are same sort of circle jerks as any other closed groups.I'd imagine in order to survive such group you would need to whore yourself and publish popular torrents instead of the stuff what you are personally interested in...
>>108404295I've been 10 years on AB and Jpopsuki. /g/ gave me invites but that doesn't happen anymore.
>>108404475>be a glowie>know that website is a tracker distributing illegal software copies>sees anon connecting to it multiple times>clearly not accidental link click>send the boys to check his drivesYou don't even need to monitor the swarm, just the fact that you browsed a tracker puts a target on you, nobody goes there just to chat with others lmao. I can't believe people are retarded enough to not understand it.
>>108404471we use nekoBT now unc
>>108404308>interrogation private trackers requireTorrentLeech does not have any interviews ;)
>>108404295I'm using oneclickhoster like rapidgator, works like charm
I'll paste what I wrote on /t/ since some of you public tracker users are in dire need of help>a private tracker user's comprehensive guide to being a public user in 2026https://eztv.wf/https://rutracker.org/https://uindex.org/TPB's sketchiness is mitigated by their verification scheme. A lot of these uploaders are just bots. Like "TvTeam" is the same as this uindex site I'm recommending. But I recommend just going to these places because you're going direct to the source. Learn other sites like 1337x or whatever all the normies use but treat them as backups.For TV eztv and uindex will cover your needs for the latest stuff. For movies you can look to rutracker for high quality remuxes of not extremely recent ones. They focus on their Russian users because it is a site for Russian people. You need to make an account to search and use the site properly but don't worry about that hurdle. Just clear it and it's no issue. For the most recent movies uindex is a great resource and has the latest scene/p2p releases so you can get the new WEB-DLs which is where you'll find rutracker lacking.https://fmhy.net/audio#audio-ripping-siteshttps://nicotine-plus.org/For high quality music this is what you want. The FMHY redditors keep an up to date list of sites that rip from streaming services. They can help you get what you need in the exact format you need it in. They source lossless from the legitimate streaming services so if that's what you like it's there. If not you can either do your own conversion once you get the FLACs or you can choose for the site to do it for you using the javascript version of ffmpeg they load. Easy.The Nicotine link is an open source client for Soulseek. The old reliable p2p network where people still do things the old fashioned way. You can look for things that streaming doesn't have there. Be sure to share files or else most users will ban you. It's nice to help the unfortunate souls that don't know about the ripping sites.
>bonus adviceOn uindex slop transcodes (WEBRIP) dominate for movies, even though they will provide you with the original source. Watch out for the group names that signal quality, like BYNDR or ETHEL. Also the source names that signal quality too like AMZN or MA. Files from sources of questionable quality (pre-retail, weird leaks) are here. Maybe you want them so you can watch the movie before it goes on sale. Maybe you don't. If you think that stuff is intolerable slop pay attention to release schedules and don't take offers that seem to good to be true. If it says WEB-DL it's a p2p release. If it says WEB it's a scene release. If it says WEBRiP it's probably slop. Scene cares more about speed so you'll get ETHEL rushing out iTunes before BYNDR on p2p does higher quality sources like AMZN and MA. If you're not a private tracker autist you might simply think "diminishing returns" and grab whatever is convenient. Getting good quality doesn't need to mean obsessing over the best quality all the time. Just don't download slop. If it's a movie exclusive to Netflix or Amazon p2p and scene will be identical so all of that goes out the window.
>>108404461been playing with bitmagnet after spotting it on a thread about archival last week. it's a locally-hosted dht scraper.wasn't actively looking for one but i have been wanting another source of torrents since most sites won't work in prowlarr anymore due to cuckflare.it's been running for 8 days and it's picked up 3.3 million torrents, unlike the dht sites i've seen this also does content type matching and tv/film lookups/tags so it's surprisingly suited for use in prowlarr/sonarr/radarr
>>108404943Some trackers have legal torrents that aren't violating copyright, surprising I know.
>>108404409okay but which ones replaced KAT and RarBG?
>>108405831uindex is an okay replacement for rarbg not perfect, 1337x is a replacement for kat
>>108404478>I got into private trackers over a decade ago when getting into one was as easy as taking a piss, so if you didn't luck out like me you suck and I'm better than you :^)If you don't want to beat every single private tracker fag with your bare hands into a pulp, you don't hate them enough.
>>108405952It's not my fault that you waited too long. It's not getting any easier. Getting angry and being a little pissbaby about it on 4chan isn't going to change anything. Remember us shitposters here don't make the rules. We're just users.
Private trackers were actually more chill and much better back in the day. Much easier to get into, too. Nowadays they're full of rulefags, beggars with 0 self-respect and schizo jannies who think they're in the gestapo or something. Fuck that. They deserve to lose every single user.
>>108404475Man fuck that, I'm not toggling shit on and off just to use their fucking site.
>>108405972You use this site without any issue so I don't know what your problem is lmao
i have an old iptorrents account and check there first for most things, except anime which is obviously nyaa. audiobookbay for audiobooksext.to for games that iptorrents doesn't havei have a music subscription so that's about the extent of it
>>108404295I don't even torrent.
>>108405977You can use split tunneling to turn it off on some sites
>>108405963I was actually on a bunch of private trackers back in the day, but lost interest and most of my accounts got deactivated, because you have to be a slave for the tracker owners and actively seed shit and treat it like a full time job. Fuck that.
>>108404295Shit man, I just pay debrid a minimal fee to do all the make-work for me so I just click play and watch what I want. Used to have a whole Jackett/Sonarr/Radarr + Jellyfin setup to do it all, but it just feels so clunky in comparison.
>>108404295>Ahhh, what a beautiful sunny and windy morning in south-eastern EVROPA, time to sit down in my comfortable gaming chair and use my lovely linux operating system and startup my favorite qbittorrent program. *clicks thickly onto wired mouse*>yep! looks like all downloads are finished, let me just make sure that my settings are still set to pause instantly after 0 seconds are done once download is finished and that upload is capped to 5kbs, yep looks good!>time to download some kino from ext.to and 1337x.to again! *cracks fingers and leeches*yep, good time.
>>108405992>a shitter who doesn't seedYeah you're not needed.
>>108406003Of course the shitter that caps his upload to dialup speeds uses the worst torrent sites.
>>108406010Indian level reading comprehension. My accounts didn't get deactivated because I wasn't seeding, they got deactivated for inactivity. I always seeded torrents. The problem is that you can't take a break from these sorts of websites, or they'll deactivate your accounts.
>>108406020I read exactly what you said. You think being a useful member of the community is slavery. You are a useless leech. Nobody wants you. Go download BEN THE MEN encodes from 1337x.to like mister EVROPA here. You contribute nothing and are just dead weight lmao. You rely on handouts from people who forget to stop their clients from seeding. You will forever be on the bottom rung. Your parents are of inferior stock. You are too poor to afford the electricity to leave your computer running. You stink like shit. You do not have sex. I do not pity you. I laugh at you. Your pathetic existence amuses me.
>>108406020If you were pruned for inactivity most sites have a grace period of 1-2 years hour automatic "free" account reactivation.Obviously if you wait long enough they're not going to reactivate though.
>>108406043>Look at me, I'm a nigger rulefag and a good good goy for janny! I live to serve my betters!Pathetic. We need to unironically exterminate every member of your subhuman subservient ilk.
>>108406050>years hourYears for
>>108406058Yeah it's really fucking hard just to leave my computer running. That $2 extra on my monthly bill is going to really break my bank. Stop replying to me I can smell you through the screen you impoverished destitute pile of manure.
>>108406050It's probably been close to a decade, so of course they won't. I'm not even going to bother. I'll leave begging and groveling before jannies to losers like: >>108406043
>private trackersactually worse than nyaa
>>108406075You're the one that literally couldn't leave a torrent seeded lmao how fucking poor and stupid are you? How did that cardboard you had for dinner tonight taste?
>>108406069It's not about not being able to seed, low IQ retard with the reading comprehension of a slum dwelling jeet with one braincell rattling in his retard head. I have a few low power, low noise mini PCs for various purposes that I seed stuff from 24/7, and I can afford to rent seedboxes. Seeding is literally not a problem. The problem is the expectation that you can't ever take a break and you have to stay there and seed forever, or they'll lock you out. What the fuck?
>>108404295yeah cause i can’t be bothered to seedthat’s why i use a debrid service not my problem
>>108406084>He's still going on about seeding when that's not even what I'm talking aboutRope, retarded brownoid.
We love BEN, he's the MEN, he has our back again and again.His encodes might be slop but he will never ever stop.No pretension, no elitism, no need to rent them, you can keep them.Hard drive small? 500GB from a market in Bangalore? One size fits all. Don't cry no more.
>>108406075>It's probably been close to a decade, so of course they won't. I'm not even going to bother.It's not that serious. Join the irc support channel ask if they can re-enable it. Takes 15 minutes at most.
>>108406099That's not how private trackers work. Now I know that rules as a concept make you seethe but if you actually read them you would understand that they are more flexible than you think they are. But whatever. You ignored the inactivity rules which focus more on logging in than seeding. You failed to do what most of us do which is keep bookmarks of all the trackers we are on, including the ones we barely give a fuck about to log into maybe once a month so our accounts won't go inactive.
>>108406126Can't be bothered honestly. I don't have 15 minutes to spare for some crusty-eyed power tripping mall cop janny.>>108406131>JUST BE A GOOD GOY AND DON'T BREAK EVEN THE MOST RIDICULOUS RULESLol.
>>108406126My last account reactivation took 4 hours of waiting in an IRC room until I got a PM from the mod asking for my account name. Didn't ask for anything else, 4 minutes later and my account was active again.
>>108404295the absolute state of private tracker cucks
i don't have time for private tracker bullshit.
>>108406170>>108406188Say what you will about private tracker users. But public tracker users are so fucking dumb the minute the subject comes up they start praising the worst ones. We know public trackers better then they do. Without private trackers there would be nothing worth downloading on public trackers. The supply chain would collapse.
>>108406190thanks or something. i just don't want to spend more time on piracy than actual enjoyment.
>>108406190cuck
>>108406203>he thinks we do thislmao>>108406208Don't just spam cuck. Tell me why you think I'm a cuck. Entertain me.
>>108406217don't act like you're not 900737% aware of your fully cucked status, you've "grinded" hard for it, remember? hah, ur welcome
>>108406234I didn't grind hard for shit. My friends from IRC invited me in. I uploaded some stuff to the tracker I was on because I felt like it. Years of account age combined with those uploads meant I was able to join any other trackers I wanted to when I realized the invite forum existed. Grinding is for neons. I'm grandfathered in.
>>108406247ur breath stinks of cum cuck, kys, now go back to irc to work on your cuck grind some more, you're welcome, cuck
>>108406261Go easy on him. This guy is not used to people telling him what they think about him, having been surrounded by obedient, well-behaved little rulefaggots all his life.
>>108406261Keep screeching. It doesn't bother me. /ptg/ is here to stay no matter how many times you try to shit it up. We will mine your seethe until your parents wise up and put you in an institution.
>>108406272Yeah man fuck the rules anarchy woo! Everyone should be allowed to upload everything! Your tracker is shit if it doesn't allow BEN.THE,.MEN and YTS!
>>108406289Don't act stupid, little bitch, you should know better than anyone that the "rules" go way beyond quality on private trackers. They are bordering on obsessive psycho freak control. Jannies on PTs keep tabs on everyone and surveil their trackers more strictly than the fucking NSA. Now sit down and shut the fuck up.
>>108406308Yeah it would be much better if they allowed everyone to upload slop and didn't ban retards
>>108406319>Ban retardsA.k.a. anyone they don't like for whatever arbitrary reason. Fuck that. Fuck off to your rulecuck hugbox, nigger.
and you retards wonder why zoomers don't put up with this shit and just use ddls?
>>108406327You sound like a retard. I held onto my accounts for years. Every time I got banned I deserved it. Oh well.>>108406328As if they understand ddl. They use shitty streaming sites. They don't know how file systems function.
>>108406351>Janny gods can do no wrong, I totally deserved it!You don't belong here, nigger. Get shot in the face.
>>108406351>As if they understand ddl. They use shitty streaming sites. They don't know how file systems function.Which race are you talking about? Zoomers in my WHITE country are doing just fine.
>>108406359I mean I was literally doing stuff like stealing other people's passkeys to download shit with their accounts so I didn't touch my ratio, but whatever.>>108406407Lmao no they're not. A zoomer in a brown country is more likely to have hands on experience side loading apks on a shitty android phone or even using some e-waste laptop with a Core 2 Duo. Firstoid zoomers are iToddlers.
>>108406441SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>108406471I have a HDB account from the time period after all of India was banned. I also donated massive seeding resources to the spread of Codex Pajeet II.
>>108406486SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>108406503SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>108406512SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>108406515Post hand challenge. You post yours I'll post mine. You don't post yours I'll still post mine so it's even more evident. Let's go.
>>108406523SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>108406529Reply without hand confirms you're brown. Meme spam will not be acknowledged. Have a nice day.
>>108406554NTA, but I'm not surprised one bit that you're a fat pigger.
>>108406655You are that anon and you're looking for something, anything, to latch onto.
>>108404308>>108405992These.>because you have to be a slave for the tracker owners and actively seed shit and treat it like a full time job.Yeah, nope. I'll stick with Rutracker/Nyaa/Soulseek, thanks. And all the other fmhy sites.
>>108406779>You are that anonFat schizo.
>>108406811Actually based. Chads like this make groveling /ptg/ trannies with 0 self-respect seethe.
>>108406844I can do inspect element too lmao>>108406811>he thinks we treat it as a full time jobNo I insult you repeatedly on 4chan while you download from my gbit seedbox on Soulseek. Your foolish attempts to bite the fat hand that feeds are repeatedly thwarted.
nta but i can't help but notice the other guy did not post his hand
>>108406912I'd like to see some public sharing numbers from him too. These are my Nicotine+ stats.
>I contribute nothing and think I deserve everything>I also think you're a dumb cuck for giving it to meThis is the public shitter mentality. Not all public tracker users or users of public sources are like this. Just the most vocal and annoying ones. It's almost as if they would be happy if the whole thing stopped working and everyone feeding the silent, appreciative, majority stopped sharing. But I see them for what they are. I won't let them ruin a good thing for everyone else even if they do prove the honor system doesn't fucking work.
>>108406892Actual retarded schizo pathetically trying to latch onto something, because he can't believe everyone ITT hates his hideous, obese pigger ass.
>>108406956Hey look I'm talking to myself now haha I really am a schizo coooooooooool.. Even though I used inspect to edit the page like a pajeet scammer trying to convince a grandma that a refund just hit her account I could have just used the feature in 4chan-xt to mark posts as (You). All of this is meaningless.
>>108405561>fotm site dead within 2 yearshave fun with that. see you back on nyaa in a year or two
>>108406976I didn't edit anything, retard. Take your meds.
>>108406979it legitimately is better sans the webapp decision. Check it out. I won't suck the cartel's dick.
>>108406984You can't prove that.
>>108406994Watch the video, moron. Inspect element doesn't stay when you refresh the page.
>>108407001It wouldn't be hard to make it stay. Do you trust anything that you are seeing? Can you be sure that reality is not just an illusion? Are you pissing in an ocean of piss thinking it's going to push away a tidal wave? Are you trolling the fat loser or is he trolling you?
>>108407017>Look mommy, I'm trolling by pretending to be a 14 year old philosopher!!!
>>108407040Nah I'm just shitposting, as you were. If you thought you accomplished anything else here you are mistaken.
>>10840429599% of most people's needs can be served by public trackers. Cabal trackers are just not worth the grind. The only thing they do better is centralize access and provide niche content.
>>108407050>I was pretending to be retarded I swear!Anyway, this shit is pointless. Private tracker culture sucks and the only private tracker I want to get into is impossible to get into, so there's no sense in talking about this shit.
>>108407075You are trying to win an argument against some arrogant dickhead who writes horrible posts on an anime website. You don't realize it's like playing tennis against a brick wall. You can tell me all day long about how pointless you think it is to try to spend your time getting into private trackers. But I'll tell you that it's a better use of it doing that than arguing with me. I still get to stay on private trackers if I argue with you. You get nothing from arguing me. Not even the satisfaction of closure because I have what seems like infinite time and I'll still reply to you again if the thread is alive when I wake up in the morning.
>>108407104This basement dwelling dweeb keeps a ledger with "internet arguments won" on it lmao.
>>108404295no, torrentleech has been good to me since they did that big invite wave after RARBG died
>>108407191Yeah. The person who has spent the entire thread trying to point out that they are basically unwinnable would do such a thing. You are very perceptive. You have a good grasp on the kind of person you are talking to. You likely aren't new here.
>>108407198TL or IPT is such a huge step up from using public trackers.
>>108407208it seriously changed my whole perspective on private trackers. very glad i started using TL
>>108407200>If I act smug, maybe no one we'll be able to tell I'm a loserIt's okay, anon. Just bee yourself.
>>108407350If you reply just one more time victory will be that much closer. You will feel satisfied. You will feel as if you accomplished something. You took down the big fat internet meanie and looked like a hero while he went off on weird tangents about the nature of reality. Everything he said about the pointlessness of it all couldn't possibly be true because you feel like a winner, therefore you won.Meanwhile anybody who reads this is going to cringe at the both of us.
>>108404298same. every time I want to download a movie or a show I just google "pirate bay reddit" and click through whatever is the latest pirate bay proxy list until I hit one that worksthen I pick whatever result has the most seedersif whatever I want to watch isn't there, I go watch something else. I'm not starving for content
>>108404295Private trackers are gay hoarders. Torrents need numbers to work. Tribler + public trackers + dht + pex.
I use rutracker from time to time to save ratio on private trackers. It helps that I live in a country that doesn't chimp out when people use bittorrent.
>>108408559>save ratio on private trackersThe good private trackers are ratio-less.
>>108404295Of course
>>108405609>AMZN or MAI know AMZN is Amazon, but what does MA stand for? Movies Anywhere?
>>108404295Torbox with a bunch of torrent scrapers just werks, got a nzbgeek sub for good measures though
>>108404295Depends. Public ones are find for just grabbing something and dipping out. No need to seed. Private ones I mostly use for hard to find things. Dealing with the autistic requirements of some of the private ones is not worth it if it's on a public.
>>108404295If I can get access then it's not very private
>>108404295usecase for anything other than rutracker?
Yeah I doI usually just search "name of movie torrent 1080p" on yandex and the first result always works. I also always kill my torrent client the moment it hits 100%
>>108409278i do the same thing, but it's probably been a couple years now since i've used the one i have. probably for a few different reasons, including just not downloading quite as much as i used to, but also because you can find just about everything publically if you look
>>108404298Same, I won’t be beholden to a ratiofag limit telling me when I’m allowed to download something
>>108409141Yes correct, MA is slightly better than Amazon so it's preferred by private tracker users. It replaces Amazon rips. But honestly Amazon is already good enough that most people are going to think it's excellent. Also not everything is on MA.
>>108409471Ziggers can't rip CDs properly.
