Why not go private? alpharatio, mac-torrents, myanonamouse, PTP, BTN, RED, there are plenty of options.
Suggesting PTP and BTN to someone who has never used private trackers before is a bit mean.
Yeah I guess I'm old, I've been on those for 10+ years and didn't realise they don't allow new members. My bad (no irony, I am actually 42 years old).
PTP recently became possible again via RED but it is a loooong road for a new comer.
Meh these places seem like little more than a exclusive club that members can lord over the outsiders. I've had little issue finding content using a mix of 'B tier' private trackers and public sites, none of which had some long convoluted membership process. I don't think they're worth the trouble.
PTP definitely worth it.
I never really looked into PTs, I just found stuff on GOG, 1337, Dodi and FitGirl. Gotta give PT a shot one of these days. Same as usual, Qbit for DL just from different trackers?
TorrentLeech (TL) is currently having open signups with the invite code: REFUGEERARBG. Just make sure you read the rules. Also let me know if you have any questions.
According to their own news feed, the giveaway ended on June 9th
Dang, I thought it was the whole month of June for some reason.
Sorry I have no idea of what you're taking about. I'm old, I've been on private trackers for over a decade now and I haven't followed suit with other sources.
Since no one's answered this yet: yes, but with some caveats:
So I use IPTorrents, and I've heard of a lot of shady stuff with the people who run it. It's the only private tracker I've ever been able to join though. I've been wondering if there is a reason to look at others. Aside from ethics is there anything one of those you listed does that is different? Or are all trackers fairly close to the same?
