My private tracker days are behind me after they shut down OiNK, and then later what.cd. Though I can't say I don't miss it sometimes. At its peak, What was an amazing place.

Private. Speeds are much better and your stuff lasts longer. I tried several times to have public options for my Coliseum Video uploads and all have failed in some way. At least with private trackers, I know that they’ll stay seeded for a long long time.
Private, I like sharing in a community. Particularly like the Nordic one I'm in, they make sure everything has nice subs. There's also a few quirky torrents on there, like a collection of very old and niche Swedish PC games, many of which I remember fondly from when I was young.
What's the proportions of Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish content on there? I've been trying to get into some more private trackers apart from MAM and TL
I couldn't tell you really since I'm only looking for one of them. But I think it's predominantly Swedish, or maybe it's just bias. 😄
I prefer private, but only a few that aren't to crazy with the rules. Ratio is easy enough to maintain with some freeleech torrents set to seed forever, all other torrents get set to whatever the minimum seed requirements are. The selection, quality, and speed are so much better that I don't mind putting in that little bit of effort. Public trackers are my last resort.
That said, any torrents are secondary to Usenet. That subscription is worth every damn penny.
Right on brother
Private trackers have, always been a bunch of snobby dingleberries
I dunno the difference
