Trackers: File sharing among friends

Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I'm not sure what double upload means on private trackers. Does that mean they'd help my ratio because it's double? Some torrents are freeleech and double upload at the same time, so I thought those are the best, but I haven't seen much change in my ratio.

Hello,

I’m new to Reddit and also relatively new to private music trackers. I’ve been an avid music collector for some time, and I’m very interested in joining a private tracker community to share and discover high-quality music. I’m passionate about supporting communities that focus on maintaining quality and good ratios, and I’m eager to contribute in any way I can.

I’m still learning about how everything works around here, so if I’ve made any mistakes or posted incorrectly, please feel free to explain how I can act in the right way moving forward. I understand and respect the importance of community involvement, and I’m excited about the opportunity to be part of a tracker that prioritizes high-quality music.

Are there packs on some torrent sites where you can find a bunch of files that you can cross seed to harder torrent sites? For example a pack with 1000 albums to cross seed on a music tracker?

I just got into torrenting recently, and so far didn't have too much trouble finding torrents as I mostly downloaded popular and fairly recent content. But now trying to find a bit older content, even if its a bit popular (at least used to be, I guess) is proving to be difficult, well, finding the torrents are easy enough, but there's often no seeders, or the availability<1. This got me thinking about private trackers.

I have 200Mbps up and down connection(often it's 200 down, and 300 up), though it takes a bit of a hit with VPN enabled. I won't be downloading much, I can upload around 3-4tb a month for now. I don't have an issue with seeding and maintaining a decent seed ratio with public trackers, I'm mostly limited by my FUP limit of 5tb a month set by my ISP.

I'm specifically interested in Blu-ray 1:1 copies or remuxes, and web-dl of fairly recent shows/ movies, along with older sightly older shows too.

What are the best private trackers out there for each of them? and what are the stepping stone private trackers that would help reach them? and getting into what trackers would help get into those stepping stone trackers lol, and what's the process to get into these fairly easier trackers? Pointing to any resources will be greatly appreciated.

So this is about the saddest news i've seen all month , any alternatives to this ? I've been using it to remote add all my torrents with a right mouse click button >> to my seedbox for years now.

Anyone has any alternatives ? Would appreciate it , thanks.

I had applied for their invite via KG almost a couple months ago but their recruiter hasn't logged in since mid-September. I don't know if their recruitment on KG is even active at this point or not. Would it be ok if I connected to their irc to inquire about this or should I just wait more?

Hi,

I am currently a member of U2 and I would like to know all the trackers I can follow from U2 (with detailed requests if possible).

Thanks!

That's all, I am truly bored with looking at the default themes available. Any help would be very appreciated.

I used to be active there and got my pc(s) setup after a rough last few years, I went to checkup on some of the private trackers I used to use - and it seems cartoon chaos is indeed gone eh? Good thing I got all the 90s shit they had lol But yeah anyone got the story on what happened?

Note that this is not about the tracker itself.

Note that GGn for GGn in this poll i am merely referring to their required ratio and share score system and not their other systems like hit & run rules for people who are not elite gamer or higher.

Let's see how many people are going to vote incorrectly here.

While purely looking at upload and download doesn't tell the whole story regarding how much people are contributing looking at actual upload is still a good system in general.

The ratio system is unfair to people with bad internet

Sure if you have a bad internet on RED you will have a hard time there obviously but you actually want people to get good upload speed, make themselves connectable, etc.

Sure having a single seeder unconnectable seeder at 1Mbps is still a lot better than not being able to download at all but having to wait hours before you actually get what you started downloading is far from an ideal situation.

The ratio system does reward uploading (even if there was no bounty) by you getting at least ratio 1 if it got snatched.

The ratio system does reward long-term seeding since by seeding a torrent long enough you will probably get someone downloading from you. The fewer seeds a torrent has the more upload you are likely to get if someone snatches it, thus the ratio system naturally inventivizes seeding of low seeded torrents.

The ratio system rewards racing with seedboxes too much

This might be true but you can simply make adjustments to rectify that if it's actually a problem. I did read about CGpeers already having a system for that.

Having a seeding bonus can make things worse

If people get a lot of bonus points from seeding there will be less need for them to get upload which will lower the inventive to seed long term or upload.

RED for example have better seeded torrents than OPS (and also a lot more of them).

Compromise: required ratio based on how much you are seeding

There are a lot of different options here some of which has already been implemented.

RED has lower required ratio if you seed more up to the point where you have downloaded 100GiB.

GGn has no required ratio as long as you seed enough (regardless of how much you have downloaded).

Are there any trackers left with a solid Dutch library? My wife is complaining that I can only find international stuff. But the Dutch stuff is nowhere to be found.

And when the wife is unhappy.....

From forums

The original post: /r/trackers by /u/havingasicktime on 2024-12-21 03:36:24.

From Discord:

"As of v6.5.0, all major features for v6 has been implemented. Most recently, autoResumeMaxDownload, enhanced blocklist, and seasonFromEpisodes. You will need to add these options to your config if you migrated during v6 launch.

cross-seed is now complete in terms of finding cross seeds, future development will go towards expanding support for more user setups. If you have been using nightly, we appreciate your help testing and recommend switching to latest going forward."

https://www.cross-seed.org/

If you aren't already using cross-seed and are on multiple trackers with video, highly recommend trying it out. For a little setup cost you can be seeding the same shows and movies to many trackers, and if you have an arr stack/autobrr it only gets better from there. Partial matching was also added in v6 for sites that have external subs, nfo's, or even samples included, and it works great to find matches in those cases. Just be careful, as some sites might have altered video files which can cause issues, but most good trackers will not have that issue.

If you're still using v5 or lower, check out the migration guide to v6 as there was many new features beyond what I listed added in v6 and a few changes that for niche setups will require some changes.

I wanted to see if Notifiarr would be a good tool to add to my stack - already using radarr, sonarr, lidarr, prowlarr, and qbittorrent. (I actually first became aware of notifiarr as a replacement for recyclarr).

I am not actually sure where notifiarr excels - it seems to do a ton of stuff, so much so that I don't think you can summarize where it fits into a home media server setup.

If you use notifiarr, what do you use it for? What tool(s) has it replaced in your setup? Would you miss it if it was not here?

I was just curious to ask this. Myself, I download maybe one or two torrents a day.

How much do you download?

The original post: /r/trackers by /u/suineg on 2024-12-20 20:40:28.

Is there a tracker of some sort out there for 3D Models from all over?

The original post: /r/trackers by /u/vintologi24 on 2024-12-20 15:29:59.

I am not sure if writing this is even going to do any good given how many people who line up to join sites with bad policies (to the point where you have to be torrentmaster to join BTN, etc).

What we can do is to avoid sites that has bad policies and support sites with good policies (uploading, seeding, donating, etc).

You can also try suggestion something you view as a better system to an existing tracker to see if they deem in worth implementing (the details will depend on the tracker in question, whether or not they have a decently working economy, etc).

Let's say i grab i download some torrent on RED only to delete it right away after i downloaded it, did that actually hurt anyone?

All i did was to waste my own buffer while some seeders get more instead. There is no real harm here. The main loser would be me since then i would have less buffer to spend on music i actually want (RED doesn't have any H&R rules).

Of course it is better if people seed generally but having someone seed say 2 weeks really isn't much better than having them seed 2 seconds. We need people who seed for years.

User A: seeds everything for 5 days (or whatever the H&R minimum is), then deletes it.

User B: seeds 50% forever and delete 50% shortly after downloading it.

H&R rules punishes user B but not user A even though user B is actually much better for the site.

There was even someone who got banned from HUNO when moving files to seed from another location, all that did was to push the user towards sites that are actually good and have one less seeder available for those torrents afterwards.

Looking at seeding percentage is better but still not ideal

Seeders are less important if there are more of them.

Some torrents are also more important than others and that isn't just about the size of the torrent.

Low seed freeleech/freeload might be a better option for keeping torrents alive

On RED they have had freeload events where low seeded torrents get marked as "freeload" which rewards people who were already seeding them.

GGn has a system where low seed torrents automatically gets marked as freeleech until someone snatch it.

RED has community efforts going on to help single seeded torrents to get snatched.

Generally i do not watch movies. If i do watch a movie it's almost always anime (often for some franchise i am already invested into).

I have considered downloading some movies mainly to gain access to some audio clips i can use for stuff (you can use audacity for that). I actually downloaded a movie once due to being interested in the soundtrack but then when i listened to it it didn't sound right, something was off, then i found out the audio wasn't actually lossless.

Sometimes there is some TV stuff i get interested in that isn't anime but even then i tend to lose interest pretty quickly. Often youtube has what i am looking for and i am not sure how much quality matters there anyway.

Looking at BTN, PTP and HDB the most interesting option for me is probably HDB since they do not have H&R rules and they have both TV and movies in high quality. I do like being able to quickly delete something i have downloaded if i really didn't like it (even if i keep most for long-term seeding) and even if i only seed say 60% on some tracker that should be enough with 1Gbps upload speed, etc.

It's going to take some time before i can join HDB mainly due to my RED account not being 2 years old yet. I might also have to limit how much i spend on requests to meet the 500 GiB upload minimum.

One issue with HDB is that you are limited to high definition only (not sure if that is 1080p+ or 720p+) which means that there might be stuff you want that they don't have. There is BTN but then you have to put up with H&R rules and having to donate to get immunity from inactivity pruning.

There is so many other trackers that you can just go to and get torrents.. (Piratebay etc)... WHat would be the Brazilian version of Piratebay?? Why do so many of the BR and PO trackers need invites? Lame...

I'm looking for the US or UK Reader's Digest magazine online. I found some on MAM but about 95% are dead. I'm happy to pay if that's the only way, but so far, I haven't found any legitimate online services that provide Reader's Digest. Thanks.
