i've been pirating things for ~15 years and still don't understand private trackers
What's the confusion? They're just like public ones, but pristinely organized, extremely well seeded, and you're less likely to get a letter from your ISP for torrenting with them.
isn't that why we're using vpn?
Yea, but you don't need one with a private tracker.
cool thank you
the getting into them part haha
Ah, you just need to pass an interview for many, which involves doing some reading and waiting in an irc channel
I can find just about anything I want through public trackers or DDL sites, so I haven't bothered to look into them.
yeah pretty much. but the 5-10% I never found would be nice to look for again
Same, being elitist about who you share japanese cartoons or whatever with just seems weird.
