I’ve been using public trackers for the past 20 years, and never had a problem with them. I never got any virus or malware, and almost always found what I was looking for. What I couldn’t find through public trackers, I’d find it with soulseek. So I’m wondering what are the actual advantages of using private trackers?
Dead torrents are a lot less common as people are often rewarded for seeding torrents for long periods of time or seeding torrents with very few seeds. You often get faster download speeds on torrents with few seeds as people often use seedboxes to maintain ratio.
Specific niches that don’t see much love in public trackers. Are you looking for a spanish dub for a recent movie? An eroge? Indie rock music? Your chance of finding it with a private tracker dedicated to such content is way higher.
If you always found what you were looking for in public trackers, then private trackers have no advantages for you other than download speed.
Aside from what has been posted already, the vast majority of good P2P groups only release on private trackers, some with notices to not repost publicly. There is a massive collection of quality content that is either not available on publics or completely dead and forgotten.
Quality, organization, community, experience, reliability, and excellence, basically. Private is a luxury experience, public is for the masses.
There are some specialty content, such as British TV and Asian TV and movies, or complete archives of porn sites, that don’t appear regularly on public torrent sites, or streaming sites for that matter.
If you never watch that kind of thing, then you don’t need to sign up for a private tracker.
are they saver?
Thank you all for your answers!
