How do you go about getting an invite to one of these holy grails?
I've never had any need, except for audiobooks. Getting into myanonymouse is just a case of knowing the rules and passing a wee test. Maybe start there?
No way in hell am I sending anyone my piss to get into a website
here have my DNA!
Then you don't need the audiobooks. NEXT!
Are there good audiobook trackers? I've used audiobookbay and haven't failed to get a book I want so far
Myanonamouse.
I recently joined myanonamouse and it's working great so far. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to make my qbitttorrent + vpn docker container accessible for seeding.
You need to use a VPN that supports port forwarding, such as PIA, and qbittorrent needs to get set to use that port.
I'm using PIA and qbitttorrent is set to use that port. I also forwarded the port in my router, but myanonamouse wouldn't show me as online/connectable.
Don't forward the port in your router, it's not required and is just adding a vulnerable entry point into your network.
You can use a port checker tool to see if the port you are using is open (using the VPN IP). If it's just myanonamouse that's not recognising it, I recommend asking for help on there :)
I followed this guide cos the others were too confusing! - https://www.myanonamouse.net/userhistory.php?action=viewposts&id=171250
I'm logged into my account but it says permission denied when I click that link 🤷♂️
You dont have send it in. Just taste your own on a video call. Safe and private.
It’s a good idea to start with MAM since they have interviews twice a week, and you can access invites for other trackers in the forums once you get to vip (which requires 4 weeks of membership, and a ratio above 2.0)
One of the nicer things about it is that you can gain bonus points (which is how you buy extra upload credit and VIP) just by being an available seed. Due to the shear number of books on the site, you won’t be seeding often, but they make it desirable to keep it available in case someone needs it by giving you a certain number of bonus points per hour depending on various factors.
That's a lot of work. I can't imagine putting that much effort into downloading, not when Usenet doesn't require anything but a couple dollars a month.
What's a good Usenet?
I'm using frugal and nzbgeek
Usenet doesn't have all instantly
*Uploading, and that's why you wouldn't get an invite for a private tracker
No, that's why I wouldn't even ask for one. No point wasting so much time tending a ratio when I've got a faster experience that doesn't require me to do anything, and doesn't depend on random strangers to work.
Open signups/interviews then climb up the ladder.
opensignup pages like r/opensignups (now retired) but there are alternatives online, the AvistaZ/CinemaZ/PrivateHD discord has surprise invites and usually they open around christmas and/or black friday.
