What's the benefit of using a Private tracker? If you have a VPN shouldn't that cover you?
Private trackers have seeding policies in place that mandate or incentivize keeping torrents alive for extended periods of time. As a result, you see fewer dead torrents and much faster download speeds.
Private trackers often have rules requiring seeding that keeps all/most of the torrents with a healthier seeding pool.
So faster downloads and less dead torrents. Sometimes greater variety
