Private trackers promote seeding, but people don't seed for more reasons than getting caught. Public trackers are leechfests. Some of my public torrents, I have ratio 30 and I'm still the only seeder. Why should I bother with this, if nobody else will? I should put the torrent on a private tracker where other people will help spread it, and stop public seeding.
