For those asking “private trackers what’s that?”

/r/trackers (on the bad site I know) has a lot of info

For those who may be interested in getting into private trackers, you should start with Myanonamouse.net in my opinion. They do an interview on the irc which is easy and you can join that way https://www.myanonamouse.net/inviteapp.php

It is a tracker for ebooks/audiobooks/comics that is easy to maintain a ratio on (via their generous bonus point system) as long as you are a decent seeder.

Once you’re on the site for a few months you can access the invite forum which can get you access to other private trackers. Think of it like a ladder.

Torrentleech (a general private tracker) occasionally has open signups throughout the year.

I’m on multiple private trackers, and they all hosted the infected version (they’ve been taken down now). Private doesn’t make it safe, especially when people are using automated tools to be the first to upload a torrent.

I didn’t say anything about that and don’t disagree but private trackers definitely have less of it due to their content having more scrutiny and standards.

Nothing is perfect. My comment only strived to let people know about private trackers as I saw multiple people ask about it.

The best way to get invites is to make friends with as many people on irc as possible

Thanks. Looks like the registration window is closed. I’ll check back soon!
