Sorry if this felt like a noobie question, as im new to the world of private trackers.

What's the best way to access private tracker invites? Is it considered really okay or safe to purchase account invites from websites like (invitez) and (torrentinvites)?

Never purchase them, you’ll end up banned. Best way is to look for open sign ups

Thanks for letting me know. Saved me from spending there

[–] zahel@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Torrentleech has open signups a few times a year usually and it’s a decent general tracker.

You can join Myanonamouse at any time via an easy interview (basically just checking you can read the rules etc) and this tracker is easy to maintain ratio on and can get you invites to other trackers via its invite section

I'm already in Myanonamouse. Its been amazing

You must be on your primary home IP for the initial registration. You can not use VPNs, proxies, mobile IPs, or public wi-fi IPs for the interview.

Drat

You’ll find most private trackers want you to use your actual IP to browse the site, especially the ones worth being in

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'll also find that private trackers tend to be pretty safe to use without a VPN. But I think in the case MyAnonamouse you only have to be on your home IP for the interview. After you get accept tell them you use a VPN or seedbox and what that IP is and you should be good to go. I just got in there today actually and am super pumped about it. They have sooooo many things 😂

[–] Tippon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does that work if your VPN exit point changes? I switch fairly regularly depending on what I'm trying to access, and wouldn't know the IP address in advance.

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That I do not know. I don't use a VPN. I'll see if I can find anything when I get home tonight and let you know.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you :)

I might be a bit slow replying. It's already late here, and I'm going out during the day tomorrow 👍

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No worries. From what I can see in the forums they approve you for the IP you will using to download everything. If you aren't on that IP then downloads will be blocked. More specifically I think your browser and torrent client must have the same IP but like I said I don't know much about how VPNS work as I've never really used one.

Couple forum posts. The single one is from a moderator and also the person who did my interview to get into the website. That also ended up having to change VPN providers to get someone who would let them stick with a more static IP address.

If you are still interested I'd highly recommend showing up during one of the days they have registration. Can talk to them about it during the interview to get your invite and they would have way more knowledge and information about it.

you’ll end up banned

Why?

[–] p5f20w18k@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Selling invited isn’t allowed by most private trackers and the admins can tell if you’ve used a bought invite

[–] ScoobyDoo27@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (5 children)

If you’re willing to spend some money, why not move to Usenet? I just made the move and it’s miles better than torrenting, although I wasn’t using a private tracker

[–] paul@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

For most things I’d recommend Usenet as well, but that might not always be the case for niche content.

For example, I think MaM is better than Usenet for audiobooks.

[–] peregus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've never used Usenet, how does it work?

[–] ScoobyDoo27@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You direct download the files instead of download pieces from multiple people. In my experience Usenet is 100% faster than torrenting and you don’t have all the rules behind it like being required to seed back which is super helpful if you are on a limited set a data every month (fucking Comcast)

Usenet is definitely really good if you are using something like sonarr to autograb the newest stuff coming out. But if you are looking at old content, Usenet might be missing stuff, whereas BTN has a very extensive archive.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry if I'm being oblivious, but what's BTN?

[–] Ripper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Isn't Usenet been there forever now? I've observed it for so many years. But I'm not sure whether the newsgroups have all the up-to-date content available like the private trackers have? I download a lot of REMUX files.

[–] zahel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Usenet gets all that too

[–] Pulp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

From what I heard content can get taken down there, not the best for niche stuff, not the best for new releases (have to wait 1-2 hours from when something is already on privates within minutes)

[–] zebus@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Still getting it off the ground, but there is a tracker community starting here.

!trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com

We've already had someone giveaway a whooping 1 TL invite 🤣

To add to brickfrog's post, the important part to get from the link is that if you're willing to spend money to get on a private tracker, there are a few that accept donations for an invite. See the link for more info.

https://rentry.co/private-trackers is a good resource to get started.
