As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites.
I’ll only use private trackers if I can’t find what I’m looking for on a public tracker. Private tracker rules can get pretty onerous and I prefer to just avoid the whole scene if possible.
If I’m honest, this opinion surprises me. I didn’t expect to prefer public trackers. I always thought that private trackers were so cool and exclusive. I don’t think that way anymore.
If you permaseed you don’t need to know individual tracker seeing requirements.
How many torrents are you usually sharing at the same time? I find it affects my Internet speed at some point, even if I limit the upload rate…
Not many. I prefer smaller trackers though. If you see a lot of popular torrents on larger trackers, you’ll have a bunch of concurrent active seeds.
I can’t permaseed for tv shows due to storage limits, so I use autoremove-torrents to automatically delete stuff based on the tracker.
