As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they’re doing.
Not selling or trading so hopefully this is still within the rules. If this gets a lot of responses I’ll just choose someone at random.
Edit: this had a lot of responses and is now complete. In the interest of fairness I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - congratulations @TopRamenBinLaden
Stupid question but what is TL?
TorrentLeech, private tracker
What is a private tracker?
A tracker (a server/website used to track torrents uploaded to it by members; torrent clients require these tracker servers to know how to download the torrent) that is private (not freely accesible to the general public, typically needing a registered account).
Oh nice, I’m on IPtorrents already give it to the more needy
Doesn’t hurt to have multiple. (At least, I hope, since I’m in like five.)
Lmao I’ve got about 14
How in the world do y’all manage to get into so many? Granted I’ve not put in a ton of effort, but every time I look into getting into a private tracker, all methods seem closed or dead.
I followed /r/opensignups and jumped on a few. I did pay to get into IPT as my first, though. Worth it, imo.
r/opensignups was my favourite sub, checked it daily and signed up for trackers whenever they were open
Interviewed for MAM recently, hoping to get into RED soon
Do we have an opensignups equivalent over here yet? If not we totally should!
Hey can you send me an invite? I’ve been very interested in it for a long time
Same here :)
I don’t want it but I’ll upvote. Good on you internet stranger
And my axe
And my bow
And my Seedbox…
The hero we need
Wait this is a piece of tech and note some sort of shoebox… right?
Yes it’s a dedicated seeding server.
I would love an invite, myself. This is super cool of you to do. Thanks and good luck everyone.
I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - your reply number. It’s yours, my man. Send me a PM with your email address.
Wow, I never win anything. This is awesome. Thanks so much for your generosity.
Nice name hah, congratulations
Thanks!
I’ve actually been looking for a private tracker.
I’m using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV
What I used to do was look for high activity free leech, and then let it seed for a few weeks.
It doesn’t have anything to do with speeds mate, it’s easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn’t even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you’ll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.
I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission (which is on 24/7) for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.
It’s been a while since I had an active seedbox but what I did was use a script I found on github to monitor the irc where the new releases got announced and grab them before they hit the RSS feed. Freeleach took too long to reach >1 ratio if I didn’t get in early. I didn’t use TL so it might be different but it’s worth looking into. In my experience the faster you got a partial seed up the better, speed really wasn’t a factor. If you’re providing the files for the people manually looking for new releases to seed for ratio you’d be better off.
Right, but that’s not what I’m saying. It’s not about hitting good ratio on individual torrents, because as you’ve already seen that’s actually very hard to do. You will have accrued points on those torrents, which you can then exchange for upload credit. This is probably where most people’s ratio comes from on TL. Other sites are different, but TL is very generous in this regard.
wow, clearly I didn’t read enough after sign up. thanks so much for the intel!
@nevernevermore @CheekyYoghurts most if not all content on TL can be found on btdig or magnetdl.
Freeleech and permaleech if you dont want to get a seedbox
Get new, freeleech torrents. They don’t count against your download, but you still get credit for any upload.
well you can always cheat, just do it on torrents with a lot of activity and make it so that you only get like 1GB per day per torrent, you will never get caught
Been in TL for a while, great tracker. Don’t need the invite but take my upvote.
If your die roll chooses me, I promise to use it for good not evil.
Would really be interested. I’m really missing RARBG and was too late for open signups…
TL is awesome. Only occasionally do I need other trackers
How do you maintain ratio there?
They have an extensive freeleech system - a lot of popular items older than like 3 months ish is usually freeleech
Yeah its incredibly generous. I can’t imagine I’ll ever use the TBs of credit I have - seems most stuff I want is free anyhow
That seems generous; I’d like it if you’re willing. If not, hope whoever gets good use out of it.
Yes please!!
cool
I’d love it if I get lucky. I promise to use it for evil, not good, but the good kind of evil.
I’ll put my hat in the ring.
I seed, I have a 1.5 ratio on IPT and I didn’t buy it. I do use the bonus points but I mean, c’mon, the’yre there!
Been looking to get off IPT though because of the owners sketchyness, so I’ve been recently looking for a new “home.”
What’s sketchy about the owner? I’m on IPT and TL, but don’t pay attention to anything about who runs them.
Well make sure to use unique login info, from what I hear the IPT guy has been known to use people’s info to get into other trackers when they had poor enough opsec to use the same pass/email. Iirc there was other stuff too, IPT isn’t accepted as proof by most other sites and I’m sure people will chime in here with more sketchy things from the site, but I don’t remember. Still I have no other option until the day when I get another option lol.
I was able to use my IPT ratio to get approved for TL. Perhaps it’s because I’ve uploaded multiple TB more than I’ve downloaded, but it was enough to get me approved.
Good to know, thanks!
Just a heads up the Trackers community has an invites post you could participate in
