Are any of these services trusted? Would a private tracker lock your account as soon as they figure out you bought your way in?

And can anybody vouch for or against [redacted]?

Edit: pretty sure the site I asked about is a scammer so I removed it so nobody goes there. I had completely misspelled the tracker name when contacting them and they didn't correct me.

I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.

It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I'm there they'll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.

Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven't shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.

They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don't have a track record to show that they probably don't work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.

If you're a good seeder as you've claimed, then working your way up shouldn't be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.

I have opensignup from Reddit in my RSS feed and recently Torrentleech was open. Maybe have a look if it still is, very good general tracker and easy economy.

Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I'm trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there's not many

Oh the trackers are against that because they fight all the way against people working against the community and I guess that they just see more leeches coming in this way.

Personally I don't care about the individual background as long as it's at least a break even in the community.

Good luck!
