Yeah not me, I keep on saying I use torrents and privatw trackers for the better quality. But really i just find it more fun.
i know I posted the meme and all, but what's the benefit of private trackers? is it like a search bar where you'll find niecher stuff or is it just that it downloads quicker?
i don't think I've ever had a time where 1337 and standard qbittorrent won't work
I have torrented off and on for about 18 years and only recently got invited to a private tracker, it seems like the biggest thing is that your ISP (and sites like I know what you downloaded) won't see them because the groups that watch torrents don't have access.
Whats 1337? Never heard of it.
I mainly torrent movies and a bit of tv. For me private trackers have by far the biggest library of high quality 4k encodes, which is what i'm after personally. And at decent speeds, public trackers often don't have enough seeders for higher quality encodes. There is also the community ascpect which is pretty nice, and lower risk of malware or copyright trolls although I still use a vpn anyway.
Also private trackers for movies are super easy to join. I woulf recommend FNP since I dont think you need any prior experience with private trackers, you just need to send them an email. Also they have global freeleech until chistmas!
