I love the speeds of Usenet, but I feel like it's best to use it to tide you over while you work on getting into good private torrent trackers. Once you've got access to good private trackers, you don't have to pay anymore. (Except with storage, so I guess it depends on what you want and what capabilities you have.)
The problem with private trackers that don't have open registration periods from time to time is that unless you have enough upload bandwidth it's nearly impossible to build ratio on torrent trackers unless you pay for a seedbox subscription. While TorrentLeech is great, it's still missing a lot, with only 25Mbps download bandwidth and 5Mbps upload bandwidth I can't reach the requirements one would need to apply to higher-tier trackers.
It's true that you have to be careful with your downloads. Whenever I join a new private trackers, I set up downloads to start getting bonus points, but I only set up automatic downloads for freeleech content. Once I have enough buffer, I'll open it up for all downloads.
This is after I fully fucked up my ratio on my first tracker. All my others ones look good.
