If anyone has invites to a decent tracker, hmu.
Just shamelessly begging, I haven't been on a private tracker in over a decade but I should probably step up my game again with the way that streaming services are headed.
My previous experience was that I was completely incapable of maintaining a decent seed ratio on my home connection. I felt that many users were using seedboxes with really high upload speeds and hogging all the seeding. But I still felt it was quite a valuable community because, as people have already mentioned, the organization and quality of the torrents is infinitely better. So I basically used it sparingly for stuff that was hard to find. They also had a bunch of free-leech torrents that didn't affect your ratio, which was a really nice feature. Honestly can't remember the name of the site though.
/r/opensignups (sadly the lemmy version seems abandoned at the moment).
Monitor that daily if you can. Torrent leech in particular should be opening their doors soon for open registration (they usually do in spring, if not it won’t be long as they do so twice a year anyways). TL is a great starter and honestly many people will never need more. Very easy to maintain on with great free leech on anything over a certain size which ends up meaning all remuxes and most TV show seasons.
Thanks for the lead 👍
Same, also looking for private tracker invites, ideally where you're rewarded for both seed ratio and time kept alive.
I just built a 24 TB NAS (expandable to 432 TB over time) with arrr services. I also tend to take existing content and add complete metadata for higher quality files (mostly FLAC audio files).

Damn, nice! I'll let you know if an invite comes my way, sounds like you would get better use out of it than me
