>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

What's this and how can I access it?

>>106870954
It's the basics of the chink RPG. Someone linked CarPT here when it was open and I passed all the requirements on it for fun even though I don't really need it. M-Team is a long term goal for me but I've been busy so I haven't taken any actual steps to reach it.

>>106870969
nta, I'm cabaled up and comfy. Is there anything in chinese trackers for me if I just snatch encodes? I just want original audio, and if it's foreign english subs. I've been ignoring them so far since I can't imagine they have anything I'd want that's not on HDB/PTP/ BTN/KG

>>106871073
If you're not into JAV or full discs you can disregard it.

>>106871081
thanks, will continue to disregard

>>106870444
Dude, I wish. Woke people would handle things very differently.

RED:
>There really is no excuse to not use 2FA in 2025 and we are planning on making this mandatory in the future
also recent discussion about mandatory 2fa on HDB and PTP. Reset your GGn and RED IRC keys if you haven't already, and don't reuse passwords. I for one welcome mandatory 2fa

damn lepik invited me to ggn from red... does this mean I'm going to get tree banned...

>>106869009
They don’t make 3d UHD discs at all actually. 3d isn’t part of most 4K screens, I think the only product still regularly made with 3d options are projectors.

>>106871982
It's good because it presents another path in the RPG with a much higher probability of you getting the bad ending. It's not like I suck up to cabal staff or love them or anything. I just like laughing at people I think are beneath me. Like this lildurk fag. This dork is so upset over spending money then getting banned that he spent even more money on a ddos. Just go buy a cheeseburger with that money or some shit. It will last just as long and be more satisfying.

>>106871768

>>106872384
https://4chanarchives.com/board/g/thread/54842033

Anyway /ptg/ is not a thread about torrents. It's about torrent trackers. It's somewhat of a bad fit on /t/ which is both a slow board and dedicated to sharing content rather than just talking about it.

>>106872409
It is somewhat ironic that private trackers would need a public discussion especially when no one outside is allowed to join, if you catch my drift.

>>106872420
You are allowed to join. That's a big part of the reason why this thread exists. It's not easy for any random fag to get in but if they want to know how they can come here. Then they can cry about how it's too hard and fuck off. I know there are a few people in here who are seriously trying to climb but it's nothing like it used to be when things were easier. Other than that we just gossip about the sites in ways that would get us banned if we did it on the sites themselves or spaces connected to them like r/trackers.

>>106872420
>when no one outside is allowed to join
did you even read the OP, anyone can join and it isn't even hard if you got a couple brain cells

>>106872420
I climbed to the top of the pyramid in a matter of a few years thanks to /g/

Some trackers are over twenty years old, that's crazy. Torrenting will never die.

>>106872679
I started with OiNK. I can't remember which I found first, 4chan or private trackers but it was around the same time. Probably OiNK if I'm remembering correctly.

>>>106858359(Cross-thread) shithead doesn't know how to interact with another person

You mean the mod who only logs in at a specific time for 1 hour every day, responds to every message passive aggressively by simply copy pasting the vague rules without clarifying anything, warns you threatening to ban for uploading conent that isn't forbidden, and randomly deletes forum posts. Yes, I wish that asshole would learn how to interact with people.

>>106872728
I just thought of another important point I'd like to get across because of this post. Think about the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. The guy is not depicted as being good. He's made out to be a total asshole in fact. But his soup is delicious so nobody wants to step out of line and lose access to it. So they put up with him. Tracker staff can be like that. There's been more than one time I wanted to reply with fuck you go kill yourself or whatever. But I know better. I'm there to pirate shit not fight for a noble cause. So I leave it be.

>>106872728
>>106872766
I almost put "anon" but since I'm not involved I got no way to know. Based on the replies you got it does sound like a mod is power tripping. If it's as bad as you say they'll piss off the other staff and get the boot...eventually

>>106872420
Nice bait, niggerfaggot.

>>106872420
>when no one outside is allowed to join
are you stupid? this whole thread is about showing people how to join, and we all did.

>>106872908
I'd even say if you tried to join right now the situation has never been better. Basically all top tier trackers are recruiting, which wasn't the case just a few years ago.

>>106872728
>who only logs in at a specific time for 1 hour every day
Believe it or not but some people have lives. I prefer a mod that actually does things outside of moderating a private tracker compared to the ones that sit on their ass all day, refreshing the site to see if someone might have made a small oopsie somewhere. The latter is the type you DON'T want to have on your site because they often take themselves too seriously.
>responds to every message passive aggressively by simply copy pasting the vague rules without clarifying anything
In other words, the answer to the problems that many people have can already be found in the rules. I would also start to become passive aggressive if that's what the majority of staff messages are like.
>warns you threatening to ban for uploading conent that isn't forbidden
Doesn't happen and if it does, you are free to post all the proof here, on le reddit or wherever else outside of the tracker so you won't get yourself /marked/. The thing is, these kind of posts almost never show proof and they almost always end up either being made up or the user leaves important info out on purpose. Same with your post, so there's no way to verify your claims.
>and randomly deletes forum posts
See above; all allegations without a single piece of proof.

>>106872959
More/better trackers recruiting but more waiting and work required to get into them. It's a double edged sword.

>>106872979
Yeah, but I'd still argue it's better to be able to get into them at all, even if it's harder than ten years ago.

>>106872766
>>106872728
there's one staff member in one of my trackers that makes me not want to interact with staff mails at all because of the chance I have to interact with that fucker
So instead I just bring it up in IRC when another staff member is on & hope for the best

>>106873030
don't people always say "oh yeah you should have joined ten years ago, it was so easy then"

>>106873064
I mean they're not wrong. Just having an account that's more than two years old gives you a big advantage over someone who wants to join now. But now there's not so many paths etc. Only one way in that truly matters.

>>106872964
not giving you the info to ban me. go eat a bag of dicks.

>>106872964
>In other words, the answer to the problems that many people have can already be found in the rules. I would also start to become passive aggressive if that's what the majority of staff messages are like.
it's like any customer support or IT problem
before you can get any actual help, you have to go through 5 steps that only apply to fucking retards

"URRRR... SUR? ARE THE MODEM BLUGGD IN?"
yes you piece of shit

>LEPIK WHO IS A STAFF MEMBER IS GIVING INVITES TO ACCOUNT SELLERS. KEEPING THEIR MONEY AND BANNING THEM.
every tracker should have at least 1 staff member who does this. fund the site with india money and cabal them for eternity

>>106872959
>never been better
even tho i got into ab through application and just uploaded like 5 albums to get ptp

Had a dream that there was a private trackers episode of Gintama. Was getting off my ass to rewind and do some screenshots because I was so astonished, and then I woke up.
>>106872959
Well it's actively getting worse every day and even joining 4 years ago sucked ass compared to 8 years ago, that much I'll give you.

>>106873587
When I started getting into private trackers a few years ago (I guess around 2021) neither PTP nor HDB nor BTN recruited, so it was impossible for me to get into them. Then they started recruitment eventually and yes, with much harder requirements than the last round, but at least it was possible to join them again.

>>106873405

The downside with that method is that it allows very bad actors to temporarily gain access to the site.

Which is why i don't think that is what happened in this case even if it would be kind based if true.

>>106872420
They hated him because he spoke the truth

>>106873887
>hated
I think you mean baffled by their stupidity, for how they're so wrong in the face of obvious evidence that contradicts them

>>106873214
You know what you could do if you want to prevent that, anon? Give them a detailed explanation about what you've already done in your initial message. So, for example, when you include "I've already restarted the system" then they shouldn't have tell you that you should try to restart the system. The reason that they have to tell you those 5 steps first is because they don't know what you've already tried if you don't let them know, and majority of the users reaching out to support are retarded anyway so a lot of times those 5 steps would already include a fix for those people.

There's a reason why a lot of customer support nowadays is hidden behind some retarded AI bot. You'll first have to tell the AI about your problem and it'll try to give you an answer to your problem. You have to try REALLY hard to actually get to a human if your problem isn't something basic but for the company/service/whatever it's still worth it because again, majority of the issues can easily be solved using those 5 steps and it's cheaper to have an AI say it over an actual human.

Luckily private trackers still have actual humans going through support tickets but just like with the rest of the internet, there will always be lots of retards that can access and fill in the support form just as easily as you can.

>private tracker user with 100 tb storage, full ricing setup with 10 seedboxes in all continents when you propose to add just a little step to access pirated content to secure the site

yeah like did you religiously follow xerf xpec / xearching for sounds or WMTD? Quite surprised to see mabumi, valle, jiro together. I'd comment on cortex but everyone knows that now so not even significant.

>>106874292
Yeah Funky Stuff, Marcos Valle, Troupeau Bleu (also a FIP classic, also One Beer...) is stuff that Youtube recommends to everyone. Not bad music but when you can see the view counts are high as fuck compared to a lot of music that's just as good you'll find if you dig deeper.

What is xerf xpec xearching and wmtd? ddg gives me nothing on these

>>106874444
Looks like xerf xpec got shut down but it was a well known music channel on YouTube. Had a heavy focus on Japanese music.

>>106871454
This is the tactic used by private usenet indexers.
"If you've bought an invite, come forward and let us know immediately. If you do so, we might let you keep your account."

This is just a nice way to scare neons into ratting out on their sellers.
And of course you will both be banned, and your dox will be shared to all other indexers/trackers.

does anyone have the pass the popcorn vs Netflix and other streaming services comparison chart?

>>106874501
yeah

>>106874501
here you go anon

>>106874342
>>106874444
sure anon have a quick random selection from my library that I found thanks to those channels.

xerf xpec was the name of one channel, he renamed like a thousand times cus copyright, currently Xearching For Sounds; mostly j-fusion j-jazz and city pop and such vaguely related things. WMTD is Weird Music Tastes Different, where I found mabumi. Another similar channel is Terminal Passage.

Oh and thanks for making me realize beets didn't fucking convert my last album in this pic for my jf library...fuckin A.

>>106874533
Why does this have a pedophile image in the background? Remove it and post a proper one, thanks!

>>106871982
I once bought an invite, and let me tell you; it was absolutely not worth it.
From the constant fear of getting caught, to all the hoops I had to go through...

Couldn't sign in without connecting to a residential proxy (because my real IP was tied to legit accounts), and couldn't download using my seedbox (because server IP was again tied to legit accounts).
Every time I got a notification, message, or email, I was shitting bricks that this was the final one.

In the end, my account of course got banned. Because sellers sell to so many people, that it eventually will be found out.

>But why sellingz is bad tho?
Because it opens up trackers to copyright trolls, and other people with malicious intentions, which in return can (and will) bring down the entire tracker.

>>106874544
fix yourself

>>106874559
No. I'm just going to report the pedophile.

>>106874501
so why not abolish invites in general? Nobody uses them we're all too scared

>>106874595

>>106874569
>Let's remove something a small fraction of people use, because an even smaller fraction of people misuse it.
User invites are an integral part of Private Trackers, and have been so for as long at they've existed.
Many trackers already have a very healthy system set up, where they rely completely on nothing but user invites.

The problem with PTP and BTN, was that they became too big to maintain a healthy ratio, combined with the fact that gaining invites in the first place, was already near impossible.

I get discriminated by private tracker users because I snatched nazi music

>>106875001
And even when I still occasionally watch it, I just grab it from PTP or HDB, the quality on KG is abhorrent and most stuff is badly seeded and the only seeders aren't connectable lmao

>>106875015
Zoomers who only know how to use iPhones are more technically competent than the average KG user.

>>106875059

Did copyright trolls ever get access to cabal trackers and collect IPs to fine those users?

>>106875074
I made fun of them in the past. They do generate some things of value. I got some things that are very relevant to my interests from there. But few of the people there know what the fuck they are doing. The people making subtitles are obviously the most valuable.

>The people making subtitles are obviously the most valuable.
And yet there are so many claimed posts that were never finished and KG boomers get really mad if you try to claim it instead, because you're not a lazy ass hoarding all the big pots for yourself

Can you help me with the strait through puzzle? Idgi
https://challenge.bellingcat.com/

>>106877589
You are in the wrong thread.
This is for Private Torrent Trackers - closed websites where people upload/download torrents.

Though, to be fair, it's not the first time someone has made this mistake.

>>106877589
>>106877641
That was actually really fun.
I don't know if you already closed the thread (you probably did), but here's my walk-through at least.

I knew that all planes are being tracked online (from that whole Elon Musk's Jet scandal), so I figured there was something for ships as well.
After searching, there are indeed loads of websites dedicated to tracking current, as well as historical, information about ships.

From the image provided, we can barely read the text on the back of the ship.
It's Russian and says "ИPTЫШ".
Knowing a bit of Russian helped here, but otherwise you can easily translate it online to "IRTYSH".

So now we know the name of the ship is Irtysh, and that it is probably owned by a Russian company.

After searching for the name on vesselfinder.com, there was 1 hit for a Russian owned cargo ship.
By opening the page, we can see that it visited 2 ports in 2024. One in China, and one in Mozambique.
The question asks for an African port, so it's most likely the right one!

Clicking on Beira revealed a weird code, next to the name, so I tried copying that to Bellingcat and... Success!

What a fun little task.

>>106877818

>>106878204
not scene

>>106878156
Probably only for complete blu-rays (.iso). P2P has a firm grip on music, remuxes, web-dls and even games these days (with "cracks" essentially being copy/pasted). The glory days of the scene are way past us and most of it withers in nostalgia.

>>106875001
Not him but I went back to watching isekai anime

>>106874659
I think the "problem" with these sites really, is that they don't really want or need more users. They've already decided what community size works best for them for the kind of site they want to run and don't want to just keep growing endlessly. So they will only recruit to maintain that specific size they want, and the pool of people who want to get in will inevitably be much larger than the number of slots that open up as old accounts are pruned (especially as over time users start to value their accounts more seeing how difficult the site is to get in)

I put problem in quotes since it's really not a problem for those running or using the sites, just things working as intended, but yeah it sucks if you want to get in. Though honestly I feel like more paths have open up in the past year or so compared to how things used to be where you were just shit out of luck trying to get into those places through official recruitment.

>>106874569
I've used them for their intended purpose sometimes (inviting actual friends who were interested) but it's never actually worked out that well. You just need a specific flavor of autism to actually care enough about your piracy needs to be willing to put in the effort to stay in good standing in a private tracker early on. Yeah it becomes easy and automatic with time but it's rare to find people from within one's own circle of acquaintances that's willing to put in the initial effort when there are much lower friction options early on.

My invite tree at WCD was fantastic, rip. I've re-invited a few of them to RED. I only invited one person to GGn and she never used it. My PTP invitee used to use it a bunch but hasn't logged in in years and I don't have any more invites there

Is it known who is ddosing ggn yet? I saw that they somehow got into RevenantJC's account but he's enabled again and they're still having issues.

>>106880194

it's actually easier because before PTP stopped recruiting, they required TM on red, which is the same as right now, but now they also recruit in a bunch of other easier trackers

>>106872125
it compromises the site security, so no

Is there any reason to try to get into HDB if I'm already in PTP and BTN and they serve my needs well right now? I guess it could be a backup but I'm not sure it's worth the effort since I'd need to grind uploads to qualify

>>106882533
Stay out of HDB. We don't want you.

>>106882539
One of "those", eh?

>>106882551
Repetitive questions get simple dismissive answers. The value of HDB in relation to BTN and PTP has been explained in the thread many times. If you actually care look in the archives. What's the point in explaining it over again if you're just going to dismiss it once I do? If you need to ask you're a neon. If you're a neon you won't see the value in completing the climb. If you don't see the value in completing the climb you don't belong.

>>106882562
I mean yeah I admit I don't really care about "the climb", joined most trackers I'm in 10 years or so ago when it was easy and I just use them as a means to acquire content not some kind of challenge. Your post just kinda made it come off as one of those gay circlejerk trackers where everyone's all up their own asses all the time rather than just chilling and enjoying the free content so I kinda lost interest a bit...

>>106870777 (OP)
are you gay?

>>106882576
Besides merely being in HDB for it's prestige there's the trinity strategy. Download on BTN with no ratio. Cross seed to HDB. Build buffer on HDB and download movies there. Cross seed to PTP to collect buffer and points.

>>106882592
Hmm, I see.. Is there a lot of content there that's not on PTP? I know I've heard for some older stuff you might find it on PTP but not HDB due to it not being HD but not sure if the reverse applies in some cases for internals or rare content or whatever

>>106882597
Not really. When you think of PTP think of a tracker that feeds off the strengths of all these other trackers. Collecting HDB's high quality HD encodes, KG's arthouse library, CG's b movies, and everything it's users contribute as well. It's both a primary source and aggregator. HDB is just focused on high quality HD encodes and the sources to make them with. WEB-DLs are there too for convenience but obviously other trackers are better for that. It's really easy to build buffer on HDB, PTP is already easy but HDB is a fucking cakewalk. You can also hit and run there all you want. As long as HD movies are what you care about most HDB is the best backup for PTP.

>>106882616
Interesting, thanks. Maybe I'll give it a shot later and try to get some more uploads in when I'm feeling less lazy, shouldn't be too hard to get to the requirement

Yes, because HDB allows HnRs, so you can just grab stuff quickly and delete it if you don't like it, PTP and BTN want to seed you forever

>>106875082
Bumping this question. Are there any reported cases of such a thing happening?

Copyright trolls mainly go after the lowest hanging fruits, so they'll scrape IPs from public sites to send out letters most of the time.
The public "market" is much higher than the private one, and it's a lot easier for them to target there.
Maybe it has happened in the past, 15+ years ago or so, but I haven't heard about any instances of this happening on Cabal.

It has happened on Private Trackers before though.
The Danish copyright trolls started going after users in the last couple of years.

The more experienced copyright trolls will try to target Cabal in other ways.
As with most of these cases, they'll only go after the owners though.

No. HDB is a good site for uploaders. If you're just a consoomer and you're in PTP then the only reason to join is as a PTP backup

>>106887673
>he doesn't understand the difference between required seed time and ratio
ngmi

>>106888222
It's to prevent having only those 200 seeders continuously upload to every new leech.
The new leech should seed himself to the leeches that come afterwards.

seedbox fags ruined private trackers

you literally can't get any upload because every new torrent is 95% seedbox users autosnaching, its just seedbox users uploading to other seedbox users, literally making up buffer from thin air

they all have 100TB+ buffer but they are mentally ill and just need MORE

the beast way to solve this is to cap buffer, so let them seed for free

ofc PT admins wont do shit because all those seedboxcucks are also donators keeping the sites alive, a literal circlejerk

>>106888473
When there's a gold rush, sell shovels...

>>106888473
That's not how it works at all. You belong on public trackers.

Even if I'm downloading from my home connection I don't want to download from your shitty home connection. I want to download from 20 seedboxes. They are to private trackers as a CDN is to any modern streaming or download service. There are so many strategies to build buffer and points without a seedbox. If you can't figure it out you're simply retarded. I have no sympathy for anyone who complains. Adapt or die.

>>106888473

I have like 2 TB of buffer on RED and i never used a seedbox.

>>106888635
sure you do buddy

>>106888473
i wish there was a PT that literally bans the use of seedboxes

i dont want mindbroken fags who pay2pirate on my tracker

>>106888834
Some Chinese trackers force you to limit your upload speed.

>>106888834
Make one then so nobody joins it and we can call it curry.

>>106888473
Seedboxes also help save otherwise lost media.

>>106889095
t. pay 2 pirate faggot

how does it feel to be so fucking retarded?

>>106889088
I'm not gonna deny that a lot of old stuff is being kept alive by home-seeders, but without Private Trackers, and the mass amount of seedbox users, lots of things would be in severe risk of becoming lost.

If a show takes 3 weeks to download from some 10kb/s connection in Argentina, most regular users will quickly abandon ship, and write it off as a loss.
But seedboxes will continue to cling on to that hope, and once the data has finally been shared in full, the data can more easily propagate to even more users, which will in turn help keep it alive for even longer.

>>106889161
are you dense?
seedbox cucks just jump on hot torrents, and when they see its not gaining upload anymore they just hop to the next hot torrent

they are actually killing the retention of torrents

>>106889216
"Some niggers kill and rape, and therefor all niggers are bad".

I get that you have a hate-boner for racers, but that still doesn't mean that seedboxes are not a valuable asset for torrent retention.

If I could, I would invite you to view how I personally utilize my own dedicated seedbox.
From a fully stacked arr-setup, to my completely automated cross-seed implementation, spanning across multiple private (and public) trackers.
I try to do a manual cleaning, preferably bi-yearly, where I switch the episode releases out for dedicated packs, to better help with retention.

I'm not gonna deny having raced quite a bit on this setup as well, but that's just what you gotta do when joining a new tracker.
The largest majority of my storage (50+ TB) is dedicated to perma-seeds though, many of which I am the lone seeder (and have been for years).

>>106889291
>therefor all niggers are bad
yes

also nice larp faggot, you dont even have a 5TB HDD probably
>fully stacked arr-setup
lol

>>106889099
I’m not the one complaining here, life is good

>>106889216
racers are only a subset of seedbox users. and you can both permaseed and race with enough storage space.

>>106888583

I may be retarded, but I'm not a neon.

If you took my message as me suggesting to not take proper precautions, when downloading from Private Trackers, then you misunderstood my message completely.
I do see how it could come across that way though, but that was not the sentiment I was trying to convey at all.

>>106888473
eh they keep my downloads quick so can't really complain, even if they make it impossible to gain buffer on RED (only site really where it's an issue)

>>106888473
I've never used a seedbox and never really had a problem maintaining buffer on the trackers I like. Maybe for the first 2-3 weeks but after that it's pretty much autopilots, and the seedboxers help me download my shit faster so they're a net benefit really

>>106888473
Why don't you join us? You don't even have to buy a sneedbox, you can easily set up autobrr on your own machine and get decent buffer if you don't have third-world-tier upload speeds.

A predictable reply, typical time waster comment.

why GGN still down

>>106889805
The problem with home connections usually isn't the speed but the peering. Like my own ISP. What route is it going to take to reach your ISP and how shitty is it going to be? It makes the biggest difference in the smallest swarms. If there are only a few people seeding the torrent but one seedbox giving me great speeds while the others are mediocre it means I don't need to wait so long for the torrent to finish downloading. This is far preferable. Likewise downloading from a ton of seedboxes in a big swarm is the premium experience. In speedtest threads here on /g/ you always get people saying shit like "I never max out my connection except when I download off steam." Other people paying for seedboxes that serve you is a big part of what makes private trackers so great. It's not worth crying about upload you didn't get because of them.

>>106892923
be born in europe. problem solved

>>106892862
the temper tantrum continues

>>106892964
It's not like Euro ISPs have incredible peering either. But there is a high chance that your ISP has excellent peering to Leaseweb, OVH, etc if you live there. Really if you live in Europe or North America and are able to get good upload speeds you should not have a big problem building buffer without getting into the more advanced strategies. Cucked upload is a problem for a lot of people though. I thought it was almost entirely an American problem until I looked in the speedtest threads. A lot of euros are fucked over too. The obvious thing for a home user who does not want to pay for a seedbox but has little hope of competing to do is to invest in storage. Hoard bonus points.

I've got a Raspberry Pi connected to a USB enclosure that has my SATA 8 TB drive.

I want to upload more but my ISP are a bunch of cucks. Is it really worth it to get a seedbox? It looks fucking expensive.

>>106893029
You already have storage. Fill it up and collect bonus points.

>>106893036
I mean fair enough but 4.3 MiB upload makes me sad.

Is there some qbittorrent setting I'm not aware of or any other way of getting my upload speed up? I'm on public trackers as well as GGn.

>>106893048
You can tweak qb settings but I don't think it will do much with USB storage on a pi with a bad connection. Perhaps stop serving the public trackers. Continue downloading from them but don't leave shit seeding. Stop the torrents when they hit 1 if you feel bad. You can get things to cross seed to GGn from public easily.

>>106892923
>>106893015
There's also the connection saturation.
If a home connection is limited to 50MB/s download (as an example), another home connection can upload to him with 3MB/s, but when a seedbox comes in and sends at 49.75MB/s, the home peer can only do 250kB/s upload.

In older /ptg/ threads discussion about seedbox use were very controversial and at times it seemed like I was the only person who wasn't totally against it. I had to explain my own situation in detail before it made sense to people in they backed off when I talked about using seedboxes. But in these older threads I also explained that if you pay for one it's not like you need to keep paying for it forever. You can just do it long enough to get the amount of buffer you want. Once you think you're set on your trackers you can stop paying. Don't you think that makes more sense if you're an adult with a job and a life who doesn't want to spend all your free time playing hobby sysadmin? But who am I to speak, I'm an adult with a job and a life who wants to spend his free time playing hobby sysadmin even though his IRL job is sysadmin.

>>106893127
I've never paid for one, and likely never will, but I appreciate that 99% of the time when I snatch something my connection gets maxed out

Another point I feel is important to make. The culture of piracy, not just private trackers, has shifted entirely. We have gone from the idea that streaming was going to kill piracy to RETVRN TO PIRACY. People don't want to pay for 20 different streaming services. But they want the same convenient experience. So we have people using sonarr, autobrr, jellyfin/plex, etc and also sharing it with their less tech literate friends who wouldn't understand how to manage a setup. If you take this into account the idea that everyone using a seedbox is just trying to hoard 100TB of buffer seems pretty dumb. Do you think these people are obsessing about their buffer and ratios the same way some of us are? Or do you think they just pay the bill and let their automation setup do everything? Of course there are a lot of people who post in this thread who manage these kinds of setups on their home connections. But some people have cucked upload. Other people don't want to play like I said, hobby sysadmin. If you pay a seedbox company they install all this stuff and manage it for you. All you do is add in your tracker credentials and tell it what you want to download.

>>106893273
Some people like the number go up despite having no rational reason to need that much buffer, some do it because they feel they're helping the tracker, some probably do just want to hoard content I guess

>>106893127
Somewhere in the Wiki is says something along the lines of; "If you have a seedbox, don't just use that for seeding torrents. It's a completely regular server regardless".
I basically live by that principle now a days, and my "seedbox" has become such an integral part of my daily life.
After installing Docker, it opened up a whole new set of doors.

If anyone is reading this, and haven't already made the leap, take this as your chance to finally start utilizing your seedbox to the fullest.

>>106893568
so znc and what else?

>>106893568
Do seedbox admins allow that? I feel like they wouldn't like people using one as a cheap way to get a VPS (unless they price seedboxes higher than VPSes anyway in which case I guess they don't care)

>>106893592
Nextcloud and The Lounge, as Swizzin packages.
When it comes to "Selfhosted" things, I got a whole bunch from awesome-selfhosted.
I also use it to host a couple of websites for both me and my friends.

>>106893596
This is a dedicated server, so I have full root access.
It is basically like renting a server from any other provider, just with the benefit that this one comes pre-configured with those juicy secret qbit configs, and is guaranteed to be located on the same racks as other seedboxes.

The company I'm renting from is basically a reseller, but I've checked with the real provider (LeaseWeb) and it seems that I'm getting it cheaper than if I bought directly from them.

>Do seedbox admins allow that?
The only rules they have, is that you're not allowed to run miners or Tor exit nodes on there.
Anything else is fair game.

>>106893365
>if you spend more than an hour a month configuring it youre retarded
Key word here, you. As in you're addressing me. Remember you're speaking to someone who is a sysadmin and sets up servers for a living. You can follow tutorials, watch YouTube videos, etc and quickly get this stuff up and running. Skill level required: midwit. But lol. Lmao. How many of those guides are going to give you a lecture about exposing those ports to the internet, keeping your shit up to date, limiting your attack surface, etc? How much time have you spent speaking to self professed tech experts here on /g/? What are their attitudes towards such ideas? It's nothing to me to not only configure all of this but configure it properly. I do not make the same assumptions of most others.

>>106893644
I also have a leaseweb server from a reseller that I use for more than torrents. Since I need it for work related things I got my employer to pay for it.

It's also fraud, like you're not legally allowed to scam people out of their money even if those people are trying to do something wrong. Committing fraud to try to protect your tracker is likely to bite you in the ass and get authorities interested that might not otherwise have cared if you do it enough.

>>106893798
I'd like to let you in on a little secret. Nobody cares.

>>106893805
I mean nobody cares if some idiot gets scammed trying to buy an invite, but I just think tracker admins know better than to get involved themselves and try to run "sting" operations where they steal money from prospective buyers to punish them, it would be a really stupid and pointless risk.

I have a seedbox purely so my Plex server can stream remotely properly, my burger net upload is 10mb/s and likely will be that for a long time.

Now invite me to TiK

>>106895892
10 is enough

>>106895892
this you?

>>106895842
My PC isn't running 24/7, so seeding for 120 hours is a hassle and spreads over weeks

>>106895959
I stream from Plex on my local PC comfily to my iPad while lying on my side, it's perfect

It's been said countless times, it's not always about money. I have disposable income and I don't like the experience that streaming services offer, so I pay to use private trackers in a comfy way (dedicated server with plenty of space, no I don't want to use my home connection 24/7 for torrents). That's it. People like you can keep seething all you want, at the end of the day people like me are probably a lot more beneficial to trackers than you.

>no I don't want to use my home connection 24/7 for torrents
why?

>>106896960
I'm limited to 50mb/s upload and I work from home, so I don't want something using my already limited bandwidth

>>106896992
Do you mean 50MB/s or 50Mbps? What country?

>>106896992
You can limit download and upload speeds in the torrent client.

10 is enough for what? If you're not streaming in original quality 4k what's the point.
I travel a lot for work.

>>106897254
10 is enough to do 4k

Are Xthor and Le Saloon actually canadian or just french? I only see posts about them from France french communities

I'd love some lore on the user who decided to DDoS the tracker. It seems pretty interesting.

I hate the pretentious userbase of KG so fucking much

>>106897873
what's so pretentious about us sharing movies with each other? unlike ABtards, we tend to just talk about movies and we don't spam stupid screenshots on every OP.
