>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.

If you need to ask you're in the wrong place. We have been over this 1000 times and it's the most futile and pointless conversation. If you can find everything you want on public trackers just understand that on private trackers it's faster and in better quality. If you don't care about that well, don't worry about it. But if you have niche interests the whole conversation changes.

I don't trust software from public trackers. I actually avoid software piracy as much as possible these days. The movies on public trackers are either shit quality or poorly seeded. What I want often isn't available in the form I want it in. Anime and games, well there's enough public piracy for all that. That's a well traveled path.

Not everything I want to watch exists on bluray. There are also different remuxers and encoders. It's an iterative process. On private trackers when new sources come out that are superior to the old ones usually the old ones get deleted, unless there is a reason for them to coexist. In the comments there are user opinions about quality and you get the notes from the remuxer and encoder. Relying on public sources is like flying blind. A lot of the time you don't even know what disc a remux came from.

hypervisor is spoofing your machine to trick denuvo into thinking it's an official copy
the good is that it's easier to do and gets you games faster
the bad is that it's unstable, windows-only, denuvo is still active and running, and you're trusting your machine's kernel access to the people that made the crack

Exactly 4am and some girl was ringing the doorbell to the condo I am staying in repeatedly. Pretty sure she's a prostitute. I answer the door.

After that I just closed the door. It's a good thing I stay up all night shitposting on /ptg/ otherwise I'd be really annoyed.

I am going to board a Japanese bullet train and download Merzbow torrents and play them loudly. Then I will point the camera at the faces of the people trying not to look flustered by my genius provocation. Later I will upload the video to TikTok so I can earn ad revenue from all the people angrily reacting to my insult to glorious Nippon.

unless you are after specific old films/asian/anime content these trackers fucken suck.
no access to api for your arr stack for new users. so you cant just jump on and quickly setup a cross seed to build ratio.
I CBF'd to try cross seed manually so all 4 of my accounts will expire. You also start with zero buffer so new people will absolutely unrecoverably fuck their ratio before they realise what they've done.
porn is mostly asian content and then massive site rips. some people value that, I guess, but all of those packs are on pornolab so there's not much point sticking your neck out to build ratio here.
If this is your first experience of a free tracker, unless you desperately need a porn tracker, specific old movie br rips or asian content tracker, just wait for someone else to open their doors.
Edit: ok, let me expand on my above comments are reading comprehension is lacking from a couple of the responses.
the OP has all of these listed as a movie/series tracker, cinemaz is the only one which could be vaguely considered movies/series, the others are all mainly focused on asian content.
people who are new to PTs will sit on this subreddit and wait for open signups, should this be their first tracker they get into, theyre going to fuck it up very quickly due to the lack of udnerstanding around ratio and limited to no buffer available.
unless you are interested in niche content, don't bother.
but keep yapping ya'll.

Name 1 thing you personally enjoyed that I can't find on public places. Because it's always crap no one would ever even bother watching/listening/reading, not even those claiming they have access to it.
The challenge is different now, name 1 (one) thing that matters to you that I or any public shitter cannot find. I promise not to make fun since it's a 4chin rec.

This doesn't look too good on private tracker folks. It's taking everyone way too long to name 1 (one) thing they care about which cannot be found outside private trackers. Shouldn't be hard since they are SOOO great, amerite?

Since I'm going to watch a film and then sleep I'm going to admit that I was larping as a public shitter. It was a nice experiment, I haven't used a public tracker since kickass was still around (how many years ago was that? lol). Public sites were definitely better than expected
>>108258604
This one I found on the link I provided although it probably has shitty compression but there was a ntb rip on soulseek as well. So checked
>>108258695
This one was tricky as I didn't find anything bluray-related. Will have to check ptp... Later. Bluray released in 2025 but not even /t/ had it which was my last hope.
>>108258745
And this one was probably a troll request kek
>>
>>108258779
It was the first movie I watched in japanese after I started learning it. I understood little at the time, but I plan to rewatch it. Its good because its weird, and you never know what to expect with movies like this.
One other I enjoyed was about a woman who was getting abused at work, and by her bf too, so she snaps and goes on a gory quest for revenge. I forgot the name of that.
>>
>>108258885
>Public sites were definitely better than expected
With that I meant that is hard to justify bothering with the whole climbing autism and interviews/paths in 202X. For me it's easy since I'm already in the source of content and using something else (inferior) makes no sense. But if I was starting today.. yeah maybe not. I would probably suck a dick or two to get to either ptp or kg for the rare films not anywhere else and such, but otherwise I don't think the state of public sites aren't that horrible like some are claiming 2bdesu.

>>

>>108257253
I would but instead I'll just make fun of you for choosing 1337x as your public tracker of choice. You're not even good at being a public shitter. Since rarbg shut down public trackers have been sad. Let's focus on the actual bright spots. Eztv is still the same as it has always been and still useful. A newcomer is uindex, which is run by IPT. You can also find their TvTeam bot on some other sites like IPT: https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=user:TvTeam
Also of course if you want remuxes the obvious choice is rutracker. These remuxes are inferior to the ones we get from private trackers but beggars can't be choosers. If it's some crap with 20 different russian dubs muxed in or yts any person who is not retarded would choose the former.
>>108258885
Something people like you always fail to understand is it's not merely about being able to "find" something. It's about convenience. If you just join IPT or TL you get access to basically everything that's on public trackers and it's a million times more user friendly, less of a hassle, doesn't require a VPN subscription, doesn't require waiting hours to get your file... If the lowest rung of private trackers shits all over the best possible public tracker experience then you have a problem. Public trackers are getting worse, not better.

Rutracker is more of a private than "public" tracker : they have a solid community despite being ratioless, need to register (semi-private), quality control etc. Its similar to like YGG, but because they are meant to be national you can't exploit the interface or the request system
I would say for a noobie Aither might be the best place after IPT. 1 year on MAM or getting invited?

To continue my argument that's like saying a Russian bazaar has more things for cheaper than your local Target store. No shit bro. But it's a different kind of experience. The bazaar is downscale and inconvenient. You can go to Target and buy the newest products that just came onto the market. The bazaar? Beggars can't be choosers.

Much of the content that is found on rutracker involves categories most western users would not find appealing. Like there are sections for rare Soviet era movies collected from TV airings and VHS tapes. A select few people would say "wait that's exciting to me!" But they could be countered with "there's no subtitles on them though." It's the problem of becoming a periphery consumer in an ecosystem designed to cater to a group of people of a different ethnicity who are speaking a different language. You are trying to meet them in the middle where your preferences line up with theirs. They don't care about getting the latest remuxes up as soon as there's a new Criterion remaster or whatever. They care that there's all these different Russian audio and subtitle tracks muxed in. At least on TL you can get stuff like CiNEPHiLES sometimes.
I'm not at all impressed with their "quality control" which just consists of don't be fake, don't be broken, have the required localization included.
>>
people acting like Myrient is a big blow to piracy and that they need to "preserve" them is hilarious
Don't they realize that archiving the same rom with the same language from 10 different region or anything that is mainstream with 100 seeder and that cost 10$ on the used market in inefficient?
Also why r/datahoarder is full of smug retard who leech everything from public and never seed anything?
>>
>>108261644
They are not a part of the culture. They are downstream of it. When things stop flowing their way they get confused. This is because they are all fucking retarded and don't figure out how to follow things upstream. How many of them are aware of what no-intro or redump sets actually are, besides seeing the name somewhere? This is why they act like it's a big deal when their slop distribution warehouse goes out of business despite the fact there are maybe 10 other public sites they could find what they're looking for on. If they learn how to get the dats and verify everything, keep it all locally, and help with distribution we wouldn't be having this conversation.
>>
That brings me to another good point I've never thought of before. Becoming dependent on any one source is bad. When it comes to public trackers there are not a lot of good options for some content. What if you really want to download a movie but rutracker has technical issues on that day? Trackers can simply shut down at any time for any reason, like rarbg did. People were coming to /g/ asking where to go for a long time after that because they didn't know any alternatives.
When it comes to private trackers I have many backups for the content I'm looking for. I'm on RED, OPS, BTN, HDB, PTP, KG, TVV, MS, GGn, TL, IPT, and others. The overlap between trackers means if one is fucked up I just use another one. It provides redundancy for my automation software as well.

>>108261702
Yeah just cross-seed between them and script the bookmarketed folder to open once a month lol. If you already in like RED, OPS isn't hard to join, same if you already in HDB, BHD/PTP/ATH aren't hard to join ...
Can also exploit the request/cross-seeding potential between them. I really don't get why people are trying to archive useless rooms everyone has meanwhile ton of rare niche movie/show barely have 2 seeders worldwide ...
>>
>>108261789
You were settled with 1 HD tracker as a backup. Then you joined BHD because it made sense just in case. Then ATH, in two years another HD tracker will pop up and you'll join that, then another one 5 years from now. Before you realize you'll have 10 HD trackers. Mental illness.

It's no shock at all that after learning to program the only thing he could think of making was a server for a protocol that hasn't been relevant since the 90s. He has never had an original thought in his entire life. He just does name one torrent or makes up stories about faking EAC logs.
He's like a literal NPC with a dialogue tree. Do Lithuanian people even have internal monologues? Lol he repeats himself so much. These things are like tics. He couldn't blend in if he tried.

Since the recent myrient talk, I thought about torrents. Imagine living in a world where people seed at least 1:1, Top 50 Rom collections for each system, with decent internet speed, then I thought: It has to be a private tracker, with a couple rules, or at least people with similar goals. But a walled garden for something that is about sharing and caring sounds gay as fuck.

Are shorts included? curious to see the number of each without short
Otherwise it looks like BTN would be easier to replace through TTV+HDB than PTP with ATH+HDB+KG

TTG has opened user invites on their 17th anniversary for minimum Terabyte users (500G download, 2.5 share ratio). I seed 15 hours per day and I earn enough bonus points for about 2.5 invites every year. What does TTG specialize in? TTG has the WiKi group who releases high quality bluray encodes. They also have NGB group who releases TV recordings of Asian dramas that contain multiple audio language tracks.

The death of myrient highlights a real problem, who is going to pay for the behavior of all these useless parasites? I feed public torrents with hacked servers because I can't afford to do it with my own money.

The only reason the walled garden exists is because people don't share. While some mainstream stuff will always be available, only a small number of people are actually interested in simply leaving their computers online to seed for a while. It's simple, it takes almost no effort, but most don't even want to do that.
I'm not happy that private trackers are so hard to join, but I understand the problem they are trying to solve. I'm not asking everyone to buy seedboxes or 24tb hard drives for their homeservers, I just wanted people to seed. But most don't want to contribute to a community, they want to take and not be expected to give anything in return. Then they'll cry when their favorite website goes down, while doing next to nothing to help build another one. All while complainig others are lazy for not taking the time, effort and legal risk to build something for ungrateful leeches to enjoy.
I'll still seed on public trakcers and cross-seed it on private ones, because I want to help people just like they helped me. But I don't blame those who don't wanna bother with public sites.

No its even worse: most people on the net would rather die than seed or upload something unique they have
Its like the Soulseek "trade only" niggers or datahoarders of which 99.9% content is sourced from free-use non exclusive places ...

Public shitters fail to comprehend the piracy supply chain. They think their free shit just falls from the sky. I bet they think if they donate to FitGirl the money will be used to buy more games. Fucking retards.

I'm less mad at all the public shitters for being useless leeching dead weight. If that's what they want to do whatever. More power to them. It's more annoying when they come into this space and try to bite the hand that feeds them. It's as if they are eating food from a dumpster but think it will still be there if they burn down all the farms. These ingrates don't have a clue.

Some real talk while I'm at it. Public shitter talk doesn't discourage me from sharing to the public. I think most people on public trackers or soulseek who get something from me appreciate it. I think most of them don't have gay ass ideological opinions about private vs public either. A lot of them probably don't know any of this exists.
The ones that do then come here and get uppity when they get told where their shit comes from on the other hand can all die. I'm not going to have an EMPRESS style meltdown on Reddit talking about how I'm not going to help anymore because I read a few complete losers with the wrong attitude.
Just using public p2p doesn't make you a public shitter. If you download off public trackers and stfu about it not trying to proselytize in private tracker related spaces that's fine. It's a mindset you adopt. Talking to a public shitter is like trying to convince a boomer of something. They have their mind made up. Any new information presented to them will be discarded. They will only become more obnoxious and more defensive no matter how much evidence is presented showing what you are saying is factual. They think they are experts on file sharing when they barely comprehend the basics.

Tell me, in simple terms, how I am wrong about my description of the supply chain of piracy causing public tracker users to be deeply dependent upon the existence of private trackers. You can be all dismissive saying kek or whatever but you can't make vague gay little swipes like this. Write a reasoned post attempting to dismantle what I already know to be fact for my personal amusement. I don't care about crunchyroll slop on nyaa either btw. Everything good on there (that you're too poor to download because you can't afford hard drives) comes from U2.

This is /ptg/. Just because you can't comprehend the idea of people doing these things because the little shitter communities on Discord you're easily impressed by can't do anything without money doesn't mean that applies to us. Most of the time you can take us at our word.

Private trackers serve my personal wants and needs for media consumption. Public distribution is my outreach to the people.
>I think most people on public trackers or soulseek who get something from me appreciate it. I think most of them don't have gay ass ideological opinions about private vs public either. A lot of them probably don't know any of this exists.
To share to the public is an act of kindness, expecting nothing in return. It's done to protest the current state of paying money to get a "license" instead of actual ownership of a product in most cases. Also just to help anyone who needs it. But it's not at all sustainable for everything on private trackers to be distributed to the public. Resources are limited. Even if I'm obtaining them illegally without permission! I cannot get enough to dump the whole of private trackers onto public ones, nor do I want to because it does not truly serve the public. Most people do not care about most of the data. It would only get used as AI training data which I do not support.

>>108264846
I don't care if someone chooses to use public trackers. But if they come to the private tracker thread to talk about my personal autistic obsession, private trackers, I will discuss it with them for hours. The only thing disappointing is that their arguments for public tracker evangelism were solidified in the torrentfreak comments 15 years ago. They have nothing new to say. I am constantly challenging these people to say something new and trying to think of something new to say myself but it gets so fucking boring hearing the same old shit repeated over and over.

private trackers are the most communist thing that exists in the piracy scene because they adhere to the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need". those who contribute to the community and do the hard work are rewarded the most. leechers are the capitalist class of piracy, they generate none of the value yet reap all the rewards.

This whole discussion of private vs public trackers is so stupid and mad I can't even believe what I just read. It's 2026, you dumb niggers. Piracy will be more and more frowned upon, governments will fuck us in the ass with the help of ai, and the only way we can prevent that and safeguard torrenting is by having multiple relatively small and well guarded communities. For the sake of us all. The ones who prove themselves will eventually join 'em private trackers and will be be better users overall then public shitters on tpb or 1337. Quality over quantity, retards. God you are so retarded it's unreal. It's like you found a good pussy for yourself and you're inviting a bunch of friends to fuck it. These retards are the same ones posting manga or anime shit in a technology thread, wah, disgusting faggots.

The supply chain only exist because most uploaders are massive faggots. Nothing's stopping them from uploading all content on public sites but their self-importance gets in the way and therefore they need to create their little sekrit faggot clubs to feel important. Be it scene or private trackers.

you should only share with people who will share back
if you share with leechers, that's wasted potential. lock it behind a share-wall.
if they don't want to share, well that's on them. no loss for you
but if they want the content you are sharing so much, that they will actually contribute something in return, then that's good for you and the whole ecosystem too
sharing with leechers will bring the end of piracy
>>

>>108265745
Makes sense. I will come back to this, when I have the motivation, to read into this secret faggotry. Or when the internet becomes more and more locked down. I'm so afraid of the future. I'm afraid that one of my 5. 20TB drives break, it feels like the industry is actively fighting against ownership. Now even MORE, because of ram/drive prices.

I was a normal (4chan addicted) person prior to college...I never watched anime besides the pokemon episodes that were the only thing on TV when I was in middle school.
Then I saw an image of Ika Musume. This guy on r9k just kept posting her. "Squid Girl, huh?" I thought to myself, amused by the concept and at some point finding out that there's an anthropomorphic anime girl for just about every thing in existence, including soda cans (Akikan, great stuff). So, I watched this Ika Musume. And I enjoyed it. And then I had to have more. More moe. More dumbass japanese comedy.

Using HTTP for tracker announces was a very big mistake in the torrent protocol. It creates a dependency on a flexible and changing protocol along with all the libraries needed to support it.
B-encode is good enough (but not perfect) for all protocol communications.

I agree. This is a very niche hobby, I didn't even know about it until I found this general by accident on /g/. I have nothing against people who use public trackers, I used them for many years myself and they always served me well. If you use public trackers, that's fine. If you know about private trackers and don't wanna bother, that's also fine. I find private trackers worth the effort, despite the challenges. Each to their own.
I will keep cross-seeding stuff from private trackers on public ones for as long as I pirate. But I am also interested in media preservation, and, sadly, public trackers don't have as many incentives as private trackers to achieve that. I wish private trackers weren't necessary and the internet was more open in regards to file-sharing, but I don't know of a better solution to people not seeding than private trackers.
>>108264719
>This is a huge turn off for me and I really would like to contribute, but private shit always seems so scetchy.
Honestly, I think you'd be a good fit for private trackers, you just gotta find the niche that you're interested in. Mine is (mostly) anime and manga, preferrably in my native language and otherwise in english. It feels good to have a community of people that care about sharing and preserving this stuff.
It's a bit hard if you're just starting out, but it's all documented on the wiki and the rest of the OP. Once you realize that all you gotta do once you're in is:
- Seed for as long as possible
- Be nice to others
It's only a matter of time until you can download anything you want. And of course, you can always ask here if you have doubts. Most anons will be respectful to you if you're respectful to them.
>>
>>108266934
Adding to this, the reason I got interested in uploading myself was because of private trackers. The community and all the resources they create are really good incentives to this, plus adding to an ever expanding, high quality library of content is a nice feeling. I'm learning in the process and contributing to something bigger than myself.

Thanks, I think I'll look into it. I don't even mind starting out without any specific access, I don't have special needs at the moment. The real home IP is a huge dea lbreaker for me. But I can see why it's necessary. I guess another option would be a seedbox.
