This year I‘ll be able to upgrade to 25/25Gbps and I‘m planning on using at least 20Gbps for seeding 24/7. Is any maintainer of private trackers interested in inviting me?

sorry bud but no one is gonna invite you. since you are gonna up your speeds the best you can do is join RED through their interview and race till you reach Torrent Master or Elite Torrent Master and then get into other trackers through their official invite forums.

Thanks for the hint. Have been out of the game for 15 years and kinda lost all my contacts, since I was mainly using usenet the past few years

well usenet is a fairly better option too right (if you are in top usenet indexers)? why are you trying to move to private trackers now?

Not everyone is able to afford subscriptions of indexers and hosters. I just would like to contribute to the community with what I have.

Do you want to supplement your usenet sources? If so, what type of content/language are you looking for? Do you have any proof like screenshots of the old times left?

Things that should be answered before anyone would consider giving away an invite, because that is also a liability.

Yeah, I will keep on using usenet and just would use torrent as a supplement or additional source. Mainly only interested in movies/shows and games. But to be honest, I don‘t mind seeding other stuff for a couple of weeks, but will eventually have to delete it to save some space for the things I really want.

Maybe there are some screenshots on some old IDE drives or chatlogs of IRC, but I‘d have to invest a lot of time with low chances of finding something useful. So please, don’t trust me blindly. I know that trust has to be built first and that private communities can be fragile at times. So your questions are very valid and relatable :)

Coudn’t they start their own private tracker? With the requisite blackjack and hookers?

Technically yes, but I don‘t have the nerve and time to manage it properly and I wouldn’t want to host a mediocre service. Also legal stuff etc is making many things complicated.

Step 1: Join the private trackers that allow you.

Step 2: Create a setup that will grab and seed every freeleech known to man.

Step 3: Seed to capacity. Give it all you’ve got.

Step 4: Post proofs when applying/trading/asking for invites and watch as people shit their pants as you prove you can seed 1 Petabyte at every tracker.

It’s all about proof. You can go to employers and say “I’m the best engineer.” And maybe you are. But they don’t care.

Show them your portfolio of the bridges you’ve built, the parts you’ve designed, the projects you finished.

Show them proof. Put your worth on the table. And they will let you in.

You have the connection. Now you just need a fuck ton of storage to seed like a crazy person on that connection. Tons of NVMEs, and I hope your ISP doesn’t nab you for any torrents, hopefully not for private.

With enough storage and the right setup, you could be at like 400TB on every tracker in a year. Problem is you’ll probably run out of freeleech’s on smaller trackers, but on a bigger one you could fill up your storage, put your connection to work, and seed your way up the ladder.

When you have 3-5 accounts from good trackers with tons of buffer, that’s your key to getting in. Go interview at MaM and start there. Seed seed seed, and go from there.

Buy lots of storage, maybe set up a dedicated server at home for your awesome connection. Keep adding all the MaM freeleeches every 2 weeks. Never delete them. You’ll be at a kabillion in like a year. You’ll also have about 12TB of seeding just for MaM, but hey, that’s how you do it.

Fast connection, tons of storage, good workflow/setup. That’s how you win.

Because PTs want people with a fast connection, tons of storage…and a setup they can prove they know how to use. It shows you’ll be a good member.

Having a fast connection is only one aspect. You have to show the PT world that you know how to use it and post stats to prove it.

Also, ripping and uploading rare/new content helps, if you can do that too. Being an uploader totally proves your worth.

Do all that, screenshot your account stats after all that seeding, and you can get in anywhere. Show them you mean business. 300TB account, 1000:1 ratio. Impress them. You’ve got the connection for it.

Thanks for this very helpful response. The way you describe it makes absolutely sense and I will use this as a guide in the future.

Bandwidth is one part… Storage is theother and usually you have less storage than bandwidth anyways.

Very true. Currently I‘m only at about 45TB of space, but could extend it fairly easily to 198TB or more.

There are actually three parts:

  1. Bandwidth
  2. Space
  3. Personality/engagement with community

You can have number 1 and 2 but still piss off an admin and get banned for 3.

Oh I‘m not inexperienced in that area, so I absolutely know what you mean. I just kind of lost the connection to that scene.

Of course. I hope you can find a new connection to that scene. It sounds like you’re a reasonable person with a decent attitude, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble with admins, I wouldn’t think. Most admins I’ve dealt with are pretty fair, even if they’re not the most… amicable, let’s say.

It’s against the rules of most trackers to give out invites to randos, sorry bud. Find one that is doing an open sign up and register an account. Then figure out which torrent sites recruit from the site you signed up for.

Yep, I know, that‘s why I was looking for people who are the owners of the trackers and just need someone with decent bandwidth. Other than that it is just a game of patience.

I have no idea what you smoked, but 25Gbps (Gigabits per second) is 3.125GBps (Gigabytes per second)
