Re: advantages of using public trackers over private trackers
Pros:
More Content
No Rules
Anonymity methods are allowed, no account needed
Cons:
Shitty quality content
Fakes/Viruses
Shitty speeds on the more obscure stuff you can't find on private sites in the first place
Shitty retention on all but the most popular content
Anti-P2P groups actively send out letters rather than just monitoring you
Idiots that HnR, cheat, don't seed back, etc aren't weeded out.

What you can't do that on private trackers? :O When was this decided? I hit and run like a motherfucker on TL and SCC and other various places.
90% just don't give a shit as long as you have a buffer. It's the funny truth.
Re: advantages of using public trackers over private trackers
no fear of getting your account disabled due to inactivity, one of the biggest advantage according to me.

Who needs to cheat on a public tracker if they don't keep track of ratios or don't care about them? :unsure:
Re: advantages of using public trackers over private trackers
People who use that fun "turn off your torrent's seeding capability" thing.
Re: advantages of using public trackers over private trackers
That's outright leeching, not cheating. :lol:

on popular torrents, it wont matter at all. But on less popular ones, it hurts the swarm in the long run..well, thats my take on it. Wont be discussing ethics of file sharing coz I don't have time for a prolonged discussion.
So, to each his own. Lets just leave it at that.
