transition from public to private trackers !

whats your story ? :D how has it affected your real life ?

everything was so easy when i used to download from public trackers , search some indexing sites , download and forget it . after a while the download completes .

i go on with my usual stuff , studies etc etc

ok then i moved to private trackers . ok i loved the awesome speed , but began worrying about the uploads , ratios. spending more time in the internetz . filling up my HDD seeding shit i dont need to increase my "ratio" . reading the same old crap in the tracker communitez .

damn . i am gona switch back to public trackers :lol:

I had enough time for my real life when i was on public trackers. When moved on to private, had to spend lot of time to find out a suitable torrent to keep my ratio up. Now it's just like what i felt on a public tracker cause i've fair ratios in all trackers and gave up a lot of ratio fascist trackers.

I have no real life, that`s why I`m hanging around in private trackers.

the first taste of bittorent was through a private torrent site, thanks to my friend :D i was hooked straight away

there are quite a few advantages, but the most important one is: much better speed.

take a look at the open signup thread pinned at the board or read the wiaw thread there and try to get an invite for a site you might like.

in fact all the stickies there will be helpful to you.

But do I need to pay some money for join in a private tracker?

You should never pay to join a private tracker. You join private trackers through open signups or get invited by internet "friends".

no, membership on private tracker is and should always be free.

there are trackers who have open signups, which means everyone can register an account.

on the other hand there are tracker that are invite only, which means you have to know a member there and get invited to register.

edit: ups, tristan beat me.

I used to waste time trying to keep ratios etc, until ftn decided to remove ratios, and now i only leech what i want so :D
