On the TL forums I've read a lot of topics about people receiving infringement letters from their ISPs. So I am getting a little worried. Should I change TL with something else? I also have account on Zamunda. Do you think it's safer to download form there because it's Bulgarian tracker? What do you think is the safest tracker to use?
Given the fact that Zamunda has over 600000 users, I wouldn't find it safer than TL.
No tracker is 100% safe, but if you download from sites like SCC, ScT or FTN (hard to get) I think you should be fine.
Keep TL and use actively IPfilter.datQuote:

My opinion, get yourself another 0day/general tracker(I suppose the smaller, harder to get into sites are safer than the big ones) and use TL as a backup for their older files that aren't easily found on other sites. The copyright notices in their forums appear to be mostly for brand new files(blockbuster movies, new big games, etc).
As funkin said, most of the copyright notices seem come from newly released blockbuster hits, among others.
Avoid CAMs, workprints, early releases, etc. like the plague, especially on larger sites like TL. If you really want one of those releases, try getting them from a smaller, less well known site.
One-click hosters would also be safe, I think.Quote:

There is no safest tracker. It is a myth. All the internet traffic has to pass through lines, nodes, ISPs etc. No matter how much you encrypt it there is always a way to decrypt it. If the Governments want to find about a particular tracker they can do so very easily. But following are some guidelines to find a safer tracker!
1. First of all the tracker should not be a known P2L. There are quite a few sceners who are special enemies to such trackers.
2. Should not be very well known. Your precious SCT was one of the most insecure tracker on earth because every one seemed to be know its name and url.
3. The smallest the better. It is on the assumption that the Agencies would not waste time running tiny trackers but would rather go after the big names.
4. It should be harder to get in.
These four conditions do not indicate towards a safest tracker but they would help you to find a safer tracker.
Do you think SCC meets these requirements?Quote:

But anyhow that is the case with most of the known trackers trackers. The same thing can be said about TL, GFT, HT, DDT etc. You should probably look for some secret tracker if you are experienced torrenter. If you can't find one then the safest prcedure would be to log in through a paid and reliable proxy system for downloading and browsing. I think such a thing is called VPN if I am not wrong.
any tracker can be safer with a seedbox. Xirvik comes with http proxy.
so wrong :happy:Quote:

If you can get invited to a tracker, don't you think an anti-P2P employee who gets PAID to get into these sites can do it too?
Yawn @ paranoia.
you got that right.Quote:

Where does this secure v/s insecure tracker debate come from?
i think all "national" trackers are good enough as long as you're foreign to them
i'd say uk-t and sct.Quote:

Are we only assuming this? (and yeah it's better to be on the safe assuming side, but that's not my point).
For you, all trackers are "safe".
In fact, even for torrent staff trackers are safe unless they do really naughty things.
Feds will spend their money taking down the source (ftp's, release groups) rather than spending money to take down one torrent site and watch 3 more pop up..
Why waste money trying to take down one distributor when they can go after the source and kill all distributors?
And even if they go after a torrent site, they'll take out the staff and uploaders if anyone... :/
TPB is safe; the bad guys go for the owners; not users.
They'll still try to catch you if you're within their reach - or at least send you a letter. I'd advice using an IP filter and being careful with what you download from TPB.
Thats a good question I been asking myself that for a longtime i just try to limit my dl's to what I need and not go crazy on a tracker.
Na. If your going to use a tracker then use it. If they want you then they will get you :fear:
