    i always thought "private" has something to do with invite-only sites - i may be wrong? i tried some of the above mentioned sites and no wonder why they are "open": they dont offer anything attractive. maybe i checked the wrong sites?
    The sites that host the private trackers can either have open membersip sign-ups or an invite system.

    The difference between public and private trackers is that public trackers can be hosted on any public site. A private tracker can only be hosted on its own site and can only be downloaded/uploaded between the members of that site.

    Private trackers ensure that people share. No leech only allowed!

    It's all good dude im always hunting for new sites alot dont seem to last very long but you never know some could turn into great sites.A couple of the sites on that list give you a 5 gig upload credit when you join too which i thought was a plus.

    They are private in the sense that there is a limited amount of people per tracker, most of them are limited to 4 or 5 thousand people. Once their initial growth happens you require invites to enter. Also there is strict demand for maintaning a good ratio which open trackers dont require

    From what I´ve seen of the private tracker "world" they are only worth having if you like 0day stuff or want to get specific types of files. The few TV-only, Movie-only and music-only trackers that I have been invited to are very good.

    It is very rare for a good private tracker invite to be available on a forum, try making friends at whatever tracker you are at and you might get invited to a really good one.

    thanks Hermiod and ghurka. now i understand...

    yeah the good ones seem to be those, that are already closed

    the tip to make friends in the forums is a good one, thanks. so far i always was way too lazy to use trackerforums, but this makes sense

    btw, i like the idea of karagarga, where you have to apply (telling them your favourite movies, books, music etc) for an invitation. in my opinion this is the best way to get really good quality in the site. wondering why not more trackers use this method - ok, maybe it would take a little more time and work

    A lot of the newer sites with open sign-ups have very few seeds and leechers so your either gonna take forever to download it or not be able to seed it back.

    One of the better and older private trackers is Araditracker. Good selection and excellent speeds. I think sign-ups are still open. A word of warning though, if you make any comments about the download don't flame the uploader and don't comment on anything you didn't download from there.

    Another excellent site is RevolutionTT.

    A few sites now offer a "Share ratio", it gives points to users that keep seeding files, this helps a lot to all of us whitch have low upload/download speeds.

    I´ve noticed the quicker you get a file since its release, the better ratio you get. Getting old files on private trackers is not good.

    Yes i like sites that do that gives you a little to look forward too even though with or without it i would still be seeding.I don't feel right if i dont seed at least to 1/1.Makes me feel like a cheap whore if i don't lol.

    thanks ghurka. I barely finished signing up for both of those. They're seem pretty established, not like some sites just fresh into the scene. Thanks
