I've never tried to get into a private tracker, but if it's that good I'm definitely down to give it a shot!
It's definitely the best for books and audiobooks. The interview is easy, they ask you about the rules, just have them up in another window and repeat them back to them verbatim, don't try and get cute and rephrase them. They are really just checking that you read the rules.
Seeding is easy (3 days) and if you continue to seed you can purchase ratio very easily with the points.
I will say this though, it's a very WHOLESOME community. And if you participate in community stuff, you will be forced to be WHOLESOME as well. Personally, I usually just keep my head down and torrent and don't participate in forums / chat much.
Thanks for the info! An "interview" process makes me nervous.
It shouldn't. Like I said, they basically just want you to regurgitate the rules to them so they can make sure you've read them. You can even just have them open on another page. It's basically an open book test.
If it's like when I did it, you go into their IRC and get a basic interview. There might be a learning curve for setting up your torrent client, but the short of it is you want to respect their seeding rules else you might get kicked off. Their forums should have a guide for most major torrent clients as well.
i recently got in and it took me a bit to setup the dynamic ip thing to let me download from a vpn but it worked eventually
Ah, I forgot about that. Mine is dynamic as well but as I use Docker the VPN container let me easily add a script that would call their API and update that, IIRC.
yeah i have a docker container with a vpn and deluge and it kept getting errors until i found a fix on github haha
Oh, are they very strict with their seeding? I do try to seed as much as I can, but I only use a single laptop (so no pc or seedbox or anything like that), and it can stay off for weeks if I'm too busy to use it..
Not that strict, basically you have to seed for 3 days (seeding counts after the download finishes) within 30 days of downloading it. You can see your "unsatisfied" torrents on their site. So given your restrictions you should be fine.
