Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share with you two private torrent trackers accepting new users. Check out this site to register.

https://opentrackers.org/

Recently I was looking for BD disks of LOTR and other movies and finally I could get them thanks to these two trackers. Thanks to freeleech even without negatively affecting my ratio.

Trackers with private group of people with ussually better digital stuff, better organised, with admins, who actually care about development of their community, cause they're paid through donations, which give advantages to users like vip status or gigabytes to your ratio (download/upload), which is like a precaution to avoid poeple to just hit and run torrents, and it's hard to get in cause you need invite from someone within or get through open day opportunity, which is never or rarely, depends on the admins of tracker.

They are much more dangerous too. Why wouldn't some of these be honeypots?

Any torrent could be a honeypot, why would it only affect private trackers.

Because you register. It shows intent in a very different way than just using an open tracker.

Why would you make the honeypot private? Much better to cast a wide net if that's your goal. They're pretty much universally 'safer' and better quality in my experience
