I'm making an ongoing series of posts where we discuss something as a community, then I add it to the mega-thread for future reference. This has been an reoccurring question so figured I'd cover it next.

Where do you guys go for news and updates regarding open signups?

The two places I'm aware of:

Opentrackers.org - Updates have seemed a little lacking lately with many open signups being posted with a long delay or not at all.

OpenSignup Telegram Channel - Much more up to date but with the downside that sometime it gets flooded with junk/ads/spam.

What's the benefit of private trackers?

Do they really have more content and better speeds?

I've seen claims of better privacy but just over the last month iirc there were a few in trouble.

I could probably drum up a lot of reasons, but if i had to pick one, I would say retention. I can decide I want to download an obscure movie that was uploaded 15 years ago and not only is it still on there, but I can usually even download it at full speed.
