Public or private tracker?
On private trackers we can request stuff and others will have a look if they have it or if they can get it on their trackers.
Unfortunately it's difficult to upload stuff on many trackers but it's easier on quality trackers. The source is even open source so I do not understand why many trackers still have a bad website.
How long are you searching for? Sometimes it just takes time until someone uploads it. That's the beauty of servarr. You request it and some day it'll pop up.
Hmm maybe usnig servarr is the way to go. I couldn't really figure out how I was supposed to configure it. Ideally I would just wanna use a VPN, TPB, and qBit and not fiddle around with any additional programs. It's already confusing enough! But I guess servarr is something I can incorporate into qBit?
TPB isnt the best source for media and it can't really hold up to its past glory anymore - you could give other sites like 1337x.to a try
Any tips on getting in to a private tracker these days? Don't they all need invites from friends?
You can easily find working trackers by looking into the list of trackers that prowlarr provides. If a tracker isn't on that list, you don't want to get into it.
You search for your language and the desired content and then you open 10 tabs for 10 trackers. Some can be closed directly because there are no open registrstions. For the other 5 you send a text about yourself and your torrent experience and behavior. The content you are looking for, the quality and what you can provide. Your setup, etc. Copy paste the text to those 5 and you'll get invited to at least 3 of them. You can also just start out with one. It doesn't need to be your desired or final tracker. It needs time to understand torrenting anyway. Just being on one is a good start. Setting up servarr takes time as well. Use 1337x.to and just look for your first tracker.
Thanks i'll take a look at prowlarr. I am familiar with 1337x and a couple other public trackers, sadly they don't have the ones I am looking for :(
Successful?
I have been building a new server so haven't looked around yet.
