I use private trackers exclusively and I feel embarrassed looking what public sites have to offer, they have so fucking poor collection of things in the worst possible quality or no stuff at all. DDL sites will be behind ads and file sharing sites resembling early 2000s when speed was slowed down at purpose to buy premium account. Torrents are shit or have no seeds. The only exception is rutracker that is considered by me to be private tracker by quality of content. When my trackers are gone sure, I'll use rutracker. But when even this goes gets busted, I'm fucked content wise. With so much internet users, tons of sites and speeds faster than anytime in internet history why s piracy a big joke? Oonly elitist circle-jerks walled gardens are worth attention but it can be hard and time consuming joining them.

How do you pirate, excluding weebs? nyaa is shit compared to weeb private tracker but yeah for most it will fit the bill (and xdcc).

Normies started to torrent. Public tracker used to be more similar to privates. no one can support the bandwith and leeches of the general public. Also, all content has to be bought and supplied to the network at some point. Leechers will never contribute such a thing. Nevermind positive upload. You'll see that one or two days after a release you can snatch content off of public but it dies painfully fast after that. keep that in mind if it doesn't show up on PT's.

Private trackers and other higher effort piracy are the only kind to survive in the near future.

I always wanted to enter the world of private trackers but never really understood if i need a seedbox or where to start exactly. Most guides tells you to start with the red interview, is that really the right way? Do you actually have to upload new stuff or can i just give bandwidth? Help a nanon out.

I can find everything I need with public trackers. Why would you need private ones?

When I can't find lossless musics in TPB, I just use rutracker. But nowadays I mostly download Opus from youtube and fuck it.

>Normies started to torrent
This might be reasonable explanation, but it's not like there are no normies on private trackers (top torrents are popular in normiesphere, forums are typical) unless you mean social media idiots that barely know how to use web browser. It has something to do with legal alternatives (spotify, netflix etc) since they don't really care about quality.

Another explanation would be people are scared to download. It would be credible if not for the fact nyaa gets similar treatment even though no one prosecutes for animes.

>no one can support the bandwith and leeches of the general public
Why? If everyone seeded 50gb then hundreds of petabytes would be seeded. archive.org claims to have 48 Petabytes - just 96000 users seeding 50gb to keep whole archive alive. It's just statistic but you can see how easy it could be to keep content on the internet.

>Also, all content has to be bought and supplied to the network at some point
Most BDs are from Chinese P2P sites, they're racing who will be first to release (this sites usually have invites possible to buy). I think they keep it in walled gardens for the same reason encoders do - less chance to get caught and (I believe most important) uploading where people will appreciate it. No one gives a shit about BD50s or transparent encodes on public sites, they just want to watch shit, preferably HD 1080p in less than 2gb.

>Leechers will never contribute such a thing
Even in torrent world Pareto Principle applies - 20% of users have and produce 80% of quality content. If you check http://torrentinvites.org/trackerlist.php then you can see how few users top sites have and how much content originates there.

>You'll see that one or two days after a release you can snatch content off of public but it dies painfully fast after that
This, it's embarrassing.

>Private trackers and other higher effort piracy are the only kind to survive in the near future
I don't like the concept of keeping quality torrenting underground. Ironically I'm the one privileged but I can again be in the same position where all doors are closed (they weren't back then).

Torrents are the best way of sharing files at cost of privacy. Solutions like I2P or Perfect Dark are far from being perfect, would require lots of users (every user is a node) and would be very slow.

>>4906
In my opinion the best method is through animebytes - they open from time to time application where you have to write your torrent experience and favorite series (or music albums). Then upload 10 files (transcoded music, games, stuff not uploaded etc), get upload (20 or 30, I don't remember) and you will get access to power user forum. Trackers recruit there but keep in mind some require your account to be old (like 3 or 6 months).

red interview not only takes hours to take it (queue), taking speedtest on cucktest.net and answering technical questions like if x can be transcoded to y, is it allowed on the site, what is VBR and other things I'm afraid I would have problem answering (you can cheat but you have to be fast and not actually browse interview site as they can see it). Assuming you make it, you need 5 uploads (no big deal if you have CDs especially foreign) and 25gb of upload to get power user and uploading is VERY HARD. THERE ARE NO BONUS POINTS!!! Raw upload. Good luck because for one 100% log FLAC torrent you will get 1:1 (400mb torrent - 400mb uploaded) even if shit is new as tons of seedboxes will eat it. I said 100% log FLAC because other shit is seldom downloaded (there is a thread where you can post your unsnatched torrent but it has to be 100% log FLAC). I don't know what is in power forum because I never made it despite uploading more than 5 FLACs.

For quick fix you can join private trackers that have open registration https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenSignups/ but choice will not be the best. Or just use rutracker, it's the closest equivalent to private sites (it used to be semiprivate).

>>4907
I checked out of curiosity and stuff is low quality or not existing. You probably don't care about quality as I do and considering we have 2019 and hard drives can keep lots of data for me standard has to be kept. Private sites are the only places where my autism is satisfied and change for public stuff would be very painful.

If you're a weeb then you're biased because anime doesn't have private encoders like for movies and pretty much everything is posted on public sites. Not that all are kept seeded.

Nanonymous No.4914 [D] >>4915 >>4916

It depends on the tracker. AnimeBytes for example has a really easy economy and I get by just fine using only my home connection. Interview questions for private trackers are usually pretty easy. They are mainly a retard filter. If you do get denied just try again and hope someone else reviews your application. The benefit of uploading stuff that you already have is that it doesn't count as any download from you meaning it will only increase your ratio. Another thing you can do is cross seed in which you download the files from somewhere else, but with the same hash, and then you seed it on the private tracker too. Again doing this will allow you to seed content without hurting your ratio. Depending on what tracker you want to get in, how it precisely works will differ.

>AnimeBytes for example has a really easy economy
All 1080p, BD and DVD images are freeleech so you have to try to fuck up your ratio and they don't ban for it. But their seeding time system (72 hours if less than 10gb, for every next gb 1 hour ex. 11gb - 77 hours) doesn't encourage to download large files. Bonus system isn't generous but implying you'll need it.

Nanonymous No.4918 [D]

this is private tracker thread NOW

I enjoy thinking how tracker economies resemble that of real world

hard economy (redacted): rich get richer, poor get poorer, visible elite with enormous buffer, stronger will win (the ones paying for seedboxes and configuring auto download), no seed time requirements
soft economy (most trackers): easy to get points if you seed large amount of files, equality, fair rules, elite not so visible because everyone willing can make buffer, helping users if you get in trouble (literally post your favorite movie or photograph pancakes and get bonus points), lax seeding time rules
ratioless (broadcasthenet, mtv): no ratio at all, harsh rules on seeding time
public trackers economy: anarchy, anything goes

For me soft economy is the best because it benefits normal users and encourages seeding, sites thrive on that; hard economy forces you to seed without any chance of actually getting buffer; ratioless usually have strict rules so it's not as carefree as one might think.

>If you're a weeb then you're biased I can find bluray on btdigg/tpb. What exactly do you find in private trackers? The ProRes 444 files from the company who produced it?
I joined AnimeBytes for some time. Couldn't download anything or was too slow. Also, everything in there I could easily find on nyaa, even more obscure things.

Private trackers are autism.

Nanonymous No.4921 [D] >>4922 >>4924

>>4920
Music albums (checked few kpop artists as they are quite niche), less known movies in x264 HD, less known music albums in .flac, BD images, P2P encodes, foreign music and so on. I would believe you if I never used private tracker.

>I could easily find on nyaa, even more obscure things.
Stuff will be, but not in the quality you will want. Are you fine with reencodes and mp4/avi in 2019? Besides are anime series are out in public, animebytes doesn't have internal encoders per se, unlike HD trackers. Do you watch non-anime movies or listen to non-japanese music? Then you won't know what I talk about.

>Private trackers are autism
Seems like you don't have particular needs in terms of entertainment. I don't blame you, it's just that I like my music in .flac format and movies in x264, whenever possible. I even bought one film to make sure I have best version and not some reencode.

Then trackers are filled with rereencodes, even worse. Good encode is transparent to source, you can't get better than that unless someone leaks movie from studio, but this doesn't happen and imagine size of this.

I don't torrent shit beyond anime and the occasional new game, the open sites generally have what I want. From what I've read here I'd never get into a private tracker anyway since I can't be assed to upload shit myself, nor would I have anything. My share ratio is 2,4 at least, top ratio is on Lolicon Angel with 48. Porn gets leeched, who knew?

Nanonymous No.4938 [D]

I blame the streaming sites. Regular Joes are just too lazy to torrent, so they go to shitty illegal streaming sites and watch adds and insist on how convenient that is.

>>4933
I asked content-wise, you didn't give one example of the exclusive shit.

I'll be devil's advocate, so I'll take you on and I'll use as example this torrent: befba648b9c4c2412c8bea61be91c52f689ad4cf (31,5 GB bdremux of Körkarlen with ktl 24-bit soundtrack in pcm I want to, after encoding to flac, mux with gcjm release, stripping subs and the in and out commercial and disgusting original soundtrack, then add to collection of what I'll release when I'll be finally doing tpb account) and these three sites: btdiggwzoyrwwbiv.onion, torrentzwealmisr.onion & torlook.info, first two are crawlers, third rutracker.
But beware, I'm not saying public trackers are best, but are best because you are doing what you want others to do, share stuff you want to be shared in quality that's precedent, with whomever wants said stuff easing their job as they won't have to do the same, publicly, and I don't have that autistic requirments as the usual, more or less transparent, 1080p releases with bitrate between 7000-17000 satisfy me, depending on many things, EA being by far the best among them (whose encodes I follow with mine), CiNEFiLE by far the worst, and I'm no archiver either, there are reels and lossless scans for that, I want transparent with little overhead and lossless audio(it's all mono or stereo taking nothing with flac -12 anyway, even more so compared to lossy 640 ac3 or 1509 dts because (((standards)))), no dolby faggotry, which is exactly what EA encodes are, most of the time.
And look, the small encodes being just below fat32 capacity have purpose and some are pretty good as well, like b54ad1d357169e6539cabd7ae1663ee660ef650d being transparent but with no lossless track, of course yify and such don't even exist in my world, being worse than 700mb mpeg-2 dvdrips. As for seeding, I seed, whether others do or do not has nothing to do with me, I have over 20 ratio on some relatively big torrents (12gb) despite being the only one seeding constantly. I don't care what others do. I have to say that I don't seed those I have intent to reencode anymore or already reencoded, because I would run out of space.
>fast speeds
Whole time being somewhere between 4000-3000 kB/s with 2-3 seeders, my ideal as I didn't need to set a limit on it, because I download other too, and for example Effi Briest(1974) from usury I downloaded in similar fashion. Currently have 2,4 ratio there after two days, seeding it right now too, nice.
>stuff in best possible quality
Bdremuxes or bluray, but you'll need to tinker with some, unredacted as in dupes, sometimes, and raw audio as in my case, in worst case not having lossless track or being encoded so badly it's unsaveable, like the Viridiana bdremux I recently downloaded 862e48b937cf38039c701721ae1c9984d5c95d14, but I didn't check other rips yet, so maybe it's the original that sucks.
>exclusiveness
Why would I need that? My torrents are exclusive to those who are interested enough. Why would I seed stuff to the same retards who occupy public trackers but got lucky enough to be on private tracker and taking pride in it? Yes, the questionnaires suck, they do retarded encodes as well, things never change because they have to suck dick of the people who made the bluray, respectful niggers, same with their retarded "rules" resulting in abominations sharing pcm/lpcm or including the retardation called dts-hd ma. If the private tracker didn't delete blued Solaris off its catalog whole site stinks too, having no moderation like public sites, check yours for that soy, so much for the exclusivity. film is shit as well: tarkovsky, it doesn't even capture the way better, but still shit book
>ibrary of files, tons of stuff
I have that too.
>sense of accomplishment
? I certainly wouldn't get that on private tracker, but I get it on public tracker where I know anyone who wants it can get it, unlike using sekrit discord room of p2p.
>rare stuff, niche stuff, stuff no one wants, stuff that has one (1) seeder on private site, implying it exists on public tracker
example
stuff no one wants is for personal archivers who want to archive for archiving, not because it's good, like, why would I download this little obscure shitty giallo giallos are all shit, none of them obscure, btfo burgers, ep from mr.kitty or unwatchable vhsrip
>easiness of discovering, snatch recent files based on tags or lurk
This one I'll give you, although it doesn't matter to me, I know exactly what I want and I know exactly what else is there and what isn't. Movies are, almost all, inherently, hypnotic, submersive and antipoetic propaganda, so I choose carefully, I don't want my hobby to kill life and what's good in me. More so if you choose cinema over home kino every single time possible.

I'm surprised you can find stuff like that on public trackers. I would say it's hit-or-miss with such heavy things.

>first two are crawlers, third rutracker
I got to know them today.

>but are best because you are doing what you want others to do, share stuff you want to be shared in quality that's precedent
Meaning 1080p in less than 2gb, xvid encodes, x265 or maybe something even more crazy? Sorry, but this is unacceptable to me considering it can be done better and that earliest x264 encodes I've seen was done in 2007 (no kidding). Public sites mainly aim to meet demand of cattle wanting "just stuff" no matter if codecs are right, picture is close to original or audio isn't some 64 kbps (it happens with very shit torrents!). Since I was kid I wanted HD movies but what I expected was not met until I joined serious private trackers. Maybe I didn't give them chance, no use recalling.

>and I don't have that autistic requirments as the usual
I left impression I only watch untouched discs. No, I'm fine with DVD quality if it's mkv x264. I want human treatment of my files and not shit transcodes.

>1080p releases with bitrate between 7000-17000 satisfy me
That's acceptable bitrate, you're more autistic than you present yourself actually. Most sources have around 34000 so half of it is good (some 720p releases have around 700 but it's still more than I expected.).

>EA being by far the best among them
You do know EA is hdbits internal? All of this you have on you hard drive originated from private tracker. They are so called P2P groups. Other include VietHD, CtrlHD, DON, EbP, SbR, CRiSC and so on. hdbits is arguably the best site for HD, fortunately they find place on other sites so we can enjoy them (I'm not member but I enjoy their encodes).

>of course yify and such don't even exist in my world
Good.

>I have over 20 ratio on some relatively big torrents (12gb) despite being the only one seeding constantly
Public sites always make impression they're dead with one or two seeders when they actually are heavy downloaded but no one is seeding back. On private one seeder numbers are valid and if torrent has one seeder than probably it might not make it. Scary considering plug off = dead torrent. You're responsible person.

>Whole time being somewhere between 4000-3000 kB/s with 2-3 seeders
That's faster than I expected.

>exclusiveness
>sense of accomplishment
I was fooling around. I hoped you wouldn't take it seriously.

>example
What do you expect me to do? List all torrents I snatched that can't be found on public or in specific formats? I'm afraid I would deanonymize myself by listing that but I'll try.

BDMVs are not common for non-mainstream movies (your examples are rare), foreign stuff (no US/Eastern Asian/Russian-language world), foreign or really niche .flac music, decent x264 encodes, P2P encodes and so on.

>This one I'll give you, although it doesn't matter to me
It is vital for me. That's how I discovered really nice movies I wouldn't enconter via legal method and I doubt I would stumble on them on public sites (who knows).

>share some, for the sake of thread
I meant passthepopcorn, the best movie site. I'm paranoid to take my own pictures so look at this capture. Some funny include like "Dog dies" (removed because who chooses films based on that?)" "bleak, depressing", various movie festivals and many more, from the top of my head. No imdb stands chance.

>disclaimer that I'm on kg
for newfags kg = karagarga, private tracker for niche movies
So you're not as ball deep in public as I assumed. From what I know it's really to get buffer there so it's not as enjoyable as other sites.

>private trackers are discord for filthy poor rich riches
I'm not rich but I value good stuff. If I lose access to private sites I guess it won't hurt as much as I predicted, good for me, but I'll feel pan nevertheless.

Meaning primarly sartre7's hevc(what do you have against x265?) rips around 7000 Kbps, being virtually transparent like the heavy lawrence of arabia df85140ff149b0025003f7899097d8e3607bd1a9 which is actually only 3000 Kbps, masterpiece of a rip unlike tigole shit, who has done only few good, some of his encodes are the same quality as x264 at that bitrate, sartre7 did some good under-4gbs x264 encodes as well back in the time, like Despair f9c39f503cabfaa68dfa1f13cfb989e3383f51f1 or Il conformista b582c7a15c844cc65a839fac3c40a942a61847e4, being just on the verge of acceptable, or ea's rip of daisies 5bd57095f8a4109903df33b27beadf0822db42cd, 720p, but better than all the 1080p out there, virtually transparent as well, crisp as fuck, or gcjm's video which is always encoded very good at reasonable bitrate, worthless for seeding thanks to dolby shit, none of his releases are seeded too, literally, all leechers stuck somewhere for year or more on some, but that's his own fault, not constantly seeding his own torrents, knowing the situtation but not being aware he's a faggot, so he quit. He even posted some chomsky shit, chinese cocksucker, what would you expect? For the smaller encodes by groups/people focused on them hon3y doesn't do bad encodes, best example being Orphée 6f38d864c07b320c097abf466d10cfa1d7611b34, in general b&w/tinted films don't suffer much from being below 4gbs, having smaller bitrate.
Summa summarum, depends what you focus on, I take those as my precedent, good public rips and good private, now public rips.
>Public sites mainly aim to meet demand of cattle wanting "just stuff"
Often yes, but there are people like me and reposters reposting from private ones, which are 3/4-shit 1/4-good too. In the end the best you can do is making muxes/encodes yourself, x264 doesn't take long when you don't do retarded 2/3-passes instead of crf and have something more powerful than core2duo.
>audio isn't some 64 kbps
Yes, etrg and yify do 96, but the better yifys, vppv and vxt, got it right so they makes 6 channel 384 and not 224 not even in he-aac like in some better cases other faggots release it, yify normally downmixes it to 2 channels. Yes, I know, because vxt does korean flicks.
>They are so called P2P groups
I know, EbP is good as well, can't say the same about shameless DON or CtrlHD. VietHD is worst name ever, so I never downloaded anything his. Just like I know about rarbg, prime and the one starting on V followed by some number and publichd, if they have some internal as well I don't know, I know nothing about them just like with hdbits and don't care, what matters is the name of the encoder, not the site on which they publish, it eventually gets on public trackers and then nobody cares but about the encodes of individuals or judges every encode independently, like one should. God bless public trackers, where shit gets both called out by europeans and praised by indians, and the good goes down to 1-3 seeders keeping it alive for others who don't want to hang around people having taste like criterion collectors eating shit saying it's ambrosia, bad and big going completely dead unless there are some dedicated soyboys.
>responsible person
No, I'm egoist with good enough bandwidth hoping someone will pick up the torch someday so when I'll delete it for some reason, I won't have to fear it's lost. And the more people watching what I want them to watch the better.

2 or 3 examples, for example.
>non-mainstream movies (your examples are rare)
>foreign stuff (no US/Eastern Asian/Russian-language world)
For me that's foreign stuff.
Not at all, having in queqe bdremux of Orphée and of Die Marquise von O..., second being seeded, first not, almost all Rohmer's films have public bdremuxes, even some of his shorts, to make an example of him, just like almost all restored french/german/italian/swedish/czechoslovakian/hungarian/spanish/danish films, and if not bdremux, then good rip, usually with flac track. Worse situation there is with restored brazilian/argentinian/portugese/mexican/romanian films.

I have browsed images boards since the beginning of medical school, all they way though my residency, and now professional medical practice and I have never watched anime in my entire life--not even Pikachu.

For the first one there's MyAnonamouse http://torrentinvites.org/f36/myanonamouse-mam-e-learning-2019-review-508688/
Fortunately, they have IRC interview and from what I know it's easy to pass https://www.myanonamouse.net/inviteapp.php
but they don't have very powerful invite forum though I might be wrong.
For music, you would have to aim for Redacted or Orpheus. Both have IRC interview that takes ages to get interviewed and can be hard to pass (technical bullshit). RED is clearly the best but making it to Power User (invite forum to other trackers) is really hard even if you upload your CDs.
