As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they're doing.

Not selling or trading so hopefully this is still within the rules. If this gets a lot of responses I'll just choose someone at random.

Edit: this had a lot of responses and is now complete. In the interest of fairness I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - congratulations @TopRamenBinLaden

Stupid question but what is TL?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

TorrentLeech, private tracker

What is a private tracker?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

A tracker (a server/website used to track torrents uploaded to it by members; torrent clients require these tracker servers to know how to download the torrent) that is private (not freely accesible to the general public, typically needing a registered account).

Oh nice, I’m on IPtorrents already give it to the more needy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't hurt to have multiple. (At least, I hope, since I'm in like five.)

How in the world do y’all manage to get into so many? Granted I’ve not put in a ton of effort, but every time I look into getting into a private tracker, all methods seem closed or dead.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I followed /r/opensignups and jumped on a few. I did pay to get into IPT as my first, though. Worth it, imo.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/opensignups was my favourite sub, checked it daily and signed up for trackers whenever they were open

Interviewed for MAM recently, hoping to get into RED soon

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do we have an opensignups equivalent over here yet? If not we totally should!

Thanks, subbed!

(Edit: Oh shit "could not find.” subbed later when jerboa works!)

Oh no problem at all, thank you!

I'm using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What I used to do was look for high activity free leech, and then let it seed for a few weeks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@nevernevermore @CheekyYoghurts most if not all content on TL can be found on btdig or magnetdl.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't have anything to do with speeds mate, it's easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn't even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you'll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission (which is on 24/7) for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, but that's not what I'm saying. It's not about hitting good ratio on individual torrents, because as you've already seen that's actually very hard to do. You will have accrued points on those torrents, which you can then exchange for upload credit. This is probably where most people's ratio comes from on TL. Other sites are different, but TL is very generous in this regard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

wow, clearly I didn't read enough after sign up. thanks so much for the intel!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Get new, freeleech torrents. They don't count against your download, but you still get credit for any upload.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would love an invite, myself. This is super cool of you to do. Thanks and good luck everyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - your reply number. It's yours, my man. Send me a PM with your email address.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, I never win anything. This is awesome. Thanks so much for your generosity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice name hah, congratulations

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right on. I have been on TL since they offered spots at the beginning of the pandemic. Lots of high quality media there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes please!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Can you invite me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Been in TL for a while, great tracker. Don’t need the invite but take my upvote.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If your die roll chooses me, I promise to use it for good not evil.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a couple I'll never use too. Let me know who you send it to and I'll send a couple more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, do you still have one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Message me your email.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't want it but I'll upvote. Good on you internet stranger
