Hi. Following on from my previous giveaway last month, I now have FOUR TorrentLeech invites that I'm just giving away. No bullshit, just say you want it and it might be yours.

My IRL friends wouldn't have a clue what to do with these so I'm just giving them away again.

I'll probably leave this up for 24hrs or so and then, as before, choose four people at random. Good luck :)

EDIT: I closed this early due to the crazy amount of responses. I took the number of responses (160!) and ran it through an RNG 4 times to make this fair. Congratulations to @whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com @SoaringDE@feddit.de @notdeadyet@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website

Invites are for giving to people you know and trust. Don't invite random people.

🤔

(I'm not saying it's good or bad. And I assume you made a conscious decision on it.)

thanks for ruining the party 😕

yes, I'm aware. As I said I don't 'know and trust' anyone IRL who would use this, so I'm offering them to people in the community who will hopefully use them responsibly. I'll coach any of those chosen if they're unsure and of course point them in the direction of the (very comprehensive) wiki.

Yeah just be careful, Torrentleech has been know to ban the guy inviting people who fail to follow the rules. So maybe do a rule pop quiz or something? Or ask how they plan to build ratio since that isn't exactly super easy on TL.

Huh? It cant be easier. With just a 2TB drive and 2 years I collected 8TB in upload on this tracker alone.
This is one of the easiest if you can seed 24/7

Don't know what you're talking about regarding ratio... TL have by far the most generous freeleech out there. Just grab lots of freeleech and after 10 days your ratio will be high. It's comical how easy it is to get high ratio on that site.

Sure if you use a seedbox or have a port forward VPN and a good connection. If you have a free VPN without port forward or just a slow connection then you won't be able to seed much due to everyone finishing their downloads super fast. Then building ratio can be really hard. Either way if you go in there just downloading the movies / games etc you want and leave them on to seed you won't, generally reach even 0.8 ratio. You need a strategy be that build ratio for days / weeks using the freeleech stuff or set up rss download of torrents for popular shows such that you get in on the seeding action early etc.

Edit: I've been a member for 14 years, I've seen countless people fail to maintain a good ratio despite trying.

Sounds like it's not the issue of the tracker at all. Just invest in a small seedbox either self hosted or get a proper non-free vpn. Not exactly rocket science...

And I agree, I have multiple TB both ways but if he gives away invites to whomever don't expect them to have seedboxes / a good torrent VPN etc without asking. It's hard if you're the person who only downloads the movies they want to watch and haven't ever thought about seeding more than leaving the torrent on for a few days. That "works" on RARBG style sites but of course doesn't work on a tracker like TL which bans permanently and do not give a fuck about your reasons.

How did I ruin the party? What does that even mean?

He's not wrong in principle, but I trust me, so add me to the raffle too please.

That would be nice, never used a private tracker before. I see people talking about some rules, I am not aware of them honestly so it would be nice of you to educate me on those if you decide to chose me, don't wanna be an arse unknowningly.

I have some free invites to some private servers as well (mainly BakaBT for anime/manga stuff and MyAnonamouse for anything books)

But inviting someone that wouldn't have a good ratio is bad, right?

It's fundamentally impossible for everyone to have a positive ratio.

yeah, but don't I get a penalty if I invite someone that would have a bad ratio?

No idea. I can see why they'd do it if someone was giving out invites to tons of people who literally do not seed, but you can't expect everyone to have a good ratio since they must all average out to 1.

I think most of the talk is just to encourage seeding.

i'm interested :3

maybe try asking if ur irl friends know torrenting, maybe they knew in secret

Thanks for doing this, I'd like to get one if lady luck smlles on me.

I would love a torrent leech account! I'm a power user with great upload ratios on public trackers and have yet to be able to get into a private one!

Count me in! I have a seedbox so building a good ratio isn't a problem.

Hey, I'd definitely appreciate an invite! I know they're limited but hey, can't hurt to ask

I'd love to try TL. I'm in another private tracker, but it isn't great if I'm being honest.

Did you give them away yet? I would like one. Anybody knows hoe I get an invite?

I am Spartacus! Thanks in advance and even if not selected, it's an honor just to be nominated.

Hey mate, I've got a seed box and seed forever.

Would love an invite. I have wanted to dip my toes into private trackers for years.

Sure ill take one

I would love one. Thank you for being so generous 😁

GL all!

I'll take one off u, if u still have Thanks

I'd be happy to take one, should you still have any to give out.

I would definitely put that to good use. Thanks for doing this!

I want it, thank you

If you have any left may I please have one? Thank you for helping out the community!

I would like one, if there are any left.

Thanks a lot, I’d like to have one (let the odds be with me 😅)

I'll add myself to this ever growing list of people wanting an invite!

I would also like one! Been looking for a private tracker invite for ages. 😅

Always wanted to get invited to a private tracker

Look online for open signups. Usually TL opens around eastern, summer, Black Friday and sometimes on Christmas.

Yes please! Missed the signups after RARGB shutdown, so it would be great to have one!

Hey would really like one if still available, been looking forward to getting into private trackers for a time. You also said that you'd be willing to coach and course point people, even if I don't win getting that kinda support would be nice :)

whats torrentleech got over any other number of open websites?

Better stuff than some public sites and software that can be more trustworthy than 1337x.

but how would i verify that? how would i know, that this site can be trusted more?

Research and believing in the good of some users.

Usually the comments on TL are dead for stuff like movies and TV. But for software they are quite active in comparison.

believing in the good of users? in the torrent/cracking scene? yeah idk about that one chief

*In the good to not infect you with malware because they actually want to hurt the big corpo.

This sounds better.

Significantly faster downloads and better retention compared to public

I don't pirate a lot but I also would like to see what's it like

It's not like a public tracker. Please watch out and read the rules before downloading.

Edit: The fuck am I being downvoted for? Inconsiderate users that want newbies to fail :|

That much I know. Thanks for the tip!

Basically your are being held responsible for seeding it either 1:1 or for some time if you cant reach that goal.

Longevity is rewarded on some trackers with more bonus points you can trade for stuff like Upload credits. The longer you seed, the more you can get per seed.

Usually privates can get exclusive stuff which trickles to public trackers but they also pull from public (like anime from nyaa) and reseed them here.
Some private tracker users are unable to download from public because either their ISP watches that more closely or their seedbox provider does not permit it/banned connections

The general quality is >=720p and usally a higher bitrate than public ones.

Sime trackers are general (like 1337x and TL), specific for movie and tv (like RARBG and Blu) and some others for topics like ebooks and audiobooks, music/-videos, learning materials.
Some may even only allow content that was produced >10 years ago (cathode) or something like cartoons (old toons) or culture specific (like jptv and nyaa) only.

First I'm hearing of cathode and old toons but I'm interested, are those private?

Yes and yes.
Keep an eye open for opensignup pages on the interwebz for trackers. Some open entirely while others you need to apply for with seed proof (public seed does not matter).

Some private trackers may have an invite forum. You could try to achieve a class with access to it (usually a high threshold of seed or commitment, showing you know how the rules of such sites work)

Thanks, I'll look into trying to get in, building up my TL ratio (unless they'd take my IPT ratio, but many don't.)

As you said, some may or may not accept the proof.
BUT: Some trackers proof may be worth less or more than others.

I'd be up for one. Thanks for doing this.

Would be really nice to sail away from the pirate bay
