[GONE] Giving away a TL invite. Not selling or trading, it's just yours.

CheekyYoghurts@lemmy.dbzer0.com to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 177 points –

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?

TorrentLeech, private tracker

What is a private tracker?

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

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

Lmao I’ve got about 14

Hey can you send me an invite? I've been very interested in it for a long time

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Freeleech and permaleech if you dont want to get a seedbox

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

well you can always cheat, just do it on torrents with a lot of activity and make it so that you only get like 1GB per day per torrent, you will never get caught

I’ve actually been looking for a private tracker.

Would really be interested. I'm really missing RARBG and was too late for open signups...

That seems generous; I’d like it if you’re willing. If not, hope whoever gets good use out of it.

I'd love it if I get lucky. I promise to use it for evil, not good, but the good kind of evil.

I'll put my hat in the ring.

I seed, I have a 1.5 ratio on IPT and I didn't buy it. I do use the bonus points but I mean, c'mon, the'yre there!

Been looking to get off IPT though because of the owners sketchyness, so I've been recently looking for a new "home."

What’s sketchy about the owner? I’m on IPT and TL, but don’t pay attention to anything about who runs them.

Well make sure to use unique login info, from what I hear the IPT guy has been known to use people's info to get into other trackers when they had poor enough opsec to use the same pass/email. Iirc there was other stuff too, IPT isn't accepted as proof by most other sites and I'm sure people will chime in here with more sketchy things from the site, but I don't remember. Still I have no other option until the day when I get another option lol.

I was able to use my IPT ratio to get approved for TL. Perhaps it’s because I’ve uploaded multiple TB more than I’ve downloaded, but it was enough to get me approved.

I’m here for it. If it’s still available :)

I am very interested in this kind sir. If you want I can give you an IPTorrent invite in return?

I’ve been adrift since baconBits shut down. Would love an invite.

Same. And I missed the window before they shut down, so I have no resume for other sites. 🫤

I have strong opinions on the baconbits folks. I'm happy they're gone. "humiliate yourself so we unlock your account" get bent clowns.

Sounds like there’s two sides to that story.

Nope. That was their stated policy if your account went stale.

Here ya go. https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/poet9c/baconbits/hcwjt9n/

The link you sent has very little context so I’m not certain what you want me to see. It’s a post about SSL and has one additional comment. I find you to be not helpful and off putting. Perhaps there’s more to the ban than whatever you’d like me to see.

🙄 I never said I was banned. If you're going to be intentionally dense, I'm not engaging with you.

Not being intentionally dense. You post something inflammatory and give little to no explanation other than a link that doesn’t help and call them clowns. Ok bud. 🤡

In the middle of a move, I hope to homelab a setup at my new location but currently a newb (essentially). Can't use this yet but upvoting for coolness.

Would love to get into TL. If anyone has an invite they'd like to pass out, please shoot one my way!

Have fibre internet, 1gb up. Typically seed a 3:1 ratio at a minimum.

Edit: Got an invite. Thanks so much everyone that offered!

I’m in a position to seed quite well since my connection is uncapped, and I’d be happy to share some rarer finds of mine. Unfortunately the power grid where I live is unstable as shit so might not be the best choice. Up to you I suppose, OP.

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

Would love to get an invite!

I would absolutely be interested in this as well. When What.cd and Empornium shutdown I migrated over to Usenet, but I have really missed the wide availability of torrents since then.

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

I’m here for it if it’s still available :)

I am also looking for an invite, so fingers crossed ... 🫰🏻

I wouldn’t mind trying out if your giving one away

I would like an invite if you have any available 🥹🙏

I could definitely use it with rarbg being gone. Thanks for doing this though very cool.

If there’s any invites still available I’d like to have one! I have a seed box and am a member of several other private trackers with good ratio so I promise to be good!

Great to pay it forward. Am interested and grateful if chosen. Enjoy the weekend.

Been trying to get back into a private tracker for a brief little while, rolling for a chance

I'll add my name to the invite lottery! Just got fiber internet, so can start seeding more.

I would love an invite! I seed 24/7, just need a new home since bacon bits shut down.

I'd love an invite! It'd speed up my workflow a lot.

If there are any left I'd love one. I was actually looking for some new private trackers to join today.
