Just making a pinned post with some extra information this will likely be edited over time.

First off sorry for leaving this place rotting for a while, life got in the way & I lacked the funds for some hardware for automation I want to run here.

Whats the plan?

Im currently writing a bot which will be able to parse the r/Opensignups subreddit to automate reposting stuff from there to [email protected] , ETA on that is about a week as my Python is (very) rusty.

I should also now have time to begin writing a wiki section on PTs, hopefully over time this can become a comprehensive resource for newbies to the tracker scene.

The plan is for this community to become a fairly decent news source for the goings on in the PT world, for the time being much of the (actually noteworthy) news will be posted from reddit and hopefully will also have some user generated stories, advice and information from the community here on lemmy in due course!

Resource list.

https://hdvinnie.github.io/Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet/ comprehensive list of decent PTs with information about each one.

https://invite.icu/ Website to calculate how long it’ll take to get into the more elite PTs

Further tips.

I cannot state this enough use a separate email for PT activities and never share passwords between them, there have been occasions wherein a tracker has been compromised or a operator has gone rogue and has used account details to do malicious things.

If you are in Germany use a VPN or risk very nasty fines, anyone here will likely already know what im talking about but if you’re new and live within Germany do not torrent without a VPN, even PTs may pose a risk.

Check out the megathread and various resources on the main [email protected] community, absolutely fantastic resource.

Milkie.cc invite thread.

Milkie.cc is a low tier "semi private" tracker that has no ratio (so no worries of getting banned over a minor mistake) that has the unusual feature of allowing all members to give out as many invites as they wish (hence the semi private status).

This in my opinion makes it perfect for beginners looking to get into PTs via providing a PT-like experience with none of the pressures nor funny rules PTs often have.

Please note however that Milkie ratios often aren't taken as proof during applications on other trackers however this isn't universal, I have seen a handful of trackers accept proof of seeding & ratio from places like Milkie provided the stats are good and you consistently seed.

Milkie generally doesn't have very good retention (old torrents that are seeded for a long time) however it nearly always has the latest shows and films along with more well known titles decently seeded.

Get a invite.

This is the only thread where you are permitted to explicitly ask for a invite and only for Milkie.cc.

Having said that want a invite to Milkie? leave a reply to this thread and I'll reply with a couple of invites at a time.

I saw the post asking if this place was dead, again my fault for neglecting it but I really would like to encourage people to post applications & open sign ups here of their own accord wherever you might see them. The only exception to this is do not post invites from class restricted areas of trackers, you will be warned on the first offence and then banned on the second.

While the subreddit changed its rules to prohibit new trackers I'd genuinely love to still see them here, every tracker started small and decapitating a well known recruitment area for them seemed short sighted to say the least.
