Yeah I see the same thing and I self host a seedbox that has hundreds of seeding torrents. Some torrents do get some seeding action but most never upload anything. Never figured out why but some private trackers give you points towards your up/down ratio the longer you seed so I just roll with that ¯\(ツ)/¯

I gave up on private trackers a while ago. Nothing I've ever been looking for was obscure enough to warrant putting up with their bullshit rules.

Ah, yeah that's fair. I'm on a few but primarily use TorrentLeech which is more relaxed about things. To be honest though, torrents are my fallback anyway and most of my downloads are done via Usenet

Just took a look at Torrentleech. It does seem more relaxed. Last one I was on restricted which versions your client had to be, but didn't keep up with updates. Between that and their solution to new people not being able to gain upload credit being to purchase credits, I got tired of it and bailed.

Only private tracker I use is MyAnonymouse, they've got all the books/audiobooks anyone could ever need, which I have had a really hard time finding on public trackers. Their rules are super lenient as well.

Every time someone mentions MA its been a positive comment (that ive seen at least).

I should find my way into there, I do a lot more audio books these days

Private trackers are the WoW raiding guilds of piracy xD
