I remember back in the windows 7 days I had discovered Sandboxie that helped me a great deal. At the time my concern was the browser as javascript was just picking up and the engines to run it were all focusing on performance only. I don’t remember having to compile it manually, but that might actually be the safest way to ensure you don’t get a compromised installer.
When I started to get into private trackers I did the following, which worked out really well in my case:
Basic research (back then mostly via re*dit) on what the most popular trackers are and select the ones I want to join
Be prepared that being part of private trackers also means that one has to contribute back to the community by seeding
Hang out in their irc or discord channels and either wait for open invites or just be nice to other people and get invites from them (just trying to be part of the community)
be patient, it took a few days to get into the first one and after a month or two I was already in all of the trackers I wanted to be in
It was actually not much effort, I had to go through only one interview which was easy to prepare for and not very challenging. All in all it was definitely worth it and I’m glad I brought up that little bit of patience
Get a 2tb HDD and download all the freeleech torrents and then seed forever. Most private trackers have a bonus system which you get for long-term seeding. Eventually you use bonus points for upload.
Work your way up on the rankings until you are high enough to get into the invite forums. Repeat the process until you get into all the top tier trackers (who never have open signups)
You cannot tell a false positive from a real positive. It’s a gamble. You need to check for every AV what’s the results and do your own risk assessment. Do I really need this software given that XX Antivirus consider it to be a virus? New threats will have a low number of AV that will detect it.
Baldur’s Gate has some of the best gaming moments in my recebt memory, but those are more character and story moments. On the other Hand, FFXVI has the most epic boss fights I’ve ever played, basically Kaiju beating the shit out of each others.
I really like NMS, they’re very different games. NMS gets very sandboxy and end game ends up farming the best stuff and upgrading it all. The process is pretty fun tho and that’s the main gameplay loop.
Got Gotham Knights on sale. After all the patches, it seems to be pretty stable and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s certainly not amazing, but for $15aud it’s pretty good. Also trying out SYNCED and I like the aesthetic so far, but gameplay/controls are a bit mushy. It also runs like a dog with pretty inconsistent FPS.
Don’t bother. Private trackers suck. You have to maintain a certain ratio, which is much harder to do than you think when every single popular file has no leechers cause everyone’s doing the same thing. So more often than not you have to download a bunch of random BS that no one wants and seed it forever just to build up a high enough ratio to finally download what you actually want.
If you’re going to pay for torrents, save yourself the hassle and just sign up for Real-Debrid instead. You get direct downloads at up to 1Gbps, so it’s just as fast as a private tracker, and there’s no worrying about seeding since all the most popular torrents in the world are stored directly on their servers. (You can also easily add torrents that aren’t already on Debrid, in which case it behaves like a seedbox.) ~$17.50 for 6 months.
Just start with freeleech torrents until you build your ratio. On my tracker, any torrent over 10gb does not count towards your download so everything uploaded from it is a bonus. For example, if you’ downloaded starfield today, by the end of the week you would probably have a decent amount of upload credit (its 90gb and people leeching constantly).
Pair this with a few of the most popular TV seasons and you’re set. Just leave those torrents seeding forever and you have little to worry about. If any slow down, replace them with something fresh. After a couple weeks you will probably be at the point where you never need to consider your upload/download ratio again.!
Add your torrent client to windows startup so you have to remember to stop seeding, not to start seeding.
Buy a cheap 2TB HDD and seed forever.
Download things when you need them not just because you can Be smart, not greedy. Share back. It’s really not that hard you just need self control.
Its also important to set up your torrent client properly, any good tracker will have a guide for this. Your upload won’t count if it’s not set up correctly, this is where a lot of people fall.
But be aware that most of these sites will ban you if you don’t keep your ratio, but most will let you “donate” to get back in.
I’m not an expert but i’m happy to answer any questions.
Real debrid and usenet seems awesome, but I never tried that just because private trackers are working perfectly fine for so many years. Building ratio is not easy on every tracker, but some of them are a joke. Lot of them reward you with points if your torrents are just active and then you can buy upload with points. OP didnt ask for movies or tv shows source, but most likely its their interest. Private trackers can provide more than just a video content, but yeah if you dont want to keep your PC online to keep seeding its probably not best option. Id rather pay for VPN and donate to trackers that share loot for free tbh, but its not for everyone
how about the absolute top private trackers like BeyondHD or PTP are they so lenient or even remotely possible to join? because those are the only ones worth joining IMO the lower tier private ones are stupid since i can grab everything they have from elsewhere
PTP is having some troubles right now, but I believe you can join almost anything with good reputation. Even lower tier trackers are better than public trackers IMO, people still care more and feels better to contribute, its probably bit more safe as well
be more specific: how difficult is it to join the top trackers that i mentioned? because ive seen plenty of people say those top ones are completely sealed up for years and i havent been able to dispute them. lower tier private trackers are pretty worthless to me
With a seedbox plus freeleech torrents and bonus points you generally don’t even need to worry about ratio and all of that. Plus, it feels good to give back to the community.
Honestly, I agree with this completely. I got into private trackers earlier this year and after a couple months just quit. On public torrents I have a seed ratio over 5.0, since I have gigabit upload and just like giving back, but private trackers just ended up being a pain.
Having to manage ratios was a pain. Having to build your ratio with freeleech was a pain. I never had a single torrent get a positive ratio. To top it off, I didn’t even find the selection to be much better than public trackers.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I tried 3-4 and then just gave up. Too many rules and not enough reason to use it.
the top ones truly are super great but theyre really impossible to get into. managing ratios is also stupid. for me DDL and usenet covers everything private trackers have
I don’t have a minimum, and my maximum is negotiable. I’ve played <5 hour games that felt too long, and >50 hour games that felt too short.
I generally shoot for 20-30 hours, but that’s because it seems like a sweet spot where most games with tons of filler are longer. I actually have a category for short games, because sometimes the 2-3 hour experience is what I’m looking for.
Those were all around 5 hours or less, in rough order from shorter to longer (just pulled up my Steam games by playtime). I have a few more on my list that I haven’t played yet but are likely about that length if you want more. :)
Thanks for the list. I was recently playing Limbo because it’s on the PS Vita and I know Doki Doki Literature Club is as well so maybe I’ll play that next. I also heard good things about Oxenfree before so maybe I’ll pick that up at some point.
This is what you probably already know but honestly, the best way is to know someone with an invite and if you don’t know someone irl, try to get involved in an online community.
Another way is to watch for open sign ups. Some private trackers have applications, like MyAnonamouse. Once you’re in, check out the forums for invite requirements to other private trackers. You often need to climb a few ranks to gain access to the invite sections of the forum.
Open sign-ups is the way. Trackers with open sign-ups will usually be a bit more lenient on ratio and rules, in my experience, so they’re also a good place to learn how private trackers work without getting kicked out for a silly mistake.
