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
A lot of it depends on what consoles you want to emulate. I’m no expert, but from what I’ve seen just casually looking through retro gaming forums, is that anything up to N64/PS3 is doable with relatively cheap hardware. But if you want to emulate N64 or PS3 and above properly, you’re going to need to step up in specs.
For automation I can recommend the pack “Create: Above and beyond” as it teaches you the best tech mod aviable for modern versions. There is a colony builder mod called MineColonies that you can just add to any recent modpack.
I second Create: Above and Beyond!! I’ve been playing it with a friend, it’s got a fun progression with plenty of processing. Early game is rough— I recommend exploring natural generated structures for iron and stuff before really diving into the automation.
Note that it’s still a fairly “kitchen sink” modpack. The magic mods feel especially slapped on there. It also has computercraft and tinker’s construct, which aren’t really integrated with the main progression. If you’re looking for a consistent style with less complexity to start, it might be worth playing Create 1.20.1 on its own or with a few “vanilla+” mods. Create has a “ponder” feature that can teach you how to use basically every part of the mod.
It’s not a pack with very many mods similar to IndustrialCraft or BuildCraft (which I adored) but I do enjoy how it gates the progression and my girlfriend and I are addicted to running the vaults in Vault Hunters (Third edition specifically) vaulthunters.gg
Might still be a little too intense if Luigi’s Mansion is your starting point, but Bendy and the Ink Machine is basically a mix of Bioshock and Amnesia but for kids. It has a great 1930s cartoon aesthetic.
are there any good scooby doo games out there? i remember playing one on the PS2 as a kid, good balance of “creepy” stuff like zombies and just goofball humor
Dont Starve is pretty dark… i wouldnt call it horror exactly but it has a spooky vibe. Its officially 12+ but I think a horror-loving kid would probably be fine with it.
I'm hoping for a Steam controller 2. I've been using a PS4 and PS5 controller ever since they discontinued the original Steam controller. The gyro on the PlayStation controllers works great, but the touchpad isn't useable (or even reachable) like the Steam controller's trackpads were.
I've been thinking that would be their next product ever since they released an official dock. Seems like the two make sense together.
edit: OK I just read the article and it's probably not a controller. :( It's something with a 5Ghz radio in it, meaning it connects to wifi. A controller with a wireless dongle would only be using 2.4Ghz.
Ik you edited your comment but I also really want a steam controller 2 The first controller is great although running into modern problems like micro usb being trash and rechargeable AA batteries get stuck in the battery compartment. But a new controller with dual thumb sticks would be fantastic! Even if it would make the controller a slight bit more bulky
I’ve got both a DualSense and a Steam Controller – they’re useful for different things. AAA titles with console ports are great with the DualSense (e.g. I’m also using it for Starfield). But the Steam Controller is the one you want for strategy games or anything that doesn’t support controllers at all.
It’s also surprisingly good for flight simming, so long as you can spend the time with customizing the scheme.
That's what I've been doing as well, only using the Steam Controller for strategy games. That means I don't use it much these days (which is too bad, since it's a great controller), but I since it can't be replaced now I figure I'll only use it for the games it really needs.
Here’s a whole bunch of modpack on Curseforge. There’s some more on FeedTheBeast, Modrinth and ATLauncher (I think). The scene is alive and well, although many of the old mods (like buildcraft and industrial craft) have long been replaced by newer mods.
Your best bet on jumping back in is a quest-based pack on a fairly recent version of the game. The last one I played was FTBSkies, which was pretty cool and included questlines for all major mods to guide you.
It’s on the tip of my tongue; there was a whole series of ghost pirate themed “hidden object” point and click puzzle games. I’ll update the post when it comes back.
