Don't miss out on this one! Despite the name, there are tons of remuxes and web dl on there as well

u/Chip_Boundary 10d ago

Unfortunately you need two other private trackers. So, unless you have those, you're wasting your time. It says in the application page that if you don't have two you need to provide a really good reason, but it doesn't let you continue without providing proof of a second tracker.

So unless you're part of two other private trackers, don't bother to try.

6

u/RoronoaZoro95 10d ago

Your account also needs to be atleast 3 months old on the 2 other trackers. This is for experienced folks only unfortunately

u/fps21nl 10d ago

They opened applications for a short window and I joined on Aug 10th, back then my oldest PT account was still not even 1 month old. I applied w/ that evidence anyways (decent seedtime, ratio, 0 HnRs from a couple of PTs) and explained myself honestly, that I had familiarity with public trackers but not with PTs yet, had been doing my homework and studying do's/don'ts, planned on contributing and wouldn't mind being held accountable even more severely etc, they kindly let me in.

I'd suggest applying anyways and trying to convince you deserve a chance, just be mindful you might not get in this time.

2

u/RoronoaZoro95 9d ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try applying if thats the case.

2

u/Chip_Boundary 10d ago

I've been doing it for decades. Only decided to move to private trackers recently. Unfortunately, outside of open applications they require an offer from other people. Whom I don't interact with usually, and would prefer greatly not to change. Oh well.

1

u/Silent_Dragonfruit93 10d ago

Depending on what tracker you're in, if you share enough, you get access to the invite forums and then getting access to a second tracker is not an issue.

u/PurplePolkaDotBikini 10d ago

Great tracker. Edge is a very chill owner unlike some others out there. Very generous BP system. Lots of good encoders.

1

u/ItseKeisari 8d ago edited 8d ago

I got in but not sure what’s so special about the BON system. Mind elaborating a little?

EDIT: Turns out im dumb and could not calculate when i made this comment. I now calculated the numbers correctly and indeed seems quite generous.

1

u/Middle_Layer_4860 9d ago

I provide tracker profile proof but it said insufficient. Why? Does seed ratio matters?

2

u/PurplePolkaDotBikini 9d ago

With these unit3d applications it is best to do all the typing in notepad then refresh the application page & copy & paste the info as quickly as possible. The captchar tends to time out otherwise. Probably your proofs disappeared due to this. It has happened to me before.

1

u/Middle_Layer_4860 9d ago

I see. Than u for this info

Edit: can i use same email if application rejected due to too much delay

14

u/DontKnowHowToEnglish 10d ago

I like this one, plenty of hardcore encoders

13

u/Orbitalsp3 10d ago

I really like OE because I like smaller encodes (micro or transparent), since I don't have unlimited HD space and they have those too. As opposed to say, ULCX in which everything is like 20gb minimum.

1

u/Previous-Foot-9782 9d ago

1080p remux.... 22gb x265 DV/HDR UHD 1080p....... 20gb

Like fuck! If I wanted 4k I'd download 4k! 

1

u/random_999 3d ago

Officially, no 1080p disc comes with DV/HDR which in turn means no standard 1080p remux comes with them either. Any similar size to remux/larger size 1080p encode with DV/HDR is downscaled version from 4k hence the large size.

12

u/roychassi 10d ago

I keep looking at trying to join a private tracker. But Everytime I do I have to provide proof of two other ones I'm part of. How can I join one if I have to be part of one first Everytime

u/G1ForceX 10d ago

torrentleech and mam join them

u/AdultGronk 10d ago

u/roychassi 10d ago

That's pretty useful thanks for the link 😊

6

u/Odd_Bunch_8866 10d ago

Not always, but sometimes they still review apps without proofs. The more important detail to keep track of is if the application says lifetime fail bans or not. If it is not lifetime fail ban then if you don't get in, that's fine. Try again when you have proofs then. Just put in why you want to join and include your capability to seed. If you just want content and don't have a dedication to give back then the private tracker area is not for you.

4

u/roychassi 10d ago

Yeah ok, I have no problem giving back, the system didn't really work otherwise lol

u/matt-er-of-fact 10d ago

MAM, RED, patience waiting for the rare real open signup, making nerd friends IRL.

You’re going to have access to these trackers for years. Put in the effort for MAM or RED, or Just watch this sub and be patient for a few months.

10

u/Creative_Bookkeeper9 10d ago

The effort for RED is too much, hell no to waiting weeks to try and be interviewed. MAM is wonderful though, 10/10 would recommend.

2

u/foolzstop 9d ago

The red interview keeps disconnecting when I get close in the queue 😭 I was in for 18 hours yesterday into today and it disconnected like 5 people at once. So sad.

1

u/matt-er-of-fact 8d ago

Just do MAM and Seedpool (they just opened).

3

u/ThisIsSoIrrelevant 9d ago

SeedPool is currently doing an Open Signup. Very good tracker, well worth joining.

1

u/matt-er-of-fact 8d ago

Seedpool just opened. Between that and MAM you can have two proof. All it takes is a little patience.

1

u/vkapadia 10d ago

The part that always gets me is ratio requirements. I have no issue keeping the torrent running after I download. But by the time I download it, everyone else that wants it already has it. So there is no one still downloading for me to seed to.

3

u/matt-er-of-fact 10d ago

If you can get on a few trackers with freeleech you can snag a majority of files without it counting against you. If you let those seed forever you’ll eventually build a solid ratio with no effort. If you run into a little trouble, you spend some bonus points to catch up. You can get another free ratio bump with automatic cross-seed.

3

u/keybers 9d ago

Everyone understands that. The math of torrents is such that if one person is >1 ratio on a torrent (bc they have a faster connection), another one will necessarily have <1.

Which is why Edge said somewhere at some point that seeding duration trumps real ratio.

There is a bonus points system which is very generous. OE runs regular lotteries where you can win a shitton of BP, and there are also events running for several days where you "open a surprise box" and get a shitton of BP.

2

u/Emre_West 10d ago

Use autobrr to get torrents right when they are released to download them immediately and seed to others at the same time. It supports many trackers and you can set it up to get only Freeleech torrents for example.

2

u/DiMarcoTheGawd 10d ago

Sort by number of leechers and download a couple free leach ones people seem to want. Or grab a popular new release that’s free leach (a lot of torrents make remux or large files auto free leach) and leave it seeding for longer. I’ve had no problem keeping a ratio that way.

1

u/prodigiouspianist 10d ago edited 10d ago

Right now you can go join a very popular private tracker for $10USD by visiting their site and clicking join. A bunch of trackers will give you inv1te in exchange for seedbox purchase. The advantage of this approach is you can buffer the account off the bat. So yeah, its easy just by doing the rounds and spending a small amount if you are in a position to.

If not you could register free on semi-private trackers like EZTV and rutracker (?) and build ratio.

1

u/rmprakash 10d ago

can you dm site to signup ?

Can you dm the site to signup too? Thanks in advance.

1

u/Caedendi 9d ago

There are several trackers literally open right now for registration (not application). You just have to try a little harder with looking. And you can always apply anyway with a good story and description of your setup.

12

u/xamott 9d ago

Does check back later mean like in one hour? Or is that just a fuck off, try again in a year?

This thing is closed after 13 hours?? That was overnight here in the US, we were all sleeping.

10

u/ElijahBrown69 10d ago

Question guys I'm beginner to private trackers is this good starting point?

7

u/LowResChaos 10d ago

Yes but since you don't have history with other private trackers you'll be unlikely to get accepted. Try some of the other trackers that provide open sign ups, build good ration over ~6 months and then try applying

1

u/Joopz34 10d ago

Any pointers on which other private trackers I can start with?

2

u/fps21nl 9d ago

The suggestion is to look out for PTs you are genuinely interested in. That being said, MAM is always a great option, very beginner friendly, kind community, good content and you can learn about interview system/economy. There's a lot of helpful beginner content on r/trackers if you haven't checked that out already.

2

u/Joopz34 9d ago

Thanks!

9

u/reinaldobr 10d ago

Honest question: if there are over 700000 seeders and less than 500 lechers, how does one makes the ratio quota? (I'm new to this)

13

u/Holiday-Match6250 10d ago

you'll never need to worry about ratio thanks to the BP economy there. (lots of events and other ways to earn/win bon)

15

u/Misarvin 10d ago

It has an AMAZING point system. This one is absolutely amazing.

2

u/reinaldobr 10d ago

Yeah, but it needs proof of other trackers, right? I do not think I will be able to join it (started to torrent literally this week), so, give me this one tip: can I build a reputation on public trackers so that when nice ones like this show up, I have a shot?

11

u/Misarvin 10d ago

No, reputation on public trackers is too easy to fake. Private trackers do not care about your upload among public trackers.

To start on private trackers, wait until they are actual open sign ups (not open applications). Then, join those and start building your ratio.

Then, when something like this appears, you'll be able to get in.

Unfortunately, getting into private trackers is really just a waiting game. That said, I have been doing it for less than 3 months and already have swapped to exclusively private trackers. So, it is very doable.

3

u/reinaldobr 10d ago

Só basically, not worth trying right now, right?

4

u/Misarvin 10d ago

Yeah. Sorry man.

If you like books, go try out for MaM. They have a really easy application. They are goated and a good path to other trackers.

4

u/matt-er-of-fact 10d ago

Join MaM now, so in three months when the next one opens, you’ll at least have one proof. This weeds out people with no patience.

2

u/Misarvin 9d ago

Dude. Go get seedpool. They are open sign up rn. Great place to start.

3

u/reinaldobr 9d ago

Thanks! Just did it and got in! Will start seeding there

3

u/Misarvin 8d ago

Nice. Now, if you've already been using public torrents, set up qui. Use the built-in cross seeding feature to see if any of your public torrents can cross seed to your private tracker.

It does not work to go from private trackers to public.

1

u/reinaldobr 8d ago

Can you elaborate on it? I don't think I understood it sorry by the way

3

u/Misarvin 8d ago

Absolutely, qui is a program that works with qBittorrent. It looks nicer and allows you to set up automations and "cross seeding"

Cross seeding is using one file to seed multiple trackers. So, say you download a movie from tacker 1. But, that movie is also available on tracker 2. Qui would start seeding it to tracker 2 without you needing to download it a second time.

It is a great way to build free ratio on private trackers. I have a single file seeding on like 4 trackers. However, you cannot cross seed TO public trackers. They work weird.

Any further questions, comments, concerns, or cries of outrage?

u/Jax2Pacific 10d ago

I mean you leach for like what 10mins and then seed that file for weeks, the numbers will always be starkly different.

u/Splitsurround 10d ago

was I supposed to get an email after submitting my application? It said something like that, but I've gotten nothing

3

u/PlantDaddy530 10d ago

I got to the page that said “Success: Your Application Has Been Submitted. You will receive a email soon!” But it’s been a few hours and no email. Will report back tomorrow

2

u/kooltilldend 10d ago

Neither did I. There was also a message stating if you didn't get an email then you need to resubmit the application so now I dunno if I need to or not

Also, was there a CAPTCHA code on the application? Bottom of the page said captcha error so I wonder if adguard caused an issue there or not. . . 

2

u/PurplePolkaDotBikini 10d ago

With these unit3d applications it is best to do all the typing in notepad then refresh the application page & copy & paste the info as quickly as possible. The captchar tends to time out otherwise.

I like having multiple private trackers. Redundancy.

10

u/destiper 10d ago

Not unless you’re really into decent x265 and/or AV1 encodes, everything else can be found in SP/TL etc.

I do prefer the OE internals to a lot of the stuff on other trackers though

5

u/Bakerboo43 10d ago

Oddly enough, sometimes I find a better file on OE than I do on seedpool.

4

u/fatherofraptors 10d ago

It's nice for 1080p x265 stuff! Compliments SP or TL really well.

Hell, between those 3 I can find literally everything I watch and freeleech it too.

6

u/nona01 10d ago

Great place that does HEVC/AV1 1080p releases!

4

u/data_butcher 10d ago

the av1 stuff in particular could stand to have better quality. rarely do I see people adding encode settings.

1

u/Previous-Foot-9782 9d ago

Encode settings is actually a more recent thing for av1.

Most of their recent av1 releases gave it in the description atleast. 

1

u/data_butcher 9d ago

I don't think av1 encoding software adds encode settings still, but you could always add the tags yourself. One thing that bothers me also is that almost no one encoding in hevc and av1 does comparisons.

1

u/Previous-Foot-9782 9d ago

LastBreeze, one of their internals maintains an av1 encoding kit including scripts, that basically does that. It's on github. 

You put in the settings, it encodes, adds the settings.

And ya I wish more did it. I know of one guy on OE that does personal releases for 265/av1, and always does comps.

OnlyEncodes is a great community with a good audience. Their internal groups are fast and diverse. The BON system is user-friendly. They have a lot of small-sized content for Plex. I highly recommend joining.

Can you apply via VPN?

3

u/Previous-Foot-9782 9d ago

Its extremely easy uploading here too. There are no slot or trump rules. Though uploading web-dls from different groups that are essentially the same thing is pointless.

Their internals all seem to focus on different points, having 1 movie with like 3 or 4 internals.

Also, Edge released the entire Power Rangers series upscaled.

Good job making people afraid to use English :)

Just like my teachers at school: no one made me as shy and afraid to use English as they were.

Using language is about communication and delivering/receiving information, not about being 100% correct all the time.

1

u/jinniu 8d ago edited 8d ago

Oh no, someone corrected me, I guess I will be afraid now! You are right about communication, education is about growing too. That is much easier when you can take a correction and improve yourself without thinking it's a personal attack. Unless your teachers were purposely being dicks when pointing out your mistakes, you should take the correction as an opportunity to improve. So many teachers don't teach a growth mindset, and some cultures' teachers cultivate a fixed mindset by pointing out mistakes just to shame students for not studying harder or just not performing to the institutions expections. It's a shame really. Back to my comment, it's still funny to me, and if you're and adult, take the chuckle less seriously. Grow some thicker skin, and maybe fix the mistake if you want. Or whine like a child, you do you I guess.
