Hello, I’m a recent cross-seed convert and I must say that it’s a great program. However, it occurs to me that one piece of content can generate as many torrent files as trackers you’re in of that type of content. So how many torrent files do you all have in your clients? Is there an upper limit to this? Obviously the vast majority of them sit idle. But if you’re playing the tracker game and you have 1000 MAM torrents, 3000 RED torrents, you cross seed 1000 to OPS, and for every one of your dozens of TV shows and hundreds of movies you try and cross seed to almost a dozen trackers, you can easily end up pushing 10,000+ torrent files. And that’s with a reasonable amount of storage space, some people have absurd 100 TB+ home servers that can fit thousands of movies and stuff. So what’s your experience with this?

Hello team,
As you already know by now, I make this list every 1st day of the month.

However, if my posts have a link in them, they go into the mod queue,
but because this sub is unmoderated, they never get approved.

What I did instead is, I edited the pinned post from May with up-to-date September events,
You have it pinned at the top of the sub, and I will post the link in the first comment too.

Enjoy and good luck getting those bonus points!

Some dude keeps uploading viruses. The last 49 uploads in the past week are from him. Reached out on IRC and raised a ticket but haven't heard back from anyone. Someone said he did the same on SC but I can't verify.

dkore is the sole reason im still on hawke after the UI changes i wonder if its from another tracker so i'd work my way up there.

Hi all - hope you can help.

I recently moved from seed-cross (wasn't working for a while) however the behaviour worked fine for my needs.

I am using transmission with the "classic" folder structure:

* Data/Torrents, and within
*movies-torrents
*TV-torrents

Downloaded data is then grabbed by the *arrs and placed in a "clean" named folder:

*Data/Media, and within
*PlexMovies
*PlexTV

So far, so good.

The download folders on Transmission have the files downloaded depending on the *type* of media they are, not from the *tracker*. I have 4 trackers configured, some of them do TV, some of them do Movies, some do both.

The previous behaviour from seed-cross was to match the torrent already existing, and add it to the client, pointing it to the same file, but as a separate .torrent file on the client. I verified that the file didn't take double the space, so I was happy with that. When tidying up transmission, I would simply delete either the seeding torrent deleted from the tracker (no file, if other trackers were still seeding it), or delete the torrent AND the file if it was nuked from every tracker or if it was the "last" copy present. I would then have to delete/upgrade the monitored file from the *arr.

Having installed cross-seed, it wants to download all the files to a separate folder per tracker, which means I could have

Tracker 1, with movies and TV
Tracker 2, with movies and TV (some the same, some not). 
Folder where things added by the *arrs download things, but not the downloads from cross-seed as they'll go to their own tracker folder. 

I don't know if the *arrs will be able to figure this out at this point, but it looks like I'll end up with potentially 3+ separate locations where the files (and hardlinked files) will reside.

I have looked at the linkDirs option on the config

linkDirs: ["/data/torrents/complete/"],

The link type:

linkType: "hardlink",

and the flatlinking:

flatLinking: false,

But I'm not sure what configuration combination should be used to match what I am used to from seed-cross, or whether I should rejig my download folder structure.

Any advice will be appreciated!

I have 4TB of music and I want to share with people. What is the easiest way to start seeding library for others to download to put it into a lidarr or something similar? I know it’s not much but I want to start to contribute to the community.

I've reached Extreme User status on TL and have been seeding for 2 years straight.

UPLOADED:27.33 TB

DOWNLOADED: 4.22 TB

RATIO:6.474

INVITES: 4

Question is where should i go from here? TVV would be great but it's high tier and i doubt i'd get in with these stats alone. BTN/RED is obviously out of the question.

FL, MAM?

I'm UK based and English speaking. Movies and TV shows are my thing. Obscure hard to find TV shows are the main thing I'm looking for.

I have been trying to get into RED for months now. But my isp assignes a new public IP every 24 hours so I get disconnected from the queue. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you solve it? Any other ways?
The goal is to get into more German Trackers. I am already in MAM and a few other english Trackers like Seedcore TL etc.
Any tips or experiences?

I have started my journey in private trackers recently and I have read that you have to remain active to remain in the tracker but what sort of inactivity policies are usually standard? So long as you seed you are considered 'active'? Or do you have to visit the site regularly etc?

Let me preface by saying that, no I do not have a seedbox, I live in the US, and I use a VPN, so this was very surprising to me.

I've been on HD-T for many months and I enjoy it a lot, it's one of my main trackers. The economy is difficult though, as I'm sure many people will agree, and I've accumulated ~50 GB upload in the past few months, not including bonus points.

Today, I decided to download a spiderman movie and I didn't want to use torrents because I wanted to watch it ASAP with my friends. So I hopped on usenet, downloaded, one of the 4K IMAX linux isos, (~70 GB in size) and everything was great.

But tonight ~4 hours later, I opened qui and SOMEHOW I uploaded 200 GB??? I was so confused at first because this was unprecdented, ESPECIALLY for HD-T.

Anyways, I did some back-tracking and checked logs and realized that somehow, that movie I got from usenet was cross-seeded to HD-T (which wasn't even supposed to happen lol, I don't like cross-seeding usenet because I usually delete it quickly), and IT WAS STILL UPLOADING AT MY FULL INTERNET SPEED. WITH THE VPN??? like WHAT?? (this was all from one single torrent)

So...yeah, now I have access to the invite forums, I guess. But my question is, why did this happen? Could it be that the specific torrent was dead, and I just brought it back? That's all I can think of. If anyone could provide insight I would be very happy.

If you are curious and would like more information just ask, I can give you the link of HD-T for the exact torrent I'm speaking about.

I sent an invite request to a recruiter on an invite forum about 4 weeks ago. I've tried to get support on their (CRT) IRC twice, but no luck.

Is the tracker really active or is it one of those instances where "the lights are on but nobody's home", like they're getting ready to pack it up?

Hi!

I was wondering if there are any trackers (not necessarily “Korean” in a strict sense) where I could specifically find Korean traditional/classical music, rather than popular music.

Can also be a anime only one

Hi everyone,

Is Superbits currently down or experiencing any issues? I’m unable to access the site at the moment and wanted to check if others are experiencing the same problem.

Any information about the current status would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ANT(Anthelion) has sitewide freeleech for the next 3 days till 2026-08-30 05:43:10

So I go to login to empornium today to find out my account has been disabled. I spend some time in the IRC help chat asking about this and all I am told is that I tried to log in with a different account (I didn't, nor had any need to, not with my buffer and good standing) and I am told they don't want to bother discussing it just to hear "I didn't do it." Except I *didn't* and seem to have no way to prove that. An impossibility, really, to show absence of something.

Help, anyone? I have been in private trackers for decades now and have never had an issue like this.

So for the past month I've been addicted to trackermaxxing (getting the best optimal speeds without resorting to a seedbox) and I think I've finally done it.

There are several parts to this and I'm sure there is a massive rabbit-hole for optimizing speeds, but I've made two changes in the past month that have over 50x my upload (no I am not joking). I used to get ~1GB of weekly upload and now I (usually) get over 10GB upload per day. This might seem small to you but do note that I can't afford storage right now so my seedsize is limited to 500 GB. I exclusively use private trackers.

Anyways, these two/three things massively improved my speeds:

(the first one only matters if you live in certain countries like the US/Germany)

1. VPN. The three most popular VPN's with port forwarding are PIA, ProtonVPN, and AirVPN. I used to use AirVPN because it offered lots of features and static port forwarding which is convenient. However AirVPN tends to be slow for me, even on their 10gbit servers. I could never get more than 375mbps upload on a speedtest in my qbittorrent container. This is with a 1gbit download/upload fiber line, using ookla speedtest-cli.

About a month ago I made the switch to ProtonVPN and my download and upload speeds (from (ookla speedtest-cli) are consistently 875 mbps download AND upload. It's nearly as fast as my home connection, and changing to proton has been the largest factor in terms of raw upload. Make sure to use wireguard and enable their vpn accelerator and port forwarding. For ease of use you should probably use gluetun so you can set up dynamic port forwarding properly. I personally have everything setup in docker containers. Gluetun can use the native wireguard stack in linux which makes it negligable to running natively. Oh and thats another thing, if you want to optimize speeds you should be running linux. Not windows.

I feel bad for shilling proton but trust me I wouldn't be saying this if it didn't have a massive improvement on my upload.

Then there is PIA. I personally like it for the dedicated IP option, but setting up wireguard is an absolute pain, and it continues to be a pain using it (configs expire after not used for 12 hours and must a re-generated). I use gluetun with a custom provider to get PIA working with wireguard. Speeds are better than AirVPN (worse than proton) in my testing but it's honestly so annoying to work with I gave up on it recently.

1. Cross-seed. I'm sure this has been talked about before but this really helped me out. I used to use qui for cross-seeding, but when I tried the actual cross-seed application I found it to find significantly more cross-seeds than qui. Now I just use qui for stats and its great. You can even setup autobrr with cross-seed, so that new releases are cross-seeded immediately if found.

2. Torrent client settings - so I was about to show my advanced settings that I tweaked in qbittorrent to optimize speeds but then I realized I did this fairly recently so I can't confidently say my speeds actually improved yet. I will have to wait and see. Also, everyone has different setups and torrent clients, so your milage will vary. If you do want to optimize this, you should consult the guides/wikis of the private trackers you are in or talk to the guys on irc, they are very smart. I wouldn't recommend using AI for this because it tends to hallucinate on these niche things.

That's about it. I'm in a weird place where I still have active plans for ProtonVPN, PIA, and AirVPN so if any of you want to see speed test data for all three I can do share that. If you decide to test on your own and switch vpn providers constantly please temporarily disable your torrents to not overload trackers. I learned that the hard way.

wow reading this over and did not realize how long this post is lmao. Unfortunately I am too tired to make a tldr. I am going to go to b
