As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they're doing.

Not selling or trading so hopefully this is still within the rules. If this gets a lot of responses I'll just choose someone at random.

Edit: this had a lot of responses and is now complete. In the interest of fairness I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - congratulations @TopRamenBinLaden

Stupid question but what is TL?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

TorrentLeech, private tracker

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh nice, I’m on IPtorrents already give it to the more needy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't hurt to have multiple. (At least, I hope, since I'm in like five.)

How in the world do y’all manage to get into so many? Granted I’ve not put in a ton of effort, but every time I look into getting into a private tracker, all methods seem closed or dead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I followed /r/opensignups and jumped on a few. I did pay to get into IPT as my first, though. Worth it, imo.

What is a private tracker?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

A tracker (a server/website used to track torrents uploaded to it by members; torrent clients require these tracker servers to know how to download the torrent) that is private (not freely accesible to the general public, typically needing a registered account).

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I don't want it but I'll upvote. Good on you internet stranger

I would love an invite, myself. This is super cool of you to do. Thanks and good luck everyone.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - your reply number. It's yours, my man. Send me a PM with your email address.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wow, I never win anything. This is awesome. Thanks so much for your generosity.

I'm using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

What I used to do was look for high activity free leech, and then let it seed for a few weeks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It doesn't have anything to do with speeds mate, it's easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn't even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you'll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.

I’ve actually been looking for a private tracker.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Would really be interested. I'm really missing RARBG and was too late for open signups...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

TL is awesome. Only occasionally do I need other trackers

Been in TL for a while, great tracker. Don’t need the invite but take my upvote.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

If your die roll chooses me, I promise to use it for good not evil.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That seems generous; I’d like it if you’re willing. If not, hope whoever gets good use out of it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes please!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Just a heads up the Trackers community has an invites post you could participate in

I'd love it if I get lucky. I promise to use it for evil, not good, but the good kind of evil.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'll put my hat in the ring.

I seed, I have a 1.5 ratio on IPT and I didn't buy it. I do use the bonus points but I mean, c'mon, the'yre there!

Been looking to get off IPT though because of the owners sketchyness, so I've been recently looking for a new "home."

Can I have an invite please?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am very interested in this kind sir. If you want I can give you an IPTorrent invite in return?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

count me in! i'll Take the L

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’m in a position to seed quite well since my connection is uncapped, and I’d be happy to share some rarer finds of mine. Unfortunately the power grid where I live is unstable as shit so might not be the best choice. Up to you I suppose, OP.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i just went to TL like 2 years ago and created an accoutn never used, didnt knew is invite only now?

In the middle of a move, I hope to homelab a setup at my new location but currently a newb (essentially). Can't use this yet but upvoting for coolness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would love to get into TL. If anyone has an invite they'd like to pass out, please shoot one my way!

Have fibre internet, 1gb up. Typically seed a 3:1 ratio at a minimum.

Edit: Got an invite. Thanks so much everyone that offered!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I would absolutely be interested in this as well. When What.cd and Empornium shutdown I migrated over to Usenet, but I have really missed the wide availability of torrents since then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right on. I have been on TL since they offered spots at the beginning of the pandemic. Lots of high quality media there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I’ve been adrift since baconBits shut down. Would love an invite.

I’m here for it. If it’s still available :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have a couple I'll never use too. Let me know who you send it to and I'll send a couple more.
