Private trackers
Contents
What is a private tracker?
Private trackers provide the same functionality as public trackers, but are generally invite-only. The overall concept is to promote extensive file retention among users with shared interests. If you feel that your content needs are filled on public trackers, private ones may not be worth your time.
How secure are private trackers?
This depends entirely on the precautions of the operator.
Invitations
Registration control is usually maintained by an invitation system. Trusted and contributing members can grant new users permission to register. Classification of a trusted and contributing member varies by sites, leaving some trackers more difficult to join than others.
Some trackers on the other hand maintain an interview system.
General Tips
It's recommended to use different emails, usernames, and passwords on each site you join. Refrain from posting on forums, a good percentage of tracker staff are very unqualified and go out of there way to find ban-worthy offenses.
