Private Tracker Flowchart

What is a private tracker?

Private trackers provide the same functionality as public trackers, but are generally invite-only. The overall concept is to filter out users who are not willing to seed or give back. If your content needs are filled on public trackers, private ones may not be worth your time.

How secure is a private tracker?

This depends entirely on the practices of whoever is running it and popularity. Niche trackers may go under the radar while larger trackers are often targeted by anti-piracy groups and attackers. This explains why many trackers have static user limits.

Tracker Drama

Heard your favorite tracker's admins are a bunch of invite-sellers? Site linked to notorious webmasters? Content = Content. Don't bother getting caught up with the latest 123c news. However if you do happen to use a conspicuous tracker, never use the same password or email you'd use on another reputable tracker. There have been cases of admins storing passwords in plaintext and using them to bruteforce into other sites.

General Threads

If you browse /g/ or /tech/ regularly you've probably come across supposed General Private Tracker Threads. Here you'll find the same cancer exhibited as in any other general. It's reccomended to refrain from these and jump right into the private tracker world yourself. Do not post your email in hopes of an invite as site moderators curiously browse these.
