Are any of these services trusted? Would a private tracker lock your account as soon as they figure out you bought your way in?
And can anybody vouch for or against [redacted]?
Edit: pretty sure the site I asked about is a scammer so I removed it so nobody goes there. I had completely misspelled the tracker name when contacting them and they didn’t correct me.
Just as a heads-up: expect some pushback just for asking.
In general buying accounts is frowned upon on all private trackers I’m aware of, including the rule to ban bought accounts on sight.
Several private trackers give out VIP status for people buying seed boxes through them though I guess there are some where you’d get an account in the first place through this.
It all depends on your goals. Personally I wouldn’t trust account sellers. I don’t see a way for them to get accounts without it being quite easily identifyable for the respective pages.
Personally I went the “hard” route but never tried to push into the cabal tier private trackers.
Just remember to not screw your account within the first hours by not taking care of your ratio and the trackers rules.
I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.
It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I’m there they’ll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.
Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven’t shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.
They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don’t have a track record to show that they probably don’t work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.
If you’re a good seeder as you’ve claimed, then working your way up shouldn’t be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.
I have opensignup from Reddit in my RSS feed and recently Torrentleech was open. Maybe have a look if it still is, very good general tracker and easy economy.
Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I’m trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there’s not many
Oh the trackers are against that because they fight all the way against people working against the community and I guess that they just see more leeches coming in this way.
Personally I don’t care about the individual background as long as it’s at least a break even in the community.
Good luck!
