Private Torrent Trackers: Navigating the Rules for Seamless Downloading

In a digital landscape dominated by streaming giants like Netflix, the resurgence of piracy might seem surprising. Yet, as subscription costs rise and ad-supported plans become more prevalent, many users are turning back to piracy. At the forefront of this resurgence are private trackers, exclusive torrent websites accessible only by invitation. However, gaining access is just the first step; once inside, users must adhere to a strict set of rules to avoid being kicked out.

Understanding Private Torrent Trackers

Public torrent trackers are open to everyone, allowing users to search and download files while connecting to a wide network of peers. In contrast, private trackers are closed servers with restricted access, ensuring that files are shared exclusively among members. These private trackers offer high-quality content ahead of public releases, with content moderation to guarantee authenticity and safety from viruses.

Some servers, when we have a ratio below 1, block our downloads so that we try to recover by uploading. But it doesn’t apply to everyone.

Do not do Hit&Run. When we download a file, it cannot be deleted immediately from our download client, as this would generate a Hit&Run. And, at three, we would be automatically banned. To guarantee traffic and speed, users are required to have files shared for a minimum of days. On some servers, this minimum is 3 days (72 hours), which do not have to be consecutive, but must be in a time range of, for example, a couple of weeks. But in others, the minimum upload time for a torrent can be up to 14 days, as is the case with IPtorrents.

Log in every so often. Even if we do not download anything, we must indicate to the system that we are active. If we go more than a certain number of days (for example, 30) without logging in, the account will become inactive. And, if we continue without entering, completely deleted.

Other rules you must comply with

In addition to the above, these types of servers also have other rules that we have to comply with in order to continue downloading their files. Some of the most used are:

• Never use the tracker for profit.
• Thank the uploaders for the downloads. Some websites, such as HD-Olympus they block downloads to those who have a very low thank you ratio.
• Using multi-account is prohibited. If two accounts with the same IP are detected, both will be banned.
• Never enter through VPN to mask the IP. If the use of an IP is detected, it is grounds for immediate banning.
• The use of seedboxes, or VPS, must be notified to the tracker.
• Some trackers, such as PointTorrent have a maximum number of copies uploaded, so we must limit uploads to a certain number of copies of the same file.

Then, each torrent server may have its own specific rules, so we must read them carefully before starting to download. And, of course, respect and collaboration are always basic pillars of this type of servers.
