I’m on 4 private trackers. (All invite only, none currently available)
My experience has been pretty good. They’re all relatively niche, and have a surprising ly deep library within their interest.
For me, the only drawback is that some days there can be a small group of seeders (and occasionally none) on certain files. But that can change day-to-day.
But the biggest bonus, I’ve never had to worry about getting a copyright warning on any thing I’ve got from any of them.
I’ve always thought private trackers were more dangerous since you can’t use a VPN. Seems like all it would take is one fed or MPAA (or the like) agent joining and they have a treasure trove of info to investigate.
Invites (at least on the trackers I’m on) are seldom available, and are generally only available to long term members with very high ratios who generally have the most vested interest in keeping the tracker free of narcs.
This is also why private trackers are useless to 99.99% of piraters most of them have been completely sealed up for years. People claim there’s ways to “work your way in” but it’s too much bullshit to deal with with no guarantee. Ones that occasionally open up like TL are way too crowded with no way to maintain your ratio easily
