Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.
they are properly moderated so no fake torrents or malware (and anyone trying to upload those is immediately banned)
many have rules about formats, nfo files - another guarantee that your file is what it says it is
duplicates are not usually allowed - eg if an album already exists in FLAC format, you can’t upload another one
ratio requirements mean people almost always seed, and many use seed boxes which means speed is much faster. Movies download to my seed box in a couple of seconds typically.
