I like private trackers for music because what I’m looking for is niche and I’m a lossless whore. I like private trackers for movies/TV because I don’t have to use a VPN and I can find remuxes or tiny X265 rips to fill my Plex server with. I can’t remember the last time I used a public tracker.
Why don’t you have to use a VPN on a private tracker?
Unlike public torrents, private ones require a key to connect and see other peers on, that stops the majority of copyright trolls from being able to know who downloads them
Yeah, majority ain't safe enough. I used MAM when I was living in a country where the copyright assholes couldn't do anything. But these days I won't risk it.
Because they often won't let you.
I advise to use one regardless, BUT read the rules! For real, read them!
Personally I use a seedbox. Miles better than having to fiddle around with my home setup.
