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.

Effectively, there is no benefit. But if you are looking for really niche stuff you can't find on public trackers, you might have success on a private one with a focused category of torrents

For me, the principal benefit is content quality. For example, on movies you'll have the best possible release for every resolution, without having to go through every version and finding one that suits you.

only benefit I gained was a forum board to discuss and also that there were lots of seeders even for very obscure stuff
