    I tried out my first private tracker with SceneTime.

    Literally no benefit over a public tracker that I can see.

    • Selection is smaller, all torrents have a max of 30 seeders that I have seen. Most have 2-3.

    • Impossible to get a good ratio without seeding an unwanted popular torrent because niche content will have like 3 downloads per year.

    • Tons of abandoned torrents or torrents with 1 seeder

    • Almost 0 content older than 10 years unless it is very popular

    Maybe I am not integrated enough with the community, and my stupid ISP has extreme asymmetrical speeds that max my upload at 30Mbps, but I mostly still use a public tracker where when I seed, people will actually leech.

    Blu-ray, remux, and encodes vs TGX's 2 gb

    They are available at public trackers too. The only stuff that isn't there in public is the more obscure stuff, but you can try 4chan's torrents board to search for it.

    Seed to leech ratios are better, fast downloads.

    Massively depends on the tracker.
