    Tried to make an acct, they won’t accept my Email address because they say it is “temporary” (it isn’t, it’s actually invite only and non connected to my identity), and when I tried to use another email they got mad about “duplicate accounts” and told me to complain in IRC (which, if I couldn’t create the one, how the fuck did I duplicate it?), and then when I got into the IRC talking about how I don’t want my criminal activity associated with my real identity, like wearing a mask while writing graffiti, and they told me to disable my VPN about it (which is the opposite of privacy.) I’ll stick with what I already have, I don’t trust these fools.

        Private trackers typically require users to seed torrents (upload) for specific times or to hit specific ratios (upload/download). Each tracker will have its own rules governing how much you can download (for example only downloading 1 Gb for each Gb uploaded, in a 1:1 ratio). Some trackers will use a bonus point system to incentivize long seed times or designate specific torrents ‘freeleech’ to not count towards your downloaded quantities. Users that have low ratio or upload may have limits imposed on their accounts, and users with high ratio/upload may get extra benefits. These schemes can be referred to as the tracker’s economy.

        The reason for the economy is to encourage users to seed torrents, to increase download speeds, and to lengthen the retention of older torrents’ availability. Some trackers, typically more exclusive ones and public ones, are ‘ratio less’ and do not track these statistics and limits.

      If you want to join CinemaZ or ExoticaZ, they usually open registration at the same time. PrivateHD doesn’t, so you have to self-invite.
