I'll only use private trackers if I can't find what I'm looking for on a public tracker. Private tracker rules can get pretty onerous and I prefer to just avoid the whole scene if possible.

If I'm honest, this opinion surprises me. I didn't expect to prefer public trackers. I always thought that private trackers were so cool and exclusive. I don't think that way anymore.

My private tracker days are behind me after they shut down OiNK, and then later what.cd. Though I can't say I don't miss it sometimes. At its peak, What was an amazing place.

Private, I like sharing in a community. Particularly like the Nordic one I'm in, they make sure everything has nice subs. There's also a few quirky torrents on there, like a collection of very old and niche Swedish PC games, many of which I remember fondly from when I was young.

What's the proportions of Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish content on there? I've been trying to get into some more private trackers apart from MAM and TL

I couldn't tell you really since I'm only looking for one of them. But I think it's predominantly Swedish, or maybe it's just bias. 😄

Private. Speeds are much better and your stuff lasts longer. I tried several times to have public options for my Coliseum Video uploads and all have failed in some way. At least with private trackers, I know that they’ll stay seeded for a long long time.
