Arrrgh what am I doing wrong? - eviltoast

I’m a very casual sailor, and not very tech savvy, but I’ve torrented and used magnet links in the past with no issues.

I found the file I’m looking for. But things have changed. The site I used doesn’t provide magnets anymore, only Rapidgator links (split into 5 rar files, this is going to take me days) for direct downloads .

Every other link I found sends me to torrent trackers I need to create an account for, such as RuTracker. Which I tried, and with different emails, (brand new emails) yet every time I get rejected. Why? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to wait a couple of hours after creating the account? Are the sites not accepting registrations anymore?

    Casual users dont get on private trackers hehe. Joking, some guys were posting site that tracks when private trackers have open invites, hope someone will link again. Some trackers are almost impossible to join or keep up with their rules, but like torrentleech should be easy enough. Ive never used usenet since Im on private trackers for years, but I bet someone can recommend one here.

    You can look for older redit posts about recommendation for both, but first decide what contet you are aiming for. Some trackers are just for movies, some are focused on music, but there are also general purpose trackers like torrentleech.
