    Especially if it’s torrents on private trackers where you download stuff you don’t want just to build up ratio

      Trackers that make users do that are plainly scams. Probably run by the mpaa to slow down piracy.

      It creates a deadlock where nobody dowloads and nobody uploads. 500 seeds terabytes wasted, sitting with idle internet connections, nobody downloading.

          I’m leaving space for the possibility that some of them aren’t run by the average zero sum idiots that plague the internet and real life. But probably yes, all private trackers I’ve wasted my time joining, have been this kind of stupid shit, resource and time wasting shit.

          Public trackers are far far superior and the only source of torrents to grace my seedboxes.

            You don’t know what you’re missing, good private trackers are much, much better.
