Honestly, I agree with this completely. I got into private trackers earlier this year and after a couple months just quit. On public torrents I have a seed ratio over 5.0, since I have gigabit upload and just like giving back, but private trackers just ended up being a pain.
Having to manage ratios was a pain. Having to build your ratio with freeleech was a pain. I never had a single torrent get a positive ratio. To top it off, I didn't even find the selection to be much better than public trackers.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I tried 3-4 and then just gave up. Too many rules and not enough reason to use it.
the top ones truly are super great but theyre really impossible to get into. managing ratios is also stupid. for me DDL and usenet covers everything private trackers have
