The real goals are to spread information as wide as possible, and to encourage people to participate according to their abilities. Ratios themselves have no meaning, neither has hierarchy on some website. Even Boxtorrents allowed public downloads until it went on red alert, and its admins got MIA, apparently.

We all know the real reason for this. It's circlejerk.

Throw your tantrum for as long as you want, but I will enjoy my seedboxed shorts and OVAs, allowing me to download at 10MB/s no matter the anime I want to download. No delayed watching, no 50kb/s seeded by some Australian. If it wasn't for private trackers, I'd have quit watching anime a long, long time ago. Nyaa doesn't have shit. And most the older anime it still has seed at 3rd world speeds.

Nobody cares.

No, she's fine.

Let's see. My combined upload/download ratio over 15 years and multiple torrent clients is about 40. Obviously, most of it is on public torrents, but my statistics on private trackers allows me to download everything anyway. I have never spend a single cent on seedboxes and donations. I don't have a multi-terabyte storage that holds everything, it all came just from keeping stuff online as appropriate.

It is strange that you aren't aware of the problems with private trackers. Even a decade ago, they were openly criticized, and some have since improved (causing a spectacular butthurt of certain kind of its users). Closed trackers don't encourage participation that could significantly help the spread of the data, and they are unacceptably centralized. Press on its owners to shut it down, and everything disappears. What is the point of praising the choice and speed that were provided, if the data is now a dead weight scattered across the globe, and making it publicly available requires the same amount of work as making it publicly available from the get go?

A lot of people on private trackers want to feel proud of their perceived fame in these communities. To keep their delusions intact, admins keep the show going. It doesn't help that most admins belong to that group.

You have described some things you enjoy getting from others, but haven't told what others can get from you, that's quite a consumerist attitude. Shouldn't you, perhaps, switch to streaming?

I am Legend on AB without a single piece of transcoded music, but thank you very much. You're not entitled to get access to all the data you want because it happens to exist. There is no problem with private trackers. They enable the continued existence of data. You have no clue what you're talking about and don't even realize how much content can almost exclusively be found on certain trackers such as PTP. Trackers where people upload content impossible to buy. Publishing this content directs attention towards then and the upload, increasing probability of criminal/civil prosecution and for the sites to get nuked. Hosting something on a private network reduces those odds.

Again, throw your little tantrum as much as you want but you clearly have no idea why private trackers are a necessity, and why they are required. Half the non-seasonal shit you download off Nyaa used to come from ADC, a private tracker for asian content. Be humble.

It's “AnimeBytes”, “PassThePopcorn”, and “AsianDVDClub”. Following the rule of NOT STATING, UNDER ANY CONDITIONS, THE FULL NAME OF THE TRACKER OUTSIDE OF IT TO KEEP RIAA/MPAA AWAY was laughable even back in the days. You're such a cringeworthy circlejerker.

which tracker touched you, user?
