i was just wondering if anyone has found a new home since RARBG’s departure…
someone pointed out this site to me, which looks interesting because you can search by imdb number: rarbg2.to
it looks different that all the fake RARBG knock-offs…
TorrentLeech has opened its doors, but the seeding requirements are brutal…
Seeding requirements are tough and I know private is not the way for everyone.
But seeding does help the community and can be done with minimal effort if you are crafty about it and have the space with a computer you leave on 24/7, or even easier, a seedbox. Just freelech a few hundred gigabytes of the most popular stuff, let it seed for a few weeks, and when you come back, you’ll have tons of upload credit to download stuff.
Rinse and repeat each month. Unlimited free stuff glitch, lol. Except it’s not a glitch, just not too hard to do, even encouraged. After doing this a few times you will have tons of free credit with very little effort on your part.
Once you have the credit, delete the popular torrents to free up space (if you don’t want them) and grab new freeleaches for more credit.
I feel like in private trackers, you don’t seed to help the community. You FIGHT for the ability to seed, because everyone craves upload numbers but it’s a limited commodity.
When there is free leech and seeding points you don’t need to be racing. with patience you can build enough buffer to download what you want. In TL the bonus points are capped though, so with autobrr you can make some little upload buffer on every new FL torrent.
The problem is this means you have to download whatever the newest freeleech torrent is ASAP and seed it as much as you can, rather than downloading content you want right away and seeding it. If there’s 500 seeds and 1 leech, you aren’t getting much upload buffer.
I’ve never actually broken 1.0 on a torrent on TL because it’s impossible, there are too many seeds and nobody actually wants to download much of the crap lol. Freeleech is the only thing making decent ratios possible for plebs without seedboxes and automation.
It doesn’t matter if you get 1.0 ratio on FL downloads. Anything counts towards your upload buffer. By auto downloading FLs I’ve made a buffer of about 2TB since I joined on Christmas.
Yeah, but you still have to be super aggressive about it, an FL torrent over an hour old is completely useless in my experience and you shouldn’t download it unless you actually want the contents. Plus you still have to keep your FL torrents running for 10 days, but you get all the uploading done in the first few hours, so the rest of the time is a completely useless waste of disk space.
Personally I just reached >5.0, but I’ve only downloaded two torrents I actually wanted, the rest have been whatever FL bs I could get my hands on early enough to get some uploading in lol
