I’ve been using public trackers for the past 20 years, and never had a problem with them. I never got any virus or malware, and almost always found what I was looking for. What I couldn’t find through public trackers, I’d find it with soulseek. So I’m wondering what are the actual advantages of using private trackers?
I don’t see myself as elite, just lucky enough to be into piracy 15 years ago. I don’t seed “junk”, I contribute to a community.
