Tbh I see everyone bothering with private trackers and I can't stand that this is what it has come to. Torrenting is meant to be open to everyone, and it is a 0-sum game. It is physically impossible for everyone to have above 1 ratio. Policing ratio just means your users who are not able to own a seedbox get kicked out in the name of "they're just leeches" while your users who do enjoy 10-20 ratio for content they don't even intend to watch.

I should specify I'm not mad cuz bad, my overall ratio stands at 2.89 (3 max per torrent). I always seed my torrents because my router is a torrent client, I'm just mad that this is what is necessary to stand a chance in private trackers, which are an abomination to begin with.

I guess this isn't for everyone, but I find my torrents on the DHT. I have a magnetico instance running at night (because believe it or not, NAT tables don't like you opening 2000 sessions per second to a different IP each time), and it crawls the DHT for random torrents. These are guaranteed at least 1 seeder, and since I found them on the DHT I am much more likely to find other seeders on the DHT as well.

Honestly, it's been serving me quite well. I can't share access publicly because take a wild guess at what you find randomly on the DHT, but if there was a realistic way of moderating out that, I would. In the meantime, I highly recommend you get a raspberry pi and install magnetico yourself.
