Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.

My problem has been that I don't have any idea where to begin to look for these or get access.

I use a VPN, I have subscriptions to Usenet hosts and nzb trackers. I seed aggressively, especially stuff with low seeds or that I generally just think should be shared. But apparently not in the scene enough or tried hard enough to figure out a place that even has stuff I want besides the public ones.
