It’s a good idea to start with MAM since they have interviews twice a week, and you can access invites for other trackers in the forums once you get to vip (which requires 4 weeks of membership, and a ratio above 2.0)

One of the nicer things about it is that you can gain bonus points (which is how you buy extra upload credit and VIP) just by being an available seed. Due to the shear number of books on the site, you won’t be seeding often, but they make it desirable to keep it available in case someone needs it by giving you a certain number of bonus points per hour depending on various factors.

That's a lot of work. I can't imagine putting that much effort into downloading, not when Usenet doesn't require anything but a couple dollars a month.

*Uploading, and that's why you wouldn't get an invite for a private tracker

No, that's why I wouldn't even ask for one. No point wasting so much time tending a ratio when I've got a faster experience that doesn't require me to do anything, and doesn't depend on random strangers to work.

Usenet doesn't have all instantly
