Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about private trackers?
Why are you trying to restrict the people you can share with, lol.
Because public trackers get takedown notices.
private trackers are intended for people who seed for a long time, contribute an upload or do both of them. that's one of the reasons why you can find rare stuff in private trackers that won't be either available or have zero seeders in public trackers.
Trackers should get built on a distributed platform like the fediverse too so stuff like this can't take them down.
Look up I2P
I meant for the web front end portion of the trackers. The part the users browse.
Yeah I've always wondered that. I haven't found any "forum" that can be hosted (and moderated) fully p2p. I'm unsure how to build it either. Ideally you'd want something like an imdb so you'd need revision control with keys who can edit what and forks maybe and moderator privileges and caching.
You are actually in the vast majority.
It's to ensure everything remains well seeded.
Public trackers have no seeders for less popular content. Even popular content lose seeders relatively quickly.
