As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites.

I’ll only use private trackers if I can’t find what I’m looking for on a public tracker. Private tracker rules can get pretty onerous and I prefer to just avoid the whole scene if possible.

If I’m honest, this opinion surprises me. I didn’t expect to prefer public trackers. I always thought that private trackers were so cool and exclusive. I don’t think that way anymore.

    Private, I like sharing in a community. Particularly like the Nordic one I’m in, they make sure everything has nice subs. There’s also a few quirky torrents on there, like a collection of very old and niche Swedish PC games, many of which I remember fondly from when I was young.

      What’s the proportions of Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish content on there? I’ve been trying to get into some more private trackers apart from MAM and TL

        I couldn’t tell you really since I’m only looking for one of them. But I think it’s predominantly Swedish, or maybe it’s just bias. 😄
