As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they're doing.

Not selling or trading so hopefully this is still within the rules. If this gets a lot of responses I'll just choose someone at random.

Edit: this had a lot of responses and is now complete. In the interest of fairness I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - congratulations @TopRamenBinLaden

Stupid question but what is TL?

[–] p5f20w18k@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

TorrentLeech, private tracker

[–] Altomes@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh nice, I’m on IPtorrents already give it to the more needy

[–] matey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Doesn't hurt to have multiple. (At least, I hope, since I'm in like five.)

Hey can you send me an invite? I've been very interested in it for a long time

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (7 children)

How in the world do y’all manage to get into so many? Granted I’ve not put in a ton of effort, but every time I look into getting into a private tracker, all methods seem closed or dead.

[–] matey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

I followed /r/opensignups and jumped on a few. I did pay to get into IPT as my first, though. Worth it, imo.

What is a private tracker?

[–] H2iK@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

A tracker (a server/website used to track torrents uploaded to it by members; torrent clients require these tracker servers to know how to download the torrent) that is private (not freely accesible to the general public, typically needing a registered account).

[–] Beanerrr@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I don't want it but I'll upvote. Good on you internet stranger

I would love an invite, myself. This is super cool of you to do. Thanks and good luck everyone.

[–] CheekyYoghurts@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - your reply number. It's yours, my man. Send me a PM with your email address.

Wow, I never win anything. This is awesome. Thanks so much for your generosity.

[–] Kathmandu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve actually been looking for a private tracker.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I'm using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

What I used to do was look for high activity free leech, and then let it seed for a few weeks.

[–] CheekyYoghurts@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It doesn't have anything to do with speeds mate, it's easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn't even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you'll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.

Would really be interested. I'm really missing RARBG and was too late for open signups...

[–] totallynotarobot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

If your die roll chooses me, I promise to use it for good not evil.

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

Been in TL for a while, great tracker. Don’t need the invite but take my upvote.

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

TL is awesome. Only occasionally do I need other trackers

Yes please!!

[–] there1snospoon@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 years ago

That seems generous; I’d like it if you’re willing. If not, hope whoever gets good use out of it.

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Just a heads up the Trackers community has an invites post you could participate in

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'd love it if I get lucky. I promise to use it for evil, not good, but the good kind of evil.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'll put my hat in the ring.

I seed, I have a 1.5 ratio on IPT and I didn't buy it. I do use the bonus points but I mean, c'mon, the'yre there!

Been looking to get off IPT though because of the owners sketchyness, so I've been recently looking for a new "home."

I’m here for it. If it’s still available :)

[–] cfras@lemmy.cfras.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have a couple I'll never use too. Let me know who you send it to and I'll send a couple more.

Would love to get into TL. If anyone has an invite they'd like to pass out, please shoot one my way!

Have fibre internet, 1gb up. Typically seed a 3:1 ratio at a minimum.

Edit: Got an invite. Thanks so much everyone that offered!

[–] RocksForBrains@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Saw this late, but congrats to the winner!

[–] KpochMX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I am very interested in this kind sir. If you want I can give you an IPTorrent invite in return?

[–] penmoid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I would absolutely be interested in this as well. When What.cd and Empornium shutdown I migrated over to Usenet, but I have really missed the wide availability of torrents since then.

[–] trivial99@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

count me in! i'll Take the L

[–] Numuruzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

In the middle of a move, I hope to homelab a setup at my new location but currently a newb (essentially). Can't use this yet but upvoting for coolness.

[–] LuckyLu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I’m in a position to seed quite well since my connection is uncapped, and I’d be happy to share some rarer finds of mine. Unfortunately the power grid where I live is unstable as shit so might not be the best choice. Up to you I suppose, OP.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (9 children)

I’ve been adrift since baconBits shut down. Would love an invite.
