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.

    If you are able to get all the content you need from public trackers and you don’t worry about copyright agancies tracking you than there’s no reason for you at all to bother with private trackers.

      I agree and went with the same route. One thing that private trackers may offer is the forum or the discussion board and plenty of user generated content

      It’s my personal opinion that a lot of piracy, much like the old XDA rom scene is essentially more for archival purposes and keeping an organised library and friend group relevant to the hobby, than it is actual theft
