advantages of using public trackers over private trackers

[Mel M]

Avoid new stuff like CAM's and movies that aren't even in theaters yet and you'll be good.

 

[Hello :D]

download all you want , you dont have to care about anything ..

no ratio , nothing to loose

 

[burbonas]

You can do that in most private trackers as well.

yeah.. but there nobody cries about how i "stole" someones upload or anything similiar..

The warmth of a copyright infringement letter in your inbox.

on popular torrents, it wont matter at all. But on less popular ones, it hurts the swarm in the long run..well, thats my take on it. Wont be discussing ethics of file sharing coz I don't have time for a prolonged discussion.
So, to each his own. Lets just leave it at that.

if your client have low ratio, and you need to sehow a client proof for rediving good private trackes, you can alwais upload in your maximum speed in popular torrents.

Yes, specially packs or compilations. Sometimes I wish seeding on certain private sites was that easy.

You probably would avoid most e-drama, and your time would be better spent in the long run in your life if you use public trackers. And you avoid the e-penis battle too, because you wouldn't hear how his TPB is more l33t than her Mininova account, or how he got an account while you don't. And then maybe you don't have so much trouble for both tracker and user because rule breaking (i.e. trading) wouldn't exist.

The only decent half-public site is Demonoid. Everything else pales in comparison to private trackers.

Less e-drama, no rules, good for getting something "on the fly" without ratio considerations and the like.

In theory, private trackers are worse for anonymity since they have a username with records of everything you have ever downloaded, uploaded, your IP address(es), email etc. etc. where as this information can be easily manipulated or is not present on public trackers. Hop on a VPN and you're set.
