any private trackers with large swarms?

Thanks for all the replies. Just what I was looking for. Much appreciated. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to private trackers though. I don't understand most of the acronyms. Is there a list somewhere that gives the full names for each acronym? I get that TorrentLeech = TL, but as for the rest: TI, IPT, SCC. No clue.

I find the idea that TorrentLeech is easy to get into kind of funny. As far as I can tell all of the closed private trackers seem to be nearly impossible to get into. Even Demonoid seems nearly impossible if I don't actually buy an invite. You have to know someone, and I don't. I was asking just out of a more theoretical curiosity than a practical one. I don't expect to ever have a chance to get into any of these. I suppose I could try to pay someone for an invite, but from what I have seen that is considered uber-bad in the community. If I ever got caught I'd get permabanned. I guess I'll just have to stick with TPB. The whole closed tracker thing seems kind of wasteful to me though. I have a 35/35 mbit FIOS connection. I could really be contributing a lot of upload bandwidth to the private tracker swarms, but I can't get in because of the closed communities.

I ALWAYS have IPT (IPTorrents) invites laying around. once you get the 15 posts required (I think it's 15) for PM privileges PM you and I could give you one.

IPT usually has swarm sizes similar to TorrentLeech from what I have seen, but the swarm diminishes faster. TI I can't recall what it means right now... and SCC has strict rules about no actually saying the name of the tacker, and I try to respect all tracker rules so you'll have to get someone else to post.

My global max connections (in utorrent) is already set to 10000. Connected peers per torrent is 600, and upload slots per torrent is 30.

I recently had the chance to compare a 2000/10000 seed:peer swarm to a 1000/2000 seed:peer swarm. The 1000:2000 swarm maxed out my connection (~4.3MB/sec). With the 2000/10000 swarm my average speed was around 400 KB/sec with a max around 500 KB/sec). So I guess there is a point at which seed:peer ratio starts to reduce download speeds.

I joined a private tracker from the open tracker list, but I was again disappointed with the download speeds. The torrents were small. Usually less than 10 in the swarm. So far TPB has beat it every time when the same files were available. It did have some rare files that I couldn't find on TPB or btjunkie though.

Why is it too high? I do have DHT enabled.

Because there's a small amount of traffic spend in maintaining a connection open, even when you're not uploading or downloading anything. Now, multiply that by all your idle connections. Having DHT enabled adds even more overhead, from that point of view.

I have a 3Mbit line and I can max my download out with these settings:
  • Global connections: 130
  • Connections per torrent: 30
  • Number of upload slots per torrent: 3
  • Use additional upload slots if...: yes

uTorrent has a built-in speed guide and tester which should automatically find the best settings for your line, try it!
