Which tracker is the safest?

There is no safest tracker. It is a myth. All the internet traffic has to pass through lines, nodes, ISPs etc. No matter how much you encrypt it there is always a way to decrypt it. If the Governments want to find about a particular tracker they can do so very easily. But following are some guidelines to find a safer tracker!

1. First of all the tracker should not be a known P2L. There are quite a few sceners who are special enemies to such trackers.
2. Should not be very well known. Your precious SCT was one of the most insecure tracker on earth because every one seemed to be know its name and url.
3. The smallest the better. It is on the assumption that the Agencies would not waste time running tiny trackers but would rather go after the big names.
4. It should be harder to get in.

These four conditions do not indicate towards a safest tracker but they would help you to find a safer tracker.

so wrong :happy:
 
If you can get invited to a tracker, don't you think an anti-P2P employee who gets PAID to get into these sites can do it too?
Are you ure about that? Not saying it isn't true, but people always say this. Do we have any info that proves that there are anti-piracy agents who get paid to get into every little secret tracker possible?

Sure, doing this is a way to lead them to the scene, the source which is often their primary target, but what makes us so sure they're always going after them (in permanent long-term investigations)?

Are we only assuming this? (and yeah it's better to be on the safe assuming side, but that's not my point).
 
The only safe tracker is the one with a single member (yourself). Any time someone gets invited that you don't know in real life, your tracker is no longer safe.

If you can get invited to a tracker, don't you think an anti-P2P employee who gets PAID to get into these sites can do it too?

Yawn @ paranoia.
 
Yawn @ paranoia.

you got that right.
ftwr closed because there was no motivation to run it.
Fort knox and sct,intentionally closed to conceal evidence to protect specific persons for possibly their own individual mistakes.
Where does this secure v/s insecure tracker debate come from?
 
i think all "national" trackers are good enough as long as you're foreign to them
 
For you, all trackers are "safe".
In fact, even for torrent staff trackers are safe unless they do really naughty things.
Feds will spend their money taking down the source (ftp's, release groups) rather than spending money to take down one torrent site and watch 3 more pop up..

Why waste money trying to take down one distributor when they can go after the source and kill all distributors?
 
They'll still try to catch you if you're within their reach - or at least send you a letter. I'd advice using an IP filter and being careful with what you download from TPB.
 
Thats a good question I been asking myself that for a longtime i just try to limit my dl's to what I need and not go crazy on a tracker.
