  • Thanks for the idea about exporting torrent data using the CLI - I'll look into that.

    Re: linking, I currently use sym links to avoid duplicating storage across multiple trackers. My main reason for sym links is so I can link across different devices (my understanding is hard links are limited to the same device). Hard link or sym link aside, the problem is for a given torrent, I don't want to delete it from any trackers if it's performing on at least one of them. My thought process is if I'm keeping the content around for even just one of my trackers, I may as well keep cross seeding it, if for no other reason than to earn that sweet bon. The hard part is identifying which torrents are performing poorly across all trackers. If I can get the data into CSV format, then I think I can massage it well enough to tell which (poorly performing) torrents can be safely purged from all trackers.

  • I'll check it out. Alternative solutions are always welcome. Thanks.

  • Very good point, thank you for chiming in.

  • Good point, and I agree - after reading all the responses, I'm leaning toward spending the few extra bucks so that I don't have to fret all the potential scenarios that might require transcoding.

  • I'll double check my various devices' specs before I move forward. Thanks for confirming that.

    Must my Jellyfin server be able to transcode AV1 videos?

  • Do you know if Proton's port forwarding times out and needs to be reconfigured every so often in the same way the other commenter mentions about Windscribe?

  • I had not read about this criticism of KPMG before. For the benefit of other readers, I found this other forum post from March 2025 where commenters question the worthiness of the KPMG audit for PureVPN. For my own part, I'm not sure I understand what an audit that's acceptable to privacy communities would look like. If somebody can elaborate on this, I would appreciate it.

  • I was afraid of that, but thanks for confirming.

  • My only reservation was that it'll take a really long time (several terabytes on traditional HDDs) but perhaps that is the way to go.

  • They might be flexible with that requirement. People who aren't already on two PTs should use the text box to explain their situation and get creative with their screenshots - for example, show stats in your torrent client proving you continue to seed your downloads. Make a good faith effort and they might look past your lack of other PTs. Good luck.

    LST open for applications for 3-year anniversary

  • S'all good, reach out if you have any questions!

  • I see an application requiring screenshots indicating proof of membership in other private trackers

    Yes, that means they are currently open. Note that, as this post's title says, they are Open Application (not to be confused with Open Registration), meaning anyone can apply without an invitation.

    If you do not have proofs of membership on other PTs, they might still consider you if you give them reasons to let you in. For example, a screenshot of something that shows you would be a valuable member of the community, such as your torrent client showing long seed times and high ratios. Be sure to make your case in the text box.

    Good luck.

    Are tracker stats typically visible to all members or staff only?

  • I experienced this off and on yesterday. The issue seems to have been resolved. Good luck.

  • Note that many commenters in the original Reddit post are reporting that registration is broken (they do not receive the activation email).

    EDIT: Supposedly, the registration issues are resolved.

  • pay to leech

    Just chiming in w/ my own experience: In the six weeks since I joined through open registration, there have been at least two periods of global freeleech. Even outside of those times, almost everything I've searched for has had multiple versions to choose from, and more often than not, at least one of those versions is permanent freeleech.

    There are also multiple bonus point giveaways daily. While there are various donation tiers for those who cannot or will not maintain their ratio through seeding or bonus point buys, it's definitely not pay to leech—I started from scratch a month ago and I'm doing fine.

  • We appreciate it!
