Got banned from torrent leech after uninstalling theyr broken cracked softwares that i couldnt manage to run properly, dropping my ratio above 0.4… that’s a shame, my qbittorrent ratio is 5 and i quite seed anything untill i need more space on the drives. Any (free of course) alternatives ?

    You know… that’s not a bad idea, I just need a general tracker for dumb stuff that’s now allowed on my niche trackers such as cams, Usenet would be perfect for that… time to go down the rabbit hole and figure it all out again lol

      Just a heads up that you probably shouldn’t install games/software from usenet. Pretty much anyone can upload anything they want to an indexer, and it’s usually the same thing that gets mirrored to other indexers as well. For movies/tv this generally doesn’t end up to be a problem but for anything you execute it could be dangerous

      For software I recommend you sign up to m0nkrus and for games you can either be safe with fitgirl-repacks.site or find a way into GazelleGames

        Getting into GGn might be tricky, but it’s definitely worth it and plenty of FL. Also very active even some obscure content gets regular seeders.

        For software, maybe add DigitalCore to that list. It’s better to use a site dedicated to software (like m0nkrus :3) then something like a general tracker with loose upload rules.
