    You know a torrent site that has German releases?

        Basically all closed and invite only. Since asking for an invite is bad practice, you have no chance in getting into any of those if you are not already in or have friends who are already in.

          That’s not really right.

          It’s easiest to have friends but there are a dozen sites. They open registrations from time to time. If you want to get into X but only Y has open registrations, visit Y, seed and/or leech and you’ll build up reputation. That’ll make it easier to get into the next tracker. It’s not done within a day but you can get into each tracker within a couple of weeks. If you own a seedbox, you will have a very easy life.

            Sounds like a second job. Hard pass.

            Also there is currently just one open registration in the posted link. And i am waiting now for 3 days for the return E-Mail.

              Setting up *arr properly takes time. Joining multiple trackers isn’t difficult, it’s just not done within an hour but over time.

                  It’s not server side? *Arr is something you can keep running on your pc and it’ll manage itself.

              Sounds like a second job.

              Only a job for your PC, it just needs to shovel bytes.
              You only need to download a few popular torrents and seed them for some time. Some trackers count score for certain torrents differently, like if almost no one is seeding them anymore, or if there is a high demand. It is probably marked visibly when they do that. I don’t think it requires much work, and probably it’s fine too if you only deal with it every few days. Just keep the torrent client running and seeding, at it’ll be fine. Unless you don’t use your computer much, it’s enough if the torrent client runs while your PC is on, but under a few hours a day I’ll build up slowly.

                That’s great that ppl are saying it is easy. The upvotes on my posts say otherwise AND i have not heard back from any of those i applied or registered for. So I cannot seed when i am not getting an account to begin with.

          aren’t interviews possible? i’m not in any private trackers, but i heard some groups do interviews.

          i’d have a chance at getting in, since my torrent box runs around the clock, and once i get a VPN running i’m not afraid to constantly upload at maybe 1/4 of my bandwidth.

        I literally just replied to someone else saying that it’s very hard to find German stuff. Will take a look at this once I get home, thanks a lot.

          It’s probably best to still use a VPN or seedbox. But the chance that you get some nice mail is much lower because much more effort is required by the lawfirm. In order to get the IP addresses of people seeding the torrent they would first need an account and would get banned pretty quickly by not seeding or just snatching hundreds of torrents and not downloading them

        Only private trackers. I don’t know why there aren’t any exile Germans torrenting but there is barely anything. Private trackers are better for storing and sharing content anyway.

          Well but private trackers are hard to get into when you are just starting out and as someone already said I don’t want to pirate as a second job

            Not my experience, but ok.

            I’m here for advice if you ever want to have a look into private trackers 👍🏻
