Not that anon but I'd guess porn, especially the not so recent ones that people have pretty much just stopped seeding.

But you can usually find them and download somewhere else. But some, especially the paid stuff, don't seem to make their way to torrenting sites, at least not the public ones I myself have used.

What do you mean by "sold all data"? Which data? Like the 700 MB rips? User data? Pro-tip: when you download a yify movie, then you're downloading it from other seeders, not necessarily from Yify unless he's one of the seeders. Also, your info's already public when you download, regardless of who's seeding your downloads, unless you're using a proxy or private tracker. Unless you mean like downloading subtitles directly from Yify's website.

For me its 80s&90s HK movies.

A few of them are on YouTube, which is brilliant, but the ones that aren't are impossible to obtain.
Its not even the obscure ones. I downloaded Jackie Chans Thunderbolt in 2 minutes and Tiger on the Beat in about 25 last year, my new PC has been running since August waiting for someone to seed these two movies, the former is at 0%, the latter goes up by about 0.7% every day.

The fuck happened? What are people doing to get their free shit now?

Are you guys new to the internet? Why all this mention of public trackers? Don't you use private trackers? Of course you'll encounter old, unseeded, files. They're public trackers. People don't have any incentives to seed.

i'm sure eventually i'll go through the steps to get an invite but i was always paranoid of keeping my ratio up so i never used my account and now it's lost forever. i wish i had bought into the idea more instead of ignoring it for so long i will say. now i just hate the idea of going through the interview process and haven't yet found anything that it killed me that i couldn't find.

these are my stats from the last year since switching to qbitorrent. eventually finding stuff that was unseeded led me to keep my torrents active.

Also what is your account? I used to download rare shit too since the whole SOPA stuff treatened to kill torrent sites but my $100 HDD got rekt somehow and now everything is lost.

several ways.
ask for an invite, or
monitor the site everyday, sometimes they open registration every now and then. like if you're into Asian movies, a private tracker dedicated to them opens their registration every weekend, sometimes. So keep checking.
>>
>>62816443

>private trackers

I don't want to download shit I don't want to see so I can have a positive d/u ratio, it's not worth it. You can get everything easily from public trackers and the only downside is that you can't trust every uploader.

I challenge you to find this on public trackers:

500+ old Hollywood movies (1930s to 1950s), or foreign films with commentary tracks included (commentaries from the director, cinematographer), in quality rips.

It's alive on another private tracker. Pic related. It says 3 seeders, but 9 times out of 10, it's seeded by someone using a seedbox, so the speed is excellent.
