That happens regardless of tracker. Only idiots torrent without a VPN.

I torrent without a VPN! It's nice. Haven't received an ISP notice since 2006, around the time I last downloaded a movie from a public tracker.

What an adorable lie. In reality, if you lack the competency find what you’re looking for using a public tracker, the rigmarole of going through the signup/waitlist/etc bullshit of a private tracker will be way beyond you.

It sounds like you just lack patience. There's very little bullshit involved.

A common refrain with absolutely zero supporting evidence and which falls apart under the slightest of scrutiny.

I stand by my points. Clearly there's no sense trying to convince you, but maybe someone less stubborn will be encouraged to join a private tracker.
