This year I‘ll be able to upgrade to 25/25Gbps and I‘m planning on using at least 20Gbps for seeding 24/7. Is any maintainer of private trackers interested in inviting me?

25/25Gbps

Damn! I can't even comprehend such speeds.

I have no idea what you smoked, but 25Gbps (Gigabits per second) is 3.125GBps (Gigabytes per second)

[–] HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 months ago

he's doing a math joke: 25/25 = 1

Missing the /s, both for sarcasm and the mebibits per second :p

How much will you be paying for a 25Gbps connection? And where do you live for these speeds to be available? Where I live 1Gbps is the max since a few years ago and costs 80€.

Can't help you with private trackers except recommending taking the invite for RED/OPS. TL sometimes does open signups and is solid for english content. MAM has a friendly and active community, so I definitly recommend joining them (if you're interested in books/audiobooks).

In Switzerland, the ISP Init7 is offering all their connections for CHF 777.- (USD 861.-) and you just get the maximum speed, which is currently 25/25Gbps. This provider is well known for fighting for net neutrality and being against any censorships or mass surveillance. I just love them very much and wish that other countries would have such awesome ISP‘s as well.

777 CHF per month?

Bandwidth is one part.. Storage is theother and usually you have less storage than bandwidth anyways.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There are actually three parts:

  1. Bandwidth
  2. Space
  3. Personality/engagement with community

You can have number 1 and 2 but still piss off an admin and get banned for 3.

[–] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh I‘m not inexperienced in that area, so I absolutely know what you mean. I just kind of lost the connection to that scene.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago

Of course. I hope you can find a new connection to that scene. It sounds like you're a reasonable person with a decent attitude, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with admins, I wouldn't think. Most admins I've dealt with are pretty fair, even if they're not the most... amicable, let's say.

[–] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Very true. Currently I‘m only at about 45TB of space, but could extend it fairly easily to 198TB or more.

[–] spiderman@ani.social 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

sorry bud but no one is gonna invite you. since you are gonna up your speeds the best you can do is join RED through their interview and race till you reach Torrent Master or Elite Torrent Master and then get into other trackers through their official invite forums.

[–] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Thanks for the hint. Have been out of the game for 15 years and kinda lost all my contacts, since I was mainly using usenet the past few years

[–] spiderman@ani.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

well usenet is a fairly better option too right (if you are in top usenet indexers)? why are you trying to move to private trackers now?

[–] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Not everyone is able to afford subscriptions of indexers and hosters. I just would like to contribute to the community with what I have.

[–] Zorg@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

Even though I'm sure that's what a Honeypot from RIAA/MPAA would say, then that's awfully nice of you.
I'm fairly sure I have invites to one or both of tleech & tday. Will check later.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you, sincerely!

[–] restlessyet@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

Do you want to supplement your usenet sources? If so, what type of content/language are you looking for? Do you have any proof like screenshots of the old times left?

Things that should be answered before anyone would consider giving away an invite, because that is also a liability.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Coudn't they start their own private tracker? With the requisite blackjack and hookers?

[–] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Technically yes, but I don‘t have the nerve and time to manage it properly and I wouldn’t want to host a mediocre service. Also legal stuff etc is making many things complicated.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I'd be down to help out
