but when I tried to log in it took me to a Capcha page

and wouldn’t recognise my log in. Not sure if I was foolish to try it. What can my login info be used for if its
not a legitimate site?

Not a major hassle, but it’d be nice if they kept it all in a central folder instead of cluttering up my Inbox.

It’s pretty easy to set up your own DHT search script as well, and a few modern Torrent clients support DHT search right from the Search box. Tribler works, but the interface is sparse and the Channels layout is clunky.

Stop using Private trackers.

They may tend to have higher seed:peer ratios, but you are lowering the pool of available peers and thus hurting the overall torrent cloud.

Leechers may be a pain, but I’ve never seen a popular torrent that didn’t finish eventually. Public sites work perfectly well (especially KAT) and believe it or not, having more peers than seeds is a GOOD sign for the health of a torrent.

As for security and privacy… Don’t get on the internet. Or don’t care. Either works.

I’ve gotten 1 (one) DMCA notice in six years and that was from a file I didn’t have. VPN? Nope. I2P? Sometimes. I use ABP and https everywhere, push as much of my browsing traffic through encryption as possible and Force encryption in the Torrent client. No, it guarantees nothing. Yes, my downloads run great and I’ve uploaded… 2.9tb and download 1.0tb in the last 30 days over residential Comcast cable.
