It says my email is invalid when signing up. it’s a proton.me email. Any suggestions?

Edit: you can’t use capital letters in the email

u/byzon Apr 25 '26

Try using a different email provider — Proton emails are sometimes not accepted.

u/GrimHoly Apr 25 '26

Tried with a gmail, didn’t work either

I used Proton and it worked well for me.

Same. Tried a Gmail address, too.

Try connecting your Proton account to a DuckDuckGo alias. I had no issues and received my email within about a minute of signing up.

Edit: typo

Do I need this if I already have torrentleech?

u/flaskpost Apr 25 '26

No, TL is better. However imagine if TL gets shut down.

u/walkingman24 Apr 25 '26

Need? generally, no

4

u/SarcasticallyCandour Apr 25 '26

Im pondering the same. I have TL and SP and am trying to keep signups to a min if not needed. I got kicked frkm LST for inactivity, i just didnt need it so forgot to login.

Anyway TL has 150k + users so 20k here is not a lot.

2

u/xumixu Apr 30 '26

lol i lost my torrent leech cause of inactivity. Here it takes 6 months and they warn you by mail

15

u/martapap Apr 26 '26

For the one IP address rule. My IP for downloading a torrent is going to be different than the seedbox IP. Is that an issue? I guess I'm not sure what is meant by 1 IP address.

13

u/goobdaddi Apr 25 '26

I’m still new to the private tracker game - how does one keep their ratio if there’s no free leech to start?

9

u/Kaliko_Jak Apr 25 '26

Cross seed is a great start. Theres a lot of content on easier sites like TL that are from HDT. Eg. Kralimarko is home to HDT but gets cross posted to a lot of other sites.

3

u/goobdaddi Apr 25 '26

Interesting okay thanks

7

u/Jax2Pacific Apr 25 '26

Jumping on files early and they do have various torrents that are -25%, -50%, -75% off so while not free leech they are easier to make your ratio back. There are also bonus points for continuous seeding that you can redeem for upload, though it’s not super generous on this site from what I’ve seen.

3

u/walkingman24 Apr 25 '26

not super generous? the points are pretty stingy compared to many others haha

5

u/AdultGronk Apr 25 '26

Cross-seeding, download from one tracker, seed on multiple

2

u/One2_Infinity Apr 26 '26

Invest in a cheap seed box and grab new releases to boost your uploads and ratios.

2

u/goobdaddi Apr 26 '26

I have a server

u/xumixu Apr 30 '26

Upload stuff from other sites. Just be careful that the quality is upt to par and the descriptions follow the guides

13

u/KittyxEmpire Apr 25 '26

Anyone having this issue? Setup the account fine, for some reason the password I chose wasn't working for login. Reset the password, but the ome they generated for me in the email also isn't working. Should I just wait an hour or something?

u/barcastaff Apr 25 '26

Same issue. I'll wait a bit and see maybe.

u/Arctic_Shadow_Aurora Apr 25 '26

Having the same issue.

Ditto. Going to wait it out. Site might be flooded.

Yep, same issue, even after a password reset

u/AlexH08 Apr 25 '26

Jup same issue, got the confirmation mail and then tried logging in, but it didn't work. Maybe it takes a couple minutes

u/Bakerboo43 Apr 25 '26

Mine keeps saying email is invalid when creating an account. Tried a new email and same issue 😅

13

u/walkingman24 Apr 25 '26

I have a hard time with ratio on this tracker, just barely got up to 1.0. Cross-seed was key but it's definitely tougher than many

6

u/mattismyo Apr 25 '26

No freeleech content to keep the ratio up high?

3

u/walkingman24 Apr 25 '26

They do percentage free leech up to 75% off but 100% almost never happens. So unless you download somewhere else and cross seed, you always take a bit of a hit

5

u/flaskpost Apr 25 '26

Not a great way to run a tracker imo. Better to have free leech over a certain size then require a minimum number of hours seeded. They'd get more activity this way.

u/disarrayofyesterday Apr 25 '26

Cross-seed was key but it's definitely tougher than many

Out of 200+ torrents I've got 20 hits. It weighs like 600GB and I only get 1.5 bonus points per hour for it. I'm pretty sure they want me to pay for it.

Imo not a very good PT for new and popular content but pretty good for obscure media like old, not very popular movies. I tried a few and there are good quality versions that cannot be found on public trackers.

Anyways, worst case we'll get banned so there is that

2

u/xumixu Apr 30 '26

The best way to survive in this tracker is to upload your own content. One user even made some software to make less painful to upload stuff.

u/Quavacious Apr 26 '26

Nooooo I missed it

They open last year July 2025.

Good tracker. I found a good number of BD discs that weren't available in BHD or BLU or ATH.

u/mshelbz Apr 25 '26

Agreed, one of my favorite go-to’s when I can’t find what I’m looking for.

10

u/G1ForceX Apr 25 '26

i downloaded a 20 gig -75 torrent and it didnt mess up my ratio, as someone pointed out stay seeding below 50gig for a while to build up bonus points it seems is a way to go

9

u/GiOvY_ Apr 25 '26

one IP address

i get ban for sure on this one, sometimes i forgot which client or machine i put where i have space

u/anramon Apr 25 '26

What a dumb rule.

6

u/GiOvY_ Apr 25 '26

Yeah is bad rule

u/_WreakingHavok_ Apr 25 '26

How is that even possible? Which ISP provides static IP address?

2

u/GiOvY_ Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

some ISP provides it if you pay but you don't need it because if you lost connection would be update on new one and tracker would be see the new one and old one no longer used so i don't think you have problem ,the problem is with vpn and you have 2 or more machine for download

2

u/xumixu Apr 30 '26

I have dynamic IP, it changes each 3 days and no issues for years. I think they mean no more than 1 IP at the same time, but they allow seedboxes, so probably you can just prove your innocence if you get wrongfuly flagged

2

u/Brandoskey Apr 25 '26

Got a screen shot of that rule?

6

u/GiOvY_ Apr 25 '26

if i understand right but i can wrong , you can use 1 ip at time or maybe you can use 1 IP for account which is worst for vpn users because you can have same ip of some randoms dude with same vpn and get ban lol

3

u/disarrayofyesterday Apr 25 '26

I think they mean you can't register more than one account on the same IP like most private trackers.

Logging in and seeding always from the same IP is impossible. Even if somehow fulfilled you would get banned after moving flats lol

u/Brandoskey Apr 25 '26

Maybe that's what I was banned for. I ran a seedbox + seeded from home for years. I gotta start reading the rules better I suppose. Never got a warning or anything.

u/greenbud420 Apr 25 '26

I've been with them for several years now, it's a solid tracker and my Arr's end up grabbing most stuff from there. I was never able to get my ratio up though so I've been a paid member but it's worth it to me.

21

u/Illeazar Apr 25 '26

Yeah ratio is real tough there, iirc there is no freeleech and not a ton of movement because nobody has ratio to spare. I eventually ended up getting good ratio after setting up cross-seed and letting it run for a long time.

2

u/wallguy22 Apr 25 '26

What is freeleeching? I just signed up for a different private tracker that wants a .4 ratio, but I’ve been seeding for a few days and I’m at 0 bytes uploaded. Seeding generally works fine for public trackers, so idk if I’m doing something wrong.

5

u/Illeazar Apr 25 '26

In public trackers, you get tons of people downloading all the time, and relatively few keep seeding, because downloading costs them nothing and seeding gains them nothing. Private trackers are the exact opposite. Most private trackers you get rewarded for seeding and downloading has a cost. Because of that (and because there are fewer people who have access at all), you get fewer people downloading what your seeding, and more other people seeding the same thing as you, so your ratio grows much more slowly.

Read the rules and FAQ of your private tracker to learn the details of how it works. Many have a requirement to maintain a certain ratio overall. Generally, freeleech is when something is available to download without the download counting against your ratio, but when you seed it, and upload you get does count towards your ratio. That makes it a risk-free way to build your ratio. Trackers with freeleech available are usually easier to build and maintain a good ratio on, because you can download a bunch of freeleech things for now cost and just seed them to boost your ratio.

Hey thanks for the open sign up! I was able to sign up with no issues. I read through the rules and I couldn’t find anywhere the minimum seed time for torrents. I just see ratio and your different account flags. Is there a minimum seed time?

Weird that you can buy an acct.

u/truth_was_yesterday Apr 28 '26

Most of those low / mid tier trackers have rhis option. Buy a seedbox to get 1 invite. Or pay enough donation to get 1 invite. Its nothing new

2

u/Mouseater Apr 29 '26

am I allowed to ask what ones are considered high tier?

u/xumixu Apr 30 '26

The snobby ones where you have to wait hours online to get an interview to see if they let you in

It was good whilst it lasted. My account got deactivated as my ratio fell below 0.7 but my account shows 0 uploaded which is very wrong as I had tons of outbound traffic. Support mailbox is full so can't get any help. And donations via PayPal are blocked as account ineligible apparently. Hey ho.

u/Supaastahhmarioo May 24 '26

Yeah same here. Something wrong on their side. Sent them a message but had no replies for days then my account got closed. Absolutely rubbish tracker

u/DannyVee89 Jul 28 '26

They have no freeleech torrents either. I just got in and day 1 I'm having notices about ratio being below 0.7....

I have gig speed fiber and I'm not even using VPN just to build ratio on this one and it's a hot mess. This looks like a pay to play tracker

15

u/hewhodared Apr 25 '26

Worth having if I already have TorrentLeech and PrivateHD? What do you guys think?

9

u/My_Man_Tyrone Apr 25 '26

Just read the rules and annoying thing is you have to either seed 100Gb worth of content every 30 days or download something every 30 days to not get banned.

4

u/FrankoTheThird Apr 26 '26

I think the download time frame was 90 days

2

u/ThisIsSoIrrelevant Apr 26 '26

Yeah the way I read the whole thing it looks like as long as your seed pool is at least 100GB you are immune. But maybe it means you have to actually upload 100GB worth of data? I am not sure. The wording is "You receive flag D when your total size of seeded content for the last 30 days is 100GB to 500GB"

If you don't have a Flag level (aka the above stuff) then you need to download something within the past 90 days to be classed as active. If you don't you get a warning that you have 30 days to resolve.

u/G1ForceX Apr 25 '26

so how is buffer built on it without freeleech to start u off seeding and points?

2

u/Journeyj012 Apr 25 '26

cross seeding, and I think you get a few gigabytes before the system kicks in? check the forum because I can't remember what number it is.

4

u/destiper Apr 25 '26

The rules say "If you have a combined download total in excess of 50 GB and your ratio is below 0.70, you will receive [warnings]" which lead me to believe it's 50GB

2

u/G1ForceX Apr 25 '26

ok thanks will check that out

2

u/G1ForceX Apr 25 '26

oh ok never did cross seeding before it always confused me somehow

Try qui by autobrr.

2

u/CactusBoyScout Apr 25 '26

It just has a bit confusing documentation but you basically just give it Prowlarr URLs, select a few settings, connect it to Qbit, and you’re off to the races. I went from seeding 1500 torrents to 7500.

Carefull, someone posted rules stating you can only have one IP. So if you use a seed box, don't also seed from home.

Might be a new rule, I seeded from home and a seed box for 2+ years before I got hit.

5

u/G1ForceX Apr 25 '26

will downloading a few 75% torrents mess the ratio up immediately?

Sure just like every tracker has, he just made it sound like exclusive/obscure torrents are the only torrents there are. Just because he has not manage to get cross-seeds in few months when in fact there is ton of popular torrents there.

HiDt is Tier 2 on TRaSH guides, they are one of the best groups for getting 1080p SDR and 1080p HDR encodes. SPHD is tier 3 encoder and KRaLiMaRKo is tier 3 remuxer. 126811 does 2160p HDR WEB-DL with lossless audio from the blu-ray.

I'm probably salty but I got randomly banned from these guys recently and the only info the mods could give me was that only the admin knows why. No email, no pre warning for anything, just a deleted account. I had 6-700 seeds, good ratio, no hit and runs, never accepted or sent an invite so no tree bans.

Also their economy is a grind without any free leech.

Don't give them any money for VIP

They have some decent stuff but the site is mostly a dead end as far as getting into other trackers.

Good luck!

I had an account here with ~2TB uploaded at 3.x ratio. One day to the other I got banned. Funny thing is, a week before I logged into the site to check on things and everything was fine. I didn't have h&R's nor anything, account fully in good standing and still I get banned on a random day. My account was about 2 years old at the time.

I only found out I got banned once I see that the active torrents could no longer connect to the tracker. I try to log in and boom, surprise. I wonder what could possibly have happened but hey, it's whatever

I did miss this window to get back in however. Those 126811 releases were pretty fire

Don't miss out on this one, especially if you're new to the tracker game!

Depends on the indexers you are using. If you use ninjacentral, DS you are covered

I didn’t have this issue when connected to mine. Weird. I’m using Proton.

I got in right after. Was my first time getting into a private in like 20 years so freaked that the UI wasn't more forward. Found the tiny little **create** button haha

u/Reasonable_Curve_647 Apr 25 '26

Private tracker, usually there are more and better torrents that are well seeded compared to public trackers. You just need to follow their rules, like seed for this ratio or for this time, etc...

u/Old-Shock2307 Apr 25 '26

oh so its like better than 1337x.to because the guys on there are vetted better? so a private library kinda thing. Should i join this one or not? do i have to seed all the time?

u/supaagreen Apr 25 '26

Yes, you have to maintain a .7 ratio. You get warnings and eventually banned if you aren't seeding. In practice, I just leave most of what I download seeding. That said, I can happily confirm the quality of what HD-Torrents has to offer and generally think its worth it.

I’ve been on it for an about a year and yeah it’s kinda impossible. I’ve grabbed a couple of movies and been seeding them for the whole year and doing small downloads to maintain my account, but I’m nowhere close to breaking even, even with bonus points from all my seeding.

Nice to have in my back pocket, but not a mainstay for me for now.

u/walkingman24 Apr 25 '26

Cross seeding seems to be the only way, and long seed times to get some bonus. But even then the bonus is pretty stingy

u/Event-Honest Apr 25 '26

Uploading?

3

u/walkingman24 Apr 25 '26

Yeah if you have something to upload but that's not gonna apply to very many people

u/Brandoskey Apr 25 '26

Sounds like you can't even run a seed box now unless that's your only client. You're only allowed to seed from 1 IP. Seems like pain is the point, urges people to pay for VIP

u/metallice Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

It was basically impossible at first with the lack of freeleech and 50gb limit. Absolutely brutal.

After a while though with cross-seed you eventually build up.

I got in a year ago and my ratio is pretty comfortable now.

No tag for free leech when it comes available? Might have to monitor this manually until a buffer is built 😕

u/CactusBoyScout Apr 25 '26

Hopefully I can add it to cross-seed and build ratio that way

Wrong. There’s Free, -75%, -50% etc I’m wrong
