Coming from public trackers, two things stand out as being insane. First, the amount of seeders. Even older torrents or more obscure content will have seeders into the double digits. Second, the speeds. Downloading from a public tracker is almost always slow for me, whether its due to few seeders or “low quality” seeders. With private trackers, way more people have things like seedboxes or pay for high upload speeds, so I am able to max out my download speeds with most torrents. While I’ll admit that most stuff can be found on public trackers, to me private trackers stand out not just in how much content they have, but how well seeded it is, both in amount and quality of seeders.
