Epub Site

To answer directly, MAM is a great private tracker for many reasons, including their epub library. Bibliotik is supposed to be good but harder to get in.

For other options, have a look here.

Tracker Tier List

Additional trackers and my ratings. Curious to see anyone's take on them.

I highly appreciate a well organized tracker that also accommodates the *arr suite. Also if it's the best in its category, even if it doesn't hit the mark on other factors.

If drama doesn't affect normal use of the website, then it's not a big factor for me. I only seriously got into the private tracker scene 2 years ago.

Should we include public trackers?

There's a 5 year old Reddit thread where the creator shut down NBL and called out some Redditors and trackers he had beef with, but some didn't even know why. Seems like he would go on tantrums and easily ban people too.

Just poor ways to manage whatever issues he had. Don't know much more.

Is it worth upgrading my e reader?

Reply in thread

In hindsight, that's what I'd go for. You could have audiobookshelf, tachiyomi or any of your favorite android reading apps. But the Kindle does what it does well, and for relatively cheap. Maybe in 5 years I'll reconsider, if my kindle ever dies!

Yes, retention is very good on ANT and NBL. If it wasn't of the past drama of the site owner, they would be A tier trackers on everyone's lists IMHO.

It's a fun compilation, happy to contribute something to it. Happy to give more info if need be.

Learn the art of seedin' torrents and boostin' the pirate community's strength, aye?

Anyone else has cross-seed configured? I started the process, created the config.json and now I need to configure it. It would be useful to see how someone else set it up and why. I feel the provided explanations in the config file are just a notch too high than what my hobbyist mind can understand atm. Then there's direct client injection or autotorrent2 I still have to figure out.

For those curious, cross-seed allows you to take what you are seeding and find where else that torrent is and seed it there too, within a defined set of trackers. Perfect for sharin' ye booty, arr!
