I’m considering joining my first private tracker. It turns out that most of them need you to pass an interview connected through your home IP. I understand this is a reasonable way to filter scammers and duplicate accounts. Still, to those who did it, how do you feel knowing your main IP is stored and associated to your torrenting history?
I guess you can say I’m a very old pirate when people shared ftps and call them pubs and downloading from bots on mirc kazzaa and emule. I never heard about usenet until I started using lemmy and since then it’s all I hear about lol. I tried to understand it but it feels very complex and cost money
