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?

Is there an eli5 to start using it?

Eweka.nl as usenet subscription. Sabnzbd as usenet downloader (this is where you add the nzb files)

Some forum for Usenet files to download. If you want some, dm me.

That's basically all you need

This. Torrenting is fine, but I'm more than happy to pay a small fee for faster speeds and an encrypted connection.

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
