Edit: pretty sure the site I asked about is a scammer so I removed it so nobody goes there. I had completely misspelled the tracker name when contacting them and they didn't correct me.

Just as a heads-up: expect some pushback just for asking.

In general buying accounts is frowned upon on all private trackers I'm aware of, including the rule to ban bought accounts on sight.

Several private trackers give out VIP status for people buying seed boxes through them though I guess there are some where you'd get an account in the first place through this.

It all depends on your goals. Personally I wouldn't trust account sellers. I don't see a way for them to get accounts without it being quite easily identifyable for the respective pages.

Personally I went the "hard" route but never tried to push into the cabal tier private trackers.

Just remember to not screw your account within the first hours by not taking care of your ratio and the trackers rules.

I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.

It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I'm there they'll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.

I have opensignup from Reddit in my RSS feed and recently Torrentleech was open. Maybe have a look if it still is, very good general tracker and easy economy.

Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I'm trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there's not many
