Got banned from torrent leech after uninstalling theyr broken cracked softwares that i couldnt manage to run properly, dropping my ratio above 0.4… that’s a shame, my qbittorrent ratio is 5 and i quite seed anything untill i need more space on the drives. Any (free of course) alternatives ?

    Interesting, I’ve had an account with IPT for almost 12 years now and I’ve had no problems at all. What makes you say it’s sketchy?

      • Owner and staff known to be questionable assholes
      • They did questionable stuff to try and make it to the top like astroturfing with fake accounts and stealing peers from other trackers
      • They were one of first to start charging for signups
      • The fact they state that they delete accounts and your only option is to make a new one
      • Around the time they started charging a lot of people like myself found our accounts mysteriously gone and them wanting us to pay to get on the site again (I remember being pissed and going to reddit to complain and reading similar stories there)
      • Basically the site is really scummy and did whatever they had to do to become big so that they could make money and grift the community and is not inline with the principals most other private tracker communities promote.
      • IPT Browser…
      • They had a $5/ticket raffle that it’s believed the winners were fake IPT accounts

      Honestly, I could probably keep this up all day if I kept thinking about it but imma stop here.
