Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet VS UNIT3D-Community-Edition

check out this list of private trackers and /r/trackers as well if you're unsure where to start, but i'd be happy to answer any questions you have (unless they're brazil-specific, because i'm not from brazil)

Hey, so i'm on torrentleech and able to find pretty much anything i can imagine. https://hdvinnie.github.io/Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet/ has a list of private trackers, and referencing that, TL has almost twice as many torrents as PTP and BTN combined. So what is it that's so much better about PTP and BTN? I always hear people say that they have better/harder to find/higher quality content, but if that's the case, what are the hundreds of thousands of torrents that TL has that PTP and BTN are missing? It just doesn't make sense that their content could be more extensive than a tracker with objectively so many more torrents that's still filtered and high quality (not just a random DHT scraper assortment of torrents).

There's spreadsheet link in the sidebar shows a massive list of trackers with their codebase. As for AvistaZ, it's custom.

Theres also Torrentleech, AlphaRatio (harder to join than it used to be) and many more, see https://hdvinnie.github.io/Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet/ or https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYZ2107xOZwQ37AjLTc5A4dUJl0ilg8oMrZyA0BGvc0/edit#gid=1357476050 though they haven't been updated for a while.

If you do want to keep a collection, and you are passionate about media then you should be running the *arrs (automated content retrieval, and organisation), private trackers (content sources), jellyfin (media player), and jellyseerr (media discovery layer).

Oh, cool, thanks for the info! Nice that it's open source.

You should report this to the UNIT3D creator, /u/-HDVinnie-, via Github would be a good thing to do : https://github.com/HDInnovations/UNIT3D-Community-Edition

I don't think anything exactly like you want exists. The closest I can think of are private Bittorrent trackers. A popular open source implementation would be e.g. UNIT3D.

I did not want to attribute to malice what could just be ignorance or ineptitude. The only justifiable situation I can think of for limiting the characters is when working with legacy code. ReelFlix is based on the UNIT3D codebase which is regularly maintained. Your comment made me curious so I decided to dig into its code. It appears here that it offers two hashing algorithms for passwords: bcrypt and Argon2. So there's no real need of a character limit, and I wonder why they implemented it.
