@Hal @nik282000 Some private trackers function as recommendation systems, too. It's sort of like having a netflix account where you can see what they're recommending (or what's popular), but instead it's your fellow pirates talking about how much they loved or hated a show or movie.

You use them long enough, you also learn which users prefer absolute garbage and which ones have solid recommendations. Much better than paid ads or some easily-gamed algorithm, imo.
