I’m making an ongoing series of posts where we discuss something as a community, then I add it to the mega-thread for future reference. This has been an reoccurring question so figured I’d cover it next.
Where do you guys go for news and updates regarding open signups?
The two places I’m aware of:
Opentrackers.org - Updates have seemed a little lacking lately with many open signups being posted with a long delay or not at all.
OpenSignup Telegram Channel - Much more up to date but with the downside that sometime it gets flooded with junk/ads/spam.
What’s the benefit of private trackers?
Do they really have more content and better speeds?
I’ve seen claims of better privacy but just over the last month iirc there were a few in trouble.

Been torrenting on IPT & TL for a couple of years now without vpn, no letters. I did get 1 when I tried torrenting off of fully public trackers though.
Bad news: The OpenSignup Telegram channel hasn’t been updated since October 2023
it’s been a while since you posted this, but are there any alternatives you recommend for checking out open signups?
https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenedSignups/ is currently more active than opentrackers.org
Edit: Also check out https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/trackers
Let’s try to get an open signups /c going in lemmyspace!
thank you!
