I'm pretty new to the scene and am trying to build up a content library for a jellyfin instance I'm running. I know a lot of the higher quality torrents are on private trackers so im intested in joining one but the ones ive found seem pretty closed. Even the ones with open sign-ups seen to want proof of my reputation with other traskers, so I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to start out. Are there any trackers I should look into?

Not to highjack the thread but is it required not to use a VPN to join private trackers? I'm in a similar situation as OP and want to up my speeds, but I'm worried about privacy

It depends on your risk profile. On a private tracker it is much less likely that copyright trolls sit in the leech and log the ip of every peer, which is the main reason to use a vpn on public trackers. But it still increases your anonymity if you torrent over VPN.

And If your isp doesn't allow port forwarding you could become connectable by using a VPN provider that provides that feature
