Hi I just joined my first private tracker (torrentleech). I found something in the wish list which I have. I'd like to seed it to start out on a good foot. Are there any good guides on that? I've tried in the past and utterly failed, I'm hoping it's easier to start a seed on a private tracker?

If you want more advance, Then get content freelech first on torrentleech IRC channel, as new releases are announced there before they appear on the site. Using autobrr is best for that https://github.com/autobrr/autobrr

Here is torrenteech guide to download freeleech using autobrr https://wiki.torrentleech.org/doku.php/autobrr

Be aware that many users have seedboxes on torrentleech, so you will be competing with them. Without a seedbox, you will have a hard time uploading (seeding). This should not be problem if you permaseed your torrents, as you will earn points that can be exchanged for upload credit.

Thanks for the advice. Quick question. How bad is it to run autobrr without a VPN? I ask because my seedbox doesn't have docker and it would be a lot easier to run this on another server that does and just send the stuff over to my seedbox from there.
