    Private only and check the awesome top 10 lists once a week for what’s new. I actually went looking for a public torrent site last week and I couldn’t find one.

      I can’t figure out port-forwarding which I assume is affecting my ratio. So I don’t even try to get invited to private trackers

        You shouldn’t really have to. It’s all done by the application unless you sit behind a firewall or your systems firewall is on and super secure. Normally I never have to do anything for the port ranges it has setup to communicate with other peers. Port forwarding would be if I want to access the application outside my network, but I have no need for that. Plus it sounds more of a risk than it’s worth.
