> I'll have to try out a few of these torrent search tools and see how it works out, but most private trackers didn't want to just take cash and seemed to want you to jump through hoops instead, so unless I can buy accounts via other means I'll probably just stick to public.

I think most private trackers are trying to avoid developing a reputation like that of IPTorrents [1], which is notorious for allowing people to "donate" for accounts.

Most private trackers also explicitly forbid members from selling invites for money, and, more recently, giving them to strangers.

Yeah, looks like IPT and ultrahdclub might be worth a purchase though.

That is until they disable your account, and offer to enable it for another $30. Visit /r/trackers and there's probably a thread about IPT.
