Default Need a new private torrent site

Well, BitNation has banned me. I had five torrents going, but nobody was leeching so my ratio was total crap on those torrents. They didn't even give me the mandatory 72hrs to try to seed back as much as I could. So even though I've been a member over a year, my total ratio was over 2:1, and I even donated to their site, they still decided to ban me.

So my question to you folks is, does anyone have an invite to a decent private site? I can easily keep my ratio above 2:1 and I mainly look for TV shows and newer movies.

Well, I have no spare invites, sorry, I just got invited to "the holy grail of the torrent scene" by some Sex God.

They are total douches.
I actually invited cvr a while back to it. Its a medium sized moderately fast scene-like site. I've been there for over 1.5 years, having ratios ranging from 2.05 (now) to 3.
I liked it because up until recently people with a good overall ratio didn't get warned on not seeding 100% back, but now they warned me after 5 days. STupid fuckers.

I'm not yet banned, but very much dislike the site now, so I'm very grateful for anything else images/smilies/wink.gif
I got a 1.6 on what.cd and hdbits with almost 1 TB uploaded.

same with Torrent Syndicate, they don´t have seed limits there, so the Server guys overseed with like 1000% on a torrent and "normal" users can´t hold their ratios.

Yeah i am finding the life on a private site to be a tough unless you have a seed box or killer upload, especially difficult if your downloading HD stuff as I am. But it seems hdbit is ok as long as your close to .500.

I recently signed up at PeerHub. It doesn't have that much but what it does offer is rather quick.

I can never maintain a good ratio though. On public sites I reach 2:1 quickly but on private torrents I never go above 0.1 or something. It's weird.

I think it's because people don't download the torrent and you get well blamed for hit a runs..

If anyone has an invite hit me up images/smilies/smile.gif

I'll take a BitMeTV invite, thanks. Once I'm done with school in June then I'll probably start Netflix back up again, so I won't need any scene movie releases after that.

I never mentioned that I had uploaded around 250GB or so with Bitnation, still maintaining a 2.20 ratio. Hopefully BitMeTV will be much better, thanks Viper.
