  It's as easy as buying 1 month of seedbox for around 10 bucks.

        Yep it's not easy. Easy was a lie. The best are actually curated public trackers. TPB is not curated.

        Sadly, curated public ones are also harder and harder to find (for obvious reasons) :(

        > It's probably easier to lurk in r/trackerinvites (or whatever it's called) hoping to snatch an invite I think it's much easier to pay 12 bucks for a month of seedbox that includes an invite to TL, than to hit F5 on /r/OpenSignups for months/years until they open registration.

        Go to TL, hit the big button in the center that says "sign up promo".
