After The Pirate Bay and other famous public sites went down, there has been a proliferation of private trackers. These private trackers have high quality stuff. To get an invite, some of the trackers need references and also do personal interviews etc.

> After The Pirate Bay and other famous public sites went down, there has been a proliferation of private trackers. These private trackers have high quality stuff. To get an invite, some of the trackers need references and also do personal interviews etc. Or alternatively pay, ideally in Bitcoin... after nearly 2 decades of watching Japanese Kickboxing/MMA etc... I found a spot that delivers most of those events (plus way more than I care to watch) and its everything I ever wanted out of a service and gladly renew every year--though I'm incentivized to seed as long as possible in order to decrease membership costs, but I'm usually the last to DL so my ratio suffers since it's pretty niche. It's like these promotions don't want our money, and go out of their way to make it difficult for non-Japanese platforms tpo show them legally in other markets, so instead we pay a team to curate the recording in various formats (720/1080) and upload it next day or two. When I was younger half the fun was staying up late, chatting with people from all corners of the World on forums PBP and reacting to a knockout or decision and seeing the sun come up with fights still on the card left and deciding if I can make it to school/work etc... but sadly those days are over and my version of convenience(s) comes from watching something at my leisure at sane hours days/weeks/months later in order to not mess up my sleep cycle these days (I pay a lot more for that by comparison). To quote one of these die-hards on the forums: > If I'm the only dude in the PBP on NYE I'm going to have a meltdown. Should be an interesting read when it happens, anyway.
