: Unlike "ratio-less" trackers, you must actively upload data to balance what you download.
| Reason | Explanation | |--------|-------------| | | HDBits releases internal encodes (HDBits internal groups) that are watermarked. Public leaks can be traced to the user. | | Elite community | Only 15,000–20,000 user slots exist total. No inactive users are kept. | | Anti-selling | Closing registration/invites kills the invite market. | | Quality control | Every new user is a potential risk. Staff hand-pick recruits from known good users on other trackers. | hdbits register
