Why I Still Use a Public Anime Tracker While private anime trackers offer numerous advantages—such as high-quality releases, faster download speeds, and a curated selection of rare content—they also come with certain limitations. These include strict ratio requirements Public trackers, like Nyaa, provide a more flexible and accessible platform. They often have a broader range of content, including fan-subbed releases I can download what I want without worrying about maintaining a ratio or staying online to seed for hours The only real downside is that I need to use a VPN when downloading, just to stay safe.
