Only if you're sure the private tracker has a decent entry system. Most of the so called private trackers let anyone join so they're as safe as a public torrent site.

North.
---------- Post added at 21:35 ---------- Previous post was at 21:16 ----------
To be honest it does not bother me that much as i aint downloading as much as i used to (me contract is up in a month) cause its a software based throttle i reckon there's gonna be ways round it. I know it sucks weekend losing 12 hours sat and 12 sunday, and 7 every weekday. But seeing as i only download off peak anyways i aint that bothered. According to vm 100mb is comming to lincoln before month end! Think vm 50mb is still better than the bt infinity tho...

If your guess WAS correct then you have answered your own question.
It's probably the same reason hit men don't advertise in the Yellow Pages.
