Hey,
my first post here, I hope it goes well.

I recently learned about invite-only private trackers. When I found one site which won't allow me to register without an invite, I ended here after some search and registered with a clear aim: to get that invite.

To make that journey as smooth as possible I'd like to understand a few things, because I'm new to this whole thing. I keep seeing proofs mentioned a lot while browsing. I even found this nice guide: http://torrentinvites.org/f29/improv...x-proof-61164/

However, I wonder when are which kinds of proofs usually requested. And if someone requests a proof, what does he/she usually look for in it?
Is it possible to get rejected in a invite giveaway because "Your upload (or download) is way too slow"?

Please, make no mistake: I am willing to share a proof when asked and I am not implying that proofs are stupid in any way. (My past forum experiences taught me to explicitly state such things - you'd be amazed what some people can conclude from simple questions.)
