Don't agree that the quality of this tracker dropped lately. There's so much to choose from, and popular torrents come in various versions for all ratios and bandwidths. Availability is rarely a problem as reseed requests are quickly completed (my experience, under 48h). I don't remember seeing bad torrents, there are some repacks but that's mostly a scene issue.
It takes some management to keep a good ratio. A 2 month VIP offer linked to a VPN purchase is a good start to build some buffer upload. But to be fair many new items come as freeleech, so waiting for those pays off.
I'm a fan of the cracked game updates section as the comments there are so helpful - there's a good technical community on TL and I'd be sad to see it go - you can get your content somewhere else, but rarely the same level of support.
A small problem is that the web only part seems to block access from a number of countries, if you hit that just use a browser VPN for the portal, as the BT data transfer part seems to work regardless.
