1) They have fewer people accessing the site, so the mass appeal effect does not take place. The RIAA/CRIA want to shut down the sites with the most traffic.
2) It's much easier to control who has access to your site, and who has access to your trackers. If the site admins find out a specific user is from an organization, they can block the IP and user from accessing the site again.
3) It does not matter if your users are public or private, if you violate the terms of your agreement with your ISP, you can loose your hosting privilages. The reason most torrent sites stay up is because the ISP's don't care until a lobby group like the RIAA puts pressure on them. Until then, they are happy hosting a company that will pay them ass loads for traffic.
Yep.

Torrents, pfft. It's all about RS now. I'd just love to see CRIA start whining to the EU about it.

some private trackers require you to disable DHT. check your settings. you can disable it per file through the properties option.

Usually for private torrent sites (i've noticed) it's a case of properly configuring your port forwarding and triggering. You gotta mess around in your router settings. Hit me on MSN and i'll sort you out.. had a huge problem with not seeding on Oink, my ratio went to piss...
