    couple things:

    • generally the rules prevent torrents from becoming incomplete
    • usually theres a request system, which can be very useful for old or obscure stuff.
    • usually much faster for all but the most popular stuff
    • way more timely and consistent. Less problems where it takes a few days after a release for it to show up or for a series to stop being uploaded half way through a season.
    • less chance of honeypots or other malicious behaviour (you should still use a VPN though obviously)
    • more consistent quality and naming enforcement (which means it usually works better with *arr)

    I can’t vouch for this particular tracker but in general (free) private trackers are very nice.
