Back in November we erroneously reported that the new Blu-Ray rips (BRRip and BDRip) are in Hi-Def (HD). In fact, these are in 720×400 (or similar resolution), which indeed qualifies them as superior to those regular 700 MB XviD codec releases - albeit they are not HD. Finally, however; there is a P2P release group that has become the first to produce XviD (*.avi) BRRips in true 720p HD @ 1280×720 resolution - beautiful picture quality and AC3 6-channel audio that will play back on any DivX/XviD compatible standalone home DVD player.
Ever wanted to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit the beloved music tracker OiNK.cd? We can’t exactly do that, but if you have an account at What.cd you can do the second-best thing — and that’s customize What.cd with a few tweaks to get it (mostly) displaying torrents just like how the old OiNK did. Just follow these three easy steps, and you’ll be OiNKing in no time!
One thing that’s always been missing from the torrent world is a public tracker that focuses strictly on music, and nothing else. Welcome to Coda.fm, the world’s first public music-only torrent indexer! While there’s plenty of music to be found on Mininova & The Pirate Bay, Coda.fm offers a refreshing approach to how music torrents should be displayed; there’s music genre categories, album art, metadata, track listings, album reviews and even artist information. While Coda.fm won’t replace your What.cd or Waffles account, we can assure this will become a hit among public torrenters.
If µTorrent is bogging down your high-speed Internet connection - whereby web browsing becomes extremely slow or either stops altogether - symptoms point towards an unpatched TCP/IP half-open limit. Most patchers directly modify the TCPIP.SYS file, which usually results in undesirable MS security issues and/or false positives from antivirus software. TCP-Z is different, as it alters the TCP/IP limit in memory, for a safe & fast solution under any Windows OS environment (including x64 Vista and the new Windows 7). Release the power of your network; download faster, and run more Internet tasks simultaneously - all without the side-effects of other patchers.
Tirelessly, the MPAA continues to target torrenters who are sharing their films. Realistically, we can’t blame them for wanting to protect the digital rights of their precious copyrighted content. But the bigger issue stems from the direct "leaks" from Academy members, some of whom are more than happy to provide release groups with inside movies that just shouldn’t exist (yet) at the P2P level. There are more DVDSCRs than ever before; and Russian R5s, CAMs & Telesyncs have taken a backseat to high quality, Academy "only" DVD and VHS screeners that are being released (leaked) well before scheduled theatrical dates. Below is a list of films that are available on P2P; most of which can’t be found in theatres.

With 2008 winding down, what better way to ring in the new year than with a list of the 100 most popular private trackers of the past 12 months. To make this more appealing (and less like some stodgy, boring list of trackers) we broke this down into categories, each with their own "Top" lists and some history behind each tracker and rank. Arrows ( ) shown next to Alexa Rank indicate the latest trends in traffic.

Romania - a real hotbed for tracker activity - has yet again found itself on uncertain ground in amongst the private tracker community. This was recently rekindled a few days ago when Waffles.fm officially announced that Romania is "largely a cesspool of spam" and is thus now globally banned from the tracker. This includes all existing members, as well as potential future invitees. Today, ScT also announced plans to rid Romanian users from its tracker.
