12 New Seedbox Providers - but how many are deemed trustworthy? We don’t know. In our latest seedbox roundup we’ve uncovered at least a dozen that might just be worthy of your seedbox dollars; and even a few more that you’ll likely want to avoid. Already got a great seedbox? Then why even bother to look at this list. Bad humor aside, there are some notable new startups that may make you turn your head.
To continue on with the list of new trackers for August (part deux), here are a few others that made an entry. For the most part there’s no rhyme or reason to these; it’s a bit of a mixed bag of new sites that were simply not included in the last list. As promised we’ve included tracker updates from our July Edition; some have failed miserably while others have prospered. Enjoy the read!
Being that there are just too many new trackers to report about in this August 2010 Edition, we’ve been forced to break it down into two separate articles. Here we present 12 new sites; most of which are considered general and/or content-specific trackers. Ratings for these are more than fair, although we’ve yet to cover some of the newer niche sites that have recently launched. We’ll dig deeper into this in Part II, and we’ll include a bonus: realtime updated stats from trackers which were included in the previous July Edition.
Wondering where StC went? All signs suggest that SaveTheCoratee, a once semi-popular ratioless Mac tracker is dead and not coming back. StC now holds company with the defunct VortexNetwork which went offline earlier this year, leaving the BT world with just one true Mac tracker. Inside information suggests that the Mac OS torrent community is now relying on the true backbone of the scene, and that’s Brokenstones - or is there a new alternative? Perhaps there’s a spinoff tracker for StC refugees after all…
Community is everything. It took just two What.CD members to come forward and post their vision: a desire to create a new niche tracker. Supportive response was overwhelming to say the least; less than a week later a mere concept had spiraled into a full-blown reality and Deli.sh was born. BitTorrent’s first (and only) food tracker has launched with vigor - we’ve got the details on this exciting new site.
We’ve written plenty of posts on warez forums and release blogs here at FSF, but one aspect to direct download links we’ve neglected to touch deeper on is the ever-growing world of warez networks. Also simply known as "DDL-indexing" sites (think: Katz.cd), by their own right these are indeed full-fledged networks with complex inner workings. Well, perhaps not the majority of them. In this article we’ll do our best-effort to explain the internal nature of the warez network scene, the competitiveness within it, and which sites are the best - and why.
Big news from the filesharing subculture of torrent invite forums, Tracker-Invites.us has formed an alliance with TrackeReactor.com. Due to the competitive nature and internal rivalry between most torrent forums, rarely would an event such as this occur. This breathes some fresh life into TR - one of the Net’s longest-running torrent boards. FSF spoke to staff at TrackeReactor to get the inside scoop on the unfolding events.
If memory serves correct, it’s been ages since TorrentInvite.com publicly announced an open registration to acquire new members for an extended period of time. Quite possibly when it did occur last was through a special FSF promotional article way back in June 2009. For those who caught that old post, a lot has changed over at T.I. since then. We’re talking about some amazing unique upgrades & new enhancements which can’t be found on any other board - details which we’ll get to. FSF has been informed that aspiring members can currently join TorrentInvite directly, but it won’t last long.
Who says piracy doesn’t pay? Try telling that to professional uploaders on warez forums and release blogs who are now boycotting RapidShare en masse. In the aftermath of the TF article which earlier confirmed RS has terminated their entire Rewards program, it is no longer advantageous to upload files to RS. Realistically the decision will indeed have a negative impact on RapidShare’s own revenue take for new subscriptions, not to mention dissuade uploaders from using the service at all. A reader recently posted this on RlsLog.net:
"Let’s teach the greedy losers at Rapidshare an important lesson! No one use Rapidshare or post rapidshare links! Let’s give our hard earned money to any other downloader, even if same cost as rapidshare. They need to be forced out of business for their most recent despicable stunt!" - Source here.
These monthly editions of ‘new tracker’ articles take a considerable amount of effort to write, let alone research. Not that FSF has a problem with that. From a writing perspective it’s generally more enjoyable to expose new trackers that are movers & shakers; sites that are going places. Naturally not all months are the same - June 2010 is mostly a forgettable month. Having said that, we’re pleased to report a handful of new BT startups that are golden - and well, we slam the rest.
