The new Wunza.ws is certainly a movie tracker to watch out for; forget everything you thought you ever knew about this Gazelle-based tracker. New staff, new coders, new IRC guru - Wunza packs some impressive features unseen elsewhere. Reopening as **Wunza
v2** merely two weeks ago after undergoing a complete overhaul of the design & features; signups are open - but only for a few more days.
UPDATE 1: Wunza will be a ratio-free tracker as of Feb. 1st 2010.
UPDATE 2: (01/25/2010) Registration will remain open until 6,500 members have been reached (just 400+ slots left)
Registration is currently open; but scheduled to end this Friday, January 15th. Signups are automatic, which means you won’t have to wait for a confirmation email - simply signup and proceed to login.

After that, it’s ‘invite only’ - although we’ve been informed there may be an online application form (similar to PTN) and/or an IRC #invite alternative.
Wunza Features:
Dual ‘Torrent Browse’ Views
One major improvement to Wunza is in the versatility of how torrents are displayed. By default, Wunza features an “IMDb view” of torrents listed on the site (see below) which can be switched back to “Classic” for those who prefer a standard browse page.
Diverse Content
While the number of torrents may appear a little low for now (at 366), more than 70 new torrents have been uploaded in the past 24 hours - mostly thanks to a cool new AutoUpload script created by staff. Essentially what this script does is download stuff from an FTP (for example, a scene FTP), and it will then make a .torrent file, upload it to the site, and inject (parse) IMDb info into the release (movie poster, director, plot summary, etc) and announce the new torrent in Wunza’s IRC - all of which is done automatically.
Scene & Retro — Wunza has at least two dedicated uploaders (and a third one coming in soon) with ’scene access’ so expect to find the latest releases. But in addition to the newest movies, Wunza is also inclined towards retro and hard-to-find films.
Formats & Uploading — All members are permitted to upload both scene & non-scene/P2P releases. Allowed formats include everything and anything (HD, XviD, BluRay, DVDR).
Freeleech — Everything on the tracker remains to be freeleech - with the notion that Wunza may evolve into a ratio-free tracker.
Other Features:
Voting — Incorporates a unique movie voting system (from 0.1 to 5.0 out of 5 stars).
NEW! ‘IRC Idle’ Points — Site points (bonus) can be earned from idling in Wunza’s IRC channel.
Bonus Points — Points can be earned for seeding, voting (1 point per vote) and uploading torrents (20 points each) which can be “shopped” in the online store or used to play games.

Our Commentary:
Wunza is quickly evolving into one of BitTorrent’s best-kept secrets. If Wunza can keep up the torrid pace for new torrents being added, they’ll be a movie tracker to compete with any other in no time at all. Nearly everything is hosted on a seedbox; staff is friendly; and an exclusive Browse page that we’re sure you’ll enjoy - all of which suggests a winning combination.
Hotfile Links Says:
This tracker has been up and down since it first opened. Hopefully their new staff will be able to maintain the place and keep it online for longer this time xD

mr.s33d Says:
Site looks good from the review, but the performance makes it a bit hard to register.
Any plans to keep registration open until the site gets more stable?
ddl0 Says:
AMIRA - good work
Devcoder Says:
At the moment we are struggling to get the site to run faster, but it ain’t a site issue, it’s a server issue from the hosting company’s side.
We have been promised that they will get this fixed within 24 hours and we hope and believe that they will keep this promise.
We are sorry that the server acted up like this just when FSF released a wonderful review, and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, therefor we will have Open signups for 1 more week. Which means, the signups will be open until 22 January

oh thats really nice of u guies……..
me Says:
site looks nice..
if/when you get either a better server, or resolution from your current provider you might just have something here.
Goofs Says:
You all remember how poorly PTP ran when it launched, and even continued to perform throughout last year right? When activity beefs up on Wunza & donations roll in they will be able to afford improved hardware. Until then I imagine they’ll do what any site would do, review code to see what can be scaled back to improve performance in the short term.
You’ve got thousands of users hammering now, in a few weeks when the article is forgotten it’ll be back to a trickle and performance issues won’t be an issue.
Amira Says:
Some good news, the site is much faster then before but we still working on it to get it faster and fast

Amira Says:
AS i wrote before, we still have problem with the mail thing so ive done all accounts that get regged will be automatic confirmed, so its just signup and then login
Bran Says:
how does a private, ratio-free tracker stay in business? Good faith? How do you keep seeders? Not criticizing, just curious.
Krunk Says:
Waited 3 minutes for the register page to load but it didn’t so i quit, lol
kush Says:
lots of movies and fast download times good tracker.
zfdzucker Says:
@Bran it works the same way for users who get seedboxes. If you have a seedbox you will have a large number for your ratio, everyone wants a large number, and have no worries about what they download.
fuckinslow Says:
good site for movies and movies and other movies, but fuck is it slow.
Amira Says:
