Longtime fans of the Desi tracker
scene already know that DesiTorrents.com’s
distinguished reputation speaks for itself. Online for more than six
years and still going strong, DT is undeniably the leading pioneer
of the Desi scene; the original Desi tracker. Like many great
trackers, registration to DT is never open publicly free-of-charge -
well at least it wasn’t, until now. DT & FSF have teamed up to offer
500 “free signups” to our readers, strictly on a first-come,
first-served basis.
**Offer is now closed.
** In less than 18 hours, all 500 free signups have now been filled. FSF & DT extend a warm welcome to all new members!
DesiTorrents has been kind enough to offer FileShareFreak readers an opportunity to register (no strings attached!) through a special signup link. Folks, this is a great opportunity to join the Internet’s best Desi tracker without having to dole out 10€, or otherwise seek out an invitation through ‘recruitment’. In a trendsetting fashion that DT is known for, this one-of-a-kind offer has never been done before nor will there ever be a better way to get into DesiTorrents than this!
DesiTorrents Signup Link
*Important NOTES about the link below (read all 5 Tips first)
:*
- 1. When you click on the link, you’ll be directed to the registration page. So sign up!
- 2. After you have registered, you’ll be auto-redirected to a form page called “FileShareFreak Free Registration”.
- 3. Once you hit the submit button in that form, your account will be activated FREE of charge.
http://www.desitorrents.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=781854
4. You absolutely have to use the link above as it’s posted in this exact article, and it needs to be accessed from within FSF. The free referral will not work if you’ve found this link on another site - it is exclusive to FSF. Do not change the “referrerid” or the name field in the URL above, or else the ‘free signup’ will not be enabled. Lastly, it also may not work if you’re accessing FSF through a CGI/web proxy.
There are a few things you should keep an eye out for on the registration page. You need to fill in all required fields (I’ll mention below which they are).
- - Username (No Special Chars allowed!!)
- - Password + Confirm Password
- - Email + Confirm Email (Gmail is recommended, but not necessarily required)
- - Image Verification (Captcha)
- - NoSpam Question (It’s a question to make sure it’s not a bot, so it’s important its filled in, and that the answer is correct.. you can Google the question if you don’t know the answer to it.. and make sure that you don’t make a typo).
- - Date of Birth (needs to be filled in…or else adult section etc etc won’t work).
5. It is highly recommended that you disable “Adblock Plus” and “NoScript” if using Firefox. (Don’t worry, there are no intrusive ads or popups - but it’s possible these add-ons may block the redirect). To do this, see images below:
Last but not least, let’s get you familiar with DesiTorrents…
External DesiTorrents Review:
An extensive, in-depth look into DT can be found on TPS (here), ETIV (here) or FST (here). Instead of rehashing over much of the same content found on that excellent review done by palnati in that link (which we highly recommend you peruse), we’ll approach DesiTorrents a little differently.
Stats:
- • Online Since — January 27th, 2004.

Site / Tracker Usability:
DesiTorrents uses a forum-style code (vBulletin), which consists of a unique “lite” theme/skin which is anything but ‘light’ on features. Unlike traditional forums that display a lengthy list of all forums and sub-forums on the main index page, DT makes it easy for users to find what they’re looking for, by incorporating “tabs” which serve as main forum headings. In fact, the DT website is divided into two distinct sections (Regular Discussion Forums & the Forums for Torrents) - whereby each contains their own set of browsable tabs (and sub-forums) for easy navigation.
Note about DT’s index.php page: In order to view the main sections (see above) you’ll need to disable “Adblock Plus” (at least) and likely “NoScript” since DesiTorrents uses Ajax for the tabs. Otherwise, it’s extremely difficult to browse certain areas of the site.
Maintaining Good ‘Ratio’ / Freeleech
All DT members are required to keep a global ’share ratio’ of at least 1:1. Fortunately, DesiTorrents always has a steady stream of fresh leechers (current S/L ratio is a very low 5.74, or 574%) thus seeding is easy!
Freeleech — If that’s not enough, DT offers freeleech (ratioFREE) sections on the tracker - all movies/adult sections that are Hi-Def are free, as well as music videos. Total freeleech torrents found = 536. As well, once the donation target is met for each month, the remainder of the month is freeleech for everything on the tracker.
Best time to seed? — Try between 2AM - 8AM, GMT +5/5:30. This is when India’s largest ISP - BSNL - offers unlimited downloads on the majority of their Internet plans.
Torrent Search:
As with most forums, there
are tools to search the forums/sub-forums - but when it comes to
torrents, DT also includes a handy torrent search feature that is
superior to typical forum searching. Members can click the Torrents
> Show All Torrents link (see right) - essentially what this does
is present a variety of options for filtering the search. But what
really makes DT’s search great, is that multiple sub-forums can be
included in the same query simply by placing a checkmark in various
categories & sub-cats.
This can be taken a step further by including the name/group of the “rippers” in the search query; great for filtering results to show your favourite ripper(s) throughout the chosen sub-forums. Other filtering methods are available; such as for size, date and “sort by” (seeds/leechers/user, etc).
Releasers / Rippers / Ripper Groups:
Home to dozens of internal encoders (referred to as “rippers”), DesiTorrents is famous for its continuous stream of daily torrents for movies, TV, music & other digitized media. Like most desi trackers, movies are a popular mainstay of the torrent economy and make up for an impressive 9,427 torrents on DT (which is 78% of all torrents on site).
Typically, “releasers” are the members who are uploading torrents to DesiTorrents. In some cases, releasers are also rippers - but often they may be part of the ‘group’ who are supplying the bandwidth or seedbox for initial seeding, and posting new torrent threads.
DT currently lists 12 different ripper groups, with each group comprising of an untold number of individual rippers & releasers. Some rippers specialize in a particular release type (pre-releases, encodes, DVDRips, music) while others are known for their regional releases. DT members that have something to offer - such as sources for DVDs/music/TV ‘cappers’; excellent ripping skills; or even seedbox access - are encouraged to contact a group/team.
Regional Sections:
One of the real treasures found on DT is in the regional sections, this is where it pulls away from other general desi trackers. Both films & audio can be found in all major desi languages & regions. For example, below is the torrent count for regional movie categories:
- • Bollywood — Known as the ‘Hindi Cinema’ film industry based in Mumbai; unquestionably the most popular regional type of release. DT indexes 6,551 movie torrents throughout their Bollywood category.
- • Telugu — (1,349 movies)
- • Malayalam — (422)
- • Tamil — (242)
- • Marathi — (155)
- • Punjabi — (131)
- • Kannada — (130)
- • Bengali — (80)
- • Lollywood — (50)
- • Gujarati — (24)
Movie/Film Formats - Types of Releases:
DT offers a multitude of film types & formats; and often a popular movie will be released in a variety of different formats in relation to type of encode, transcode, container, source, and other factors. Looking into DesiTorrents’ Bollywood section, one will find 10 different sub-categories (current torrent count for each is listed in parentheses).
DVD-Rip Releases (4,551) — By far the most popular movie section in Bollywood. This needs little explanation; these are XviD/x264 rips from original DVD5/9’s, and BDRip/BRRip releases are also allowed.
Pre-Releases (1,028) — The second-most popular section; Pre-releases are highly sought out - and aside from CAMs, these are the first available sources for good video/audio quality found in a release. All other containers, rip formats & sources that originate from a ‘pre-release’ are included here (pDVDRip, pDVDR, CCE from pDVD, XviD, x264, CAMs, etc).
Encoded DVD5 (379) — Encoded versions of retail DVD9’s using M/CCE, MHCE or HC_Enc - in laymen’s terms, this is a DVD9 that have been shrunken down to the size of a DVD5, without a loss in video/audio quality. Certain DVD ‘extras’ will often be stripped out to keep the size down. These releases are usually found in VOB container (VIDEO_TS) and are thus ready-to-burn to a 4.38GB DVD5 disc.
Untouched DVDs (272) — Includes both DVD5/DVD9 untouched DVDRs, mostly in original DVD file structure (VIDEO_TS / VOB container). These are considered “retail”.
Upscaled Releases (193) — These are upscaled from a DVD9 source, and are normally using the x264 codec and MKV container in 720p resolution.
xVCD Releases (115) — These are VCD releases (SVCD, VCD, CVD, MVCD & KVCD) of original movies, mostly older films. Generally these are in AVSEQ01.DAT format and are often taken from a VHSRip source.
DVD Extras (10) — These are somewhat rare; includes DVD bonus discs, deleted scenes and even music.
Encoded DVD9 (9) — Similar to Encoded DVD5, these are usually the same size as the source DVD9 but are encoded to add subtitles or remaster the release. In rare cases the ’source’ may even include a Blu-Ray, shrunken to fit onto a DVD9.
Transcoded DVD5 (6) — These releases can be DVD9 > DVD5 transcodes (with VOB files/untouched). Not a popular format; users will opt for encoded or untouched DVD5/DVD9 instead.
CAM Releases (0) — This section is now closed; all CAMs can be found in Pre-release.
For a more detailed look at the desi P2P scene & release types, refer to ”The Desi-Bollywood P2P Scene - BitTorrent’s Other Side”.
DesiTorrents - Extras:
Not exclusively about movies, DT also has 16 different torrent sub-forums for music (which includes 3,600+ torrents, including 1,000+ OSTs); 6 sub-forums for TV shows; 7 for adult/xxx releases; and various “misc” categories which include sports, comics, documentaries, kids, ebooks & mags.
Torrents aside, DT has a thriving community in the Chai Time & General forum areas, which includes topics for chatting about everything & anything. Other site features include online Poker (yes - members play for real money, not credits), a desi radio program exclusive to DT, a special DT Toolbar (to enhance searching), as well as other features unseen elsewhere.
Security:
DesiTorrents is the only desi tracker that supports anonymous releases. This means that DT members are able to post anonymously so their identity is secure. Privacy on the site is paramount; and security to their releasers (uploaders) is DT’s main focus.
DT is also the only desi tracker where members can force HTTPS (SSL) on the site.
…Final Thoughts
With Bollywood finally receiving long-overdue accolades at an international level, the desi movie industry has proven itself to become a major player. For film buffs, adding a good desi tracker to your list of movie trackers will not only broaden your film collection (and open your eyes to a new world of great films), but there’s also a fairly decent selection of localized ’scene releases’ that don’t make it onto most typical trackers. In terms of content & community, DT is hard to beat.
DesiTorrents is not only pleasant to look at, but it’ll change your opinion about trackers that use a forum for the codebase - it all comes together nicely at DT. Simply put, DT is the net’s best all-around desi tracker - it’s one account that I won’t part with anytime soon.

Yes! Finally a place for me to get my Ghey Indian porn. I’m tired of always whacking-off to Slumdog Millionaire. Thanks, Sharky.

For people trying to signup, make sure your username has NO special characters.
sharky Says:
It appears that a tiny percentage of readers are having a difficult time being able to signup. We’re looking into this, but the vast majority shouldn’t have any issues (45+ readers have already successfully signed up through the link above).
arkan Says:
Sharky the people who are having problems might be trying to signup using special characters in their names. Special Chars are disabled on DT
Xaero Says:
It doesn’t go to the page where you can fill the username. One you check the accept terms and click Register, you get the error.
Thank you Says:
Thx ARKAN and Sharky

tazz32rulez Says:
Follow the signup instructions and you’ll have no problem registering…
the system doesnt have a bug, it works just fine.
Adam Says:
Guys make sure to use the link provided on this page with the referrer ID in-tacked. If you remove or edit the referrer ID the free account redirect and so on will NOT work. Also on the registration page you will see a referrer field DO NOT EDIT this. If you do again you will lose the free access account and redirect. So basically the only way you can have issues is if you try to be sneaky or change things. Tons have had no issues at all myself included so stop saying it doesn’t work and use brain for half a second when registering. Obviously can’t use special characters in usernames most sites don’t allow. So anyways I am off to enjoy the free account thanks again filesharefreak and DT for putting this together. I will spread the news.
sharky Says:

…then hit register.
If you do all that..then there should be no reason why it shouldn’t work.

arpit Says:
guys it is working fine !
i dont face any problem while registering !
thanks !
Adam Says:
To those having problems, I had them too (I used Opera) but then I switched to IE and it worked.
Try using a different browser.
And as for that “Preview Mode” message, JUST IGNORE IT. Look at the registration form, fill it up, go to the next page, and then the special FSF fields, and then it will override that “Preview Mode” thing.
lol Says:
LOL signed up and wholy shit can i delete my account now?

Also , don’t go around saying BWT rox DT sox , both are worth having .
Maybe Says:
Hey sharky get some invites for GFT ???
ROFL @ Haters Says:
@18
ROFL you know the DT admins and you know that they are looking for more money unlike other BT websites, right? wow, I mean WOW.
Please be kind enough to crawl back in your shell, so you don’t spout any crap. No one is forcing you to join, let the people decide if they want to join or not.
@25
oh my, half the sentence in caps. Is that perhaps an underlying frustration that you got banned from DT? ^_^ (just teasing). On a more serious note, I guess everyone has their own preference. But thank you for suggesting the other sites, I will look into them as well.
@29
just PM the admins, they will be happy to delete your account.
@33
isn’t everyone? wow, talk about the obvious.
BWT is way more active than DT? Oh, you must mean the spamming, yeah I agree “BWT is more active” ^_^
@41
while i was replying I was lucky enough to get into dct but there is nothing special about that site. I mean they do have more tv content (which i do not view any ways) but other than that I think DT is a better overall site.

ANS TO RETARDED PEOPLE Says:
First of all thanks to all those members of DT and fsf for this goldern oppurtunity, i am a founder member of DT. and i love the site
I have read many comment from retarded people, if u dont like this site then dont make an account, no one has forced you to join this site.
After making account if u think it is not a good tracker, leave your account idel for few days and it will be auto pruned.
we have good friend and good release gorups, we are fully satisfied with them and so we are not hungry for new members.
Secondly we are not after money, but we need money to run the site, if u think we are bad guys then make your own desi tracker and give free invites to every one.
Those people who dont do anything in life, speak bad about others, if u cannot speak good be quite but dont speak bad.
great33 Says:
ok that fine but if we were one of those 500 and its telling us to subscribe, how do we not
singghg Says:
Hello Sharky! nice thing done by FSF. I check this site + Filenetworks on a regular basis for such exclusive signups. But I rue the fact that I was not able to visit in the past week due to my mother’s operation. And look what has happened to me…I am really desperate for this awesome tracker. I know many here would have the privilege to get me a full functional account there. Its a request. I really regret missing this opportunity.
So if anyone of u here (including Sharky & founder member) feel kind for me, please send me an invite/exclusive register link to this mail id : singghg@gmail.com
I will be always grateful. Thanks.
Chor Says:
If you can please send an invitaion for Desitorrent or any other to patel213@yahoo.com
Thanks
ANS TO RETARDED PEOPLE Says:
@great33
its your bad luck that u did not get into this tracker, but that means u need to donate now, i know money is the main problem for all and no one likes to have half activated account.
but i cannot help u with this
@chor, singghg
Frankly speaking i have 2 invites but i cannot give them in such a fashion, i invite trustworthy and some experienced people, i know u had high hopes on me, but forgive me for this.
I just posted over here because people say whatever they want, as every one is anonymous over here.
wont be posting again sorry for those who did not get invite. but i think u should never post your mail id in public, this shows your ignorance, u can be spammed and more over u may put your self and your account at risk.
thanks
regards
tom Says:
If any one need invites for ICTorrent.com i got plenty lol.
singghg Says:
@ANS TO RETARDED PEOPLE
Yeah I am very well aware of the risks associated with posting ones mail id at public forums but as I said earlier…I am really desperate. So…
Regarding trustworthiness & experience, I will like to emphasize on these below:
1. I don’t have a negative ratio on 2 desi trackers & many foreign trackers.
2. If I like someone’s rip, I appreciate it i.e. say 5 groups have released 1 particular rip, I take the 1 which I like most & appreciate it, but I don’t go to other ripper’s thread & criticize their work. Its as simple as that.
I am neither a very advanced user nor a noob. That is where I stand. I know DT is a really good tracker out there.
From there onwards I can show you some trustworthiness.
Thanks & hoping for some positive response.
singghg Says:
Thanks very much to someone.
BOB Says:
Thanks fsf, but the site is most suited for the sub continent, bollywood catching up to the major movie players,dont think so, i am going to ask admins to delete my account because for me personally there is nothing there, so i will stick with my “l33t” trackers, so i dont want to waste desi’s generosity, thanks anyway guys…
but i would like desi to show some generosity (if already not done so) to singghg whom is desperate to get in, to donate my account for him to sign up since i have no invites…
thanks..
