Dup3.me - A PreDB With Extended Scene Release Info

January 22, 10 by sharky   4,758  views  

By now, just about everyone has heard about PreDB websites. In a nutshell, a PreDB is simply a giant indexer of scene releases (not the actual files, just the release titles & other information about each rls). PreDB sources may vary, although many are comprised from an aggregated listing of releases found on various topsites and nukenets (high scene stuff, not from public/private IRC #pre channels). Like anything else, PreDB sites come in different flavors of thoroughness & usability. Introducing Dup3.me - v4.0 launched yesterday - by far the most complete pre database on the ‘Net. Scene freaks, you’ll like this!

Free GPS Maps & Software For TomTom, iGO, Garmin

February 12, 09 by sharky   98,241  views  

If you own a TomTom, Garmin or Navigon we don’t have to tell you how expensive it is to purchase additional maps and software. Garmin maps start at $50 and in most cases run up into the hundreds of dollars; likewise with TomTom - starting at $60 for maps supporting their older devices; but usually much steeper. While Google can be your best friend, it probably won’t lead you down the right path to the true sources for free GPS navigation and map software - and that’s on torrent trackers and Direct Download forums. These sites won’t make your head spin with inane Google rhetoric - just free maps and software for whatever GPS device you own.

Share And Download Spotify Playlists at SpotiSHARE

February 09, 09 by sharky   9,309  views  

If you’re a Spotify fanboi, we probably don’t need to tell you about the opportunities for discovering new music. With an in-program radio feature that rivals Sirius Satellite; and an infinite number of browsable playlists, the amount of music is staggeringly boundless. In our opinion, probably the coolest feature about Spotify is the ability to add external playlists from like-minded music fans. SpotiSHARE.ws is one such website where users can find, share and download Spotify playlists.

1,000 New Spotify Invites Handed Out Daily At Lakka.se

January 29, 09 by sharky   26,026  views  

Looking for a quick invite to Spotify? A Swedish website up at Lakka.se has been freely handing out Spotify invites at a torrid pace for the last two weeks. We’ve been keeping a keen eye on this site for the past few days, and it would appear that Lakka somehow obtains approximately 1,000 new Spotify invites each day - and then doles them out unconditionally via email. So what’s the catch? Nothing whatsoever - you just need a valid email address. But you need to act fast (or come back the next day), since all offered invites get snapped up rather quickly.

10 Really Great Sites For Free Magazine Scans

January 28, 09 by sharky   54,078  views  

A common request among torrenters is for a private tracker that caters to magazine scans and torrents. While the idea would likely be a raving success, to the best of our knowledge, nary a one exists. Even the top eLearning trackers carry just a tiny iota of magazine-related content (BitMe.org carries a paltry 176 mag-related torrents) and even mega-tracker Demonoid with just 658 doesn’t fair much better. Until someone comes out with a magazine-only tracker, mag freaks will have to settle for some of these great sites.

Pre Database, Scene Release and Dupecheck Websites

January 26, 09 by sharky   48,321  views  

Unless you have hundreds of accounts at various private trackers, you’re most likely missing out on the majority of what is being released (leaked) from the scene. Even so, it’s been estimated that 90% of scene releases don’t make it to BitTorrent at any level; whereas IRC, Usenet and even eD2k offer much more variety for those who seek out hard-to-find scene stuff. If you’re looking for something specific, dupecheck and preDB websites contain a wealth of information for the latest 0day and 0sec releases.

LimeWire 5 - Is It Any Good, Or Just More P2P Junk?

January 20, 09 by sharky   10,721  views  

Tech-savvy torrenters snicker at anyone who continues to use LimeWire and similar-style P2P applications. Ever tried to convert your LimeWire-Luvin’ friend into joining the world of torrents? Not an easy task in most situations - you either get it, or you don’t. Having said that, for P2P’ers who can’t wrap their head around seeds, peers, swarms, ratios, H&Rs and other torrent-techie jargon, making the switch from version 4.18 to the all-new & drastically improved LimeWire 5 offers some substantial benefits over its predecessors. Take for instance, automatic file & folder sharing - this is disabled by default, so you won’t end up like Jammie Thomas.

Invites: The Top 50 Most Requested Private Trackers

December 17, 08 by sharky   132,319  views  

Experienced BitTorrent users know a thing or two about private trackers - some sites are just better than others. This could translate to fastest pre-times of new releases; trackers with the most diversity and number of torrents; community-focused trackers; and even the rarity of an account weighs heavily on what is deemed "in demand". We scoured high and low on torrent forums everywhere to find out what trackers are in hot demand, and tallied up the results - #1 shouldn’t be much of a surprise.

To compile this data we visited torrent forums and counted (really!) each and every tracker request that was posted, including ones that were ‘filled’. Our stats went back as far as July, 2008. Sites that were used included:
