PREd Releases And Torrent Races, In One Site

June 14, 10 by sharky   7,941  views  

Here at FSF, we’re smitten with websites that offer a glimpse into "the scene". Whether it be PreDB/dupe sites that list an unwavering flow of scene releases, or scene trackers that do a little more than just index them. Previndico’s pre is a bit of an oddity: naturally you won’t find any torrents or DDLs here, but it’s a very interesting database for Pred releases. What makes this site special is that the pres are intertwined with private trackers & torrent races - all on one site.

The Dominating Trackers - Part 3: Best General / 0Day

November 20, 09 by sharky   14,304  views  

In our Part I on scene trackers, we conclude that most torrenters can easily attain the majority of scene releases provided by the Top Three. Each being somewhat different in what they provide, but collectively they’re invaluable assets for an overall portrayal of scene content. While scene is the standard, there’s also a wide appeal for non-scene (P2P) content found on general/0day trackers. In fact, the most popular trackers aren’t ’scene’ at all - which brings us to our list of the Top Three general trackers for 0day, scene & P2P releases.

The Dominating Trackers - Part II - Other Scene Trackers

November 16, 09 by sharky   15,848  views  

ScT, SCC & GFT aren’t the only trackers with quality sceneaxx; other well-established sites - and even some newer ones - are also vying to provide fast pretimes on scene releases. Smaller, relatively unknown 0day trackers are surprisingly competitive at racing scene content and will often specialize in certain genres. Larger general trackers may also have scene access, although the majority of torrents come from uploaders who rip off the torrents from scene trackers.

November 13, 09 by sharky   27,255  views  

Here at FSF we review countless new trackers, but it’s about time we took a look into the oldskoolers to pay homage to the dominating trackers. You know the sites we’re talking about: ScT, SCC & GFT - to name the top three - as well as TV, RTT, TL, TiT and other contenders such as CT, DH, HT and more. These trackers are without a doubt the founding fathers of modern-day private BitTorrent, responsible for dozens of spinoffs and new projects - and even provide content to sites like IPT, BitSoup & Demonoid. We tip our hat to these great communities!

November 10, 09 by sharky   13,768  views  

4 trackers; 57,787 torrents. As luck would have it, all four of these great private trackers are open for signup at the same time. TopHos, normally closed to public signups isn’t just a tracker, it’s a community! TopBytes recently did some major housecleaning and re-opened registration today. DigitalHive is often underrated, but is a good scene tracker not to be overlooked (just a few signup spots left).

Spurious ‘PEG Topsite’ Becomes a Tracker Reality

October 23, 09 by sharky   10,686  views  

Nothing sets off the private torrent community into a frenzy quite like the mention of a new l33t secret tracker. Many will probably remember old news about PEG. Supposedly PEG was a topsite in the style of a TBDev tracker, where members received direct web/FTP access to the fastest and latest scene releases - ratio free, naturally. Of course, all of this was just an elaborate hoax. However, the perpetrators of this fabrication have gone on to create the real PEG tracker.

October 14, 09 by sharky   9,087  views  

The facts are in: Numerically, requests for tracker invitations are much in decline compared to what they were a year ago - even though there are more private trackers and more torrent forums than ever before. But does this mean that there are fewer people opting for private? Not at all. Private trackers as a whole are experiencing explosive growth, year after year. So, why have invite requests for private trackers decreased substantially from just 12 months ago? There are several pivotal reasons for this phenomenon.
