Heading Back to the Dorm? Here’s how to Keep Torrenting

August 19, 08 by sharky   863  views  

For students, September can be a very stressful time of year - saying goodbye to loved-ones, readjusting to an academic schedule, and the loss of carefree BitTorrent downloading due to an iron-fisted university ISP. While we can’t help you with the first two - at least you’ll be able to keep the torrents rolling into your dorm room by implementing a few of these tips.

Many universities are getting wise to the increasing BitTorrent/P2P traffic that’s clogging up their lines, not to mention the headaches of having to deal with "Copyright Infringement / DMCA" notices to pass along to students. More and more are now using outsourced unfriendly ISP’s that outright ban BitTorrent/P2P traffic, and even FTP access is beginning to join the banlist. If you picked up some nice private trackers over the summer, you’ll have a difficult time keeping active accounts when you can’t download (or seed) torrents.

Here’s how to keep it all in sync:

Private Tracker Ratio Hacking - Busted Myth? Or Reality?

August 11, 08 by sharky   2,325  views  

[DISCLAIMER] — The purpose of this article is not aimed to teach people how to hack their ratios on private trackers. A simple Google search will provide much more information than what is written here. We do not condone nor recommend doing this. Not only will you quite possibly jeopardize your account, but more importantly it’s discernibly negative for filesharing in general. It is selfish and slows down speeds for other users, not to mention a gamut of other baneful side effects. It is with our utmost sincerity when we say we hope that everyone who cheats gets caught and banned.

With this article we bring forth awareness, and probably from what you’ll read - deterrence. Is that because ratio hacking on private trackers doesn’t work? No, it’s not that. It works TOO well - the results from our testing were obscenely lop-sided and so blatantly obvious that they’d be impossible for tracker staff to ignore - if they were looking, that is.

Seeding Tips & Tricks for Specific Private Trackers

August 03, 08 by sharky   2,729  views  

We probably don’t have to tell you that maintaining a good sharing ratio on your private trackers is crucial to keeping the account. Period. However, no tracker is alike - we’d like to break this down a little further and delve into the seeding secrets behind individual trackers.

As an example, new users to What.cd and Waffles will wonder how it can ever be possible to make it to ‘Power User’, when the torrents just don’t seem to seed. TorrentLeech and RevTT users may find it extremely easy to buffer their accounts in no time at all at these 0day trackers. So instead of seeing "This account has been disabled", we’d rather you be privy to a great buffer.

The Biggest List of Private BitTorrent Trackers on the ‘Net

July 25, 08 by sharky   10,874  views  

Private Trackers:
959

We’ve come up with a colossal list of more than 900 private trackers. After countless requests for it, we finally got around to putting all of our listed private trackers on one page. You won’t find a more complete collection anywhere else on the ‘Net. As of date of publication - July 25/08 - all trackers are online. In most instances, trackers with less than 50 active torrents were not included here.

Due to WordPress limitations, we had to remove the URL links. For this, we recommend the Linkification Add-on for Firefox - it will convert these text URLs into clickable links.

Private Trackers With The Best Pre-Times

July 17, 08 by sharky   4,918  views  

Most of you are probably already aware that "elite" private BitTorrent sites are locked in a perpetual race to get the latest ‘warez’, trying to outdo their competition and claim the bragging rights for having a new release "first". For those of you that have more than one good private tracker, likely you’ve noticed that some just seem to have an advantageous angle to "the scene" and, time-after-time, come up with the latest torrents before anyone else. Certainly, if you have an account at ScT - notoriously known for the best pre-times among all private trackers - this is not new information to you. Users of public trackers such as Mininova and ThePirateBay normally have to wait for the ‘trickle-down’ effect; that is, until a torrent gets ‘leaked’ out from one of the major 0day trackers. Thus, the pre-time for a scene-released torrent at mininova will be far longer than the pre-time at ScT.

So, which tracker has the best pre-times? And how is this calculated?

It makes no sense to keep adding new torrent sites to various articles around the site, so to keep all the newly-discovered private trackers separate, we’ve created this post. All new trackers will now be added here - check the bottom for the most recent entries. (Note: some sites are older, but aren’t currently listed anywhere else on site).

The Wipeout of Prominent Private Trackers

July 04, 08 by sharky   1,509  views  

What is going on with all these private trackers being offline? It seems like half of the private BitTorrent world is down.

As reported by TorrentFreak, Malaysian Government Orders Torrent Sites Shutdown - we’ve noticed some prominent (and very elite) trackers across the private BitTorrent scene have been affected by this mass closure. Big deal, you say? What’s a few torrent sites, anyways? Well, if you have an account at some of the these secretive & secure private trackers, you may be wondering why you can’t access them anymore. For instance, if you have PtN or FtN, we don’t need to reassure you that this IS a big deal.

So who else is affected by the shutdown? Both low and high-level trackers alike. These trackers listed below are confirmed to be related to the Malaysian crackdown:

Are Large Private Trackers Losing Popularity?

July 02, 08 by sharky   1,293  views  

Seven months ago we published the Alexa traffic rankings of popular BitTorrent sites. Here’s an update of the data, and we’ve noticed an alarming trend across the board - private sites are slipping in the ranks. Perhaps this is due to Alexa’s overhaul of their ranking algorithm to reflect a more accurate portrayal of data and traffic. If you’re a fan of Alexa rankings, you may have noticed some significant changes during the last few weeks.

Is this simply a reflection in the formula in which Alexa conducts their ranking scheme, or are private trackers simply becoming less popular? Aside from the Alexa theory, it’s plausible that a combination of factors are contributing to the waning statistics:

New Tracker LoveTheScene.net Now Open

June 30, 08 by sharky   1,590  views  

BitTorrent’s newest private tracker, LoveTheScene.net, opened its doors yesterday.

Get in while you can - there’s a 3,500 member limit. LoveTheScene presently lists 205 members and 183 torrents (not too bad for just one day). Uploaders are jam-packing the site with as many torrents as possible - there’s a new one every couple of minutes. LTS is currently set to freeleech for the next week or so; now is the time to build a good ratio.

Internet’s Worst Private Trackers?

June 24, 08 by sharky   2,417  views  

What could be more frustrating than going through the entire signup process at an unknown private tracker to find out there’s only 9 torrents? We’re not sure - a close second would be downloading password-protected torrents from mininova. Or how about deathly-slow downloads? Or unavoidable popup advertisements shoved into your face? It’s all bad. Here are a few examples of how private trackers shouldn’t be done.

The Monetary Value Of Private Trackers

June 22, 08 by sharky   1,308  views  

Ever wondered if it could be possible to determine the value of the "warez" found on a private tracker? In actuality, the answer is simple! Zip, zero, nil. "No files you see here are hosted on the server." - it is you and I who host those files, not the tracker. However, if you were to look at it through the warped lenses of MPAA / RIAA goggles, perhaps a value could be ascertained.

Truth be told, there’s no accurate way to conduct this without actually looking at the cost of each and every individual torrent listed - I’m not about to do this. But if we can derive the average cost of each item for each category, a tracker’s net worth could be simulated. The data shouldn’t be taken seriously - it’s meant to be fun; furthermore, it’s probably not even close to being accurate.

And Here’s Even More Private Torrent Sites

June 10, 08 by sharky   2,999  views  

The total number of private trackers that are listed at Filesharefreak is unknown - certainly it must be in the thousands. The recently released post on May 23 titled "New Torrent Sites" includes an additional 150 sites that weren’t previously included here, and/or were brand-new to the private tracker scene. Instead of updating that article by adding in a whole bunch of newly-discovered trackers, I thought it be served best by…yet again…adding another article for new trackers. So here’s another 60 100+ private trackers.

Update: July 24/08 We’ve gone through this list and added info, and removed down trackers.

Private Tracker Levels with Updated Rankings

May 28, 08 by sharky   7,779  views  

This post exists almost everywhere, although it’s difficult to find an updated one. I believe this first started on FST, but I’m unable to find a current thread for it there. Regardless, it badly needed to be updated - many of the Level 1 and 2 trackers (that you’ll find on most similar lists) are not open to new signups or don’t even exist anymore. We’ve compiled this data from existing (and some hopelessly outdated) lists, with some help from admins and moderators.

For those who don’t already know, private trackers are ranked into "Levels" based on the criteria of how difficult it is to get in. Level 1 being the easiest to get into, and Level 10 the hardest. This has nothing to do with the contents of the trackers (quality, # of torrents, etc).

Private Trackers’ Invite Systems - When and How

May 26, 08 by sharky   3,507  views  

Ever wanted to know why it’s so damn hard to get invited to some private trackers? Ever wonder when and how a private tracker decides to give invites to its members?

Each site gives out invites to qualifying members who meet a set of positive criteria for the tracker - be it a good share-ratio, or uploaded GB, or both - and these conditions vary greatly from site to site. Obviously some are much more stringent than others; and some down-right just want money for them. Here’s a compilation of what each private tracker requires before issuing out invites. Maybe now you’ll understand why it’s so difficult to get into ScT.

New Torrent Sites (and Ones We’ve Missed)

May 23, 08 by sharky   4,774  views  

This is a compilation of 150+ private torrent sites that we haven’t listed anywhere else on FileShareFreak. Some of these sites leave a lot to be desired, and some are great - we can’t believe they’ve been overlooked. There’s even a few that belong in the Top 300 ranked BitTorrent sites.

Many of these are new torrent sites, but a few of them are older and somehow managed to slip under our radar. This article is now ‘closed’ - all new sites are now being added to the ‘Newest Private Trackers’ post.
