The Dominating Trackers - Part II - Other Scene Trackers

November 16, 09 by sharky   5,266  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.

The Dominating Private Trackers - Part I - The Best of The Best

November 13, 09 by sharky   9,858  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!

TopBytes, DigitalHive, LastTorrents & TopHos - Open for Signup

November 10, 09 by sharky   5,419  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). LastTorrents is a tracker to compete with IPT, TL and the likes, and lists more than 27K torrents.

Here’s one tracker you won’t be finding invitations floating around for, and that’s Vizz.tv. As many already know, this new TV tracker only offers membership through a $24 yearly fee.

Presenting the Net’s first (and only) review of Vizz.tv, in which we explore if Vizz really lives up to the hype.

Spurious ‘PEG Topsite’ Becomes a Tracker Reality

October 23, 09 by sharky   7,520  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.

10 Reasons for The Decline of Tracker Invite Requests

October 14, 09 by sharky   6,190  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.

The Best Hosting Providers For Private Trackers

October 09, 09 by sharky   14,070  views  

One question we get quite frequently from readers is this: What are the best (safest) hosting companies in which to run a private tracker on? The answer is quite simple, really - one just needs to take a look at which hosting providers current trackers are using. Below, we list 200 popular trackers and examine who they’re hosted with. While the most obvious leaders would presumably be OVH and Leaseweb, the results are somewhat surprising - the number 2 provider that private trackers are using to host their sites turns out to be torrent-friendly Carat Networks.

ScienceHD, The Science Tracker now Open For Signups

September 22, 09 by sharky   4,389  views  

It’s been nearly 5 months since ScienceHD.net bestowed the scene with science-related torrents. This rapidly-growing Gazelle tracker has one of the most active dev teams in all of BitTorrent, and has really evolved into something to behold. Innovative, feature-rich and jammed with content - if there was an award for most improved tracker, SciHD would win in a landslide. And for the first time in more than 4 months, the ScienceHD crew has decided to open up registration for a limited time:

UPDATE: Sept. 30 - Public registration is now closed.

Private Trackers With the Most Torrents

September 19, 09 by sharky   12,969  views  

It’s indisputable that most public torrent indexers will offer more torrents than any one individual private tracker. However, if you added up all the private torrents in existence, and compared the stats to what public trackers have to offer (taking into consideration for redundancy and dead torrents of both) private trackers collectively will win in an overwhelming landslide. For example IsoHunt, which boasts an incredible 3.7 million ‘active’ torrents; impressive as it may seem, still pales in comparison to the number of torrents available on just 20 of the top private trackers combined. Here’s a list of 13 private trackers that have the most torrents overall.
