RuTorrents review

Torrents.ru

This review was already posted by me on some other forums, here's a little bit updated variant

Answers to popular questions:
- the only availible language for the tracker is russian. no engilsh. non. nicht :)
- but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. here's a link to a great translate tool, a firefox plugin, FoxLingo https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/2444
personally, i translated screenshots using the other method, promt 8.0 via its plugin for firefox, it works also but requires a huge piece of software installed
- tracker is availible for registrations 18 hrs from 24, sample registrations screen are placed in the review.
- yes, there are ads on the tracker, can be easily blocked, you should know the tricks
- easiest way to use it - searchbar for the tracker is located at the top right corner

(irc is pretty much dead as it seems )))

i'm not 100% good in english so if you'll find some mistakes - please correct me, pm me if you're user or if you're staff - you know what to do )
I dedicate this review to zaa730/"psp"/WarrenBuffet ))))
Lucky, MarkupMaster, DreamCatcher and everybody - thanks )
"Best kept secret" torrents.ru
Anyway, most of the screenshots were translated with promt 8.0, originally site is in russian.
Using these screens it should be very easy for you to navigate, or you can repeat my steps installing this translator.
Separate words can be translated at lingvo.com, texts/open urls - promt.com or google translate )

So, torrents.ru is the russian's biggest and it seems that it's the world's biggest and best tracker with ratio system and moderation.
some numbers:
150+ moderators
500 non-russian mainstream dvd's only from year 2005 (as an example)
350.000 torrents
500 TB torrents size amount
1.900.000+ users
4.000.000+ peers
9.000.000+ messages
12.000+ users at the tracker at the same time recorded maximum

every tracker search is limited to 500 results maximum
speeds of course are very good at new and popular torrents (although there's almost no seedboxes in Russia), on older torrents speeds can be disappointing but content worth it 200%
if you have at least decent pipe, ratio will not be a problem for you. at all.

Some sections like tv-series or dvd-rips are of no value for non-russian users but there's a lot of content that is not directly linked to russian language:
music, hd/dvd movies, teaching stuff, software, sport show....

Tracker is closely integrated with forum and torrents can be reached two ways - through front page (less convinient) and through tracker search page. link is located close to left upper corner and called Tpekep. and from there it's very convinient to navigate. Search is ||О|/|CK.
All right, this was the main hints, they will be repeated in screenshots along with the other useful information ) let's start

P.S. critics and questions are welcomed, if you need any help with the tracker - pm me

Just noticed that Google Chrome now has a built in translate feature - should be pretty useful for people wanting to use the site (or you could just use the FF addon mentioned).

Also, do you guys think that this thread and the WTO entry should be renamed to rutracker.org? Or will people be more accustomed to looking for torrents.ru in the title?

Perhaps you can put both?

What is the minimum ratio you have to maintain?

I think it's 0.3.

i think its better than demonoid at times.

yes it is a very nice site and I like it very much open register one hour a day

maybe one of the hottest PT site in the world.

I really like the site but I find in some films if there's any writing it's in Russian :(. Is there anyway to know if this is the case before downloading the torrent.

Tried translating the descriptions via Google?

Yep but it's not very accurate and it's hard to know what it's trying to make out.

film specs doesn't need to be translated anyway (except maybe for the languages included in the release).

sources for R5

thanx looking for this even though i dont know russian i appreciate their download communitys its just the trouble finding one

ya russian always leading for R5 :D

I like rutracker, demonoid, IPT.

nice tracker! and i guess after introducing a bonus system, the ratio is not that important there any longer.

Wow i didn't know that this tracker was a former rutracker :) Isn't there a new torrent download limit? 3 Torrents/day?

With a good ratio, you can snatch up to 3 torrents for "free" every day, and must spend time bonuses to get any more than that. You get bonuses by seeding torrents - 1 per 3 hours of seeding per torrent.

There's also a ratio-based cap, if you search a bit you'll find the thread where that was described.

Indeed a good tracker and a huge contents ....

Do you have any idea about user classes?

I have no idea about anything.
But Rutracker is treating me very nice.
I wonder when it will end.

If you use Google Chrome, the browser asks you if you want the page translated in English. You can change the settings, so that Chrome will translate Russian automatically.

An amazing tracker with some very rich content. Dosvidanya comrades, also maybe update the OP?

The thread could be renamed at least.

Is there anyway to know if this is the case before downloading the torrent??!!

can I use this tracker in English !!?
