Re: TheBox Review
# of members: 98000 (max 100000)
# of seeders: 798,651
# of leechers: 13,626
# of torrents: 85,303, 76,194
pretime: n/a (sometimes beats scene uploads of similar content, if forced would rate at a 6)
content: 10 (almost all UK related TV content is here, some requests filled)
speed: 8 (user uploads but many uploads are on seedboxes, decent number of seedboxes, lots of leechers, older torrents speed varies but is usually slowish)
overall: 9
Invites: Usually open as they keep raising the max users and prune often, also invites are plentiful.
Free leech: 10,778 torrents, some are neutral for first seven days (sport and events for example), easy to keep good ratio.
Notes: A must have for UK tv lovers.

Re: TheBox Review
Was reading an argument about TheBox that said they now have site and/or uploader watermarks on some of its torrents to prevent people "stealing their uploads" (yes, irony). From reading about this on another site it seems a lot of people really dont like watermarks. These watermarks are not extremely intrusive but are reminiscent of public tracker uploader watermarks at the start or at points during the file. There is some sort of scene group blacklisting as well. Need someone who still uses this site to tell us more.
Dont know how this figures into the rankings but it is something to think about.

Re: TheBox Review
I'd like to know more about it, too. The .torrent file could be generated with a special code unique to each user, but most people aren't going to upload the metadata... and the files can't be modified since that'd change the info_hash. Unless it's a generic "this stuff is from thebox.bz, if you got this elsewhere they're a bunch of idiots" (I was thinking of something traceable to an individual account).

Re: TheBox Review
I am assuming some sort of "this file is property of uploader X at thebox, if you got this elsewhere they're a bunch of idiots" appears at the start or during the video as well but dont really know.

Re: TheBox Review
I found it hard to seed on their site, i got banned pretty quickly even though i was trying to seed. this was a few years ago so mabe they are better now.

Re: TheBox Review
An excellent tracker - hated it to begin with but now it's one of my favourite.

Re: TheBox Review
This tracker is the one I use the most. I simply love it. British productions are second to none in the world. David Attenborough -all I have to say.
