[kyushizzl]

worst and best is already superlative. couldnt refuse :-)

i think the tracker with the worst design is tvtorrents. there are a some good ones. bitmetv is surely one of them.

[t0mmy]

bitsoup and chronictracker have the worst tracker design in my eyes :) and the best for me goes to F*N and i like childbytes design cause its so simple yet effective :)

[fsephie]

I would have to say scenemachine is the absolute worst tracker design I have ever seen. It took me several minutes to realize just where the torrents link is.

I personally prefer Brokenstones and one of the templates on What, as they have a very mellow feel to them.

[th0r]

Best tracker design(s)? ScT, FT.N, ScL (not the .ro one), and SCC.

[SgtMajor]

The Next Step is pretty awful, just way too busy front end, eek!

To me, the simpler the front end, the better, and TL does me very well in that respect.

[0Ri0N]

Best design- FTN, REVOLT, SCC, KG, TTi
Worst design - FTWR, TopHos, WB, SITR, PIsexy

[NordicP2P]

+ SweTV (Pleasant surprise)
- TvTorrents and SITR

[Grind$oFine]

Worst:
Winners: BitSoup, SCM, TopHos, SITR
Runners up: BCG, Libble(the Roland style is okay, though), CT

Best:
Winners: ScT, FTN, ScLife
Runners up: x264, Waffles (33RPM stylesheet), ThePlace, elektronik

[G-Force]

BEST - FTN, RTS

Worst - S.I.T.R

[SaviouR]

ScL looks really beautiful . great job to the person who has done its design .

[Something Else]

Scenefz has always impressed me and docs.ro too.

[Night0wl]

Best: E

Worst: SITR

[th0r]

ScL looks really beautiful . great job to the person who has done its design .

I helped with some of it.

[fOrUmAs]

[Bad Blue Boy]

[deathking81]

Best : SceneHD
Worst : BitSoup

[Adman65]

TvTorrents is kinda bad. They need that frame that as all the shows to be larger. Plus a search to find all the free torrents.

[LackOfInterest]

Best: FTN and I really like the what.cd design its nice and simple
Worst: TVTorrents makes my eyes hurt. I'm not too fond or TL's design either.

[whiteyes]

my best : TTi - large pics & words
my worst : BitSoup - bad color
TVTorrents.com - can't see more than 50 torrents .sux

[Gish]

Best: TTi, Bitmetv
worst: PiSEXY, STmusic or bitsoup

FTN design doesn't impress me for some reason...but it indeed is one of the simple looking design.

i agree with DyNast (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/dynast-183772), i can't think of anything other than Scene Inspired.

Best

i don't have a best design but as long as they look neat, they are good :)

[fazzy07]

Worst: Bitsoup, PT, BWT, KG

:whistlingthank you t0mmy i picked only the top 5 ur list is relly helpfull thanx:)

[fsephie]

This is actually an interesting thread. I'm particularly interested in how much a great design can entice users vs. a good design. I'm looking into tracker design and have a few ideas which might be really good, but I'm not sure if they are worth the time.

[Mister Moo]

TopHos, hands down is the worst looking tracker out there. Also whoever said F**R is an idiot they have a great design

[t0mmy]

hehe i knew bitsoup would be the worst :P LOL, theres a massive frog on their tracker banner :Whistling

btw supper, i was wondering what was F*T, i frankly have no idea what i could be :(

[AmpeD]

nordic t is pretty bad too. I liked oink the best. I miss it.
rip 10.23.07

[th0r]

This is actually an interesting thread. I'm particularly interested in how much a great design can entice users vs. a good design.

Read up on web design usability and aesthetics, that's what it is, really.

[ABOUD]

"worseest and bestest" damn it !!! you should look for a good english course dude ...

[Saroman]

BitmeTV is good, NB and ScT are okie too..

[raj3186]

BitmeTV is good, NB and ScT are okie too..

[Ghost+Rider]

NB <3(Best in ma opinion)
Waffles ie the worst :P

[Saroman]

BitmeTV is good, NB and ScT are okie too..

wat are the trackers with worst design then? :pinch:

I hate FTN, DT, TL (dunno why, but i dont like it)

RTS was bloody best...If only someone like ScT could borrow thier template

[alkillyou5]

:Di know its looks stupid topic but i think the design of any tracker is important as the contents as well

for me i gusse the worseest tracker design is PT even its have great contants and good speed etc....

the bestest one i gusse its F*T and bitmetv and TT;)

best SCT
worst Bitsoup

is it just me or does bitsoup and ilovetorrents the same design, moderators, etc. same layout and they always come out with the same exact mass pms for donations the same day.

[Grind$oFine]

Oohh I forgot about RTS :lol:
But, really, their layout was haawt.
Probably the best around, and there was definitely a lot of time put into it.

[t0mmy]

yeah it was so smooth, especially their forum layout :) i enjoyed it while it was up :whistling

[Quarter]

BitSoup really ugly.
I liked SCT the most, i guess TTI pretty nice too.

[DanielleD87]

best - ScL .org
worse - merc-tech or chronic or tl i'd say. merc-tech is just plain annoying. chronic looks good but i don't like the idea of having a full on jpg picture as the background. it isn't professional. tl is just plain annoying especially on the forums. it looks like they just stuck a separate web site for the forums on tl. like you have your profile then your forum profile. wtf? c'mon tl you can to better then that...

[t0mmy]

yeah true, the forums on TL are the worst, thats why i dont choose to get active on it :) it just looks deplaurable

[Saroman]

oh i forgot to add...

x264 is the BEST OF ALL :D

[Dale.Cooper]

Best: ScL, x264, Childbytes, SweBits, FTN
Worst: TopHos, SceneMachine, Bitsoup....

EDIT: forgot TL on the worst list....

[y0y0]

worst - > stmusic
better - > sounddamage and RTS v2 when it was open

[Sylar666]

Best - Dididave, Skenelinks.ro, Iplay.ro
Worst: TD, TvTorrents

[9NINE]

worst - > bitsoup
better - > czone,ncore

[Saroman]

[fOrUmAs]

[LoKaLiRi]

[DorC]

*whew*

[Sparx]

the best for me : tti, scl and iplay

[Tristan]

For me the best are ScL, PT, PP
The worst SCC

[IceTee]

Best:
RTS, Scc, BitMeTV, ScL (& What maybe)

Worst:
SITR, TvTorrents & PiSexy

[PRINCE]

best 5 designs in my opinion

1- ftn
2- sct
3- bitmetv
4- iplay
5- ncore

worst designs in my opinion

pis**y :yup:

[xynn]

:Di know its looks stupid topic but i think the design of any tracker is important as the contents as well

I think you're right, it's important that the design is a help to the user and not an obstacle. It has to be intuitive, easy to use and give you options for searching and browsing that are easy accessible.
And if a Tracker contains adds, its better if they dont get in the way of your 'searching' experience...

I like clean and simple designs

[sawt_eldamir]

i think FTN is the best , Demonoid is the worst

[awoeonip]

worst has to be sitr. by far.

[Dale.Cooper]

"worseest and bestest" damn it !!! you should look for a good english course dude ...


I think he misspelled on purpose.

[Saroman]

SCL is really good :D

No.2 on my list after x264 :)

[Presto]

I like ScT's design, it's nice and neutral. KG looks kind of sexy to me for some reason as well. And of course you just have to mention ftn. It's so simple and clean, but beauty is in simplicity after all, eh.

[helsing]

torrent damage and didi dave designs are not nice, TL has a good design in my opinion. Bitsoup also has a bad design, filelist has a smooth nice looking design.

[PirateEagle]

Best Design have FTN and nCore
Worst Bitsoup

[yoyogi4]

Best:
FTN,
CZONE

Worst:
anyone site with an tbdev torrentbits basic template.

[DjDjazzer]

I don't see point post worst designs! designers and coders were working hard to make designs, so, i belive nobody do not deserve be called WORST!

SD is cool! http://www.sounddamage.com/pic/loveqd0.gif

[supper]

SD is cool! http://www.sounddamage.com/pic/loveqd0.gif are the designers and coders were working relly hard to make the WORST designs? i dont think so

but its a fact if there is the best then will be the WORST and its good chance to make owners think of better designers any way:happy:

[MrLazy]

PiSexy has a very sexy design .. to me .. and probably this is why "sexy" is in their name as well .. i love their design lol

[markupmaster]

SD actually does have a rather unique design...

;)

[th0r]

are the designers and coders were working relly hard to make the WORST designs? i dont think so

They're not trying to code the worst designs, it doesn't work like that. Most people who code (either for the web or computer science wise) don't really have a strong sense of design nor aesthetics. They code what works and what's usable and leave the color scheme/graphical elements for second.

[supper]

well there is new trackers comes out lately with a great design so if any one can vote for any of them or even mention thats will be great i heard iTS have nice design though

[t0mmy]

wow i remember this thread lol :D

[Nemrod]

Hard to say the best... I think iTS is the best for my taste, after that... nCore, F*N, TL, SCL, TTi etc.
Regarding to the worst... no doubt: SITR... unbeatable... it has reached the next level of ugliness, second Tophos and bronze for ChronicTracker.

[BamZow]

Old but good thread :yes:
Haven´t looked at as many trackers as most users here, but here is my list:
Best: Softmp3, FTN, E***o, SceneHD, TTi
Worst: BCG, Ftwr, PEC, Powerbits

[kaler]

how many ScL are there?

cause i know scceneleech.org
someone said scl.ro

what other is it possible to know the full name maybe not the link but names so we know which ones they are talking about :D

[supper]

dp sorry

[zxion]

bitsoup anyone ? lol

[zxion]

bitsoup anyone ? lol

[krunktastic]

tophos is just gross, way worse than bitsoup

[lubu]

SITR and Tophos are downright ugly

[eslip]

Best: A-L, KG
Worst: goem, what

[Quarter]

Bit soup has ugly design..

[Horatiu]

I like Bit-HDTV and think that HDBits isn't that good...

[fOrUmAs]

bad: TorrentDemons,Midnight-Torrents,LM,chronictracker :(

very bad: Scene-Inspired,shadowtorrents:sick::sick:

[1000possibleclaws]

the WORST tracker designs are definately Punktorrents and BwT. I'm talking about design, not just how it looks. These are both forums with links to torrents they host, and its always annoying because you'll ifnd what you want but itll have been from 2 years ago and itll be dead. how can you say tophos and bitsoup are worst? they dont look great, but they work fine

[KFlint]

Best: A-L, KG
Worst: goem, what

what ain't so bad anymore imo, miles ahead of tvtorrents and bitsoup

[stoi]

Im colour blind, hence why BCG hasnt been updated, but we are working on a better design now, I have had some input but not that much lol

[freakguy]

Best = ScT , TL & Waffles

Worst = TOPHOS

[Crutavv]

Best: TTi, iTS, FTN /but I know only screens of this site :)/
---
Worst: Tomphos /yes, so ugly :)/, TL etc.
I think the most of trackers have not nice design...

[soulreaper]

The good designs would be the clover(stylish),waffles(beautiful),bitme(bright n wonderful), iPLAY(sleek) and KG(love the advanced search,very unique design).

But from the e**** review i'd have to say e**** has the best! Absolutely stunning,kudos to the designer!

Wonder how hexagon looks,haven't seen a review yet,anyone here can describe it maybe?

[Cruel]

best: ftn, its they have that style which i feel home in (nCore is pretty damn nice to)
worst: libble, IT feels like standard with same or different colors

[Forevame7189]

Best: Scl (probably the best of the sites I'm a member of), bitmetv, revtt, scenefz
Good/Decent: TL, TB (plain but efficient), SCC, bitme, elbitz
Worst: Tvtorrents, bitsoup, docs.torrent.ro nuff said!

[googol]

best: iPlay, ntorrents, scenehd, waffles
worst: scenemachine, tmtorquev2, chronictracker, torrentzilla

[asoto]

Best:
SCC, TL, ScT, SD, ScL(flower and .ro)

[punki_rach]

I don't like revtt or tophos at all and for some reason what feels like it isn't finished yet. I didn't used to like torrentleech either but it's growing on me.

I like indietorrents because of the little robot dude

[ShadowsServant]

worst and best is already superlative. couldnt refuse :-)

i think the tracker with the worst design is tvtorrents. there are a some good ones. bitmetv is surely one of them.

Tvtorrents the worst one? I like it, it's quite unique and proper. How can you not like it? The shows are all placed in alphabetical order. If you know what you want you just scroll down to see if it's available.

Bitmetv, I am not familiar with.

[zaipe]

Ignore this... I didn't doubleclick btw.

[zaipe]

As a designer, I really really care about the design and overall feel of a tracker. It might sound dumb, but it matters to me.

Best: Without a doubt partis.si with FTN (<3) coming in 2nd. I mean, have you guys seen partis.si, it's breathtaking! It even has coverflow for browsing the various torrents. The unique design of FTN also really appeals to me and makes me feel even more proud to be part of it.

Worst: SITR... and some others I can't remember right now.

I think when you discuss design it is to broad because there are several elements to the design of a tracker, the one most are discussing is the graphical layout but there is the usability and the database backend as well which contribute.By usability I mean ease of navigation , how easy is it to find thing you are after, ie. search personal settings etc, the navigation toolbars and how they are laid out etc . Also there is the database i.e. when you click on something how quickly does the site actually respond ?
For me though the worst overall because it is really odd to stumble around finding things in is Cinema Obscura, my favorite graphical design would have to be TTi but the one that has the best layout since you can group your forum interests and clubs has to be FSC and the 1337 stylesheet aint bad either.

[Definite]

I've always liked TB's minimalistic design.

[shygrrrl]

I like RevTT and KG - pretty and functional. :)

AL is hideous and ebookvortex hates my computer, so they are the worst.

[Bucktoof]

Best: FTN, but waffles is my second choice

Worst: Supertorrents

[Dark Archon]

TTi is my favourite cuz the buttions look futuristic, worst is hmmm bitsoup? the banner looks horrible

[lsw0794]

tl is so worst?

[Steve02]

best : TL.FTN.IPLAY.SCT.SCC :w00t:
wrost : bitsoup :wacko:

[ScreaminJay]

Best : KG
Worst : Supertorrents

[danio]

Im colour blind, hence why BCG hasnt been updated, but we are working on a better design now, I have had some input but not that much lol

I like the old design.. The one you see on the login screen.. Once i found out there was several stylesheets i changed to that one.. much nicer than the default imo :)

[FACE_TO_FACE]

Tl is a very nice tracker, but i think they need some new fresh design.

Flower looks very nice.

[YoYoY]

I vote for scl

[BamZow]

Scenehd is very comfortable to look at. Good for the eyes :)

Also, this link is showing an interesting thing:
