Mine too!!!
They were the first tracker I register so it'll always be special to me.
I've said this before... I think it was one of the fastest comebacks you have seen from a tracker.
They were down for quite some time and when they came back it took them a little more then a couple of weeks to get back to where they started.

Old school baby, yeah! :P

I used to use that site all the time...then I stopped....then I used it a lot again till their last downtime which seemed to last forever, can't really remember how long ago that was. Haven't thought about it much since then. I never had a bad experience at that site though so as far as I can remember they were a great site.

Love the packs.
I do believe TB is the best tracker for packs at the moment.
They seem to get like 5-10 new packs each day, not many other trackers that can match that..

i cant believe that it is so underrated , it has got all the ingredients of a great tracker. speeds are nice , staff is helpful , there are always some freeleech packs to help out people with not-so-great upload speeds........ i have grown fond of the site .

Wow, I still remember the days when TorrentBits went down and everyone was awaiting TorrentBytes to come up.

I just looked at my account and 152 weeks! Kind of hard to imagine that it has been 3 years already...

Finally, true, there are better sites but community-wise, I really think it has one of the best.

Also remember that TB Delete torrents after 30 days even if they have 1000 seeders. Only thing that dont get deleted is packs, they get removed when all the seeders have left.

It's open signup's (first come, first serve), the limit at the moment is 52,000 and they currently have Registered users 51859

So only 141 spaces left, until they next increase the limit.

If you're asking that it's because you haven't been around the BitTorrent world long enough. ;)

denise119

We also have a TTL (42 days) on torrents, which means once the TTL expires the torrent is removed from the tracker.

Only the pack uploads (Movies/Tv/Games/Music) don't have a TTL, the packs will stay on the site for as long as they have seeders (and will be Free Leech at all times).

lucky7strike

I meant Tbits (typo) aka Torrentbits, aka one of the very few bittorent cores back in 2003.

Ah! The sign-up process... took me a good 10 times to sigh-up when I tried...
I think the message that they try to pass with this sing-up process is...

The harder the effort to get something... the more you'll enjoy it later :lol:

Probably because the site is now full for the moment, we hit the 52,000 mark about an hour ago.

You can either keep trying to get in as and when accounts are pruned or wait a little while until the limit is raised again.

Well it's certainly showing ok, just type in the code (written in blue) and it will either then take you to the signup page or inform you if the limit is currently reached.

I recently joined the site, and I love it! I remember trying a year or so to get one, with no luck, but it was surprisingly easy this time around. As soon as I clicked sign up, there was a space available. I guess I was just lucky with my timing. Make sure you click on the FAQ and the other link, and do the password exactly as they say, and you'll be fine.

2-3 years ago , there was TiT , TB and Filelist which were the best 3 sites . TiT and TB had great communities while FL was like a ScT , having lots of contents . after 3 years , we see TB having a amazingly strong comeback , FL unfortunately doesnt have its previous charm at all . just hope TiT comes back . TiT was da community !

krisil

12-13-2007, 11:53 AM

FL is still good , just that it does not have fast pretimes . speed is excellent and is easy to seedback as well . but this thread is about TB and let's not deviate from that. lets keep the discussion confined to ' the site of the moment ' that is TB . incidentally , for all the people with average to slow uploads...... now is the time to build up a buffer at TB .

I remembered back 'in the day' when I joined TB getting the signup code right was always a bitch.... and as soon as u got one right they reached the then max limit of 50k so had to try again...... needless to say getting in eventually with the code right was quite gratifying..... just keep on trying..... ull get one of the codes right!!!

The user limit has been raised again and is now at 53,000 (941 slots stil available).

@bid888 if your using Firefox you enable referers like this:

In the address bar, Type 'about:config' in the url address bar.

A whole pile of information will appear in the browser window. (It's an alphabetical list).

Look for 'network.http.sendRefererHeader'

By default, this should be set at 2

If it is set to 0 - which disables sending referrers - right click it, select 'Modify' and enter 2 as the value.

For other browsers you'll have to google it as i don't use them.

TB is an amazing site and im glad this freeleech period has brought it into the limelight again. they always have a great collection of packs which is freeleech. probably not many people notice such trackers because they are too busy chasing high level trackers. i think TB is a perfect example that you dont have to be a high level tracker to be a great tracker.

Why you block all Israelis? not all of us are cheaters, you know, that's horrible

Sorry to hear that but I am not on staff on TBy so I don't have and answer to your question.

But hey I wish you the best of luck in getting an account since its sad that a few bad apples could make the whole tree rotten and because of this a possible good member has to suffer.

carpediemm

I Think it's wrong blocking ip:s just because they come from a country where there are many cheaters, traders and so on. I mean there are good people therefrom too

Fibre

12-17-2007, 12:56 PM

Shame on anyone for blocking an entire country.

denise119

12-17-2007, 04:11 PM

The reason for the block wasn't just that there were several cheaters.

It was a combination of several things, the main one being account hijacking/hacking.

There was at one point 100's of accounts being hijacked per day.

Now whilst banning an entire nation was regrettable, as staff our first concern will always be to our current active members (not those who don't yet have an account) and we will do everything we can to ensure that their accounts are safe from being hijacked.

Cheaters we can handle easily with cheat detection scripts, but when your having to sort through 100's of stolen accounts and return them to their rightfull owners it leaves no other time to spend improving the site.

And as regrettable as it was to block certain isreali ranges (and not all are blocked) i can honestly say that i personally have not had a single hacked account to deal with in the past 10 months.

Everything can and will be reviewed, but if we feel the threat to our current users remains then we won't change anything.

locodice

12-17-2007, 04:17 PM

It's not the first tracker that bans Israel, you know? Maybe you should think about that and you'll find out that the country is FULL OF CHEATERS/HIJACKERS/ETC., not saying there aren't good people in there but still..

DyNast

12-17-2007, 05:38 PM

What a nonsense...
100 accounts hijacked per day and after you blocked Israeli ip's *poof*, no more hijacked accounts for 10 months?

Let me guess that you need hacking skills to hijack an account (how else? guess passwords? and I don't think you can "scam" in order to hijack an account) so you really think that hackers or w/e won't be able to get into torrentbytes because your simple ip range block?

Come on...
