View Full Version : Alternatives to BitMe?

Hello!

I was recently banned from BitMe, for inviting some bad users from this forum. It really sucks but atleast i have learned to be more careful in the future. Since BitMe was my only source for e-books (and what a great one!) i am now looking for replacements. Is there any other e-book based tracker out there even comparable with BitMe? I'm not looking for half-decent ones.

PS. If there has been many threads and discussions about this already, i apologize. I made a search for it but couldn't find anything.

Regards,
danio

why not? bitme was awesome when you needed some course literature :P. where can i go to find it otherwise?


try elbitz.net , bitspyder , textbooktorrents, docs.torrents.ro etc.

http://textbooktorrents.com/account-signup.php
http://docs.torrents.ro/signup.php
http://www.learnbits.org/signup.php (not open atm, but they do open at some times)
http://elbitz.net/signup.php (Will be open March 5th and onwards)

I recommend the top 3, and BitSpyder is good, as you've already taken notice.
The other two are alright, they may be better than the last time I logged in so you may want to check them out yourself.

may i ask you how many torrents the top 3 sites have respectively? i am a bit reluctant to signing up at alot of different sites when i don't know if i really want them.
elbitz and learnbits have reviews, which i have checked and i wasn't that impressed with them.

top three on that list are worth signing up...they all are unique.

ebook: 2691...it's new but yet worth a try

text: 1854...opened by ex-demonoid staff....mainly ebooks

docs: dunno my login isn't working atm...but it's pretty nice site. and has bunch of video learning stuff.

eBookVortex and TextBookTorrents are all ebooks, and squirr3l gave you the numbers on that. Almost all non-fiction, as far as I know, so if you're looking for fiction, there's probably better options.
Docs, is a general e-learning with 5024 torrents.

ok, but that's what suits me. i'm not much into fictional literature :P.. more looking for e-learning and course literature for my economics and business studies. I signed up on ebookvortex and textbook torrents and i think i'm gonna hunt for bitspyder tomorrow. thank you all for the tips. maybe i'll find some sleep tonight after all. lol ;)

Danio, just sign up and take a look to see if you like any of those.
If you don't, no big deal and it will be deleted or disabled for inactivity.

Sorry to hear about your Bitme account.
I am fortunate my account wasn't disabled because there were 3 invitees of mine disabled for either cheating or ???. However, the rest of my invites are taken away and lost my invitation privilege.

Well if you're in to economics and business, then you should check out TheVault's review. :yup:

yeah, this is what i hoped would happen to my account aswell. i asked in their help channel what my invitee did, and if i couldn't get my account back with invite privilegies revoked, since i myself hadn't done anything bad (beside inviting this person). apparently he had done something really bad since they didn't even tell me what and just wanted me to leave without any answers. maybe the staffer had a bad day or something :). anyways, life goes on, and I hope i can fill my needs on these sites instead.


Well if you're in to economics and business, then you should check out TheVault's review. :yup:

yeah they are good. i already have an account there.. it is good for some interesting reading just for joy, but i haven't had any luck finding any needed course literature there..
