one of the first bittorrent tracker ever was suprnova. it was founded by an slovenian teenager in 2002. bittorrent was brand new and nobody was talking about private and public trackers. kazaa and gnutella were popular. i remember uploading my first cd rips and divx movies on suprnova. it was shut down by authorities in 2004 along with lokitorrents which was quite popular as well. elitetorrents followed not much later.

when it comes to private trackers my earliest memories are torrentbits and filelist.

p.s. what's wrong with your spelling? is it supposed to be slang? i mean you are british, aren't you?

lololol, yeah im British, sorry, yeah it supposed to be slang, i use it all the time on msn etc, its just become a habit now, lol.


....i always thought that torrenting was going way back in the mid-90s but then again less people had internet then and probably nobody knew that they could achieve something like the torrent industry that we have today, also people had very slow connections bak then anyway so this peer to peer would not be popular as it is today, but warez is a fast moving way to download these days as it becomes more popular, obly thing is to get the full speeds guarenteed you have to pay for an account, that may keep torrents ahead, also people like the idea of a tracker being rare etc etc, so so that mayb be another reason to keep the torrent industry ontop.

[trackrider]

filelist is the oldest I remember that is still around also. Remember several that are long gone. Many now a days are more specialized and of course speed has greatly improved. I remember one of the first torrent I down loaded was about 300mb and it took over a week to download. ;)

[sovaz]

I guess TorrentBytes is the oldest one out there.

[vinhkhang01]

Either Filelist or TorrentBytes.

[ClodiuS]

i dont know filelist but PiSexy is old since 2004-08-13 more than PT and torrentbytes

[rvt]

i think Nordic t is very old too..
Having hosted nordic-t for a few weeks, I can tell you the new one isn't that old.

Some staff decided to hijack everything, but did not get to the database or code before me and the then owner shut them out.

The new one is less than 3 years old.

[predateur]

Snowtigers 4 years old (april 2004)

[stoi]

Donkax was the first one i used, beginning of 2003.

Blackcats has been around since about August 2003, albeit it was public then. Private since about 2005. and in its present form since Dec 2006.

I remember downloading Frank Sinatra record albums and grainy 16mm porn back in 1973. We didn't even have keyboards in those days, so we used punch cards.

One time, Jerry the sysop (today his grandson runs the site) had freeleech, but I kept getting a busy signal.

[yorner]
