Best Tracker for movies?

[G-Force]

Hey guys i have just got a new connection at home with a heap of downloads to burn each month, before hand i only had enough to get me my regular TV shows the odd move and my PPV's. As i was going through my trackers i realized i don't have a really good Movie tracker that offers everything, what would you suggest?

I have:

BitMeTv - TV
FSC - MMA stuff and the odd 0day
MMA Tracker - MMA stuff
FTN - 0 day
TL - Can be pretty good but is missing a lot.

I used to use torrentit but with that gone i dont have a really good movie dedicated tracker.

[respawn40]

TehConnection.eu is my main source for movies. I'm pretty sure it's still open signups, and right now they have freeleech and x2 upload going on. If you're looking for DVD-R so you can burn all of your movies, then you might want to try to get an invite to BitHQ or TheDVDClub. TehConnection is mainly Xvid I think. It's basically IMDB, but you can download movies.

TehConnection.eu is my main source for movies. I'm pretty sure it's still open signups, and right now they have freeleech and x2 upload going on.

I have Tehconection but it is still a very small collection. I am looking for Xvid stuff rather than DVDR

[markupmaster]

PtN is a great choice in my opinion..

:)

[integral]

I use the goem tracker, it's a bit small but has a decent collection, if you're interested.

[1000possibleclaws]

goem has 5k movies, i can send an invite if you want

[G-Force]

goem has 5k movies, i can send an invite if you want

What kindo of stuff do they have? It it general movies?

[integral]

Goem's categories are mostly movie genres, Action, Adventure, Crime, Horror etc. There are also "movies of the week" which are all freeleech.

[SgtMajor]

What's wrong with TTi? Superb collection, I can give you a head start as well if you want.

[Rumblin]

ptn and tc

thats it

[G-Force]

What's wrong with TTi? Superb collection, I can give you a head start as well if you want.

That would be great if you could.

[xurbia]

Goem

[jayz707]

movies? goem, TTi, KG(for odd/rare stuff), teh connection, TL(yeah its good. they have a retro CAT now so with time they will have a lot of good 'old' movies as well....), SCC(got some nice packs)

[markupmaster]

TTi has many great packs as well.

I can invite you there if Sgt. can't for some reason..

[invadercat]

TTi is a fine choice for movies

[bikernin]

use goem, revtt, tl, sct for movies. u really dont need anything more.
i can help you out with goem if you need. drop in a pm :D

[Funkin']

I would get with TTi or Pisexy. They both have nice collections.

[soulreaper]

Goem+Demonoid is all you need for mainstream films.

KG+CG for the rare stuff.

Other than this if you still can't find a film, rent it!

[invadercat]

if you can't find a film in all those places i don't think you can find it for rent! you must surely go look for it in some rare collection archive... or something like that.

[kuracat]

sct and revtt are my movie sources :)

[Spillage]

It depends on the kind of films you're interested in .
If it's just mainstream Hollywood stuff you're after, joining several of the countless 0-day / general trackers will pretty much cover everything . All much of a muchness .
If you want more obscure film, then join specialist film trackers . A combination of CO, KG, CG, plus help from PB & Demonoid does for me .

[helpme]

i think PTN will be good choice

[invadercat]

ScT, KG, goem....

[BlueLabel]

most of the obay trackers have the same movies so potentially every obay tracker is good source even the "small" levels as rsr or iptorrent.

[uploader23]

For movies i use cinematik tti norbits and ptn.

[razmus]

What's a good tracker that has a good selection of blu-rays and hi-def titles? And are any available for invites?

[dunson]

HDBits FTW nothing comes even close

I don't think they are that hard to get, but you'll have to be around here longer to get invited (or find them at another site where you're more active).

[Ali-g]

I used to DL movies on revTT only. They had superb speeds and fairly good content. I heard TTi and goem have some good collections too though

[lifehackr]

I have had some success with bit-hdtv but would love an invite to something better like tti.

[slax]

ptn rock`s :d

[huly]

I like PtN

[beco]

no one said TL ....:P one of my favorites for movies

bitsoup ,kg, etc...
almost to all there is the same "stuff" ;)


it's not the movies it's the community :yup:

[spybot229]

goem/Ptn/revtt

[BULLIT]

zamunda.net and arenabg.com is the best trackers for movies

[Sks]

Where can one get invites?

[SgtMajor]

Where can one get invites?

Strangely, maybe by requesting in the BTinvite forum?

I thought i would do a bit of a follow up on how i went with finding a good movie tracker.

After downloading close to 40Gig of movies ove rthe last 2 weeks here is what i have found:

Revtt- By far the best when it come to variety but speeds can be a little slow on older torrents

TL - Not bad, they have an ok variety but no where near what RevTT has to offer

TTi - Have a limited selection but speeds are always excellent!

TehConnection - Has a very small collection but i am sure will improve with time

Tracker that can not be named - This was one i was very surprised with, i have been really into British Gangster movies lately and this one had them all, even the very old ones, it also has a very big collection.

Demonoid - Crappy speeds but when it has the stuff that no one else has (even local shops) you can complain :)

[ricardogaia]

For me SCC and TL.

[SgtMajor]

12,000+ DVDs on usenet using Giganews as your usenet provider, which will do me :P

And certainly never any speed issues!

That's just DVDs, XviDs & DivXs you can multiply exponentially (factor of 10 wouldn't be far off the mark, prob higher).

Giganews now has 8 months retention, I can grab a DVD off giganews usenet & seed back at ScT before the main swarm has even started (if I wanted to of course - I never do though - it's just a speed comparison), and I can max my seedbox 24/7 never mind my home connection :D

If you really do want more info, then ask in the usenet forum here, having done usenet for 10+ years & torrents for 5 years, even if I put all the torrent sites together it doesn't match up to usenet, and if I said over half of a million MP3 albums then all your music is taken care of too.

The best thing about torrents is not the scene content, but user content, FLAC, untouched DVDs & DVD rips of rare shit etc, strange little apps that are kept alive at unusual places such as pro audio torrents and Audionews etc.

If really interested, keep the topic going and I will answer :)

[bilkenter]

When you guyz talk about usenet, i always remember my terrible experience with usenext, it was such awful that i havent even used 9 gb quota of mine at that time... Didnt have time to use giganews though, maybe i will nowadays

WOW, i have really missed the boat on this one. I have heard of Usenet but was always of the belief that it was slow to pick up 0day stuff (like days slow).

So do i just pay the monthly fee of $19.95 or what ever and i get access to all of there movies etc?

[respawn40]

Well, I know my ISP (Comcast) provides free access to Usenet through GigaNews.

[yakz091]

i can say that tti has the best collection i have ever seen on any torrent tracker, except for demonoid which has some crappy speeds.
next comes kg and cinemageddon for rare non-mainstream stuff.
while ptn and tc.eu are still growing but they are doing pretty well.
i hope ptn emerges out the winner in few months time.

[deadalive1]

I use Giganews as well, by far the best. And Sgt. I couldn't believe it the other day when I got the email about the retention, a nice jump from 200 days (which I believe was the best out of all the others) to now 240 days.

[Gekko]

^ Agreed, Giganews is hands down the best provider I have ever used.

And, of course, Giganews has all my movie needs covered.

I consider myself somewhat of a minimalist (meh not really) and I use Usenet for mostly HD, but also DVDrs and XviDs. However, sometimes I can't find stuff on Usenet (which is rare, considering I don't put in a request for it) and usually it's on KaraGarga.

And yes, eight months of retention is crazy. :D

Never any speed issues, don't have to seed back (it makes me feel good inside knowing that I made the right choice with Usenet because my download speed is 1.7mb/s and upload around 40kb/s), and NZBs.

Now if only it was possible to be able to pre things on Usenet :)

Think about it .. and I was thinking about this the other day ..

Why is it that topsites and torrent sites get busted while Usenet lives on? Usenet has a backbone of about 1000000000000TB (maybe I'm making that up, but trust me thats a lot) and nothing happens to them .. and Usenet's backbone is obviously and most definitely bigger then any dump site I have ever been on.

Take that. :P

I think i am going to have to jump on this bandwagon. So what do i do? Do i just pay the $19.95 a month?

[GXice]

Usenet is excellent, but I often find it too hard to find NZB's of what I want. I can use sites like NZBsRus, where they post pre-made NZB files, but when using a place like Binsearch where you have to select about 100 files to create an NZB, thats where it gets confusing for me.

I guess if NZB's were as easy to find as torrents, I would use Usenet more. Any tips?

$19.95 is an arbitrary number. There are other providers then Giganews, don't get me wrong, I just feel (and I'm sure Sgt. and others here do also) that Giganews is THE BEST.

(By the way, I think it's $19.95 for the first month then $24.95 afterwards. :))

Your best bet is to check out the Usenet section.

PM me if you have anymore questions mate.

GXice: What do you mean? While NZBs are somewhat like torrents, they are not exactly the same. (obviously)

You don't need to download a NZB for everything that you want to download. I usually either

a) update headers frequently
b) use NewsLeecher (or BinSearch if you don't have NewsLeecher) with SuperSearch and download from there.

You do not need to use NZBs for everything you need .. in fact, the reason people bitch about the pretimes of things on Usenet is because of the slow NZB creation .. however, things are uploaded to Usenet but up to a couple hours later is the NZB made. This is why headers are helpful.

Did that help or did I not answer you question at all? :)

/me ponders

[pone44]

How so? Limited to certain areas or not?



Well, I know my ISP (Comcast) provides free access to Usenet through GigaNews.

[lsw0794]

i use demonoid,zamunda,scc,tl
it's enough,everything can get in this trackers

[deadalive1]

For the top of the line @ Giganews it's $19.95 for the first month and $29.95 from there on out.

[GXice]

a) update headers frequently
b) use NewsLeecher (or BinSearch if you don't have NewsLeecher) with SuperSearch and download from there.


I dont have unlimited monthly download quota, so I can't really download headers all the time. It chews up too many MB's. Other than that, I'll looking into NewsLeecher. Thanks. :yup:

[formos]

great site for movies is goem-more than 5k torrents

[Swift]

most tracker have lots of movies depends what are you looking for

tehconnection is the only one I know specialised on movies :D

[SgtMajor]

I've still got their email saying retention is going to be 90 days :P


Well, I know my ISP (Comcast) provides free access to Usenet through GigaNews.

Normally limited retention, speed capped & connections reduced.

Don't take an ISPs version of Giganews over a purchased account from Giganews, two totally different things.


^ Agreed, Giganews is hands down the best provider I have ever used.

Can't disagree with any of that :whistling

a.b.kg rocks big time as well :cool:


I think i am going to have to jump on this bandwagon. So what do i do? Do i just pay the $19.95 a month?

You need a client (like utorrent is to torrents, newsleecher & newsbin are clients I use for usenet), Giganews is akin to a BT Site, there are other options of which all are prob cheaper, but retention & speed are words you will get to know and Giganews just beats all others on them 2 scores hands down.

I use newsleecher for searching for files & filenames, and I use Newsbin for downloading headers for my favourite groups as not everything gets reported.

You need a par2 recovery tool for repairing RAR files, but it is no different to downloading from a torrent site - the resultant files are exactly the same.

Once you figure out usenet and how to search properly, you will not look back.


Usenet is excellent, but I often find it too hard to find NZB's of what I want. I can use sites like NZBsRus, where they post pre-made NZB files, but when using a place like Binsearch where you have to select about 100 files to create an NZB, thats where it gets confusing for me.

I guess if NZB's were as easy to find as torrents, I would use Usenet more. Any tips?

I only use NZBs as a last resort, use the search functions, as not everything gets reported anyway, tons of material is just sitting there not indexed.

Filename search is the best way for beginners, copy the filename from wherever you need to, drop it into your search engine (I use newsleecher with supersearch) and bingo, take BitmeTV eps, it is always on usenet first, find the filename from the torrent, search - highlight - download - unrar, no need to seed back and you can be watching it before others have downloaded it from BitmeTV.

Newzbin.com is a nzb site I use, only because I have done for years, might be better available but I am so used to how they do things it does me.

[Aoxamoxa]

I think Goem is underrated and is an excellent source for movies. As is Zamunda...The smaller, private movie trackers are nothing in comparison.

[Gekko]

Can't disagree with any of that :whistling

a.b.kg rocks big time as well :cool:

I forgot about a.b.kg ahah. ^_^

Thanks mate.

If anyone has any questions, PM Sgt, he seems to know his shit. :P

[deadalive1]

Newzbin.com is a nzb site I use, only because I have done for years, might be better available but I am so used to how they do things it does me.
I myself use .binsearch , newzleech (which is the one I started out on) and Merlin's. And lol @ still having the email with the 90 day retention. :P
