Ace-HD

[maj0r_pawnage]

Hey guys I just joined this new(and by new I mean like it opened yesterday) tracker called Ace-HD. There are already 100+ torrents there and so far it looks like it has the potential to become an amazing HD site. I've tried two torrents so far and the speeds have been outstanding for a new site( I regularly max out my FIOS home connection) Anyways, I thought I would just let you guys know about this up and coming site. What do you guys think of it so far, and thoughts and comments on this site?

Here is the signup link http://www.acehd.net/signup.php

Okay I'm going to paste the Review onto here too :-D.

Hello and welcome to my review of the new HD tracker, Ace-HD. So this is a brand new HD tracker that is connected to AceTorrents.net(staffed by many of the same people). Both Scene and P2P HD releases are encouraged. In addition, the entire site is currently FREE LEECH.

Site Stats

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh243/maj0r_pawnage/statsacehd-1.jpg
Although it is brand new, I feel it has the potential to become a great HD tracker for a few reasons. It already has 230 torrents in ~72hours*, ~800* users, and many people can attest to the site's consistently great speeds.

Here are a few screens from the site.

As you can see it has a very clean design that is free from the clutter you see on most sites.( There are also seven different background colors )BTW PR0N is allowed,HOWEVER, for those users who do not like it there is the option to turn it off during the signup :-D
Forum

Here is a pic of the forum.

User Classes
And the user classes.

VIP Bonus
There is also a very generous GB credit for donating, making it relatively easy for those without the best connections to maintain a great ratio.(Although we prefer high BW users)

Arcade
There is also an arcade with a lot of fun games! Including black jack where you can play for either fun, 100, 500, 1000, 3000, or even 5000 MB upload credit.

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh243/maj0r_pawnage/hdarcade.jpg

So far I would say the community is great, there is also an IRC channel+ help channel. TBH I have not seen on negative comment about this site so far, everything in the shoutbox and forums has all been positive. So come be a member of this great community ! :D

thx for the heads up.
i am sure this will prove to be helpful for loads of HD buffs over here.

Looks interesting. It might sound strange, but there never are enough HD sites. But being the suspicious type, I'll wait to check it out. Who knows if it's an MPAA sting site. :P

Oh no! Don't say that :p. It is staffed by many of the great staff from Ace Torrents which has been up nearly three years :)

I can post more pictures if you guys would like, just mention which part of the site.

[n00bz0r]

why dont you make a review of the tracker? A detailed one?
that should help loads of guys.

Well I'm sure most know I was kidding. :happy: I figured it was connected to Ace Torrents by the name.

Yes I was planning to do that tomorrow(I have a final today), thanks for the tip though.

In the mean time here is a pic of the main screen with a different color.

It seems to be a scene only site. Is that intended, or are you going to allow P2P HD content (from groups like ESiR, EuReKA, CtrlHD, WiKi etc.) also?

[maj0r_pawnage]

Yes P2P HD content is allowed and encouraged.

[shipwreck]

Good choice. :)

I'll check it out. As Stellar said, there (almost) can never be enough HD sites. :) Best of luck with the site.

[sake]

I`ll check it right now. The sign up page looks good. THank you buddy.

[jaapaap]

Looking nice

[drew]

Sweet, thanks.

[maj0r_pawnage]

Woohoo, almost 200 users and 200 uploads in one day!


Here is a picture of some of the cool arcade games, I haven't tried all of them yet, but I know you can play for up to 5GB hands of blackjack.

[shipwreck]

Just wanted to add my first impressions. I really like the clean layout of the site, it's not overloaded with crap, which is good.

And I actually like the fact that you guys allow BDRips / BRRips also. While they may not be strictly 'HD', I think that they are still pretty useful, particularly if you don't know a movie and want to get a first impression, before wasting gigabytes on a 1080p/720p rip or BluRay ISO even.

Packs® come in handy also, of course. I know certain individuals who only join sites because of packs®...

Speeds are very good from my limited experience. All in all, the site looks pretty promising. :)

[tommyboy]

Thanks

I agree there can never be enough HD sites

[maj0r_pawnage]

Thanks

There can never be enough great HD sites :-D

Okay guys I made the more detailed review of it, tell me what you think, ask if you want to have anything added or discusses in more detail.

Are we allowed upload p2p hd??

[sake]

I think that i liked it. I`ll start using it when more seeders and leechers appear :)

So ... till then i will be waiting :)

[maj0r_pawnage]

We already have quite a few uploaders with great boxes :-D. But yes the site does need to grow more, but 1250 users for 72hours is nothing to scoff at :).

And yes p2p HD releases are allowed and encouraged :), only apply to be an uploader if you have over 250kb/s ul only plz.

[OscWil]

Thanks man. Seems to be a good HD-tracker!

[swizZ8]

thank you for your great effort, we all hope that ace-hd will be excellent tracker in future

[maj0r_pawnage]

Thanks a lot swiz :D

[darknight65]

hehe the packs are awesome so far great work, esp the Underworld.Trilogy.720p.Bluray.x264-AceHD lol i was looking for this everywhere

[Roooney]

Think this tracker has huge potential. Always nice to see HD-trackers, hope Ace-HD can challenge other HD-trackers in pretimes and content, will be great for the members:)

Think I will wait to sign up for this tracker, already have HDBits, HD-B.ro, SceneHD and Bithd-tv:)

[jsncross]

Hello,
I am staff at Ace-HD and just wanna mention that we are currently looking for new uploaders that can provide both scene and non scene high definition content. If you think this is you and you have a high speed connection in which you can seed from, please contact a member of staff. Unfortunately we are only accepting applications from people who have 5Mbit upload speed minimum as most content is fairly large and we want to offer the best speeds possible.

[Roooney]

Welcome staff-at-Ace-HD. Would love to be an uploader some day, but my upload speed isn't good enough:(
Keep up the good work and good luck with your new tracker!

[maj0r_pawnage]

according to that speedtest in your sig you are qualified to become an uploader lol

[sake]

according to that speedtest in your sig you are qualified to become an uploader lol

Hah :) yeah :naughty::D

The answer is in the "distance" maybe :)

[maj0r_pawnage]

:partytime

we should have 2000 users by tomorrow :O, thats in less than a week :-D thanks for the support guys :-)

[darknight65]

haha yes their staff is very helpful :P hello jsn

[fester32]

Hi guys, i'm staff at Ace-HD and i'd like to welcome all our new members.
The site is growing fast!
We are uploading new content all the time and don't forget we are running FREE LEECH so there's no excuse not to join and get downloading and seeding. :-)

[LubTheStaringCat]

It looks good.

[realityhd]

Lots of new hd trackers have popped up lately. Frankly I don't find any of them to offer anything beyond what more general sites have. The peer numbers are lower too due to smaller userbase.

This design is nice and you have some experience, so maybe that will help, but I'm skeptical since I don't think the main site is really successful.

[maj0r_pawnage]

woohoo ;p Registered Users 2,035/19,000

The main site isn't really successful? :huh:
A few stats - It's got nearly 21,000 members, 6,217 torrents (71 added today and all hosted on gigabit seedboxes), seed/peer ratio of 1820%, nearly 600 active leechers at this exact moment, 1900 forum topics containing 30,000 posts and our irc channel usually has ~200 members. How is it not successful?

[realityhd]

I almost never hear it mentioned anywhere near as much as other beginner sites. And 9000 or so peers on a 20k userbase is very mediocre, but that's what happens when you leave signups open and don't prune I guess.

[maj0r_pawnage]

Can we keep this thread about HD please :-D

[jsncross]

OK I just wanted to mention that we at http://www.ace-hd.net/signup.php are still offering FREE LEECH and are still looking for UPLOADERS. I know that registration is currently open but when you register if you would like some invites for your friends just pm me on site and I will be more than happy to give you some. Just find me VIA http://www.ace-hd.net/staff.php
Thanks,
jsncross

[Lincoln]

What does it have to offer that any of the other 4242341905 HD trackers don't? No one will trump HDBits, and even though it's closed atm there are still plenty of other HD trackers out there with great content and encoders.

[sake]

It`s a good news that there are so many HD trackers. It`s better to be more than to be less, right? :)

[maj0r_pawnage]

Well some people must see something :-D, other wise there wouldn't be people with multi GBit boxes volunteering to upload on this site. We have great speeds, a nice design, and non-troll staff. The site is growing quickly and I think, according to many people, even though its new, it is doing well so far.

[sake]

Very well. Keep on :)

[Luku]

Thanks, another good hd tracker

[sez]

Hmmm, I'm on 2 packs. Each with one seed which is the same OVH box, and I'm hitting 15 kb/s on each torrent :stick1: I guess the whole site is running off of this box.
is that still the situation?

[maj0r_pawnage]

Where did you get that quote from? And lawl, it appears that guy who was complaining about acet was no more than a troll, hence the disable. Anyway, back to the point, no there are many different boxes on the site and I haven't seen one person complain of low speeds, I think it would probably be a problem on their end if they are getting 15kb/s as I regularly max out my fios.

I call shennagans on that quote. lol No we have several boxes tbh.


I just wanted to thank all that have joined so far.

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh243/maj0r_pawnage/acehddl.jpg

Here is an SS of speeds from Ace-HD just from tonight, and there were plenty of other things dling... :frusty:

In case you don't feel like expanding the image, its 3.6mb/s.

[realityhd]

What kind of porn are you downloading? ;)

To clear up anything I said above, I think the site has potential, but there have been a flood of HD sites lately and none have really taken off as far as I can tell. Even the more established, older sites have their flaws.

Good luck to you guys, but I'll reserve judgment until there are better indications of success. Having a few seedboxers upload to a handful of leechers is nothing impressive these days. Whenever a new site comes out, a bunch of people jump in full force (I've done so myself) to try and get it established. More often than not the excitement fades in a few weeks/months.

[darknight65]

haha yah i am getting amazing speeds off here, may be cuz the site is still new so not that many leech , about 2200 user so far,but its the best speed this torrenting noob has gotten :P

[fester32]

You will always get amazing speeds off ace-hs as we have quite a few gigabit seedservers ;-)

[maj0r_pawnage]

hehe ye the speeds pwn, any more comments and ideas to make the site better would be appreciated :-D

[zetah]

Keep on bro, You are giving great efforts

[maj0r_pawnage]

The domain was changed from www.ace-hd.net to www.acehd.net, however www.ace-hd.net will still redirect to the site. This was also the reason for the short tracker downtime today. Just a heads up :p

[swizZ8]

thnx for info

[maj0r_pawnage]

Okay updated links. And remember guys the whole site is free leech so why not sign up :-D.

[maxehhh]

The site is great, and i think they are going to be around for a long time, so go on and sign up :).

[jsncross]

We have now closed registration. Thanks to all who have joined.

[Nemrod]

It´s from the same people of ACETorrents.
Excellent staff. One of the coolest I know, I wish the site best of the lucks.

[Dieza]

To late! Ah well, good luck to the site and enjoy your stay to those who got in.

From: System sent on: 2009-07-27 15:51:14

We are aware alot of you have friends/family who are very egar to get in! but we are trying to keep the site pritty exclusive... and we have alot of requests for invites... but we have denied everyone them up to now!!! but starting from now for every $30+ donation.. we will supply 1 invite....
if you catch you selling invites then the account will be terminated straight away... selling invites is against or rules...!!

For those who thinks this is unfair then please dont as i have said we want to keep the site exclusive... but in the future we may i stress may give some invites out to our best users.... when we do we will update you on this situation ^_^

thanks
//Staff

NOTICE: This is a mass pm, it has been sent to everyone


It`s been only a month since they opened ... and 30$ is not a small amount of money for an invite. What do you think? :naughty: :frusty:

[whiteboy]

$30 are you kidding me, its not even that much on sct which has obviously been around a tad bit longer.
I thought the site was ok, but man they really through me for a loop with this one, theres not even 1000 torrents.

I could probably go sign up at 5 hd sites that are open with more torrents then this site, why would I want to pay???

[jsncross]

we dont sell invites for $30.. what we are saying is those who help the site, deserve to be rewarded... the reason why we don't give every donator invites is cause we dont want sh*t users getting invites just to make dupe accounts... we will never sell invites... its simply a reward.... and there is over a 1000 torrents and i think its pritty good to say we been open less that 3 months..

Well that makes sense. It just seems that nobody "sells" invites. Every site that "offers" them as an extra through donation says the same thing.

Its just kind of a turn off imo but I'm just one guy so it doesn't really matter. I'm already in so it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't donate if they were $1.

The site does have potential and hopefully it gets big. It seems like there are a number of newer HD sites trying to find their place right now. At least this one is backed by some people who have been in the game for a while.

[realityhd]

"but starting from now for every $30+ donation.. we will supply 1 invite...."

Supplying something in consideration of a payment is clearly a sale.

The price for an invite is way too high and I predict you will have to drop it if you want to reach your donation goals.

[kitano]

If anything, the invites would be dropped altogether - it's simply an additional "extra" you get for donating (and its not unusual for any torrent sites out there to offer the same thing), its not the only thing those users get an its far from being the main reward donators get. The site is not in a hurry to add new users, it was merely a suggestion from some users which have been implemented.

[sake]

I will donate 20$ and i will become a ScT member ... but i won`t of course. I just simply won`t pay for such a think. I will pay only for a better internet connection. Sorry guys :)

It was a strange decision - a new torrent site and you want money ... don`t you think that it`s too soon? There are a bunch of HD trackers, free sign up, everything just for free. I think that your politic is not good. It`s just my own opinion, nothing more.

Success with the tracker. No bad feelings at all. Cheers to all of you.

[jsncross]

we are not after money at all... its simply to benifit those who help the site nothing more... i dont see whats wrong with giving people extra for the donations the make to the site... if we were in it for the money which we aint since the owners pays the shortfall from his own pocket... dont u think we would put adverts on the site and ask users to donate to get rid of them... but as i say we are not... whats so wrong with giving our donators extra stuff and make them feel even more valued... because its ppl like them that HELP keep the site alive then there are ppl who just go round flaming ppl.... we dont care if ppl donate tbh we just ask them to seed to an acceptable level and not to break the site rules... we spent alot of time getting the site togther then for people like ya self... who prob dont run a site and dont relised how hard it is.. i find it insulting... i have said all i am gonna say.... and lets just drop this now.. please

But there is no "payment to become a member" its simply a reward for current members who are donating, since its only fair that those helping to pay for the site costs get some little extras (donating less that that also provides members with extras, an invite just isnt one of them) - we're not forcing anyone to donate, we're not in any hurry to get new members.

Giving people rewards for donating is pretty much the same everywhere, we're hardly begging for donations, simply informing users that the rewards for donating has been updated - as for being a new site and wanting money, its hardly a plee for money - if people think the site is good enough to donate, thats great, if not, as long as they're seeding and following the rules, thats great also.

It's hardly a big deal - all of a sudden because an invite is involved as one of the many rewards for donating, it now becomes a terrible thing?

[1000possibleclaws]

I don't think "selling" invites is a big deal, or a problem at all for that matter. As long as people want to buy them and it keeps the tracker costs paid for, it's nothing anyone should complain about. In my opinion it's a better alternative tot rackers who routinely spam the users' inboxes with threats of shutting down if they don't get donations met. I'd say it's also much better than tracker's that give upload credit upon donation, because that screws up the ratio economy.

[sake]

Everybody has it`s own opinion. I didn`t want to insult anybody. Good night to you all (here is +2GMT) :)

[realityhd]

I wish all sites would just let you pay for access and pay for invites for friends or whatever. It works much better for me.

I only question the value of $30 placed on an invite. The reasoning provided either here or in the thread on site was that donors of nominal amounts should not be able to get invites and create dupe accounts is such a spurious argument that I have to question the decision making.

Any site operator can give donors whatever they like to make them feel special, but the way it was phrased was that you were offering invites to donors right after the statement that invites are in demand.

All that said, I haven't downloaded anything from the site so I'm sure I'll be pruned soon enough. :(

[maj0r_pawnage]

hey well, I left out something, we also have a folding team if anyone is interested joining the team :-d. there is a lot more information about it in the forums and the irc room #acefolding is a great place for more info too <3

Hi, I don't know where to go with this, but I got banned from AceHD today and I don't know why. I had been with them over a year, I had a 2:1 ratio and I never had any problems. How do I contact any of the staff when Im not allowed in the site?

[anon]

Jungleboy and cherryman69 are both Ace-HD staff and members here, so you can wait until they see your post and reply. IRC would be a faster solution, if they have a disabled channel (there's nothing in the respective sticky here).

It is now allowed to have three accounts.

[The_Wire]

Thank you for your presentation maj0r.
Do you know if there are any internal encoding groups or if they intend to have in the future?
Some HD trackers today are considered to be very good due to their internal groups (like FraMeSToR, Eureka, HiDt and many more) and their awesome encoding skills.

[ignis]

where's eureka these days? those idiots have changed like 5 trackers in the past year alone...

[Cabalo]

Only eureka members give a fuck about eureka releases.
Same applies to iMAGiNE and their sorry excuse for a tracker.

[anon]

It is now allowed to have three accounts.

Then why was he banned? :mellow:

[ignis]

Only eureka members give a fuck about eureka releases.
Same applies to iMAGiNE and their sorry excuse for a tracker.
hear, hear. I've been gradually replacing eureka releases with framestor ones and only have a handful of pieces of eureka shit left :)

[The_Wire]

where's eureka these days? those idiots have changed like 5 trackers in the past year alone...
right now they are in HDT, they are not as active as they used to be but still make enough good releases.


Only eureka members give a fuck about eureka releases.

Why is that Cabalo? can you elaborate further?
i'm not a eureka member but i find their releases pretty good.
they also have a low reframe rate with just 4-5 reframes, similar to framestor releases. They stick to dts core though, as far as sound is concerned, while framestor have gone to dtsma and are top notch by themselves in regards to sound.


hear, hear. I've been gradually replacing eureka releases with framestor ones and only have a handful of pieces of eureka shit left :)
ignis framestor is practically the old eureka group except for rabomil who decided to stay.
you could stay with your old eureka releases. not that big a difference.
Unless you really want the best sound possible (the dtsma that framestor incorporate in their releases) and unless you have a 50inch plasma tv then i doubt you will notice any differences at least not so many to start redownloading all that data to replace your old eureka releases.

Of course as far as new releases are concerned i'm also 100% with framestor, these guys have some really good skills, and their releases are a sight for sore eyes!

[cinephilia]

framestor belongs to bit-hdtv, right ?

[The_Wire]

framestor belongs to bit-hdtv, right ?

no cinephilia,
they used to belong there (bithdtv) but at some point, i think around January of 2010 they decided to move to HDME and are there until present day, they are the internal group of HDME and all of their releases is FL there.
Today all their new releases get uploaded on HDME, and step by step, their older releases from bithdtv (and chdbits, before bithdtv they were there) are also getting re-uploaded to HDME as well.
Of course you can still find most of their older releases at bithdtv.

If you like the group and their encoding you can also find some more info plus all the news about all their releases (old and new) on their site here:
http://framestor-hd.org

take care

[cinephilia]

ok, thanks for the info even though i'm not especially interested in any HD group.
