I'm a long time IPT user and really haven't found a good alternative. I don't have accounts to some of the other popular trackers such as TL, SCC, etc. Until these sites have open enrollments, is there a good alternative thats easier to get into that are as good quality. Thanks for all the help
You won't get much better than IPT, contents wise. You might find faster, with more retention, etc, but the variety there is huge.
Honestly, when I introduce my friends to the torrenting world is via IPT (very easy to seed and keep a ratio) and preto.me (because it's ratioless, and they just have to keep the client open).
The only ones who came asking me for more stuff were the ones who needed HD movies and music. Other than that, they need anything else.
maybe torrents.ru and zamunda.
Why no love for TL :(
I think TL is a great alternative to IPT thats very similar in content.
In terms of content I have found many things on TL I can't seem to find on IPT, even though IPT seemingly has 4-5x as many torrents. Perhaps I'm just lucky in terms of what I'm searching for, but TL always manages to have what I'm looking for.
It's also incredibly easy to keep a ratio. With over 180k users, theres always someone downloading a torrent, no matter how obscure it is. With just a couple of year old season packs I can consistently max my upload.
And finally, I find the speeds and retention to be a lot better than IPT and PTM. With the highest usercount, you can find multiple seeders for even the oldest of files, and there are just enough seedboxes on new torrents to allow you to max your DL quickly while still allowing you to upload to the plethora of non seedbox users.
In short, I think TL is a great alternative if you're looking for something different.
Thanks, Cabalo. IPT has been great to me, as I love the site. I just thought that they might have a good alternative. Do you think TL is any better?
contents wise, no. In speed and retention, yes, definitively .Quote:

All trackers are different. It's hard to say which is better when you're comparing good sites.
TL has a simple interface, a large userbase and both scene and p2p content. It's also got wait times for new users and is seen as insecure because lots of folks get ISP letters and they seem to demand donations to an extent.
Preto.me is easy to seed but has no ratio pressure really. They don't have any of the bad things either. They also have a particularly high amount of activity on x264 torrents if that's your thing. The lack of activity on x264 was the reason I haven't used my IPT invite to its full potential.
My honest opinion IPT>TL>RevTT( although RevTT kicks TL's ass in some important ,at least to me ,ways)>SCC(sorry fanbois) I let my account at Pretome lapse since I wasn't using it( at the time there were a lot of music torrents which I didn't need on a general tracker)Didn't fancy Bitsoup
Never been a member of TV. Leecherslair is a pretty decent site imo though.
Everyone's tastes are different though so what I like doesn't necessarily apply to you ( see unlike TT I don't care about HD)..
I like the hd material and for that tv is great. There pretimes and speed are fantastic. On the downside there really only good for new releases and there forums suck. I use bithdtv for movies older then a couple of months. Tv has recently changed there coding and hopefully now there will be no more downtimes
I do care about HD and I like HD stuff and want it with romanian subs and don't need foreign trackers for that . I do not have TL nor IPT nor RevTT and I'm fine without them.
Good luck trying to convince users that a tracker is better then others :lol:
