We also have a TTL (42 days) on torrents, which means once the TTL expires the torrent is removed from the tracker.
Only the pack uploads (Movies/Tv/Games/Music) don't have a TTL, the packs will stay on the site for as long as they have seeders (and will be Free Leech at all times).
I meant Tbits (typo) aka Torrentbits, aka one of the very few bittorent cores back in 2003.Quote:

If you're asking that it's because you haven't been around the BitTorrent world long enough. ;)Quote:

Ah! The sign-up process... took me a good 10 times to sigh-up when I tried...
I think the message that they try to pass with this sing-up process is...
The harder the effort to get something... the more you'll enjoy it later :lol:
They are very spiritual people :P
Freeleech:) Like Ali G: R-E-S-T-E-C-P:lol:

Well it's certainly showing ok, just type in the code (written in blue) and it will either then take you to the signup page or inform you if the limit is currently reached.

I recently joined the site, and I love it! I remember trying a year or so to get one, with no luck, but it was surprisingly easy this time around. As soon as I clicked sign up, there was a space available. I guess I was just lucky with my timing. Make sure you click on the FAQ and the other link, and do the password exactly as they say, and you'll be fine.
I've got the message "enable refferers in your firewall or browser to see the confirmation code"
2-3 years ago , there was TiT , TB and Filelist which were the best 3 sites . TiT and TB had great communities while FL was like a ScT , having lots of contents . after 3 years , we see TB having a amazingly strong comeback , FL unfortunately doesnt have its previous charm at all . just hope TiT comes back . TiT was da community !
FL is still good , just that it does not have fast pretimes . speed is excellent and is easy to seedback as well . but this thread is about TB and let's not deviate from that. lets keep the discussion confined to ' the site of the moment ' that is TB . incidentally , for all the people with average to slow uploads...... now is the time to build up a buffer at TB .
I remembered back 'in the day' when I joined TB getting the signup code right was always a bitch.... and as soon as u got one right they reached the then max limit of 50k so had to try again...... needless to say getting in eventually with the code right was quite gratifying..... just keep on trying..... ull get one of the codes right!!!Quote:

@bid888 if your using Firefox you enable referers like this:
In the address bar, Type 'about:config' in the url address bar.
A whole pile of information will appear in the browser window. (It's an alphabetical list).
Look for 'network.http.sendRefererHeader'
By default, this should be set at 2
If it is set to 0 - which disables sending referrers - right click it, select 'Modify' and enter 2 as the value.
For other browsers you'll have to google it as i don't use them.
too bad the site is ugly as hell, that's my only beef with it.
huh,,,what do you mean, ugly!Quote:

For those interested the user limit has been raised to 54,000 (462 free slots still available)
freeleech for that long is quite impressive.
TB is an amazing site and im glad this freeleech period has brought it into the limelight again. they always have a great collection of packs which is freeleech. probably not many people notice such trackers because they are too busy chasing high level trackers. i think TB is a perfect example that you dont have to be a high level tracker to be a great tracker.
i just joined and i'm loving it
User limit raised again, now set at 55k (609 slots stillavailable)
Nice of you guys to be letting in fresh blood into the site I hope all the new members apprecitate it and take advantage of the FL to get there ratios up. :)
I fu*kin love this packs, and damn lots of leechers, keep on rollin'
Why you block all Israelis? not all of us are cheaters, you know, that's horribleQuote:

Doh! double post sorry
I Think it's wrong blocking ip:s just because they come from a country where there are many cheaters, traders and so on. I mean there are good people therefrom too
Shame on anyone for blocking an entire country.
The reason for the block wasn't just that there were several cheaters.
It was a combination of several things, the main one being account hijacking/hacking.
There was at one point 100's of accounts being hijacked per day.
Now whilst banning an entire nation was regrettable, as staff our first concern will always be to our current active members (not those who don't yet have an account) and we will do everything we can to ensure that their accounts are safe from being hijacked.
Cheaters we can handle easily with cheat detection scripts, but when your having to sort through 100's of stolen accounts and return them to their rightfull owners it leaves no other time to spend improving the site.
And as regrettable as it was to block certain isreali ranges (and not all are blocked) i can honestly say that i personally have not had a single hacked account to deal with in the past 10 months.
Everything can and will be reviewed, but if we feel the threat to our current users remains then we won't change anything.
It's not the first tracker that bans Israel, you know? Maybe you should think about that and you'll find out that the country is FULL OF CHEATERS/HIJACKERS/ETC., not saying there aren't good people in there but still..
What a nonsense...
100 accounts hijacked per day and after you blocked Israeli ip's *poof*, no more hijacked accounts for 10 months?
Let me guess that you need hacking skills to hijack an account (how else? guess passwords? and I don't think you can "scam" in order to hijack an account) so you really think that hackers or w/e won't be able to get into torrentbytes because your simple ip range block?
Come on...
one of my favorites!
TB rocks!!
@DyNast,,,guess you're israeli,,,lol
Torrentbytes Rocks ;]
