Blackcats-Games Review

BCG has never been frequent for signups. Back in 07/08 it was completely closed with no invites, then it started opening sporadically in intervals which let a few members in at a time, but quite frequently. Now it seems to open up every so often but when its open its easy enough to just sign up, you dont have to refresh or anything. Well this is going by their news announcements, it might be a little different in reality.

Point being, you should bookmark the signup page and check back every day or so if you really want an account. You're either very lucky and with a friend who happens to have a referral, or else you'll have to be very dedicated. Worth it for the best source in video game warez, and when you're in you'll treasure your account.

Are you sure about being completely closed in 2007? I remember making an account there back in the day, to get a game pack they had and I couldn't find elsewhere. Lost it to inactivity.

During the mid-2008 flickering open signups, you had to be fast. There were even tutorials on how to quickly complete the process using Check4Change and that auto form filling addon for Firefox.

Wow, amazingly old review, but I love the site anyways.

well torrent sites cant really win can they.

too many seedboxes on the site. hard to seed back.

old torrents are slow

but the only way to have fast old torrents with 1-2 seeders, are if seedboxes are on them, and then if they are, its hard to seed back that old torrent, because the seedbox bullies you out of seeding. so its the 1st problem all over again.

we cant please everyone all the time. (but we try with our SP system)

Thats right ! It's hard to keep a good ratio for user with bad connections like 2000er DSL.If any tracker use seed points it will be easier.

off-topic: how come my DL shows 7.83 GB while 2 days ago it was around 11.80 GB ? :unsure:

Did you download one of the recycled torrents. When you have seeded it back the download comes off the global ratio.

Actually, it's when you have seeded it for a certain amount of time. You don't actually have to seed any data.

no but it goes quicker if you do, cost goes down so you need less SP which means SP-Cost is less, so less seeding time to get a 1:1 or in this case, download taken off/upload (not SP upload) kept on your Global/Actual ratio.

so if you do upload, you get to keep it, and you seed for less time to get the download taken off.

I love BCG rules, especially SP system :)

a very good tracker and very nice.

can anyone please help me get into Blackcats-games.net?
i have heard it is a very good tracker

Well, how about you read the rules? Asking for invites in this section will get you banned.

Secondly, there are no BCG invites, and account giveaways/trading will get it disabled. So just wait until they open signups, which I think happened very recently.

BCG is good not great :P

which tracker is great, i bet there are not many if any that are great in everything.

we tend to pride ourselves on retention, not shown off here but

PC|Windows 4404
PS2 1606
PS3 951
PSP 1365
XBOX 360 1493
Wii 2714
DS 864

Not sure many places can match that, yes music trackers will have more torrents, so will movie trackers, but then there are a lot more albums/movies out there than games (and older systems are usually in packs IE we have got all 30,000+ C64 games probaby but they will be in 1 torrent, not 30,000+ torrents)

the last time i posted here
it was a desperate plea for an invite (silly me, there are none)
and had my ass warned for that

now i am proud and happy to say that i am finally a part of this great community called BlackCats

please allow me to present my views from a beginner's perspective in the BCG

the DL speeds are good
the pre times are moderate(i couldn't care less, i am willing and happy to wait a few hours)
the content is awesome, 2nd only to Demonoid maybe
retention is fabulous i found every game that i didn't find anywhere else (Example: Darkstar 1)
the ratio is fair for low Upload bandwidth users like me
the community is great, it feels good to be among like minded people who can and are wiling to help you in case of trouble

p.s.
i may sound like a fanboy here
but Demonoid and BCG are the only two trackers i hold in highest regard
i am a member of many high profile trackers like TL,IPT,BG,PTM etc
but they wont be able to wean me off these two heayweights

Hmm, interesting.. let me check this one out..

Freeleech:

There is no freeleech but the bonus system makes it not needed.


Bonus System:

The bonus system is called seed points and it's one of the best bonus systems out there. It allows you not to worry about downloading a large torrent, no matter of your current ratio.

Invites:

Invites are called referrals and they are given automatically to members that meet the following requirements:

Torrents with a Global Ratio of 1 >= 50
Torrents with an Actual Ratio of 1 >= 25
Torrents with an Actual Ratio of 1.5 >= 10
Torrents with an Actual Ratio of 2 >= 5
Your own uploaded torrents, this encompasses requests filled and own torrents in your table >= 2
Average Seeding Time >= 10 days
Member 6 months
50 gig downloaded

There is also a referral request thread in the forums for which you would need:

- at least a member for 6 months
- no HnRs
- up to 2 "seeded HnRs"
- actual ratio of 0.5 <-- this may be changed sometime depending on the number of requests
- none of your old referrals may be Kitty Litter or worse (banned, etc.).
- not more than 1 orphaned account or unused account (ie. referred someboy into the site and that person doesn't even have a single torrent downloaded)
- 1 referral per month (with special announced days adding up the usual count....like birthdays or whatever)
- not too many warnings in your history <-- This can only be checked by staff
- 25 completed torrents
- Having said thanks on your torrents.
- 10 days average seeding time OR several uploaded torrents
- have at least a few forum posts....so that this request is NOT your first. And those post should be from the month BEFORE this request takes place. -------> changed to at least 30 spread in a good manner, ie. not all from last month or last week when you decided to get referrals via requesting.


Forums and Community:

The forums are quite large and have a fair amount of activity. They run monthly competitions, especially in the design section.

Ratings and Comments:

Content: 9.5/10 - There's hardly anything you won't find on BCG and for those which fall under that category requests are filled in a matter of days
Speed: 8/10 - Some of the older torrents are slow
Community: 7/10 - The forum provides a great environment for a great community, but somehow I feel activity could be a lot better


Commentary:

Blackcats-Games is THE games tracker. With unrivaled content, great speeds and decent pretimes it's one place every dedicated gamer should be in. The support is really good and quite fast, can't say I have had much to report though. The great seed bonus system allows even those with the worst connection speeds to keep a positive ratio. Whatever your drug, PC, XBOX, PS2, Wii or PSP - BCG is the place that has it all.

How to get invited for this?

You don't. In the best-case scenario you're chosen.
