What Invites Are Worth

This Scale Is To Rate Sites From 1 To 5

• 1 being the easiest to get an invite/account and 5 the hardest.
• This has nothing to do with the contents of the mentioned trackers.

Not all trakers will be in this list. Just some and hope others contribute to this list. If you agree to the 1 to 5 rating suggested, just add the site name and number, according to the value you think the site has. Choices are not definitive so anyone could drop an opinion. If enough users contribute to this, this could be a valuable ressource to new users looking to get into private sites and users looking for trades.

Please STOP asking the url of the below sites in this thread. Thank you.

THIS LIST SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN TOO LITERALLY. This is just to help others figure where each site stands (rarity-wise)

¤¤¤¤¤1¤¤¤¤¤
Those are the sites with open signup. Any users looking to join any of those sites can just signup.

Bitsoup, countless others, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤2¤¤¤¤¤
Those sites dont have open signup (or have o.s. only once in a while), but getting an invite to one of those should be quick and painless. Offering invites to those sites for free is the way to go, because otherwise it would just be an unfair trade.

TL, Demonoid, TD, ST, learnbits, bitspyder, the3studio, RevTT, x264, swebits, hdbits, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤2.5¤¤¤¤¤
These sites are rarer than those in the 2 category, but not quite in the 3 league.

Vipmusic, Pisexy, Horrorcharnel, TheVault, potuk, ThePlace, SCC, DM, TTi, BTMusic, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤3¤¤¤¤¤
Those sites are harder to come by, mostly due to seeding amount needed, or risks involved due to handing out invites, but still fairly easy to get, provided you have a site of the same value in return.

Bitme, Bitmetv, OiNK, FL, WB, Swedvdr, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤3.5¤¤¤¤¤
These sites are rarer than those in the 3 category, but not quite in the 4 league.

FSC, TT, IT, PT, KG, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤4¤¤¤¤¤
Getting in on those sites is a real challenge, mainly because of the small userbase of the site (and subsequently no. of users with invites) or because the site doesnt have an invite system.

FTN, E***o, ****, iPlay, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤4.5¤¤¤¤¤
These sites are rarer than those in the 4 category, but not quite in the 5 league.

FB, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤5¤¤¤¤¤
Have phun trying to get into those ;)

S**, U***, T*

syD - just 1 word - Wow

I personally think that it is quite correct in my opinion anyway...way to go!!!

WB (3)
TT(3)
potuk(3)
pisexy(4 atm):P

btw good idea...

syD your 2 cents worth a lot more...

That kind of rating doesn't make sense to me, I got my u*-* account - which is the most valiuable in the torrent market, by giving not many - invites to oink and btmusic. So I think that everyone has the right to try his luck.

I think that FSC might be in the 4 (or maybe like a 3.5) range- it has a small userbase [3000 users], so it is very hard to upload. Also- one must manually request invites, and if a mod is kind enough and your share ratios are excellent, you will get some- but thats just my opinion on that one tracker.

you admit it yourself that it is the most valuable tracker (hence my 5 rating) so what exactly are you complaining about dude?

trades are not always done by exchanging sites of equal importance (otherwise noone would ever get u***), and noone can ask users to do that, it is their own decision what they will give their invites for. i have merely listed some sites and their current trade value according to myself, ppl still do whaterver they desire with their invites.

actually, you're right, there are quite a few sites out there that are rarer than the 3 rating but not quite in the 4 league. so i think the 3.5 category is called for. i think pisexy (atm, as Xsensei noted) would fit into that category aswell.

so what exactly is your point again?

I said it already. Offer whatever you have no matter where you want to get in. If I were lucky enought to get u*-* then everyone has the chance.

I saw ppl offering all the greatest sites for u*** including TB as well as ScT and many other great sites and that's why I feel so lucky now.

@aburyach I don't see many ppl offering invites to FSC probably because those smart ones know that they can't give them to the first better person that they met. And I don't think that is so hard to upload at FSC.

@Evandro- you contribute a valid argument. You might be reffering to a recent thread of mine that involved me trading FSC invites; so I will address it here. There was only one person that I gave the invite to- and that person (not mentioning him/her here) had over 300+ posts and showed me ratios of 2+ on 4 torrent sites. Uploading at FSC is very subjective- it depends on what files you grab and your UL speed. I usually only download the files with less peers (as they are usually almost always exclusive to FSC), so seeding back can be a challenge sometimes.

I believe a site's value is more on a person to person basis, although eLSydeoN's scale can be used as a good guideline. Sometimes, people just get lucky... or meet a nice guy :)

RevTT - 2

TD - 2

Templateshares 2.5 - 3 will decrease in time

Vipmusic 2.5-3

iPlay - 3-3.5

Polish Tracker 3-3.5

FL - 3-3.5 will increase as time passes

KG - 3.5

TTi - 3.5

BTmusic 3.5-4 saw a few invite offerings lately

F*** - 4

E***o - 4

FST - Priceless

@Evandro

yep you are right, one should try to offer anything available, who knows, maybe one gets lucky (i know i have, a few times).

i just want to specify that i didnt make this rating to tell people what they should trade their invites for, that is way beyond my intentions.

if someone has for example a tb account and wants to trade it (for whatever reason) for a tl or a bitme, who's to say he can't. by that rationale, who's to say it cant be the other way around as well. as i mentioned in my previous post, people are free to do whatever they desire with the invites they have, noone claimed otherwise, and its not bad to try your luck with some more popular sites in order to get the rarer ones.
as you said it, its just a question of luck.

what this rating system was actually intended for is to give users a basic idea of the chances of success when attempting to trade a site for another. if they are in the same league, the chances are higher to complete the trade, if they are in different leagues, the chances are lower (but not nil).

That is what the user who started this thread asked for, a basic idea on the value of each site. we're not trying to make a rule here as to which user should trade what, just help those who atm have less knowledge than us. most of us who've been in the torrent "business" for some time probably already know the value of each site (roughly), but that doesnt mean we cant tell the newbies...

maybe this will give them a basic opinion on what to expect before starting a thread offering demonoid for sct.

the value of each site is not confidential now, is it :)

Thanks guys, this looks great. The idea was to have a general outline of what to expect in trades. Values of sites is different from person to person depending on what they need. Again it was a general outline.

i'd say on the whole that guide to the value of invites is a very good and accurate 1.
probably even worth a sticky, if edited right so n00bs can understand easy, and with a side note saying dont ask what the edited out names mean.

This is excellent, we less experienced (noobs) now have a idea of where we stand. I started in 1, then got into 2 and I am now in 3 so this fits me just perfect, now I can see what I need next... :)

I thought the scale looked rather good myself and was actually happy to notice that my site made a 3 temp. of course. Whatever that temp. actually stood for?

I do have just a bit to add though, sites can't always be chosen on availablity of invites and things as some site don't even have invites and work solely off amount of users and then to be able to get in you have to wait for the cleanup to run and just hope you lucky enough to make the cut.

Other sites have a small user base but, the staff make the difference in what the site may lack in other areas. Most sites with a small user base understand that they have some issues with seeding files back on the original 1:1 ratio and make allowances such as seeding bonus's or seeding rules to change the fact of reaching the 1:1 ratio as in the larger site.

I think in some cases the value of an invite is not only in the fact of how rare it is to get one but, also should be placed in the type of site it is on the inside.

To the original poster of the rating system though. I thinkit really rocked for me and was well on target for the most part although I think there were about 100 or so sites not mentioned which I know that it would have taken a lifetime to search them all out and rate them. Great job though. :) :thumbsup:

Think if this were kept up it could easily be a pin giving n00bs a simple gauge to start with. Think it would need posts cleaned out occasionally if so. Didnt notice where sites that frequently have open signups but have invites also go.That could be a 1.5 rating perhaps. As for whats on the list now TS needs to go as its not even a bt site and invites are common now...

YEah well that was my fault there RealitY. I was mistaken by the intitials that were given as I thought only BT sites were listed so, when the TS was used I refered to it as The Studio. In that case I thought of it as a good rating and yes The Studio is a torrent community and invite only now for sure. Sorry for the mistake if made. :)

Not sure now as thought it was TemplateShares though it may be TheStudio also. Guess the poster will have to clarify it. Regarding your point that many sites arent on the list think the thought is to add to them when other members mention them. Think the post could be simpler though saying the basics and most important points made so far. Points such as its just a basic outline and that trades made are up to each on their own. Then at that point the thread can be split and made into a pin. Then of course the upkeep of it as a pin is also important.

Great topic to the thread starter on this. When first reading this when posted thought this could easily be a pin with a good response. As for the response dont think it coulve been any better. Its a nice clean layout for those to read when they get access to the section...

This is so true. there are so many sites I use out there that are better than those in the 4 and 5 catagory. For example I enjoy going on TL every day looking for new files to DL!. but on sites like filelist, u*** and TB, they may be hard to get in but the quality of the files, the amount of files and seeder on TL out way those metioned. so don't always sell out your invites and think a site is better than the sites you already belong to. sometimes you will be upset at the lack of quality when you finally become a member:shutup:


Mumble, mumble:D
thanks

lol ppl always enjoy to state the obvious and conspicuous as some sort of truth only they have access to...

everybody knows u*** isnt the best site out there, merely a notch above average, but that is not the purpose of this list.

i mentioned in my first post that this rating is only intended for the value of the invite, NOT the value of the content, and still ppl post about their content value.

actually, demonoid is better than 95% of the sites listed in regards to diversity and sheer amount of content (not speed though) everyone knows that, but that is not the reason why they are looking for the rarer sites.

this is merely a outline on invite value, ppl please do understand that and try to stay on topic.

I'm waiting for suggestions of ratings of other sites not already on the list, or maybe corrections to some of the sites already posted (in case you disagree with the rating), NOT comments on content value. there are alot of threads started on that topic and this is not one of them.

so please, post your suggestions ;)

that is so coooool
and i get so much info about trackers thta i will try to get acc,invite to them
thanks

Can somebody tell me wtf means E***o and F*** ?? I hear about it first time and now u r tellin me its quite good, it is strange a little bit but anyways if u dont wanna tell the names in public PM me, i' d be grateful for the whole names without this shitty *** or links. Thx :)

you should be glad u know the first and last letter

those trackers have *** for a good reason...because they're uber private sites...and if u don't know them u don't really need to

very fair scale
but what about FTN is raised one rank as its hardly get enough

wow, great man!

i liked everything except - **-* invites were only disabled 41 weeks ago

where would u put swebits and swedvdr ?

swebits would be put around 3.5 with HIGH speed and no invite system

Swedvdr i dont know

@mariosh-
Well swebits does have 50,000 member so it might be a bit easier to get an account from someone who already has one. Also, swebits and swedvdr are very similar when comparing dvdr's.

swebits has open registration so it doesn't actually deserves 3.5 more like 3 tops...swedvdr on the other deserves a 3.5 because it doesn't have open signup and if it weren't for the invites given lately u couldn't enter the tracker unless someone gave u his acc

ScT, Datamoon, Finbytes, TB, F***, E***o, etc.

¤¤¤¤¤5¤¤¤¤¤
Getting in on those sites is almost impossible and without an enormous amount of luck it's likely you wont ever get in there.

U***

hey.. because i somehow new to the torrent worlds.. can somebody describe to me why there are asterisks in some trackers names? It's forbidden to mention their name in public?

gonik- yep, the asteriks are there so as to decrease knowledge of the site and make it more private and "secret'. The site(s) usually have rules against posting their full names, some allow you to use limited abbreviations (ScT, etc).

I don't really see the point of this thread. Invites aren't worth anything, it's the luck of the draw and other users you communicate with that influence your chances in getting an invite to certain trackers. Begging strangers, and trading invites to petty trackers won't influence how you receive an invite at all.

well i have something to say
i know that this topic is about the rare not the content but why even some one want to have an invite to a tracker that is rare to have account then not using it it happened with me i don't even care if my account got burned cause i don't use them
i don't want to talk any more respecting the idea of this thread

I think Oink is now harder to get than bitme and bitmetv, just due to their new rule about cheaters and bad ratios. I used to give out Oinks and Bitmes for free, but now I only give out bitme.. because I'm scared :).

So oink should be a 3.5.

Me too, I have 10 of them, and have only given out 3, and they were only to personal friends and relatives.
No way i want to get kicked for inviting someone I dont know.
And no-one has received a F**R invite from me, and it is highly unlikely they will unless they heve something that will make me extremely happy!

There is no point in giving you links to these sites as they are invite only....and invites are scarce. It will not give you any more information about the sites than you have now.
