Good Torrent Site and Speed Increase

Wow, I believe its been like 2 or 3 years since I have been on this forum...this is where I learned almost everything I know about computers.

I have always used torrentspy.com for torrents and it was AWESOME. However, now I can't use it because I'm in the U.S. What is a good site that is similiar to that? I've used torrentreactor some but it doesnt seem near as good.

Also, I live in a luxury student living place for college...its call the cambridge. Its like a dorm but a lot nicer and more amenities etc. Im sure all of the connections in the room are running through a router and its restricting my torrent speed to about 1Kb/s..anyone know anyway to speed that up?

Well a college connection will always be a piece of shit, not to bring you down or anything. But if you can somehow find a way to get a port open (which is really hard) then it MAY help you out. And you can always use the good ol' pirate bay. Or I can invite you to demonoid if you get your upload speed fixed =p

if you thought torrentspy was good, check out almost any private general tracker :) Even semi-private like demonoid is a step up...you should check it out, it should be easy to find an invite.

Yeah I always forwarded the port through my router at home and got kick ass speeds...I guess I'm just stuck...

its not much, but PM me if you want a digitalhive invite. Its a general tracker.
For the speeds, try going into the client options, and set encryption to Forced. Also try changing your port to a new number, sometimes this helps.

tl is the best general 0day tracker with excellent speed and contents, very well seeded as well.


as for speed..........?

ScT and TL is best !
their speed is very good also!

TL would have been good if they didn't close up their invites. ScT might be a little harder to get =P

lol i agree but there is so many great tracker out that you dont need sct or tl....i just hope to see more users on sct

Idk...none of those seem as good as spytorrent. I loved that site. Thanks to the guy that told me about changing the ports and forcing the client thing. I cant find an option in bittornado for the client thing.

Move over to Utorrent as I think its way better then bittornado and also uses a hell of alot less resources.

torrentleech, right. it's a very good tracker for all kind of scene releases, movies, tv etc.

it has fast download speeds and is very easy to seed back even if you are on a slow connection.

unfortunately they closed their invites a few days ago, so the only way to join at the moment is to pay money.

i suggest you take a look around some trackers that have open signups and wait for tl to open their invites again.

Hell, Its well worth the money for a good site, IF I could download fast and take advantage of it, but getting only 1Kb/s right now that doesn't sound reasonable. Also, with a tracker you have to pay money to use, it seems like there would be LESS available because members have to pay meaning less members...seems kinda weird.

I haven't found any trackers near as nice as torrentspy.com though really. It always had new music, games, movies, etc.

torrentspy is not a tracker, but more a search engine for public trackers.
i would strongly recommend not to use public trackers.
if you want to do so, use the piratebay.

btw don't worry tl has enough members.

Well I never had any problems using torrentspy. I would buy a membership to tl, but with 1kb/s downloads its just not worth it i guess.

how about http://btjunkie.org/ .. its an indexing site like torrentspy .. :D

I say mininova,demonoid,torrentreactor,thepiratebay.... are similiar to that. :)

Hi, I'm new to bittorrent downloads. I have installed bitcomet and utorrent on my pc, but can't get speeds faster than 50-60 kbs. I keep hearing stories of super fast speeds but have yet to experience it. I don't see where the problem is because if I download, say a file from microsoft download centre, I can get speeds up to 1200 kbs. Any pointers on how to increase my speeds or good sites to go to? I currently use btjunkie and mininova on torrentpond for my downloads.

Thanks in advance
