I recently joined the world of private trackers (after many years away) and am wondering if there are any good general 0-day trackers out there people would recommend?
I have signed up with a few from the listing at http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/what-trackers-offer/. However, it seems the vast majority are invite only and that those that are open are quite often not very good.
I have accounts with TorrentDay, TorrentBits, TorrentBytes & Speed.cd.
Forget about TD, let your account there die.Quote:

I plan to. Have been contributing the thread about them doubling the number of members, seeders & leachers. I signed up for TD before I knew this as it was one of the few sites accepting open signups.Quote:

Mmm...I guess you could try TopBytes. :)
Signup here while you can: http://topbytes.net/signup.php
Just get into IPTorrents,its got loads of stuff. :)
Zac090 - the point is I can't join IPT. It's closed to new signups, I don't know anyone with an invite and I don't fancy donating $20.
This is my point really, suggesting Demonoid/IPT/RevTT/TL/SceneAccess to a user like me doesn't help as we can't get in. However, if any of you know of any decent open sites where a new user can start to build up some history let me know!
Check out Torrentbytes:
http://www.torrentbytes.net/signup.php
In my opinion it's the best of the open signup general trackers. The site gets new releases in a pretty timely manner, it's easy to seed, packs are free(the best thing about the site, so you can use these to get yourself a little comfortable buffer), the layout is nice, and the forums are active. It's just an all around good site.
So for now check out Torrentbytes, then later when you're able to post in the request section of the site get into IPT(for its unbelievable content, extremely nice staff, and very active forums).
Regularly check these sites: http://www.btracs.com/ and http://opentrackers.net/
And also this thread: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...-signup-298326
Right now pisexy, topbytes, torrentbits.ro, ilovetorrents and torrentsforall are open for sign up.
You could try to a make request for IPT. I'm sure here are bunch of ppl's who have invites and torrentbytes + IPT should be enough. :]
I signed up with TorrentBytes a week or so ago. It does seem to be the best overall tracker I have found so far.Quote:

Oops, you even mentioned that in your first post. Totally glanced over it. My bad. :PQuote:

Pisexy is rather small compared to torrentbits.ro and torrentbytes. Buts its an excellent little community, afaik they specialized in dvds and stuff. Torrentbits is very fast (web and torrent both) tho the site is not fully functional.
It is likely that I will try and apply for an IPT GA at some point in the future. However, in the meantime it is pleasing to see there are still some worthwhile sites still accepting new accounts.Quote:

No, its closed now. It only seemed to stay open for a very short time.Quote:

You can download torrents without an account anyway.Quote:

However, i feel it is worth discussing the alternatives available for all the newcomers out there who are looking for a place to call their own.Quote:

He can't PM yet :)
hey i've got an IPT invite i could give you but since i cant PM or anything cuz im a noob just like you idk how to make it work... that is if you are interested
As for alternatives,I would say quit Torrentday and Speed
Why?
For Torrentday,read this
Speed.cd because it fakes axxo releases(thats what most people say :dabs: )
Go for Lasttorrents,Torrentbytes and Bitsoup.You dont need back ups if you have these three
Zac090, that's the case with Speed.cd. Compare the encoder used for their "aXXo" releases against the real thing. Also check the real person's "favorite queue" in his Demonoid profile.
I don't get this thread - I cant see any responses since I posted yesterday and yet it keeps showing as having new posts... very wierd!
Yes, the board is kind of broken at the moment. I can only see new posts in this thread by clicking "new reply" and scrolling down. :pinch:
As soon as I posted a new topic regarding my problems it sorted itself. Wierd. Gremlins in the system methinks...
Yes, I can see the new posts fine now, too. :huh:
Must have something to do with my double post yesterday, it didn't get merged together as it usually does and the thread has been playing up ever since for me until I posted that new thread.

I agree with your comments. I have given up with TD & Speed.CD.Quote:

I was also impressed by TorrentBits.ro & Lasttorrents which are both worth a try. However, TB.ro's website is still under development (no forum) & Lasttorrents requires you to upload 25gb before you can access torrents posted in the last 10 days. So they fell slightly short in my eyes.
Actually ditched LT because of the wait time. Haha. But that security policy is in place because of h&r's.
Bitsoup is one of my favorite trackers it's very fast though not gazelle-based, i max up my speed (which isnt much :D), pretimes is decent and the people there are cool and friendly. I'm sure those trackers you have will really supply all the stuff you need.
I understand their reasons and and have no problem with them doing this. However, there were enough suitable alternatives for me not to have to spend my time uploading 25gb to get access to recent torrents. They are worth a mention though - its a good site.Quote:

@OP, when you get PM priviledges in a month after signup here, pm me and I'll invite you to Demonoid, which is a must-have for any torrent user. I'll also send you an invite to TTi if you still need general 0day, because it's a pretty good one, and has nice design to boot.
TrueSounds - thanks I might take you up on your offer one day!
BitSoup & TorrentBits.ro are now closed for signups, so thats two off the list for the moment...
They open every now and them, BitSoup doing it more often than TB.ro. Check their signup page every day for a week and you should eventually find them open.
