Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Sick of their bullshit rules regarding HnRs and infinite seedtime they expect from the members. If that wasn't enough, now you also get warned if you turn your PC off for 5 days and resume seeding on the 6th day, even if you have already been seeding a file for weeks. :lol:
Anyway, I'd really like to know if there are any decent alternatives to the aforementioned site where the staffers actually know what a HnR means and understand that one cant expect scene crap to be seeded indefinitely. Decent retentivity/speeds would be great.

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
torrentday is best alternative
there is filelist also
i never criticize IPT for hnr and zaping system even i advocate them but they are going too far now and hnr system becoming so confusing
they are becoming more greedy for donations.you can break any rule after donation :D
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
I second Torrentday. Most of the P2P stuff is botted over to TD from IPT in just a few minutes.
Also the freeleech is truly freeleech still. On IPT if you have to zap with upload credit your ratio might end up worse than before you started. Activity is also vastly down on IPT. The days of getting ratio every time has long gone.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
I was about to ask the same thing. The H&R system is ridiculous. I have a great ratio at iptorrents but I have a few H&Rs because I download software that is older and harder to seed. I would like to find a decent alternative that has software.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Probably torrentleech.
At least it is just seed those for 72 hours minimum.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Cool. I'll look around for an invitation to torrentday now.
Thanks for the input, guys. Much appreciated.

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Filelist.ro is great, as is Linkomanija. Sadly only VIPs can send invitations at FL right now, and I don't even know how the invite system works on LM.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
nCore and LM the only problem with LM is seeders are visible more during there evening you would see a sudden drop in seeders at late nights/mornings , though nCore is truly fantastic it can even beat pornolab to a extent when it comes to porn :naughty:
I really hate IPT but the amount of content they have is immense so single tracker can actually replace them and since they allow multiple uploads of same movie,game or tv show you can find many things there which you wont find anywhere.For LM its being sorted on basis of downloads and for nCore its sorted by seeders only on Xvid Eng Movies if i sort on all torrents the top seeded torrent has more than 8000-10000 seeders which is normal since the no of members is 515000 :D and its ratio free I would rather seed on nCore for weeks than on IPT since they actually reward you for seeding.

I forget to mention no rar shit on either site

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Users seem to be adopting a 2 tracker policy. They get most of their stuff from the lesser tracker because it doesn't have a messy hit and run or tough ratio requirements, and keep their better tracker for the rare stuff they can't get elsewhere. Some people hardly use their what.cd account, and dl mostly from rutracker for example. Some are using speed.cd as that #2 tracker to avoid using IPT for stuff they can't seed back 1:1.

Don't all you have to do is seed for like 24 hours and then "zap" it with your accumulated bonus points? I'm probably missing something but that's even more forgiving than the ratioless trackers I belong to.:unsure:
On the other hand IPT has merwais so fuck them.:@

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
I have seen people seeding for 48 hours and then zap but still getting the warning

Just because they do in the wrong way. You need to delete fist the active torrent before Zap them.
Beside that yes the actual rules on IPT sucks in a wide way. SCC has better times and the Archive section is a way better choice to get old material. Cons is hard to get an invite

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
I liked the site greatly befor they decided to start playing with what was already working. Now, I seed for several weeks and still get snagged for H&R. :idunno:

I know that but if you keep zapping them without seeding you get a warning

just let 4 warnings build up then zap them with a 5 dollar donation. :D

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
ncore is a good alternative, if you can deal with the Hungarian layout (-> Google Chrome), as there is no English layout available yet (if ever). Huge amount of content, good speeds and even scene releases (e.g. games) are unrared by default.

When they had invite applications, the form was available in Hungarian and English. Either they're too lazy to translate the whole site or they just want us to pick things up as we go.

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
I was lucky to get into nCore actually i saw Cabalgo posting a screenshot and the screenshot lured me and someone from here got me invited the amount of content and seeders are terrific at the moment only Elite users can invite and probably the only tracker where user class keeps changing so you can't reach the top and just stay there and nCore can easily beat IPT in Porn and Games and they have more seeders than IPT and with just 48 hours of seed time though i seed longer since you receive bonus points.A quick stats shows below :-

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Well I was just about to chuck $20 at IPTorrents to jin I think I may hang fire a while. At the moment Im with Torrentday (with 5 invites if I need to use them that is ) and Torrenting.com And as far as I know are my only two private trackers I will have to go through a few of the older ones I joined about 4-5 years ago as some of those may be private by now.
I only watch TV and could do with another decent TV Torrents site if anyone can suggest one and I could chuck some dollars at it to get a invite or join?

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Yeah I have joined over at IPT. I cant seem to seed very well with them for some reason. I joined at torrentday, and got my upload up over 150 gbs in a day. The speeds I get at ipt just don't compare. I spoke with them, and was told I was choosing the wrong torrent to try to get my ratio up. I just donated to get my ratio up higher and avoid the hnr's.
Is torrentleech better? I have heard good stuff about them but, other than an ivite don't see a way to join. Torrenday was cool, invite or donation to join.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
150 gb in a day?.Either you have a great home speed or a seedbox.
The trick on IPT to get a little buffer is to go for brand new torrents over 8 gb from near the top of the first page of browse. The one's showing no seeder. What is happening is that the uploader is waiting for staff to make it freeleech.Once granted he will start seeding. Till you get the hang of it it is best if you do only a small part of a pack rather than a single file 30 gb bluray.
Remember freeleech on ipt is not really freeleech. You must make ratio on the part you download.. Or zap with either seedpoints or upload credit. At this stage you will have few bonus points so it would have to be upload credit. Get it wrong and your ratio might get worse instead of better.
Torrentday is a sister site to IPT. TL is probably harder to seed to than IPT.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
PreToMe must be pretty good (and ratioless, but no glitchy HnR system). And filelistRo
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
i'd suggest you try Filelist.ro and/or Torrentleech
is there any reason for not using public trackers?
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Yes I have a seedbox. But it just cant seem to do weel with IPT, downloaded a file from torrentday, and was seeding it just fine. Had the same file at IPT, so I was trying to seed it there also, and nothing. ANd I would love to try torrentleech, have heard good stuff about them, but they havent had a free signup in quite awhile, and I missed the last one.

Don't pay to get in a site. Get in through an invite, and decide later if you care to support their efforts. Subtle difference, but is generally seen as less "dirty" in terms of money handling on a site.

Somewhat. When a tracker sells access to its doors, it give a HUGE impression that it is selling the content it contains as there is a DEFINITE promise of the resources it contains. Also, any pretension of "security" or being a "private" site are blown out of the water. It becomes a for-profit business open to anyone with $10-$20.
While there are several sites that beat the drums of "donation" to the point of greedy profit, there is an essential element between buying access and helping the site pay its necessary bills.

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Yes but sometimes invites are hard to come by. If you don't know someone its next to impossible sometimes.

The more The Industries can show their property is being sold, the easier it is for them to get legal sympathy/support. Think of the difference between lending someone a book/album/movie and selling them a copy.
Scarcity does create demand, but you will find there are easier/cheaper/better ways to access this community. Look at how Paypal has clamped down on donations in the past year or so. Now many small, not-for-profit sites are having GREAT struggles paying for their server bills. The more money is involved in filesharing, the more likely it is to dry up.That is bad for the whole community.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
All very true. And I understand it completely. I've just started trying to get access to private sites. I donated to get access to one, and then got an invite to the other thru someone who was a mod and helping me with my seedbox issue. Still it seems just wrong somehow to just come out asking for an invite to the site that I want. I've joined another site and they did their donations where they sent it to my paypal account, which I wasn't too keen on. The way that some of these sites treat the invites is kinda ridiculous, I know they need to do whats best for their site, but if you don't give people a chance, you will never know what they might bring to that site.
-
Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Paranoia is not an option, it's the only way to survive.
This said, I agree that certain sites overdo it a little in this regard, as it's more or less impossible to join them the 'right way', means not paying for an invite. That's just sad really.
But IPT really isn't one of those trackers, as it's not very difficult to join.

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Child IPT staff,

I agree with this, but both IPT and TorrentDay are selling access to their site - even as others say TD is a replacement for IPT. The only difference is that TD is cheaper at $12 versus $20 on IPT

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
When it comes to the most important aspect, the amount of torrents, the only real alternative seems to be ncore. Both iPT and ncore have around 300 000 torrents. Others have at least 100 000 less.

IPT - 307949

Re: Decent alternative(s) to IPT?
Cant you just seed 50x small files for a few weeks and build a mega points buffer or does that not work?
