Rich from donations?

[gorgoroth]

I'm certain that on many trackers (the big ones) they make a lot of money from donations, anyone have an idea of HOW much? Do you think anybody can LIVE off of just running a tracker?

[d3adb3at]

I think it is very possible and i also belive that some actually do but i am betting it is just a NICE second income. Some of the bigger and better sites have more donations then needed to run the site and i really find it hard to belive that u have that much extra that they dont spend ANY of it on themselves or for themselves at some point or another.

LOL

They have ads now as well...so if there are ~150,000 users...that will put the total at $1+ Mil (maybe?)

I'd be very surprised if many of those were accurate at all. Most medium sized trackers probably bring in less than $5,000 a year and most or all of it goes right back to pay for server costs and upgrades

a few sites im positive of

pisexy
ipt
scc
fsc
ftn

others were just guess
but im sure that TL is somewhat accurate aswell

and ftwr should be allowed to accept donations...they dont deserve donations..horrible torrent tracker

Perhaps the community reps here can give us an accurate answer to this question? (at least based on their own tracker)
