BitGamer is back

is it real?

[Arguti]

With the recent news of Underground Gamer and GazzelleGames shutting down, it was a massive blow to the torrent gaming community. It seems that recent pressure from certain industry groups has taken it's toll.

Therefore, we have decided to resurrect bitGAMER as best we could in order to allow gamers to continue to have a home in order to share their torrents. I want to make it clear that this tracker has not been created by former bitGAMER staff, the last thing we want is for them to receive threats for something they have not done.

We are however looking for any previous bitGAMER staff that would like to resume their roles if they wish to, or previous experienced members.

Please bare with us if you find any errors on the site and report them accordingly to Staff.

Enjoy, and happy downloading!

It's someone trying to take advantage of the tracker name.

Any possibility of this being a sting by a gaming company, or the industry in general, to get IP's of people downloading their material? Has this been done before in any industry (such as movies).

It can be anything really, scam or a legit new tracker. The only thing you know for sure is that the previous staff from bitgamer is not involved. If you want to join i would recommend extra careful like you should have with any other new tracker.

Fake trackers (as in the BitTorrent component that keeps track of torrents and peers) have been used by them to capture IPs and distribute garbage torrents in the past. If they ever went to the point of setting up a full-fledged fake private site to fish for addresses, I don't know, but usually they tend to focus their biggest efforts on public torrents.

Just in case, it's better to be safe than sorry - approach this site with caution, use a different password (as you should anyway), and maybe a disposable e-mail address.

Hey, conspiracy theorists.....You know whats easier than setting up a fake tracker....Is going after ones that already huge...or going after public trackers....No agency would do that...It's called entrapment....The same reason stings such as 'bait car' are illegal in majority of the states...

That's actually wrong. The FBI has set up fake sites in the past, albeit top ftp sites for the 'real' scene with scene group affils. I know that for a fact.

There is no reason why they couldn't do the same with a bittorrent tracker.
