The True-HD 720p XviDHD Blu-Ray Rips at IPT & PTM

sharky — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:18:39 +0000

Back in November we reported that the new Blu-Ray rips (BRRip and BDRip) are in Hi-Def (HD). In fact, most of these are in 720×304 (or similar resolution), which indeed qualifies them as superior to regular 700 MB XviD codec releases - albeit they are still standard definition. However, there’s at least one P2P release [...]

ExtraTorrent.com - A Rising Star on Public BitTorrent

sharky — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:41:30 +0000

The timing couldn’t have been any better for ExtraTorrent.com. In the wake of shocking news that rocked the P2P community with The Pirate Bay selling out and even removing its tracker from public torrents; and Mininova filtering out illegal content - torrenters are being forced to move on to greener pastures. ExtraTorrent.com is one such [...]

The Swedish Invasion: The Return of the Nordic Trackers

sharky — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:01:47 +0000

Don’t count the Swedes out just yet. While Antipiratbyrån’s late-April scare tactic forced more than just a handful of private sites to either close up shop entirely or legalize/remove torrents - Sweden has rebounded en masse, stronger than ever. TTi.nu regrouped and began to offer a regular staple of 0day torrents once again, others released [...]

Featured Forum: PTInvites.com Open For Registration

sharky — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:25:11 +0000

Looking for a fresh torrent forum serving up invites? PTInvites.com is a lesser-known private tracker invite forum that’s managed to keep a low profile. Starting up as early as last August, PTI began very privately but only this year has taken strides to increase the membership - which now stands at 738 - not bad [...]

The New PianoSheets Tracker: A Musician’s Paradise

sharky — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:07:16 +0000

If there’s one private tracker that musicians need to be a part of, it’s PianoSheets. Their invite system has virtually been nonexistent for what seems like forever, without offering the opportunity for aspiring new members to get in - but that’s all about to change with their official relaunch. Since recently switching over to Gazelle [...]

CoExist Breaks the Curse of the No-Ratio Music Tracker

sharky — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 17:32:38 +0000

There’s a tongue-in-cheek joke around the private tracker circuit that any music tracker trying to make it as a no-ratio site is doomed to failure. Certainly this holds true with last year’s disastrous iPWN fiasco, which nary a soul was surprised about. More recently, it was FaceTheMusic’s turn - while promising; it too, inexplicably dropped [...]

sharky — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 02:57:44 +0000

With even a minimal amount of perseverance, just about anyone should be [...]

sharky — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:22:10 +0000

No one can deny the legacy left behind by P2PTalk on the private tracker invites circuit. P2PTalk spawned spinoff sites that include Digital Raider and the impossibly popular Pirate Society - to name just two. Now, ex-P2PTalk staff have reassembled and created a slick new BT forum at www.etiv.in (in.vite, get it?). Etiv is a [...]

AnimeByt.es - A New Anime, J-Music Tracker

sharky — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:30:28 +0000

After more than two months of intense work, AnimeByt.es has finally launched. AnimeByt.es is a community-oriented site that doubles as both an Anime tracker and a Japanese music tracker - all rolled together into one. Because Anime is mostly episodic, most trackers have a difficult time keeping content well-organized. That’s where Gazelle comes in, with [...]

Private Tracker Account Theft On The Rise: The Danger of Shared Seedboxes

sharky — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:57:28 +0000

Just about everyone starting out in the world of seedboxes usually begins on a shared seedbox. They’re much more affordable (when compared to a dedicated box), they come pre-configured with a BitTorrent GUI & client, and there’s usually no setup fee. Simply pay, login to the box, and start adding torrents. Recently, however; there’s been [...]

InspireThe-Net (iTN) A New Ratio-Free Tracker

sharky — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:17:27 +0000

After repeated requests for the full name of iTN, we decided it was time to do a proper tracker review. After contacting staff, iTN disclosed that they’re not trying to hide their URL or remain a ’secret’ tracker; thus gave us the go-ahead. InspireThe.Net is a new 0day/general tracker that just so happens to also [...]

sharky — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:19:30 +0000

If you think the tracker logo below looks somewhat familiar, you just have to scroll down about 6 articles before realizing that it’s the same as SoftMP3’s old logo.

PirateFTP Selling Leech Slots For Scene Releases

sharky — Sat, 30 May 2009 21:47:15 +0000

Under normal circumstances we wouldn’t advocate for P2L (pay2leech) sites; everything you’ll ever need to download is freely available on torrent trackers. But if you have a little extra money to burn, or aren’t able to use the BitTorrent protocol - PirateFTP can be your alternative to getting the freshest 0sec scene releases. PirateFTP is [...]

Comic Releech - Putting Fun Back Into BitTorrent

sharky — Tue, 26 May 2009 01:27:27 +0000

In an Internet already oversaturated with 0day/general trackers that have no character and dead forums, more and more niche trackers with specialized content are breathing some fresh life into BitTorrent. After being in beta mode for months, the time has come to unveil Comic-Relee.ch - a fresh new tracker with a penchant for all-things comedic. [...]

SoftMP3 & SweDVDR Trackers Release ‘Source Code’

sharky — Sat, 23 May 2009 23:51:53 +0000

In the wake of ThePirateBay trial and subsequent aftermath related to the risks of hosting a BitTorrent tracker in Sweden (or, even being a denizen and hosting it elsewhere), most major Nordic private trackers have now all but complied with AntiPiratByran. However, two such trackers are having the last laugh - SweDVDR and SoftMP3 have [...]

Awesome-HD: The Latest Gazelle Tracker

sharky — Sat, 23 May 2009 19:14:04 +0000

Anti-Piracy Group ‘BayTSP’ Infiltrates TorrentLeech.org

sharky — Thu, 14 May 2009 22:23:33 +0000

If you thought it was only unsafe to download from public trackers - think again. It’s hardly a shock that anti-piracy groups make it a habit to go after users of public torrents, or even the colossal Demonoid tracker. But piracy watchdog group BayTSP, which in large part represents the MPAA and its subsidiaries, has [...]

Back on April 28th, ThePirateSociety teamed up with FSF to offer open registration - in which more than 1,200 new members joined the site.
