TL is 0-day tracker, and it can be said most best private tracker that exists. It's a must for every torrent freak out there.

First and maybe only thing that irritates me is entering of Captcha code every time you have to login.Upon login you notice a nice grey/green layout with all important tabs on top.Tab and letters look very clearly,for me the whole site looks nice and most important, simple.I think that white letters and grey background go good together.

There are really many users(there must be around 200-300 thousand) so that the speeds of download and upload are great.
On the tracker you can find almost all the average things that user needs, Episodes/Boxsets ,Anime/Cartoon, Appz/misc, Appz/MAC, , Appz/PC ISO, Appz/PDA, Books - Mags, Documentaries, Episodes/TV, Games,Movies/Xvid,Movies/HD-x264...and many movie packs also. TL is mainly focused on scene releases but you can find some other stuff to like non scene DVD movies..In terms of scene releases they are not so fast like SCT but are holding good.

At first (until you become a power user) you will have to wait some time (48 hours) until you can download the latest torrent.
Therefore, it is a good idea not to download everything you see (at least at the beginning), but download only sample or a few parts, 1 or 2 rar archive, and in this way to increase your ratio ... later this will go a lot easier.Now i notice that TL doesn't have freeleech or some 2x double up bonuses or so but it's not really important because of large number of seeders and leechers.As for ratio it's important just to keep it above 0.4 or after 5 Days you will be banned.

If you decide to get VIP status, there are some bonuses that are included also in price like webhosting paket from Centelia Networks - Your reliable host (http://www.centelia.net). VIP status also includes :

• No wait time restrictions, regardless your ratio.
• No slot restrictions, regardless your ratio.
• Immunity to the auto-ban because of low ratio
• No ads at all
• You participate to a monthly drawing to win a valuable prize. Could be an iPod or a game console for a lucky VIP user :smile:
• You get VIP privileges in our IRC channel
• Only Vips get invitations, usually each month, and 2 of them when you donate for the first time or renew
• Premium Support and high priority from First Line Support queries.
• You will get a distinct pleasure, knowing that you are helping TorrentLeech providing you the best service at all time :smile:

What to say about forum,well nothing much,it's mostly same like on other high level trackers.Didn't personally use it to much but you can find there pretty much that interests you,gaming,cinema,user guides,tutorials,requests,software....


http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/2236/1641.png

Invitations are currently given only to VIP members and sometimes Power Users if the Staff so decides.
My cheating experience is really good there.Vuze Extreme and speeds about 120kB/s upload work wonders.Didn't try Ratiomaster but you can use it also for now there.

Torrentleech is a must have tracker,one of the best. If you don't have it then is something wrong with you or you are really unlucky to get in.I could say Torrentleech is so good because of large user number and therefore easy to seed.Byside of some tracker for older stuff you have everything that you need.If you ever get in watch for your account with your life

Wow my first tracker review:klatsch_3:

i would compare this tracker with revott. both are quite similar but TL is a little bit better from my feel but its good to have both :biggrin:

kazuya
15.04.09, 00:34
Almost same but TL more users and RevTT some double up bonuses..

anon
15.04.09, 00:36
RevTT some double up bonuses..

For donors :tongue:

In my opinion TL and RevTT make a great combo.

hitman
15.04.09, 00:38
yes usually there are on TL more peers on the same file compared to RevoTT. i would say that if you have TL you dont need RevoTT but it doesnt hurt to have both :top:

kazuya
15.04.09, 00:40
Yea right for donors,to bad my account was disabled on RevTT but TL is enough for me.Really satisfied with it

splicer
15.04.09, 00:44
For donors :tongue:

In my opinion TL and RevTT make a great combo.

Definitely; TL is faster than RevTT, in terms of pretime, but as I've said before, RevTT tracks loads of older Scene releases that managed to evade TL.

Is there any risk to create Duplicate account on TL ? someone was banned before for create dup account at TL ? Kindly share your experience here For Dup acc at TL .

anon
30.05.09, 18:51
You can safely have a TL dupe if you use different IPs for the second account (this also includes announcing, don't load torrents from both accs at the same time), and clear your cache and cookies before logging in to it.

LOL. I love this place. A great place to get your daily kicks. :smile:

I used to have TL until I gave the account away to somebody.

I jsut have TD now.

I don't like capchas either. they are kind of annoying but I doe beleive that they exist for a reason, though. :smile:

Good job on the review, kazuya. :)

When you would to cheat @TorrentLeech after let's say, creating a dupe acc, does it make any difference to wait some time (1 week - 1 month) before cheating or do you guys just jump right on it?

We wait sometime Before start Cheating on it.
And BTW TL has permenent Snatch list so whenever u cheat look on which torrent u r cheating.

this has been asked several times, it says at least for 45days and dont cheat big so it becomes obvious. And check the clients that work there so you know what to do. :top:

splicer
06.07.09, 13:31
The 45 days waiting time only applies to BitMe and BitMeTV, because of their new member monitering squad. With TL there isn't a need to wait a certain amount of time; they have such poor scripts. Just don't end up on the Top 10 fastest uploaders, or Top 10 most uploaded andyou'll be fine.

downtown
06.07.09, 13:36
it says at least for 45days

So you use it normally without cheating for 45 days and then start? And the reason because they especially watch the activity of new accounts? I mean if you cheat and use very slow speeds, why then wait. Was intending to try PMR. :wink:

splicer
06.07.09, 13:41
On TL, don't worry about waiting 45 days, that's only for BitMe and BitMeTV.

downtown
06.07.09, 13:51
Great! Saw your post after posting mine :P Just one more thing, what do you consider to be reasonable speeds? I'm always very careful. Used 200-300k/s UP with NRPG RM back in the day. Read something about 2-3M/s would be okay @ TL.

High rates work fine at TL, just fake on well-leeched torrents. PMR also works, just be sensible and don't flash terabytes. :wink:

Is flashing better than seeding with 1MB/s etc? I mean safety wise

That's strange, I used speeds definitely not available in my country without problems. :confused:

60 days of not logging in your accounts leads to accounts disabled for inactivity on TL right? :confused: wow you might have totally forgotten about torrents then.

40 days, actually.

Maybe if you go on a long vacation to somewhere where you have no internet.

downtown
22.07.09, 12:05
And I believe TL have the "parking" option for people who are going on vacation so you can be inactive for a longer period of time, losing some privileges doing it.

shoulder
22.07.09, 15:22
AFAIK TL doesn't have the parking action enabled, but maybe I'm wrong.

Kyllyee
22.07.09, 17:36
I think you are right shoulder. I have never seen such a feature on TL, so if parking does exist, please share. XD

anon
22.07.09, 17:46
shoulder is right, it doesn't have that option. References to "parking" in their FAQ are nowhere to be seen, as well.

moojuice
28.07.09, 08:09
I honestly believe if you have TL, you don't need any other site. I've been a member since nearly the beginning, well one account has been closed like other people posting above because of inactivity. They have basically everything new, and if they don't have it, i would go to RS sites for older material.

naughtydog
28.07.09, 10:25
imo, i think TL and Zamunda is flawless combination. Honestly get FL.ro as backup if you can. Cheating on all 3 is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

CS Curse
28.07.09, 13:07
Jep, I also use Zamunda. Of course it is less fast than TL.

shoulder
28.07.09, 14:31
In terms of content you may be right, but keep in mind it's less secure than using a smaller tracker. :wink2:

anon
28.07.09, 17:44
TL is the bigger and more cheatable ScT, in my opinion. Zamunda is like a Demonoid Plus. The latter's speed depends on if you're bulgarian or not :biggrin:

shoulder, +1.

Hi guys. if I may ask can someone please point me to a workable method to signup with TL? I'm pretty new to the private tracker scene and have been waiting over the last 2 months for TL to open registration (via btrac and OpenTracker websites) however it seems like it doesn't do so. Thanks and appreciate any help! If this is a wrong question to ask in this thread please kindly accept my apology. :smile:

anon
28.07.09, 18:52
They'll never open registrations. signup.php doesn't even exist on their server.

Wait for IRC invites to open again, or get an invite/account.

Check the FileNetworks and FileShareFreak blogs regularly. They'll tell you when they open. FSF even has an RSS feed.

Just kidding, when they do the IRC thing again, you'll be sure to find a post there AND a separate thread. We agreed to do this so when mid-level trackers "open" like this, nobody would skip them for not checking a huge, monolithic "open trackers" thread.

Okey so I was banned from TL for making a little misstake, I got the "403 You are banned" text :redface: And now I wonder if they saved my IP?

Because I now tried to just clear my cookies and after that I could visit the site again! I could of course not log into my account, but it worked just browsing around. If I get invited to TL again will I automatically be banned again or don't they save IP?

I sometimes get a new IP, can I make a new account with that or will they see that the IP is from the same town? Not so many live here.

Yes, IPs are easily traceable to geographical locations. I'd advice you to change yours if you want to reregister or use another account.

So if I still have the same IP I can re-register at TL as long as I have my cookies cleared? They don't save IP?

I won't get automatically banned? A staff member have to look at my IP and they can then see my location?

And I just have to say that you answer fast! Always! :klatsch_3:

I can't really know... I'm not TL staff :tongue: Although by the looks of it they aren't storing your IP in a blocklist (you can reaccess the site after clearing your cookies), I'd recommend getting another address. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah but if I want another IP I have to use a proxy or some kind of program, right? Don't think it will be worth it then, can just download from RevTT instead.

But if it's possible to change IP without any program/proxy that have to run all the time I would be interested.

You can spoof your MAC (link (http://www.sb-innovation.de/f59/how-change-spoof-mac-address-9761/)) or use the script in my signature if you have a dynamic IP Cable line.

There's also the alternative of using the AOL Software (http://www.sb-innovation.de/f59/tut-how-change-your-ip-address-aol-software-9897/), which is indeed an undetectable proxy, if those two don't work for you.

As a general tip, don't forget about cookies. They can and probably will get you banned if you try to reregister at a site without having cleared them.

hey anon,

I'm actually in a similar situation...not quite the same though

About a month ago, i traded an account with someone from a different country. First day i logged into his account, i promptly changed the password and email. After a day or two, i was banned from the site (403 forbidden). I wasnt sure about my account being banned though, because I hadn't been able to try (couldn't even access site).

Today, i cleared out my cache and cookies in chrome, and i was able to access the site..

I was even able to retrieve my password by submitting my email..which i had just received (haven't clicked link to reset password yet).

What are some precautions i should take in order for me to keep my account? Is it safe to assume my account is still alive (password retrieval email)?

Is it even possible to hold the account? maybe TL saw there were two different people logging into the account from different ip (countries)?

i was looking at your script, and was thinking this could help

I have to agree somewhat, looks like the admins at TL are doing a lot of things right, they have massive member#, great speeds, massive torrent# and good range (of porn [joking] not rly). the only thing I find annoying is the VIP invite only thing.

the only thing I find annoying is the VIP invite only thing.

but i've heard that the staff gives invites to some power users randomly not to all to some special .. i don't know the creteria but it happens sometimes... may b some day u'll get lucky:biggrin:

i don't remember on which tracker i read the announcement but i think its tl or scc... most prob its tl i guess .. it was one of the satff members trnsplanted sex.. now he became she... u can congratulate her and blah blah somethin like that:lol:

I was using tl 4 years before I've lost my account because of a trip to another country for 3.5 months it was really bad then i became a member revott almost same also brrip encoders like npw which is my favorite encoders are on revott ,
don't know what's going on tl
right know which encoders on tl?I'm curious about that cause they have new brrip xvid sections
my favs,NPW,Vision,Flawl3ss,Rx

NPW:Revott-Torrentday-ipt same time
Vision:IPT-Torrentday same time,sometimes they don't up revott even if they it's kinda late
Flawl3ss:Usally first IPT i think their fav.place hard to find just in time on revott or anywhere
RX:Torrentday-Revott first a little bit later IPT
Espacially flawl3ss' priority is IPT and it's the only reason i use ipt.

Since Torrentleech's layout is pretty much broke more than half of the time, due to large pictures or whitespace spammings for ascii art etc, here's a Stylish script to fix it so Torrentleech finally gets the look it deserves:


@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("torrentleech.org") {
center>table+p>table[style="width: 95%;"],
center>table+p>table[style="width: 95%;"]+br+table[style="width: 95%;"],
p[align="center"]+table[style="width: 95%;"],
table[width="95%"]+table[style="width: 95%;"]
{display:none !important;}
.xexe[width="805"], .xexe[width="805"] table
{max-width:805px!important;}
.xexe[width="805"] nobr
{white-space:normal!important;}
.xexe[width="805"] img

Well, where to start. The category icons are crap and so are the background tile, logo and country flags. You need to surf through three pages before you can log out. The UI still has a bunch of glitches (go to your profile, or check the seeder and leecher columns in the browse page).

Also, why are you checking the country flags so much that they actually bother you, don't people just lie on those anyway? Same with the logo...And the background tile.

You seem to be OCD'ing all over the place when most of the content is right in the middle of the page. :tongue:


As for the new TL, I am not sure how I feel about it. It feels like there is way too much information for a 0day tracker. I understand the benefit on sites like What.cd where you have artist pages and such, but all this categorization here now I am not sure. I guess it might come in handy when you can't decided on to watch and want to have some "Netflix-like" jump through genres and categories experience. But less serious, I want to download the usual stuff, seems a bit overwhelming.

Meh, will most likely get used to it. I have been using scc a lot more though. Kind of like having the ssl tracker to use. Sure its benefit is debatable, but as with ipblock lists...It does not hurt my connection one bit, and I don't have to worry about seeding because of RM, so it is more of a "Why not?"

anon
10.11.10, 19:42
What glitches are you referring to in the seeder/leecher column?

As of my last check, there wasn't a table border dividing the amount of seeders and leechers. So a browse page that looked like this:

+---------+
|_Sd_|_Lc_|
| 92 | 4 |
| | |
+---------+

Now looks like this:

+-------+
|_Sd_Lc_|
| 92 4 |
| |
+-------+

You could say it's not a big issue, but it can be confusing when skimming through the torrent list. (Does that torrent have 92 seeders and 4 leechers, or 924 something?)


Also, why are you checking the country flags so much that they actually bother you, don't people just lie on those anyway? Same with the logo...And the background tile.

Both are practically visible at all times, specially the background tile. And as for me, I prefer the old butterfly logo and a solid background. The flags aren't a big deal anyway, as I can just adblock them.

I started using SSL trackers when I discovered those wouldn't time out on days when my ISP's connection decided to be crappy, and have been using those whenever available ever since.

This new design seems to be using a bunch of fancy css3 and html design elements. I don't see that same thing when I try IE, the corners of some stuff don't seem rounded. But on Firefox and Chrome everything seems fine.


I still don't understand what the whole 'feed the torrentleech' was about... Why try to copy ftn? Its not like it'll help you in any aspect at all :rolleyes:It's suppose to say "Feed the leech", as in the actual insect. Notice how those three words are the same color. Also, there is blood on the word "torrent" and blood droplets coming out of the, what appears to be, a leech. I guess it's implying the association of leeches and their use for clinical bloodletting.

However, I am lost on why they decided to add biology to their "branding". And the "Feed the Leech" does sound a lot like "Feed The Net", though I am not sure why they would try to imitate a site like FTN, when TL already does a decent job at making a name for it self in the torrent world. They should have just stuck with the "not scene, not here" tag, at least that has become "their own" in a sense. Also, the logo portion after you login makes no reference to either of parts of the login page, it does not even say "not scene, not here", just adds another slogan in stead.

It's like they are undecided or something,
"Not scene, not here"
"Feed The Leech"
"This is what happens when you seed"

That's the users' fault, rather than the tag system's. I think tags greatly help both the tracker and uploaders by solving the "should I put this under rock or 80s", as well as enabling you to discover new artists who are within your musical tastes.


why crappy?

The old search would sort results on a "newest first" basis, i.e. by uploading date. This one won't. You get a random mix instead.

I realize that CAPTCHAs can be annoying, but think of them this way:

Would you want to own a torrent site and be spammed all day?? :smile:
I am sure that your aware that CAPTCHAs are used to prevent the 'bots' from navigating sites that are protected by CAPTCHAs.
And I'm equally sure your also aware that no computer program can read any kind of distorted text as well as humans can. :smile:
Besides, CAPTCHAs only take about 10 secs of one's time. ;)
Nothing that'll demand much.

Think of NOT having a CAPTCHAs as some drunk guy at the door who lets people into an exclusive party.

And after that, think of CAPTCHAs confounding all the many human visitors that visit what-ever site and who read those lines asking them to check some checkbox which asks:

"are you a human? If so, check this box",

......because many question their humanity or have been denied the power to state that fact by some Court of a Banana Republic.

rars are smaller than the actual files :gninja:

The parts sure are smaller than the whole file(s), but overall, RARs will be slightly bigger than it due to header overhead plus no compression. TL's probably uploading RARed stuff so that they can race it faster.

Note RARs are an advantage for honest ratio-keepers, you can download 1 part and seed it a lot to increase your ratio.

This doesn't happen to me, only if I clean cookies or change ip. Maybe your ip is resetting randomly, thus the need for new logins? Or maybe your browser is configured to clean cache when exit?

Not always, most stuff like xvids and isos are already compressed sources, so you end up gaining these overheads anon mentioned.

Unnecessarily takes up space...

keeping the scene files intact (rar's & co.) is a good practice, which is especially useful for large releases in case a part of it gets corrupted (you need to re-download only the broken part, a fraction of the original size & time/ratio/bandwidth saver), for multi-dvd archiving (release is already split in parts smaller than a dvd size), transferring to systems that have inconvenient file-size limitations (fi. fat32), additional compression (in case the original or its parts were left uncompressed, which is likely sufficient to overcome the overhead disadvantage), availability (it can usually be re-downloaded from every source that uses intact rar's), validity (check whether it is original and trustworthy) - afaik the biggest disadvantage is the roughly double size of hard drive space needed (only when using the release)

anon

Aren't most if not all Scene releases inside uncompressed RARs? Or am I missing something? :unsure:

slikrapid
17.11.10, 20:13
i'd say the default is likely to have 'normal' compression setting, since there are examples of games being significantly compressed inside scere rar's, though to be sure about the default rule one would need to check the scene rules

Sazzy
17.11.10, 22:54
Does that not mean twice the memory for the same product?

No, as you do not keep both. You unrar, delete the rar files and you keep the normal files. I'm sure you won't be seeding for weeks and weeks.

Is it not required to extract first to use the content?
As for movies and music, a lot of players even can play directly from the rars these days so only things like applications which you are seeding for ages would require you to keep both for a long time. And even then, it won't be such a massive amount of gigabytes that it would be truly inconvenient.

Apparently not :3

While this might be the case in rare occasions (as I'm fairly sure that most TL rars are compressed at normal or higher), I'm sure we're talking about mere kilobytes. Also, iirc most trackers upload it like that because they want to keep the scene files intact.

No, as you do not keep both. You unrar, delete the rar files and you keep the normal files. I'm sure you won't be seeding for weeks and weeks.


Aww...

Never be sure of things you don't know about...

I infact DO seed for weeks and weeks...
And I'll even tell why that is a issue for me...The stuff I download from the private sites I upload on the public sites...So perhaps you can see my side of the coin?

Playing from the rar'd files does not depend on the player.It depends on the video codec and the compression algorithm used.

You need the files in the format

file.part001.rar
file.part002.rar

or

.r1
.r2


to make it work.

You're right on the mere kilobytes part :gsmile:

Me, I'm really positive the RARs are all uncompressed. 7-Zip has always extracted them fast and shown the files' compressed sizes to be the same as their "real" ones. But then again, I'm certainly not an expert with Scene standards and guidelines...

When you click browse, the categories button appears beside the search bar and it works flawlessly. This has been working all along as far as I know. I have only tried it with Firefox, so maybe it doesn't render correctly in other browsers.

Edit: If you are using noscript with Firefox and have Torrentleech blocked it will not display the categories correctly.

Aren't most if not all Scene releases inside uncompressed RARs? Or am I missing something?

according to scene rules:
- uncompressed rars are used mostly for already sufficiently compressed material, meaning movies/series/tvrips/concerts in .avi, .mkv, possibly also dvdr's, etc.
- compressed rars are used for 0day, iso's in general, all games, rips, dlc's, subtitles, subpacks, extras, etc. (compression level is left optional, the fastest setting or better being preferred, as long as it doesn't significantly increase extraction time)
- no rars are used (rars are not used) for mp3 releases, single music videos, samples, nfo's, .sfv's, covers, etc.


I'm really positive the RARs are all uncompressed.

finally, you can check this for yourself by opening the .rar file(s) with winrar and choosing tools/show information - the ratio field will be 100% for uncompressed rars (fi. some xvid movie) or less than 100% for compressed ones (fi. some game rls)

Due to recent events, if for any reason the main domain (torrentleech.org) becomes unavailable, you may access the site via the following domains:

torrentleech.cd
torrentleech.cc

It is. Thanks for the news and nice to see you here!

Surprised they're doing that when their "real" domain is a .org one. But well, better safe than sorry...

Would it be possible, if sb. provides a screenshot of the most seeded HD movie torrents? Thank you very much :)
When I only need HD movies, should I go for TL or try to get into CHDBits?

Have a nice weekend ;)

because TL log you out every time your ip has changed. as long as you have the same ip and keep the cookies you get in directly

this is the only private tracker that i have a account, not so easy to keep a good ratio but i can find anything there ^^

btw, registration is open, just ask for a invite in their irc channel

The best tracker i have, great content and great speeds, you can find almost everything there and even old torrents have seeders with good speeds.
I agree it's annoying when i must logging almost everytime i want to browse this site;)

TL is one of the most easy tracker to seed/cheat

IMHO IPT is far better than TL in terms of content.

Content, yes. Retention? It needs more work there.
