First Snatch

All download before a torrent gets snatched for the first time isn't counted.
If the torrent gets snatched while you're downloading only your download after the snatch is counted.

-bump-

Well I bumped to add some info and ask some things.

The first freeleech snatch is scrapped.
On the front page they have a list of freeleech for christmas.
They have freeleech once a week in the form of Movie of the Week. And the last four MotW are always freeleech.

But one question, did something happen to tc? It's at about 12000 users atm =/ Some massive pruning must have happened or something...

And I havnt tried anything there yet, as my tc account is linked to my waffles and what.cd account.

Edit: Oh and I almost missed this but: On the bottom of the latest article, apparently if you are from What.CD you can get free invites. But tc invites arent hard to come by.

What are the different user classes?
.....
Teh Fanatic - Can access notifications system, Invites forum.

Teh Fanatic - Must have been a member for 4 weeks, uploaded 50 GB, 1 torrent and maintain a ratio of 1.05. The promotion is automatic when these conditions are met. Note that you will be automatically demoted from this status if your ratio drops below 0.95 at any time.

maybe that's why you can't see :biggrin:

comment from anyone that CAN?

PTPC offers them as well, although you must upload 80GB and one torrent to be Power User there. I don't know what TC's requirements are (found some info, but it's very old, from back when they were TBdev-based).

well right now id like to get back to ptp and what.cd (w/o the interview) but in general no i would like to just get onto better trackers (generally for movies) than what i currently have access to. x264, hd-bits.ro, hdbits.org im looking for good movie trackers in general

in a recent news post it seems like TehC is wanting new members. They are encouraging people to start threads at other trackers to invite people and are even offering to give out a ton of invites to people who do so.

4) Uploading always helps, as does inviting new (good) users. Consider (with staff permission) starting an invite thread on other trackers you're on that don't have a TC thread. If you want to start a thread, ask us, and we'll give you a bunch of invites to bring in new users.
so be on the look out for those!

Sure, because limiting this to other trackers only guarantees you'll only get good members.

dreamer
03.06.10, 13:07
of course they want more members.. site's looking emtpy.
and yeah managed to be PU and the invites forum is open for me.
you can find, among the rest: STB, BitHQ, What.CD, BTN, fux0r, STC, ExtremeBits (those are unlimited)
more are suggested but they aren't unlimited and depend on the user inviting.

special invite forums for power users..and more classes..

tL,revtt,what,btn,stb,scc & some more

most of torrents are on freeleech..thats why

also mratio new1(didnt tried it )old 1 works great with about 120 kBps
also rm with memory reader about 200kBps

I don't get this :pinch:

Do you mean there are invites to those trackers on TC's PU forums, or that they also have unlimited threads?

I'm at a loss because I know TL and SCC, for example, don't offer invites for special classes, and dreamer would have mentioned TL, RevTT, SCC, etc. if they were available via TC.

dreamer
03.06.10, 18:59
they are not available as unlimited invites..
there are open threads in the invites forums when every now and then a user is offering invites.
for example.. a thread of XYZ opened 5 months ago and all invites are already given.

actually, there are no torrentleech or scc threads at all.. not unlimited nor users offering.. are you confused with another site, maybe, thecoolest?

Ticko
03.06.10, 19:08
i know when i was on what.cd they had an unlimited thread for tehconnection (i think that is how i got on tc) and it was just a link to auto-invite pu's of what.cd. I wonder if they have a connection with what.cd and if they have an unlimited invites thread on the invite forum of TC

anon
03.06.10, 19:52

Yes, as a matter of fact, I've never seen unlimited TL invites on any other tracker. That's why I asked him.


I wonder ... if they have an unlimited invites thread on the invite forum of TC

I.e. unlimited What.cd invites on TC's PU forums? Yes, just look above.

Easy BTN invites through TehConnection this was plastered on the news page this morning


In the past we had a partnership with What.cd, invites to each site being offered by the other. That line is still intact, and now we offer another line: BTN!

BTN is a ratio-free TV tracker running on a well customized Gazelle base. Lots of good content, good pretimes and good speeds, this tracker is the up and coming rookie to keep your eye on.

That said, if you want to get in over there, its easy; send a PM to ONE of these users:

AzzA
mmmphishyphishy
chrisbeebops
snatch
Bitey
Queo
predakanga
hxck

If you do not include your email, your PM will be ignored!

Make sure you give it at least a day or two to get a response, these guys are busy running a tracker so spare time isn't always easy to come by.

dreamer
10.07.10, 23:53
it's probably something to watch out for, when you have both BTN and TC (i.e. getting caught in BTN can affect your TC account..)

Ticko
11.07.10, 06:59

yeah this means they are definitely linked atleast to the members giving out the invites which are most of the staff.

Due to the increasing amount of dupe accounts from the default user class invites have been disabled and removed. Information on user classes and promotions can be found Here"

Btw this tracker worth to get in for old and new movies both.Their exclusive x264 dvd-rip's quality is awesome,have hd material also.Sometimes i can find more seeders than hd trackers or general trackers on old hd movies.Same opinions goes for ptp too.If you use trackers mainly for movies ,you must get these two first.

We proudly introduce to you our latest experiment: The "Seeder Surge!"

Since the very beginning, we have strived to be the best archival site that we can be. We've noticed that very few torrents truly stay archived for very long - certainly there are few torrents over 2 years old. So, in the interest of reaching this goal and maintaining archival status, we're going to be experimenting with a few new features that collectively create what we're calling our seeder surge. We're planning on leaving these running indefinitely, perhaps with some minor tweaks, but no major changes. This is not a promotion or special event, but a radical shift in our ratio and seedership philosophy. That said, if this system gets abused or misused, it will go away and no one wants that!

So, the changes that make up our seeder surge:

❥ All torrents with less than 5 seeds are freeleech until they reach 5 seeds. This includes new uploads (read: all new uploads are freeleech henceforth). Once a torrent has 5 seeds, the freeleech will be deactivated, so don't count on your full snatch being free, a 5th seeder could hop on before you're done! Torrents who drop seeds below 5 will have their freeleech reactivated until their seedership resumes. Hitting and running on freeleech torrents will be dealt with swiftly and severely.

❥ We will be rolling out updates in the coming days to make it easier for you guys to find torrents that need seeding but for now you can start your hunt here: torrents.php?page=92&order_by=s6&order_way=ASC

❥ The peerlist is now back for all users so all can see if a 5th seeder is about to complete and end the freeleech. The lists are cached for 15 minutes (this will NOT be changing), so don't gamble too heavily!

❥ In addition there will be no more autolocking of dead threads in the forums which will make the invites forum (teh fanatic and above) much easier to deal with. This is not an endorsement for thread necromancy and repeated, unjustified attempts will result in a permanent loss in forum privileges.

❥ And finally, we are implementing our new automated invite system. Only Teh Fanatic and above will be receiving invites. The specifics on what user classes getting what will remain a secret for the time being.

We hope you enjoy these new features and stay tuned for more to come!

I'll ignore the fact What.cd has ceased to exist (it would wreck my comparison) and say when it comes to movies, PTP is What.cd and TC is Waffles. They're under the shadow of a bigger site, but are still great at what they do.

I'm afraid not, these news surprised me as they're invite-only and hadn't opened in years.

Codec
11.05.17, 07:21
This is the second time they open registrations. They were open for a few hours last month. They said they wanted to reach 25k users by the end of 2017.


It's been exactly 1 month since our last site announce pertaining to the Future of TehConnection and we are proud to announce we are now on route to developing, securing and maintaining what is soon to be the greatest private movie tracker that has ever graced the internet.

We would like to begin this announcement by thanking everyone at TehConnection who has shown their support for all of the goals TC would like to achieve for 2017. The amount of volunteers applying alone has been incredible, it has taken us 4 weeks just to conduct interviews and we still have many more interviews to go.

Just as we welcome new blood to the TC Team we also say au revoir to amazing past contributors. No one will disagree with the enormous effort and time that you all have contributed to this site, it will NEVER be forgotten. You have all been amazing in your dedication to the site & there's a chance we will see all of these guys loitering in the forums and a distinct possibility some may be back to help once more but for now they are enjoying their well earned break.

= VOLUNTEERS =

We are still looking for more volunteers as we rely on members to contribute to the site whether it be uploading, moderating the uploads to meet our high standards, helping our fellow users with any site related issues they may face, managing uploaders, design/development, site relations, recruitment and more.

If you are interested in joining our operations team, please send DeCrypt a message. Make sure you include what position(s) you are looking to fill, as well as an "anonymous" CV with any qualifications you possess. If you have previous experience as staff at another tracker, you are welcome to apply as well.

= BUGS & NEW FEATURES

We are focusing on fixing any existing bugs and penetration testing before we begin implementing any new features that will make your experience at TehConnection that much better. So if you encounter a bug, please send us your findings via the Staff Inbox. We will be tackling that list immediately!

Once all the small bugs are taken care of there are many new features that we have planned for integration.

- TC Operated Image Host
- Upload Credit for Idling in IRC
- Multi-Language Support (Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, French, Portuguese, German, etc)
- Android/IOS - Mobile Supported Site
- Two Factor Authentication
- Brand New Designs adhering to various preferences
- SSL Tracker
- New Search Options (Year, Language, Subs, etc)

To be honest we could keep going, we have a massive list in our staff forum and we regularly view the user suggestion forum so the fact of the matter is that if TehConnection users want it, we will do our best to make it a reality.


= ADDITIONAL NEWS =

Our Mail Server will be repaired VERY soon, is REPAIRED. There will be 25 days for all non-donor members to use their invites. There are 10,000 invites available so if you know someone who would love to join our community - don't hesitate. We won't hold it against you if they are new to torrents and have a bit of a learning curve, we are here to help and to share content with each other.

Our IRC Network is back up & being provided by P2P-NET.eu.
It is growing in size with TC users everyday & we would love for more of TC's users to join us.

Network: irc.P2P-NET.eu (irc.TehConnection.eu)
Channel: #TehConnection
Additional Channels for TC Users:
#PRE - Real Time Scene Release Announcement
#IdleRPG - IRC Game Channel

= DONATIONS =

We accept donations only to cover the costs associated with running the site and tracker. The costs come from renting servers and the bandwidth they consume every month. TehConnection has been online for 9+ years because of the contributions from our members. Without donations, we simply wouldn't be here.

If you are financially able, please consider making a donation to help us pay the bills. We try and keep our operating costs to the bare minimum in-case donations do not cover.

Seems like teh is taking the cabal approach. They are finally cooperating more with other trackers, forums have been cleaned, people have been recruited. Took em some time to realize they could become one of the best trackers in the hood, even challenge the almighty ptp.

BTN recruitment and the announcement of invites being purged seems like a decoy to enlist more users and push it more.They still have a long way to go though and i still think on of the ways to manage that is if they updates the interface/stylesheets.

Good tracker nevertheless and for the time being good easy access.

TehConnection news



100 days

It's been 100 days or so since we made our The Future of TehConnection.eu Announcement and though it might not seem like it, we've made some major progress and we're not done yet!

Over the past 100 days we have:

- Integrated our new Ocelot Tracker

- Built Justine Bot which serves users and staff in IRC

- Fully functional Mail Server giving us a 98.4% delivery rate

- TehIMG.eu for hosting images/screenshots/etc.

- Invested in our infrastructure and security
-- 1 x Front-End Server | 1 x Back-End Server | 1 x IRC Server | 1 x Development Server | 1 x Site Operations Proxy Server | 1 x Image Hosting Server | 1 x Zero Knowledge Storage Server

- Developer working on the current source code

- Developer(s) working on a next-generation torrent site/tracker software (No ETA but we are shooting for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 2020)

- Several new and old staff and helpers handling daily site operations

- Dozens upon dozens of smaller Gazelle bugs and pages that you would never have known of or even seen, but they are fixed! =)

- And there's probably a ton more that our amazing Astarael has done that we don't even know about!

In the not so distant future we will be:

- Automated Crypto-Currency donation system

- Encoding / Uploading Server - 2 x Xeon - 32 GB DDR4 - 30 TB HDD - 1 GBit Full Duplex

- Staff have been under intense deliberation regarding a Bonus System + Seeder Surge - We don't know what's going to happen but we'll let you know before the final decision is made! We've read your suggestions and comments, all 1000 of them, we will do our best to give you the users what you ask for.

- We've noticed a considerable increase in the amount of inactive users coming into IRC and re-enabling their account, many of them 5-8 yrs since their last login. So we will soon be re-activating all "good" but inactivity disabled users. There's approximately 50,000 of them. We'll start with 2500 users a week being enabled. It will increase activity, torrent retention and speed, we are already up 40,000+ peers since the beginning of the year.

- New default Style-sheet - its secksy asf.

We are looking for developers!

We need more hands! Our developers have donated so much of their personal time and they continue to do so but working at the pace they are will burn anyone out, let's load-balance the work so no on gets tired!

Preferred Qualifications
Writing server-side code for web-based applications
C++, PHP, AJAX, Python or JavaScript, database design and SQL.
Develop UI with AJAX and similar technologies.
An understanding/experience with CSS and HTML5 development
Knowledge of Unix/Linux.
Experience with the BitTorrent protocol

If you are interested in joining our operations team, please send Astarael a message.

Make sure you include what position(s) you are looking to fill, as well as a CV or any qualifications you possess.

DONATIONS

After many, many years our PayPal account got reported about a month ago and has now been permanently locked. There was 160~ euros in the account.

We have prepaid all of TC's hardware for the next <60 days with donations that we were able to transfer out.

We don't want to gamble with your donations by setting up another PayPal account (even thought we think we can still beat PayPal!).

We have decided to make the transition to BitCoin.

If you are financially able, please consider making a donation to help us pay the bills!

Due to a court order granted to the Attorney General of Quebec with the assistance of the Special Enforcement Unit, TehConnection's servers were seized, fortunately - we run a mirror server for the front-end which allowed us to back-up data offshore from the actual server before deleting all traces of TC.
This happened less than 30 days after the Systems Administrator of TC was threatened by a member of staff at a prominent private movie tracker. Take your guesses.
At this time we are re-evaluating our efforts to determine what sort of set-up is necessary to prevent this from happening again as well as negotiating with hosting firms in Russia and Hong Kong to determine if they will be able to provide us with the hardware, network and support we require at a manageable cost.
Please donate to our efforts via BTC, keep seeding the torrents, and we will try and be back as soon as possible.

post from wigornot.


They recently promoted some Dev's, so I would assume one of them went rogue. I doubt it is coming back. PTP is recruiting at RED, HDB, and BTN and is a superior site.
that had nothing to do with it. none of the new devs had access to anything yet.


teh will be back, though not under its original name. all of us staff are working around the clock currently.

cheers, guys, I'll put up an invite post on here when we're up.


also, what we think happened was that the sysadmin shut down the site of his own accord and wanted to make it look like a raid so he could get sympathy BTC.

and I'd like to say it hasn't worked, he's only raised $15 lmao

What.cd, ScT, FTN, UK-T and others, they taught us one important thing: don't take anything for granted, Internet sites could shut down tomorrow, throwing away all that time and effort you spent on getting that buffer/invite/virtual item.

I don't think it's wrong to upload stuff to get some perks or help a site, and I don't think this is the end for TC. But always keep the above in mind.

What.cd, ScT, FTN, UK-T and others, they taught us one important thing: don't take anything for granted, Internet sites could shut down tomorrow, throwing away all that time and effort you spent on getting that buffer/invite/virtual item.

I don't think it's wrong to upload stuff to get some perks or help a site, and I don't think this is the end for TC. But always keep the above in mind.

Eventually we all fall to that ''trap''. Even i did with teh and tb of data, since they didnt have active HnR system, so it all came pretty handy for immediate use.

The more i am in the game, the more find more wise the people that try to just keep a ratio of 1.

On behalf of the senior staff of TehConnection, I wish to advise the news that noone has been wanting to hear: TehConnection is no longer. As there has been no communication with the senior admin, we do not know who is currently running the main server or what exactly is happening. We can only assume that forces are at play to which we know nothing about.
We wish to thank the community for their help and support through all these years. There were many happy times for us all, both as users, and as staff. We have seen many great accomplishments in our time, and we have watched many of our community as they grew, not just on TC but elsewhere. It has been a real pleasure helping, and serving you.
Is this the end? We don't know. Only time will tell.

I can confirm that this is a legitimate statement from the leaders of TC.
Very sad to see you go. I really hope you'll be back. PTP will miss you.

Seems like the one having access to the main server scammed them and tried to get some money in the process. At least not that many people have donated..

So bad... But great I manage to get all the old movies I like... Any sucessor?

PTP has been mentioned and x264.me may also be worth a look.
cosanostra was pretty cool, but they did shut down this year, too.

I guess either a new tracker will spring out or most of the users will try their luck with ptp or some of the hd trackers.
Teh had eventually around 14-15k members. Half of them must have already been on ptp, maybe more.
The rest will just be divided on general trackers, hdtorrents and ahd. And just selected few will make it on ptp.

I was thinking PTP may become a bit easier to join for a while, to allow for TC refugees (I hate that term, but I'll use it for the sake of practicality and understanding). It seems unlikely though, they're already happy the way they are.

If a successor tracker is to appear, now is the time.

latres

Yeah, like making public announcements to the size of the entire PTP ( in contrast to netflix, amazon etc) is gonna help at all.
Its just recruitment for the most elite users. One could call it pretty much closed again, but even now new people manage to get recruited. Is it worth the time/effort investment though? I would def say yes, but opinions vary.

As for teh, even if a new tracker is created, its pretty much pointless now. Teh was for many years into the game and still didnt manage to get even half the number of torrents ptp had. The only somewhat logical action would be for ptp to raise the limit to at least 40k. Or keep 35k as soft limit and let new users be able to join via these hard recruitments indefinitely..

Update 1


Former senior staff members of TehConnection can confirm that they are looking to build a replacement for TehConnection. We know there is still a lot of interest out there, we can also confirm we have an old copy of the database. There are no promises that this will eventuate into a new tracker site, but we have the means and development to make it happen. Our plan is to not be a gazelle clone so the site is being written from scratch. We do need some extra help to make this happen. One of these being that we are looking for a UX designer(s) with an artistic eye. If you can assist us, we would be keen to hear from you. If we are successful, we do have a tentative go-live date in mind. However, we will update on this at a later date. Thank you

Update 2


Just to clarify some points made in original post:
we aren't writing everything from scratch; we are building on a years-long effort that was already underway to rewrite TC, and that project uses existing production-ready frameworks. We're aiming to launch a minimum viable product (MVP) for beta testing by Christmas, and we welcome security audits from those gracious enough to volunteer their time.
to date, we have still been unable to contact the sysadmin of the original TC. We are saddened by what has happened but cannot confirm who has posted the BTC address that most of you have seen. We do acknowledge that there were security issues with the original TC, and this is something which we are taking seriously and changing process to ensure this does not happen again. We will not be asking for any donations until we can deliver a functioning site.
we are asking for help, but only from designers. We have enough devs to get things wired together, and while we are willing to launch the site with a bootstrap theme or some other shitty-looking alternative, we would much rather have it looking good from day one. Those who have pm-ed already
we are not planning to use most of the content in the database we do have, including torrent files. Essentially we will be starting over, but using the db to validate TC refugees.
Thank you <3

TehConnection Reborn

TehConnection has been Reborn!

I came to the decision to relaunch TehConnection myself due to the sad fact that the original site disappeared without trace several months ago. I am a firm believer in the here and the now and I don't believe in waiting for something that very well may never happen no matter how good their intentions are. So with that mindset I set about exploring the idea of relaunching TehConnection myself. As you can see we're not using Gazelle and instead are using UNIT3D a new, fresh and up to date script based off the lovely Laravel Framework. I do realize that some people may prefer the old look and Gazelle. However, I seriously did consider going with Gazelle but decided against it once I saw how wonderful this codebase is out of the box. It is my belief it will serve us very well, and it is my hope that you will all join me in rebuilding the movies library that the old site once had. Bear in mind that UNIT3D is still pretty new and a stable build should be released by end of April named UNIT3D 2.0 LTS (Stable)
You are all advised to report bugs if/when you find them.

Alastair can call his new tracker anything he wants, and it seems he has decided to call it TehConnection.
From memory he was Community Staff while at TC (cannot remember where from).

He has opened up the offer to legitimate TC staff and good luck to him. Unfortunately he has not communicated with any TC staff that I am aware of.

We looked at keeping the name TehConnection - however we decided against this due to the issues which TC has had in the past at the hand of at least 2 of it's owners.

For those who are looking out for the relaunch, remember the letters JCT which will be staffed by the crew that TC users remember well: DG, hwkns, brucie, myself, and many others.

Good luck to Alastair and his version

It doesn't have a huge torrent base since there was no backup, but it would be good to build ratio up now :P

Also the owner is not the previous owner, it's someone who took it upon themselves to bring this back.

Very few torrents. I think you should wait a few months before you start cheating.

Agreed, but to be fair at this stage you can upload files from other sites without needing to cheat atm.

Oh they also give a generous 49GB buffer too.

So, it's basically joining this quasi-authorized new tracker, or waiting for an official comeback which has been promised for a while now. Except those choices aren't mutually exclusive, so you can join the new place while you wait for the old one :smilie4:

Starting from scratch feels like a letdown, though, and if the official sequel is ever out, we'll be left with a fractured userbase... oh well, I guess Warez-BB has movies too.

Yep. Exactly what you said. The tracker does look like one of the best in terms of the interface. Much like what TL are going to do in V5.

This is great. I still miss a tracker for older movies.

I read that Nebulance, MAM and cinemageddon offer invites, I'm not a member of these trackers, though.
Isn't there a place to recruit ex members of the previous TEH?

If some charitable soul could get an invite on my behalf.
Actually, could SBI have a thread to ask for invite?

send me your email address. ;) This site is not run by the ex teh staff members. Those guys are working on another site with an old db of teh and it will be named Jumpcut.to


Part of the JCT staff message on RED:

https://images2.imgbox.com/15/c4/xyCQqmwl_o.png

They still looking for devs to help with the progress. They have database snapshot from march 2017, so anybody who has been registered by then will be able to join. They will have recruitment like old TEH had.



To be more specific, we are looking front-end developers to help us gain some ground quickly.

The design work is done and we have a good team finishing up the APIs (but could always use help there if you are interested.)

Hi H265,
that confused me now. Are you saying that tehconnection.me will be renamed Jumpcut.to or are we taking about 2 different sites:
tehconnection.me, which just "stole/took" a name
Jumpcut.to, which just "stole/took" a TEH DB backup

Yes these two will be different. The ex-tehconnection staff are working on a site but the name will be different (JCT). I read that old users will be able to use their accounts (those who registered before 2017 march). tehconnection.me is run by another guy. For me it doesn't matter. The more the better.

thanks for the clarification.
Let's wait and see what they intend to offer. I'm really looking for something like the original TEH or PTP, to reach those rare or old movies that are hard to find (legitimately or not)

I don't want another HD tracker full of bullshit super heroes movies.:icon_angry[1]:
