As I mentioned this tracker is a must-have if you like big packs. (Which are of course freeleech) Speeds are high enough to max out my bandwith.
Even better is that the signups are almost permanently open. This way it is no wonder that lots of files have a high seeder base.
As it can be seen on the screenshots files with lots of seeders aren't uncommon at all.
So, it's no wonder that older files often have a few seeders too so that the torrent can be downloaded in no time.
The Pre-Times are fast too although I don't care if a torrent was released after 2 or 3 Minutes. :wink2: But there are torrents too, that have Pre-Times under 1 Minute!
When it comes to cheating, I think, we all know that doing so there is dead easy. Nearly every tool works there just fine. I use mratio there with 200kbs/torrent.
Not to forget to mention that the community there is very helpful and kind and there are lots of contests where everybody is invited to participate.

All in all, it is a nice starting tracker with lots of stuff. Despite of their community and the torrents that are offered it can't keep up with more famous trackers, such as Torrentleech and RevolutionTT, I suggest.

My 2nd best tracker. I love their series and movie packs! :top:

19.04.09, 19:23
Yeah the same here! :top: Even better is the fact that no matter what you dl there, you will be able to maintain a decent ratio. :wink2: It was even the first tracker where I noticed the option to download a torrent via SSH or browsing via https. (But that could be the case cause I wasn't at higher level ones at that moment... :tongue:)

Talking about HTTPS, remember you had to take away the S from the tracker URL to be able to use the RatioMaster at RevTT? Not anymore, v1.7.7 onwards includes SSL support.

Yeah I can remember, I always logged in first via https and then remembered that I can use http only if I want to use that torrent with RM... :rolling_eyes:

But good to hear that this problem is gone now! :klatsch_3:

Well its A very Nice Tracker....but its Difficult To Signup as the system keeps on giving unnecessary errors so many times.....

Plus it Has a Large userbase So almost all Torrents are well seeded including packs....
& it has no Ads like on TL...:biggrin:

Look like they have Banned My ISP Ip range...

Every time I want to open it same message appear..



403 Forbidden

Unauthorized IP address. [Error: 1] You are banned!

18.04.10, 19:31
Find a proxy that isn't banned and use that. You don't even need to use a proxy in your client to announce afterwards.

They remind me of filelist.org (now filepost), but with packs and some FL.

I've been able to signup using a proxy, but can't announce through normal ip, I get a "http error 403" on uTorrent status.

Oh, so they've patched this. PaperBus should probably do the trick until they block its IP ranges as well.

I got it working on RM using HTTP proxy tab, you just can't browse nor announce through a banned country. Now sometimes on RM I'm getting a "error: tracker response is empty". Nothing to worry about, it was good as an experiment.

Can you elaborate on that? I've never heard of TB's staff being idiots. Usually such feedback is reserved for trackers on level 3 and above.

TorrentDay is shit. If you make me choose between that and TB I'd clearly go for the latter.

site is still up, but you cant cheat there with mratio anymore.

mratio seems to be not able to read the torrentfile and this way is not able to use it= how can i cheat there?

after i got banned from torrentleech i am searching for a new site, with an open signup could not find anything as good as torrentbytes (compared with TL its still not good though).

could you tell me how i should cheat there?

08.02.11, 07:02

TL doesn't care about that. I've shared an account with someone on the other side of the world who used different clients. Not a single issue.

but i ve got to tell you something else, after login tell TL told me that i got banned "AND" that they got a new securitymechanism Oo

so maybe they are doing something about the cheater now?

I'd do the same if I were them. It's called a scare tactic.

Hello everyone.

At the moment it seems like the site will cease to exist sometime in early August due to no practical way of funding this fun. The past 7 months the site has been kept up by a few very generous people combined with some good old-fashioned stubbornes. The site is unlikely to come back as is.

Bubue.

After some 18 years, TorrentBytes (the successor to TorrentBits, the "TB" in "TBdev") has announced they'll be shutting down soon.


The site code is so ancient it has to be ran on ancient software. Site code is not easily converted to be ran on modern software due to a fuckton of file and database access done in now deprecated ways. Some access parameters are no longer supported at all and workarounds for those take a fair bit of effort to implement. Site being stuck with ancient software causes all kinds of fun issues, like the ongoing SSL issue for past ages amongst other stuff that is not as clearly visible to the end user.

Site content has been provided out of generous individuals pockets since before the site was put up, the amount of said individuals has gone down over the years as that is not exactly a cheap hobby for the occasional thank you with a lot of asking for more, but due to events the last active providers for the content must prioritize their spending from an expensive hobby into putting food on to table, if there is a table left.

Due to the things in the first paragraph the site is not exactly in a place to cover the additional running costs in case the content was to be provided by the site nor ask the funds for it from the userbase; not that there was much time to do anything between getting to know the situation and it being too late to do anything about it. The site itself and related stuff can be kept running for quite a while, but a torrent site with no torrents is a bit of an empty barrel to beat around.

It has been almost two decades since TorrentBits went down and the successor has been very, -very- close to being shut down a few times already over the years, but those cases have been different types of bad situations. It needs to happen sometime and judging by the state of things, this might be it.

I for one will never forget the frustratingly difficult signup procedure.
