Tracker: TheBox
Tracker URL: TheBox :: Login (http://www.thebox.bz)
Open Signups?: Depends upon number of registered users, invites are enabled
Category: British TV and Radio. No films.
Number of Users: ~75,000
Number of Torrents: ~40,000
The layout of TheBox is similar to most other trackers, with basic functions near the top, and your profile's stats being displayed; this has not been changed much in the (close to) two years it's been around, though a banner change did occur around January of 2009.
As is mentioned, TheBox tracks around 40,000 torrents; that's huge! And it's growing; each day around 50 torrents are uploaded. Most is content uploaded by members themselves, and there are relatively few Scene releases. You see, TheBox is a very unique place: they have their own cappers. Just under 35 in total, these people cap the vast majority of British TV, for nothing :klatsch_3:. Who needs The Scene, right?
TheBox also has very strict rules as to what can be uploaded; it has to be atleast 2/3 British produced TV, TV-movie, or Radio, andin very special cases, audiobooks. Because of this, not everything can be uploaded, and those who wish to upload can ask for permission first; "D" goes through each requesting, checking it's production background, and stating whether it can be uploaded or not. The result? High quality British TV and radio. They even go so far as to moniter what you name your torrent when you upload it, so it is easy to find! Formats vary; only a few formats are banned, but the majority of content is in .avi, and DVD-R (NTSC and PAL are both allowed).
So perhaps you aren't interested in the latest British drama, or what have you. There's still plenty of other material. Football (soccer) / cricket / rugby (union and league) / snooker / motoGP; so much sport is available you don't need to even download a TV show from TheBox to appreciate it.
The forums are very active, and all participating members are kind and helpful. Ofcourse there's the general chat section, to talk about shows, the helpdesk (for help with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS!). Though, perhaps the best part to the forum, is the other tracker section! You can find individual threads for different trackers, where you can ask for an invite, or trade; (they even giveaway free What.CD invites) however, you have to be a power user + to post in the other tracker section.
Two other great features are the radio and chat. Recently the shoutbox was replaced with an IRC Java applet, so it's not much hassle to socialise, and the radio is fairly new is as well. Another feature is it's request box; you would have thought with 40,000 torrents there wasn't much else to British TV, but there is. Most requests seem to be for 70s and 80s TV shows, so unless it's on DVD, they are rarely filled.
Speeds are good; if you download a TV show that you missed last week, the torrent could easily have 200+ seeders. Enough to max out any connection (excluding Koreans with the 100/100mBit :icon_angry[1]:) If it was an old episode, it's probably been put into a pack, and will likely have less than 5 seeders. Again, if a torrent dies, you always have the option to request a re-seed. There are also quite a few users with seedboxes, and again has it's own forum help and topic section. Most cappers own seedboxes as well, so torrents are seeded quickly.
Honest ratio keeping is no problem. There are hundreds of freeleech torrents, contests (where the winner recieves x Gb), and just seeding on it's own is enough to keep a decent ratio. If this fails however, there's even a section where you can request people download a torrent you are seeding, and there are plenty of volunteers!
In terms of cheating; I cheated once with NRPG RatioMaster and was instantly banned, but I got an account there again, and I've never had to cheat. If you have cheating info please post.
In conclusion, if you are a Brit, or just interested in British TV, then this is one tracker to definitely have in your arsenal. Missed you favourite program? It's on TheBox within an hour. Wanting the latest Top Gear, Skins, East Enders, Corrie, but live abroad? It's on TheBox. TheBox is a wonderful community; from their own capping team to the more than welcoming and helpful people in the forums, who are there to help you, invite you, and talk to you. But, as is more than obvious, if you aren't from the UK, or don't speak English, then you probably won't appreciate it as much.

Great job with the reviews. :top:
As more are written we could make an index thread. :smile:
Hmm Splicer if you don't mind i could post some reviews to?:biggrin:
Yeah,nice idea anon,we could really do that soon & make a whole index for all self written reviews.
Hmm Splicer if you don't mind i could post some reviews to?:biggrin:
Definitely; I can't be a member of all sites can I? Go for it man!
But I only ask three things:
1. That they be your own work, not copy + pasted from elsewhere.
2. They are written in the best English you can achieve. This will give a professional feel, and users who use translators will find it easy to read. Example: use of "u" versus "you".
3. That you stick to a format for each post. Again for a professional feel, and also makes it nice and neat.
I use this format:
Basic Info
Appearance
About the site in general; content / rules / forums
Speeds
Cheating there from your own expirience
A conclusion to some up the site
A screenshot of the site's "Browse" page
Hehe. I think I can post some aswell. Already made some for elite forums in the past... only the screenies will need an update :wink:
But good idea with those reviews. I like it :smile:

That is a damn fine idea, Aurion.
HOw come you come up with such good ideas and they just pass me by??
No, seriously, I think that having such reviews would really help out others thinking or desiring to join such a tracker.
There's too many sites to name and honestly, when one has such reviews on the tip of thier fingertips, having such reviews really would help. I think its a fine idea.
And just for that, I'm'a gonna 'thank' you.
-
also guys a small suggestion in the reviews include the tools which is best suitable to cheat there
kinda would make it much better :wink:

This won't be brief but I'll try. Coming for an extreme noob on this site I wanted to say thanks to everyone who works hard at their skills and who shares their wealth of knowledge with the less knowing and experienced. Thanks!
I am not new to computers in the least and not new to torrents or private trackers but some of the terms and chatter is above even me. I ran into a problem and after about 4 hours of research on this site I decided to join so I can pick the brains of the great posters. I run a business that is in trouble from the current recession and my time is split between making a living, taking care of my family and kids, and trying to maintain my sanity. I use the torrents to get what I want and need so I can save my cash for the important stuff. My time is valuable like everyone else and it's hard to spare more than 30 minutes a day but I am making time to further my eduction.
My problem with thebox is that I wasn't planning on staying a member but they have added security that didn't allow me to get what I wanted and I always find a way. I was put on a no download list and then after finding this site I cheated my way back into downloading again but the problem was I was trying to maintain a standing ration of at least .80 but wanted to boost my stats so I could finish these two downloads which topped 25gigs. I set my download low so compensate for what I thought was a good plan but apparently nobody else was downloading this file but me and now I am banned. I am smarter and more careful than that but I really wanted this download. I created another account from a different location and I downloaded a few things to test out greedy torrent to make sure I had the settings right and got banned again. I have one other account setup from a third location and I don't want to burn that account just yet.
I changed my IP a few times and tried to use the AOL, Router, and a few others I saw posted here recently (May 4 2009) I keep my cache cleaned out along with the cookies and I have other things in place for normal protection. Even though I changed my IP they still had my as being blocked and I have tried almost everything I can find besides changing my MAC address. Does anyone know how they are still blocking me even though I am using a different IP? I saw a few people who talked about being banned from thebox a lot of times and I was wondering how they were able to get that many accounts if it was using the same computer and connection or did they go to different locations. I am using XP, with Utorrent 1.8.1, Greedy Torrent, Cable modem on a decent system. Any and all info will be appreciated. Thanks.
My apologies for the long post as I know your time is valuable and I appreciate it.
Does anyone know how they are still blocking me even though I am using a different IP?
That happened to mmmmm too. TheBox blocks IP ranges, rather than individual addresses.
You mention having a Cable connection - try the IP switching script that's on my signature. There's a small chance it gives you a completely different range, which combined with clearing cookies, cache, etc. should re-enable you to use the tracker. :top:
TheBox.bz is an amazing torrent site.

Please share the details of the torrent:
Was it a pack torrent?

Also, if you mean Extreme Mod, did you use any spoof?
Please share the details of the torrent:

It was just a single file torrent.
I can't remember exactly what it was, probably a half hour episode of something... so about 300mb?
No idea on the seeders/leechers sorry.
Also, if you mean Extreme Mod, did you use any spoof?
Yeah I meant Extreme Mod, spoofed to Vuze 4.2.0.2 .
Edit:
I use speed mode++, with "Intelligent Mode" and "Add your real upload..." checked.
Fake upload speed around 50-100.
Those settings have worked everywhere else I've tried without problems.
If you want any more info let me know. :smile:
Can you post the SB-I Hack settings you used?
Great review!!
Good source of UK TV Shows
Nice statistics too!
Number of Users: ~75,000
Number of Torrents: ~40,000
Can you post the SB-I Hack settings you used?
That's pretty much everything in my post. Anything in particular you need?
Just seen your edit, sorry.
If you got to do real upload, "add your real uploaded amount..." could have made you overfake. Also, even though you had intelligent mode on, 50-100kB/s is a bit too much for a The* tracker - better make it 20-30kB/s next time.
TheBox is open (http://thebox.bz/signup.php) if you want to try again.

Hmm, interesting posts around here, lol. Just stumbled onto this place, googling about. Just some observations:
1) Jait checks threads like this. When he hears of a cheating method he hasn't heard of, he either comes up with something to counter it, or bans the client that can do it.
2) It's been open signups for ages. They want as many people as possible, to replace the people they're driving away with their heavy handed policies.
3) Don't believe anything smpjc08 tells you. He can say he has so many cappers, but seriously, he's losing cappers, because he's treating them like crap. The guy couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it. Trust me on this one.
4) It's extremely easy to keep a good ratio there. They have a Free Leach of the Week, free first episodes, free soaps, and seriously, it's not that hard to actually upload there. You don't even need permission.
5) While they used to be picky on descriptions, last time I was there, they had seriously slipped in quality.
6) Don't post in the forums there. There was a fairly strong forum community last year, but most of the regulars have had their forum rights threatened in the past few months, starting around December.
In fact, most of the people who were active last year, either in the forums, capping, uploading, or on the staff (but no longer), are and have been seriously concerned about the insanity the last few months since Jessamy left. My recommendation: If you really like UK tv, either go elsewhere, or keep your head very low. I'll admit, I upload elsewhere now, and think that the quality where i'm at now is just as good or better than thebox for uk tv. I'm not sure I'll ever return to thebox, though I used to be a very active member. Funny how I keep running into others that used to be very active.
...............
1) Jait checks threads like this. When he hears of a cheating method he hasn't heard of, he either comes up with something to counter it, or bans the client that can do it.............
Well, I doubt that he checks any threads like this very often cuz if he did, he'd have banned 1.6X a long time ago.
Unless of course, someone tells him that there's a thread here, yes??
And at TheBox.bz, that client is still accepted. Thankfully.
IMHO, I find that content at TheBox is actually not bad.
Some of the content is actually good. It really depends on one's own personal likes and dislikes.
And at that site, I can't believe the ratio I've built up there.
It's almost embarrassing in fact.
AT one point, I"ve had to stop cheating cuz I was actually embarrassed to have a ratio that looked like it was on hemorrhoids or something.
It's bloody huge.
EDIT: I think it would be ok for one of the staff from theBox to come here. This place doesn't have anything against tracker staff anyways.
this place is fairly tolerant of tracker staff.
We don;'t ban tracker staff here anyways.
But I guess he likes to ban us, though :(

CrazyChick, you take that risk with every tracker as long as cheating info is made public. The PMR no longer works at What.cd. Same goes for ghostleeching and ScT. But no tracker ever will be able to ban moderate, intelligent cheating made with the right tool/mod.

I haven't talked to jait in ages, and could care less what people do there nowadays. I mean, you don't have to cheat to get banned; sometimes they ban people (like myself) for pointing out the obvious. Actually, I'm not using my normal username here, because there's probably enough clues as is, but I did want to point that out. I have a friend who was banned for cheating for seeding a file from both his seedbox and personal computer at the same time (or that's what I surmised, from clues he left me.) I was in their support channel for months, and the vast majority are banned for creating a dupe account, because they entered ratio watch.
I'm not crazy enough to point this site out to them. When I left thebox, I had all kinds of crazy crap happen to me, and really, I don't need people like that around me. And yeah, they do have some good stuff there. On the otherhand, I already watched it!
I guess maybe the banned you from theBox b/c as you were pointing out the obvious, they (staff @ theBox ) didn't want others to know about it and thus you were banned from it.
well, frak t them, then.

What shoulder said + why don't mR and the RM work there anymore? They should.
I don't use mR too much so there may be a bug on it (emulation?), but when it comes to the RM I'm pretty sure there aren't any.

I know this beacause I was banned with this^^
I'm assuming you took all necessary precautions, so I'll test both tools on TheBox today or tomorrow, after I've finished installing MicroXP on my D:.
yeah, although they're open thebox is not so easy to cheat on. in some regards they can be compared to waffles & co so i like to use them as a test site.
I think the box is one of the hardest trackers on which I ever want to cheat.

tried using proxy but even then couldnt
mRatio??? What emu? I got banned there with almoust every emu!
I think you got me wrong? :tongue: I only tried mR there once and got banned because of using high speeds, but other people were disabled a few minutes after clicking Start. So I think there must be a bug on its emulations, but haven't checked this yet.
Yes ok. I have tested severel emus of mRatio on the box and i got banned every time. Only the ABC emu seems to work.

mmh, good to know. i.e. mratio is out for trackers that are more picky :eek13:
the tracker just banned uTorrent 1.8.5 and 1.8.4, horrible decision :rolleyes2:
Yes, specially since many people are sticking with 1.8.5 instead of 2.x, as they see the latter branch buggy or slower.
Yes, specially since many people are sticking with 1.8.5 instead of 2.x, as they see the latter branch buggy or slower.
The strange thing is they allow older version (utorrent versions 1.6.1, 1.7.7, 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 and new ones 2.0.1.0.
I agree RM doesn't work on Thebox. I was banned today, basically maybe if you used extremely slow speeds like 10-15 that would work but then it wouldn't make much sense since it would thake forever to fake a decent torrent.
Any one knows if ther is something that works on Thebox besides shumod ? My guess is that RF doesn't work there. What some other fake uploader that work in 2010 ?
saebrtooth
14.05.10, 10:46
It is VEM (Vuze Extreme Mod)
when u were banned what settings did u use, emulation, was t instant ban, did u use memory reader?
as far as RM goes I've used utorrent 1.8.2 emulation that's the one I have and yes I've used memory reader.
My gues is that I've used different speeds and maybe went to far with 47. Firstly it was 1 then 7 then 11 then 22 next 30 and at the end 47.
I know that when you use extremely slow speeds it's safe but then it takes so much time... and i'm looking for some quick methods to fake my upload.

14.05.10, 14:21
i have got banned today too :(, i used utorrent 1.8.3 settings., upload speeds around 300KB/s.
some weeks ago, i found cheating here was very easy and i got to PU
Either they've upgraded their scripts to check the multi tracker URL thingy or you two did something wrong.
I'd say very slow speeds are safe. Around 10.

I once thought the same of IPT :biggrin:
I didn't download a single byte from the box nor did I cheat there but from reading the forum here; talks about cheating in thebox.bz are serious, not as serious as what.cd obviously :biggrin: but I concluded that they do have good scripts
I remember seeing an screenshot of a TheBox admin on another site, saying several other trackers have offered to pay to get their anti-cheat scripts, yet they declined the offers. :lol:
yet they declined the offers. :lol:
and this I cannot understand. if they sold those scripts they'd get more money that could be well spend. Starange reaction...
A determined cheater could buy them and check what the script does not detect.

:D pretty good, too bad no one bought irt then :D
How can someone buy something that isn't for sale...?
We're talking about an hypothetical case where the scripts are for sale. :happy:
saebrtooth
18.05.10, 04:45
And even if they were for sale Im sure it would be modified before giving it to anyone otherwise TheBox scripts would become completly useless
If they're modified then there's no interest in buying..
saebrtooth
18.05.10, 14:35
if they were modified and still catch cheaters, how would the buyer know if it isnt the original? No script is perfect and Im sure the creator has improved upon them creating v1, v2 v3 etc scripts these would also be considered modified
tokiodrift1
18.05.10, 14:47
True, there are too many mods, tools, etc.
Its not possible to handle all this stuff in one script.
There will be always a leak.

edited : RatioMaster for me doesn't work on TheBox anymore I was banned too and i was slow using speeds.
it had worked for me few days ago i had used speeds of 60-80 upload with latest ut emu tcp listener on
if vem works there then rm with mr also work
no reason it will not work as vem with ut spoof is sometimes not working on what but rm with mr works on what perfectly as many trusted members used it.

Indeed, even OiNK was cheatable. With the right mod/tool, torrent, speeds and method you can never go wrong.

you also have to keep in mind that the tools were not as good as they're now at that time

That means u would really have to know much more than now cheating good at Ws and Bitme's

Correct, the Shu Mod was the only undetectable one at the time. The cheating scene has advanced a lot since then... for example, the RM once was overly detectable, but not anymore :happy:
well I had different experience with Thebox and RM version 1.8.9. I used utorrent 1.8.2 emulation cause its the utorrent i always use. As for fake upload speeds it was 10-20 kB/s
When I changed the speed to 20 kB/s my acc was gone :D like that.
I'm wondering what version of RM are you using on thebox ?
well I had different experience with Thebox and RM version 1.8.9.
Why not 1.9.0?
fakeup, did you use memory reader correctly? Strange that you got banned... I think 1.8.9 is fairly good version still.
saebrtooth
20.05.10, 03:36
fakeup's account woud have been insta banned if he used bad ids.
His speed may be the matter in q
As for fake upload speeds it was 10-20 kB/s
When I changed the speed to 20 kB/s my acc was gone :D like that.
I'm wondering what version of RM are you using on thebox ?
So u were using 10-20KBs then switched to 20KBs? Or were u using 10-20KBs at time of ban? So what were u using before that
And as anon said RM 1.9.0 is recomended
So u were using 10-20KBs then switched to 20KBs? Or were u using 10-20KBs at time of ban? So what were u using before that
Here's what I did, I used my utorrent 1.8.2 to download some film then I started faking with RM 1.8.9 emu by held0t ver 1.0 To make it more realistic I started with 1kB/s speed after a minute i've changed to 6kB/s then iafter 1 minute i changed to11kB/s then I went for 16kB/s ad eventually I've changed to 20kB/s upload speed.
As soon as it reached 20kB/s i was banned. Yes I've used memory reader.
And as anon said RM 1.9.0 is recomended
OK if no one tried RM 1.8.9. on the box these days with succes I guess 1.9.0 version would be the best.
Here's what I did, I used my utorrent 1.8.2 to download some film then I started faking with RM 1.8.9 emu by held0t ver 1.0 To make it more realistic I started with 1kB/s speed after a minute i've changed to 6kB/s then iafter 1 minute i changed to11kB/s then I went for 16kB/s ad eventually I've changed to 20kB/s upload speed.

rm 1.9.0 with ut latest emu for members works like a charm i used speeds of 80+ also at time but mostly between 60-80
if ur not a member u can also try ut 1.8.1 which also works fine.

@fakeup next time try using the Advanced tab in RM to change ur speeds, it will be much slower than ur method but also much safer
@saebrtooth

Unless you have issues with it, there's no reason to stick with an old version when there's a newer one available.
if ur not a member u can ...
...register at Moofdev and get the client files from there.
Where are these box.bz invites, ebay? Or else where? Is there a specific site for invites?
OK will divulge all my info. but first should I move my posts to 'TheBox.bz is hard to cheat' like Ticko says?

this is the review thread for thebox.bz the link i posted is the thread for cheating experiences on that tracker.
Invites to different trackers are different to come by. This forum has a private invite area which you must obtain a member title to access. The link for info on how to obtain a member title is the best place to learn how. here is the link: http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?threadid=16868

Just wait for them to open signups...
Thank you Instab for moving my posts, I will add my leeching details there for theboz.bz.
Also many thanks to Ticko and Anon for the advice. I will look for an invite but if that fails I'll just wait for sign ups to start again. I seem to remember there being a web site or was it a program, that can tell you as soon as a trackers sign-ups are open. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
As a side note; I wonder what the new guidelines for ISPs to handle customers suspected of illegal file-sharing are going to be like (in Britain that is)? I heard on the news that they are going to be released this week. ooops - I bet this is supposed to be on a different thread. Please forgive me, I don't often frequent forums.........:stupid:

BTRACS is what you're looking for:
Bittorrent TRackers Automatic Checking System - A.K.A BTRACS (http://www.btracs.com/)
There are a few other services of its same kind, as well as an app, yes:

It's currently open....TheBox :: Signup (http://www.thebox.bz/signup.php)
Many thanks shawshankraj. Your link takes me to the sign ups, but I couldn't go through thebox.bz page. Don't know what was going on there, something with firefox maybe???? :top:
I don't think it's because firefox.Any addons that may interfere with the site?

Don't know, is there a way to list and copy them?
I don't think it's one of your Firefox addons that's causing this "problem", but you can post an screenshot of them if you want. I'm more inclined to believe you're not the only one that wants to register on TheBox, just look at the time difference between shawshankraj's post and yours.

Do they still give away what.cd invites? :D
Go to thevault.bz and get it :)

I think that offer got removed due to abusers.
So its still available at thevault?
Yes, unlimited invite to whatcd, bmtv in PU forum.
Does VEM with NO report work on this tracker ?
They are shutting down on 1st Sept 2013. :frown:

I thought all .bz are successful trackers :(
can't believe it's shutting down - i doubt anything will really take it's place, as it was the only place i know of to get a lot of the old (pre 1960's) bbc comedy and drama...
r.i.p. thebox.

How big is their file collection? Perhaps some people with uber-HDDs can coordinate to download it all and keep it available?

I think Board Message (http://forums.mvgroup.org/) got the same stuff as thebox

~100k torrents, lets say 0,5-1 GB per torrent on average, total: 50-100 TB
up to 100 torrents per day, they would need up to one 3TB hard drive every month to backup all the uploads...maybe to just periodically dump it all onto usenet would be an alternative option
thats the trouble with filesharing, no proper/organized/maintained backups, files become scattered on numerous/random (user) hard drives, unreachable, damaged/modified, forgotten, seems no one is interested, let alone financially able, to sort this mess out in any meaningful/useful/advanced way
Maybe they're switched their name something like www.z95.fmin roman numbers 95 is xcv, switch 95 with xcv.

Those numbers are pretty big, but based on what I know about the tracker, I had no doubt they would be.

That's not a downside, it's part of the attractive. When many people all across the globe have copies of one thing, that's the most resilient backup system ever. Now, being able to reliably and quickly "restore" those backups... is a different matter.
"Real men don't use backups, they post their stuff on a public FTP server and let the rest of the world make copies." -- Linus Torvalds
"Real men don't use backups, they put their stuff in an archive named windows_nt_4_source_code.zip, publish it in filesharing networks and let the rest of the world mirror it." -- Variation of the above quote

Wow you are an awkward one.
Yes they cloned the full site at zxcv.fm & only donors & above got invited .

copies will spread no matter where they came from, so this is already a given (outcome) - keeping things organized/maintained/available/backuped/... takes extra effort, but relying on random average joes to properly take care of this content and keep it available is a major downside (like: lets hope they do...lets hope that when the need arises, the files will still be available)
also, whats the point of a backup if you can't (reasonably reliably and quickly) do a restore with it?
"Real men don't use backups, they post their stuff on a public FTP server and let the rest of the world make copies." -- Linus Torvalds
- not entirely truthful, i'm sure he made plenty backups of his own code while developing it
- easy to say when referring to popular content, like linux
- and when the server data eventually becomes damaged/unreliable, to restore the content, they use...wait for it...backups
- what he meant was probably: real men use others to do their backuping for them
- real men? thats a good one hehe
If you were an Extreme User and above you can login to new site, at least I'm logging in.
new site?
i was only a power user, but i'm on the forums at the moment and everyone seems a bit lost as to where to go next...

I'm extreme (or at least that's how i'm categorized), and have gotten no secret email or message. Don't anyone feel that they're being excluded because they didn't seed enough. They may be doing something and not telling everyone, but it's apparently not something that's based on one's user classification.
There are reasons to hope, as anyone that's read the various goodbye threads could know, but... Who knows what the future holds...Not me.

edit:
Actually, i just found out.
If you haven't heard something by now then you - like me - are buggered.
I get the impression they want to keep this new site very low-profile, but how are they choosing who gets in..?
no emails here. i never participated in the community though, so no real surprise :P
http://www.z95.fm/ is not working...

Anyway, word about the secret site just got out on FST (with screenshots!), so if they had any hope of remaining low-profile, it just went to hell.

Probably based on who donated them the most money over the years.
