Tracker: FreshOn.TV
Tracker URL: http://freshon.tv/
Open Signups?: Depends upon number of registered users, invites are disabled
Category: TV, sports, anime and documentaries
Number of Users: < 20,000
Number of torrents: ~9000

The site is Romanian, but don't let that put you off, as it is in English as well. The site has a nice, neutral blue layout, and contains the usual things: a banner, with options upon the site, as well as displaying your accounts basic information. But, also contain a search feature so you can browse the torrents, regardless of being in the browse section.

The tracker tracks mostly TV, and dips into other areas: sports, anime and documentaries. What I liked about the browsing function is that you can select you favourite series and search for torrents relating to it, and they carry an impressive list! Ofcourse this save all of about 2 seconds worth of typing, but it is an innovation nonetheless. Most of the TV shows are American Scene releases, so another reason not to be put off by the .ro.

Another decent feature is "Recommend"; essentially it's just a list of TV shows which users add to, and others can rate, but this then obivously allows you to see which TV shows you should watch. It's possible to order the best rated TV shows, showing what TV voted users liked best; the top four being "Over There", "House", "Dexter", and "Two and a Half Men", though I'm not sure I'd agree that last one is any good.

Ofcourse there is a forum to go along with the tracker. Although it does not appear to be very active, that is not to say it is dead, though, unfortunately most action seems to be in Romanian, not a language I speak :frown:.

A unique point to the forum is the fact that there is a marketplace; yes, users selling their possesions via a BitTorrent tracker - not something I see everyday, but definitely not a negative.

Speeds tend to be very good, even with seeders as low as 6 I have maxed out my 4mBit connection. There are lots of packs of TV shows, most packs have 0 to 10 seeders, but don't let that discourage you.

TV.T.RO also lists subtitle links to available content, though all subtitles are in Romanian, it does show that the site cares about it's users.

Unfortunately, TV.T.RO has had a poor past - going down for weeks at a time, many users would finds their accounts disabled - I did. Now, understandably, most downtime is unforseeable and usually the staff can do nothing about it, but one thing I look for in a tracker is stability, I'm sorry to say, not something I would associate with TV.T.RO.

However, if you find yourself unable to get a BMTV invite, TV.T.RO is a very decent and more than adequate alternative, and will most likely track the same content.

Cheating there is easy; I've used NRPG RatioMaster, moofdev RatioMaster (remember to use the memory reader for these two tools), and the Vuze Extreme Mod, all at less than 150kBps fake upload, on well leeched torrents.

Well it really is good.It has a lot of seeders and the traker level doesn't allways say how good the traker is.A lot of trakers are underastimated.

maybe it's worth mentioning that tv.torrents.ro (like tvt.com or bitmetv) only accept unpacked scene releases, no rar-files

and 720p x264 versions of 0day shows are freeleech

11.05.09, 20:34

For some reason you have been banned. If your account had been pruned, you'd get "invalid username or password".

As you haven't downloaded anything from there, it could indeed be some sort of inactivity lock. Try going to their IRC and asking why this happened.

Comments about tracker

With Bitme.tv banning .ro ip ranges it was necessary to tell them that Romanians never gonna miss them so much as they already have an excellent TV source available and that is TVtorrents.ro and perhaps ban of .ro IP ranges by bitmetv has given TVT.ro more strength as Romanian TV's fans are now more concentrating on joining TVT.ro with is yet another underrated tracker due to their random but frequent open signups It wouldn’t be wrong to say that BitMeTV, TVTorrents.Com and Tv.Torrents.Ro (now accessible via FreshOn.tv) hold the top three spots when it comes to private trackers for TV shows . In terms of users, TVT.ro's rivals such as BMTV has 20k active members and in terms of torrent index TVT.ro has over 8000 torrents as opposed to BMTV’s 16000+ and TVT.com’s 12000+. but Seeder/Leecher activity on indexed torrents at TVT.Ro is definately better then BitmetV and tvt.com which is evident from screen shots available above.

There are numerous changes that has been made since its launch and it’s not just a new skin. The entire site seems to have been rearranged and now the loading and navigation speeds are faster than they used to be. A brief summary of what's new at TVT.ro is mentioned below (quoted from a forum thread):


And the site now looks much, much better than before. New usability features such as the additional browse page for HD only torrents, too have been added. A screenshot might explain things a little better

Seeding is also very easy at tvt.ro as compared to that in Bitmetv, where HnR sometimes become unavoidable and you must have to cheat to seed properly :p, seed/peer ratios are quite satisfactory and can be put in equivalence to Bitmetv, speeds are good aswell you may easily get a swarm speed ranging from 8-20 Mbps on properly seeded torrents.

Cheating suggestions ;)

Tvt.ro is a cheating heaven for me I never had problem in here due to its darn easy to find crowded torrents in here as well as there are many free leech torrents available if you want to boost your ratio legally.


Cheating Application : SBI's Vuze extreme
Cheating Mode: speed++

Maximum cheating speed used: 5Mbps for 18Hrs
Maximum safe speed suggested: below 1Mbps

Cheating with 0 swarm speed:Safe
Cheating with 0 Peers conected: safe but not necessary

If you are inactive more than 2 months, there is no chance to reactivate your account or may be if you cheated there that should be another reason for disable your account. btw here you go

Hi, thanks for the quick responses. No, haven't cheated, always D/L their 'freeleach' 720P stuff, and/or seed back 100% of what's not free. Been active everyday for 2 years. I'm new to IRC...D/L'd xchat
installed it, and(I think) connected to channel tvt(using 2600net)...it came back with 'Now talking on #tvt bartholomew.2600.net sets mode +n #tvt bartholomew.2600.net sets mode +t #tvt, and asked if this was TV Torrents RO, and waited.....for hours....no response Their web page says that 'the IRC channel is currently online'.

Ok, was able to connect via IRC...their mod says that even though I had a ratio of 2.78, I wasn't seeding 1:1, or 24 hrs for each torrent.
Since I was d/ling mostly freeleach stuff, I didn't think I had to seed back each torrent for 24 hrs. Now I know better.

No, I don't treat him harshly. I'm just joking, anon, that's why I put a smilie after my question.

I mean why he don't asking in general Bt forum like FST or Zeropaid?. It' ll exposed his identity and endangered his account if the mods there happen to be watching us.

I know he's not an expert in IRC. I was asking about the wrong forum to join not about wrong or ignorant question. :confused2:.

This is a 'cheater board'? I didn't know that. I googled TV Torrents Ro forum, and your site was one of the few that came up. I have no intention of cheating. I always seed back 100%, or more, as I know that it's a sharing community...the more I share, the more other will post...like the old saying...'what goes around, comes around'. Well, I guess they don't want me back, even though I explained that I thought what I was doing(for over 1.5 ys) was following their rules...I D/L'd about 45GB, and I seeded back over 150GB....I guess that counts for nothing. Ah, well, I'm off to find other sites...anyone have suggestions...mostly into HD TV and Space/nature documentaries. Not into movies so much, fear the wrath of legal action.

Thanks for all the useful info...Took a look at TVTorrents.com...seems they need an invite,
and I'm not sure of how to get one. I'm currently researching
the link SBfreak supplied...whoa, didn't realize that there
were so many trackers out there. I don't own a TV, so I'm not
able to access the ScienceHD and Discovery channel, but I
googled it and found ScienceHD, which I have applied for
membership. Thanks again everyone, researching all this will keep me
busy for a few days.

08.06.10, 14:24
You can make a TvT.com request in our invite area, although I'd advice you become a bit more active here before doing so. It's clear you're not a cheater, but you don't have to be one to be a helpful user around here. :smile:

As you probably have discovered already, ScienceHD is a tracker, not a TV channel, so you don't need a TV set to use it :biggrin:

We changed the invite system since many new users joined us too easily. See the following scheme for details:

• 1 invite / 3 months - Collector
• 1 invite / 3 months - Freak
• 2 invites / 2 months - Maniac
• 2 invites / 2 months - Master
• 3 invites / 1 month - Guru
• 3 invites / 1 month - Guest of honor

I agree, it was too easy, but now it'll be as hard as TVT.com.

o Guest of Honor - Assigned by the Staff members at their discretion to users they feel contribute something special to the site. (Anyone begging this status will be automatically disqualified.)
o Uploader - Appointed by the Staff members (see the 'Uploading' section for conditions).
o TV Operator - You don't ask us, we'll ask you !

A few years ago we started the freeleech system for the HD torrents in order to promote HD movies and we think we achieved that goal.
Therefore we decided to make some changes:

* all torrents containing one HD episode (720p, 1080i or 1080p) smaller than 10gb will be only 50% free. (ie: a 1gb torrent will be counted to your ratio with only 500mb)



Other than that, the freeleech system remains unchanged:

* all torrents larger than 10gb, HD or not, will be 100% free.

That's it...i'm migrating to TVT.com, too many new rules...

I don't think they're going to ban you, but the truth is, none of us knows. However, if you talk to the staff calmly and expose the situation, you should get the invite back with no issues. Remember, you don't have to be a cheater for this (someone not using your invite) to happen.

Is it possible that my uSerenity "fake upload" doesn't work as intended on this tracker? Usually from other trackers when there's one leech connected it starts fake uploading, but here it starts when download finishes.
