Tracker forums that offer invites to other trackers [ARCHIVED]

[anon]

@anon I'm also curious about this. Would appreciate some insight

Well, in addition to the ones already mentioned, there's nzbs.in (the Holy Grail of indexers), FileSharing Talk (open for signups, very active, no automated uploads), AnimeTosho (anime only), Kleverig (porn only), nzbstars.com and nzbking.com. The last two are a bit of a cesspool like Binsearch, but nice for finding old stuff. JohnWick is giving away Simply NZB invites on another thread; I'm not a member, but reviews are fairly positive.

(Disclaimer: I am an administrator on FileSharing Talk.)

And btw, do you happen to know how to join Snahp?

Know someone with invite codes that is willing to give you one; in my case, it was another nice member here. Invites can be earned by becoming an uploader or donating.

Sounds exciting. Would love to know some more

Here you go.

Thanks for this suggestion, anon. Looks interesting, wasn't aware of its exist.

FST is among the oldest Internet sites in existence: it will turn 20 next year, and has offered NZBs for at least three thirds of that. Sadly its age shows through the fact no API is available, those weren't a thing at the time.

Can anyone tell me what's on the MTEAM invitation forum?

I would love to hear where else I could find some rare Soap, (MTV) Reality TVs, drama series from 90s & 2000s. My main focus was actually TV Series and BTN naturally. I've checked CinemaZ, PHD, SDBits, CRT, RF, TVV alongside BLU, UHD. TVV was the best one, so far, for finding raw DVDs & Blurays or good WEB-DLs, at least. But I couldn't find some series, even in the Usenet, such as Instant Star, Laguna Beach DVDs, Once & Again DVDs, The City etc. Whenever I came across to a rare release that I'm looking for, the release group name was always either BTN, LAZY, TEPES, HANDJOB, TrollHD or alfaHD... And their original source is BTN, PTP, MTV etc. Some releases of these groups had been spread among trackers such as PHD, AR, BLU, FL, BHD (not joined), UHD and even PTer.club. On the other hand, trying to request them whether in the trackers or forums like Snahp not brings best results, all the time. So this is why I started to this journey. I'm aware of that this is a long shot. So be it. I don't have rush anyway.

We are in a similar boat. I don't know how many times I pushed over at TVV to bring in reality shows. There is no budge. It will never happen. A BIG shame considering I believe it would catch them up (or even ahead) of BTN. Sure.. BTN has the ratio-less thing going on, but stats are very easy to get on TVV. I love the more archival feel of TVV also, similar to why I prefer to be on Orpheus over RED.

It might also be a blessing and a curse for TVV. With the invite system giving out invites per month, and the tracker being ridiculously above user cap, the influx of users who would come in would create a massive headache for staff. Everything is chill and in place now. I doubt they would want to reevaluate their entire structure just to allow a bunch of content that they have successfully not allowed for 13 years.

MTV has been really disappointing. I understand the time and effort it takes to create and maintain a tracker, but even what they have now seems so disorganized. If I were in charge (which means nothing at all..), I would start by pruning everything down and build back up, rather than build off the constantly broken shell they already have. I know nothing about technical stuff, but I more prefer trackers with setups like Orpheus and TVV - much more organized.

What content specifically are you looking for? I don't have The City, but I do have Laguna Beach. They aren't DVD rips though. They are taken from the original broadcasts, so quality isn't too good. I got it off public trackers in 2008. As for The Hills... I have original broadcasts of season 1-4. Looks like my season 5 and 6 are WEB with the exception of the season 5 specials.

I don't know much about those release groups, but I have been told in the past that TrollHD rips were always uploaded first to HDBits. If that is true than don't bother. I've been told by many sources that no one gets into HDB unless you can prove yourself as an active encoder. Only other option I can suggest for Troll content is a forum called ShareMania. TrollHD has an account there. The account doesn't seem to respond to messages though.

Isn't BTN better in archiving? They seems like TV Network (broadcaster) to me with lots of titles. It would be great to access TV Series List of BTN.

I've found The City S01 as ARiESTV DVDRip scene release and The Hills complete series in 1080p. I've also got Laguna Beach complete series as ~300 MB (1800kb/s) per episode. (Thought DVD Remux would be better in video bitrate etc.)

Here is what I'm looking for right now:
Once and Again (1999) [DVD]
Opposite Sex (2000) [Any watchable version]
Radio Free Roscoe (2003) [DVD]
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County (2004) [DVD]
Instant Star (2004) [HD/FHD WEB-DL]
Beach Girls (2005) [Any watchable version]
Falcon Beach (2006) [DVD]
Beyond the Break (2006) [DVD]
Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County (2007) [DVD]
Life Is Wild (2007) [HD/FHD WEB-DL]
The City (2008) [DVD]
Hollywood Heights (2012) [HD/FHD WEB-DL]

Yeah, Aiming BTN seems more realistic than HDB to me. I can find TrollHD releases in many places.

Recently I've discovered swedish SuperBits. They have lots of great old releases (such as DiRT scene group) and also their own encoder groups. But after all, I still believe that I'm belong to the BTN. It's my kind. It would be great chance to contribute to such proficient community and wouldn't waste of time compare to others. It would be something like contributing to your own collection. It's good one but I don't believe TVV, sorry. They looks like dying community. Hope one day I can find a chance to join BTN.

BTW, Thanks for your time.

I wouldn't know... I have a really old account at BTN that they won't reactivate. Long story....

I felt exactly the same way you do. TV is my thing. I wanted to do more than just download crap. I wanted to be a part of the community, maybe upload if I could. What really started to bother me - the perspective of staff. I'm sure all of BTN staff are nice people in real life, but the elitism really gets to me. I completely understand the need to keep out bad members. I completely understand not wanting your tracker compromised. I don't understand the ego. I mean... At the end of the day, no tracker is better than the other. It is all just a bunch of systems built the same way. It is the member base that makes a tracker great. If you are way too selective, you are also keeping out a lot of members who would contribute to the community.

I was going to say "screw it" and make MTV my home, since staff is really nice there, but there are issues in their ranks as well. I was approached to be a part of staff, and then had my application pulled once they saw I wasn't on all the elite trackers. So dumb... I just want to find a few places to call home and be done with the drama. I really don't understand why all the people who are not in BTN don't just get together and start a tracker.

The community in TVV isn't active but the uploading is. I think a lot of new members coming in have the same thought I did - it being impossible to find stuff not already there. When I finally started getting on a roll of uploading, I found tons of pockets of content to bring over. So, it has been a nice experience, and I will continue to upload. I just wish they had official recruitment threads. I thought the tracker was a lot more respected.

According to this, HDB recruits on AR, BLU and FileList. lol

I didn't notice that Guess it's not so reliable of a reference after all... I mean, has HDBits ever recruited there?

I know nothing about technical stuff

I really don't understand why all the people who are not in BTN don't just get together and start a tracker.

I would also like to see alternatives to BTN and PTP, but running a tracker is more complicated that you apparently think, implicitly or otherwise.

Before you even start, you must have a reliable host, a domain name that can't be seized easily, one or more reverse proxies, and a donation system, all of them paid for and/or operated anonymously. You may have noticed that very few trackers have a .com domain or accept PayPal.

Secondly, whichever interface and backend you choose, you'll have to modify them to suit your needs, which requires advanced technical knowledge and time. You can't clone a codebase to your server, run install.php and be done.

Then, assemble a staff team, because one person can't do it all. Whoever gets "hired" must be willing, capable and trustworthy; I don't think the consequences of them turning on you or getting compromised require an explanation.

Only once you tackle all that, just for the sake of giving people a new place to steal TV shows from, you'll actually be ready to open the doors, spread the word about your tracker in the community, and hopefully grow smoothly from there. Obviously, success isn't guaranteed (and won't happen overnight in any case), and as new members join, your hardware requirements and moderation workload will increase. Back in the day, we got several new trackers per month that never lasted long... surprisingly, things were more complicated than installing TBdev in your seedbox.

That's why the usual answer for those who request help on how to start a tracker is "if you have to ask, you are not ready". There's a lot at stake for everyone who decides to associate themselves with such a project. The German part of this forum has a section for security reviews with many examples of not doing things correctly.

There's a well managed list on PTerClub that has the list of every joinable tracker that's not on the Do not Track list...
Perhaps that should be used instead?
I saw lots of information there that was up to date.

As for TPS:

The Pirate Society (TPS)
CG: User level requires Superfan, requires proficiency in English

PTP: User level requires PU

HDB: User level requires 1080+

Or perhaps it's already here or something... idk
Copy/Pasting wouldn't take much effort on my part if you peeps don't have it :p

Dear all,

Can anyone tell me about CHDbits half yearly and yearly exams . Would it be a problem to pass without seedbox if I am just on a home connection?

I have HDS, TTG , HDC , MTeam . If i can get on CHDbits ,should all of these are enough to fill the void of not having PTP . Seems like they wont open recruitment anytime soon. And even if they open , their requirements user class will be much higher and i have already lost the interest of wild goose chase for it .

i have CHD my class Nexus ... but not any recuriment PTP?

[klai7]

MTV now recruits from Orpheus and UHDBits. You need a 6 months old account.

Does anyone have access to both GGn recruit forums? I would appreciate it.

[DUPE]

I think I directly impacted PTP's decision to stop recruiting on most private trackers. That being said. I just went through my latest mass ban and need a easy way into:

HDBits - Done
Redacted - Done
Beyond-HD - Done
PTP
BTN

Yes I understand the latter two are hard for you youngins. I've been around a while.
