SceneXViD – Specialized XViD Movie/TV Torrent Tracker Now Open

2009-11-08T06:17:00.001+05:30

I first stumbled across SceneXViD a few days ago while browsing FST - someone had opened a thread advertising the tracker there. Initially it appeared to be another forgettable tracker but it’s recorded some impressive growth over the first few days since launch. SceneXViD is a private torrent tracker that specializes in movies and TV shows encoded using XViD codec. It would have been the first private tracker of this kind but 700m.bz (Open) kinda already won that trophy. Still, SceneXViD...

Heads up – NTorrents open signups this Sunday

2009-11-07T01:10:00.001+05:30

About two weeks ago we ran an article on NTorrents (NT), a popular Nintendo games tracker, opening public signups. Unfortunately, open signups didn’t last very long and apparently a lot of our readers could not make it in time. If you are one of those souls who’s still locked out of the site, here is some good news. NTorrents will have another open signup soon and this time we are giving a heads up before it actually happens. NT will open public registrations for a few hours this coming Sunday...

How to fix 'side by side configuration is incorrect’ error in Dragon Age Origins

2009-11-06T23:10:00.001+05:30

As we previously highlighted, Dragon Age : Origins is without a doubt one of the best RPG games to be released this year. We didn’t post our routine troubleshooting article for this game simply because it didn’t have any major problems. However, several of our readers wrote to us regarding a problem they faced with the game so here is a possible fix for this seemingly common issue. Some users started receiving the following error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side...

DocsBits – A New E-Learning Torrent Tracker

2009-11-06T03:23:00.001+05:30

E-Learing torrent trackers have always had high demand in the BitTorrent community. There are so few of them and it’s usually not easy to get into the ones that are around. But here is the good news – DocsBits is a brand new E-Learning torrent tracker. The site is only a few days old and so far it looks very promising. Even though we called it an ‘E-learning’ tracker, DocsBits does not seem to be limiting itself to educational torrents. In addition to educational content the site seems to index...

2009-11-05T06:00:00.000+05:30

Here is yet another respected private tracker offering invites via FILEnetworks; CZTEAM.

Dragon Age : Origins DLC Leaks on Torrent Trackers

2009-11-05T05:00:00.000+05:30

There are games and then there are masterpieces. Dragon Age : Origins is definitely a masterpiece. Once again BioWare has delivered an amazing gaming experience at a time when high quality games are a rarity. No matter how good a game is, there will always be those who pirate it. DA : Origins is one of those games that deserves to be bought but of course, it leaked online a day before release (but generally, I’ve seen lots of folks talking of buying the game even on hard core pirate forums...

4 Sites to Download and Watch Asian Movies Free (Torrents + Streaming)

2009-11-04T07:02:00.001+05:30

If you look in any of the major general BitTorrent trackers, chances are that you won’t find a lot of Asian movies indexed. However, there are quite a few torrent trackers and online video streaming sites that *specialize* in such content. Between these sites you’ll pretty much find almost all popular Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong, Korean, Malaysian, Indonesian, Vietnamese and other movies from the the Asian region. This post summarizes information about 4 such sites. 3 of them are...

Glabella – English Music Torrent Tracker

2009-11-03T05:00:00.000+05:30

I bet single every one of you know about giant music trackers such as What.CD and Waffles.Fm. These sites are so popular that anyone new to the BT world would think that these are the only music trackers currently in existence. This however is not true. Overshadowed by the likes of What.CD, hundreds of smaller & lesser known private BitTorrent communities focusing on music still exist. This article is about one of them; Glabella. We first mentioned about this tracker in our BitTorrent...

60 Minutes Report On Movie Piracy – An Interesting Video

2009-11-03T00:08:00.001+05:30

60 Minutes, the American investigative television newsmagazine, recently did a report on movie piracy. Specialists on Intellectual Property and movie industry big shots were interviewed and the documentary highlights how much of a threat BitTorrent and online downloading has become today. It also mentions how piracy is linked to drug dealing, child pron and all other bad things in the world. Personally, I found the video to be quite humorous as it was completely biased and full of bullcr@p. It...

HDTShare (HD Universe) – HD Torrent Tracker From HDTor Crew

2009-11-02T09:22:00.001+05:30

Few months ago we ran an article on HDTor, a private BitTorrent site with Turkish and English High Definition movies and TV series. With over 12000 members, it was/is a pretty decent HD tracker. Anyways this is not another HDTor review - The crew behind HDT have launched a new private tracker known has HDTShare or HD-Universe. This new site too specializes in HD content and both movies and television series in high def formats will be available on HD-Universe. As existing members of HDTor may...

Automatically translate subtitle files with Open Subtitle Translator

2009-11-02T01:31:00.001+05:30

If you download subtitles for downloaded movies and TV shows, you might have run into the following scenario – the subtitle you are looking for is available but it’s in another language. Needless to say its frustrating when this happens as you’ll have to wait for someone to upload the correct file which could take maybe several days or may (that is, IF someone uploads it at all). Open Subtitle Translator is a handy tool to have in such situations – it’s a small program that can automatically...

HeavenTracker Invites On IRC – Private Tracker With Great Pre Times

2009-11-01T00:01:00.000+05:30

If you’ve been monitoring IRC racer channels, you might have come across the name HeavenTracker (HT). That’s because it usually comes among the top 5 in most ‘races’ – in other words this site has great pre times. However HT remains to be one of the less talked (and hyped) trackers in the BitTorrent community. It almost never has opens registrations ( 2 times in three years) and invitations/requests seem to be scarce on most BitTorrent invite forums. It’s actually quite surprising considering...

Pirated Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Sith Edition (PC) Has Crashes

2009-10-31T23:38:00.001+05:30

Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Sith Edition has finally arrived for the PC, almost a year later than its console release. I’ve had the liberty to play this game and honestly, it looked like one of the shittiest ports of 2009. First of all this game is a massive install which will take up somewhere around 25GB hard disk space - 7GB for HD movies and 18GB for game data. But that’s not the real issue – game looks almost the same as its console counterparts even after a year, loads slowly, has a...

Etiv BitTorrent News and Invites Forum – IRC Interviews Open

2009-10-31T03:32:00.001+05:30

It’s not only private torrent trackers that have been growing at a rapid pace. BitTorrent news and invite forums have also had huge successes in the past couple of months, with expanding communities and increasing popularity. Of course, not all these newly launched forums were successful – some were doomed from the start (for example when a dude launches a site just so he can get a BCG invite, that has FAIL written all over it). But the site featured in this article is by no means a failure....

NepToonS Invites Now On IRC – Classic Cartoon Tracker

2009-10-30T13:15:00.000+05:30

A couple of days ago, we posted a detailed review about NepToonS – a private torrent tracker that specializes in cartoons, mostly classics. To the disappointment of many of our readers, there were no open signups, IRC recruitment or any other way to get into the site (unless you were a member of the now defunct Fox Kids tracker). Then, one of our readers posted that NepToonS invites were available from Classic Nick Shows (CNS), one of their sister sites. Apparently a lot of folks registered on...

Out of these three sites, THC and TVTZ will be open to public signups during the coming few days. Sparvar of course wouldn’t be opening the floodgates. Instead, existing members will be given extra invites (Sparvar is celebrating 1/2 years of being online). If you have never heard about these sites...

New Ratio System At What.CD Music Tracker

2009-10-28T23:18:00.001+05:30

Let’s face it, What.cd is probably the world’s best private music tracker. Being born as one of OiNK’s piglets, What has by 2009 grown into one of the largest and most popular private BitTorrent sites in existence. With the site celebrating its 2nd birthday, a major change has been made to the it’s ratio system. This should be good news for many members, especially new ones who found it hard to seed back (and survive) on the tracker. Note that the new ratio system is not live at the time this...

BitMeTV Warns Against Ratio Cheating and Account Theft

2009-10-28T06:15:00.000+05:30

You can do a lot of bad and stupid things on a private torrent tracker but ratio cheating is one of the worst offences you can ever commit. On most private trackers, cheating will earn you a lifetime ban. Apart from banning individuals, trackers tend to ban entire countries if they find a lot of cheaters signing up for a specific country. Users of Romania could soon face another country ban from none other than BitMeTV, considered by many as the king of TV torrent trackers. In a mass PM sent to...

The Dark Syndicate Goes Ratio Free

2009-10-27T08:00:00.000+05:30

Ratio free private torrent trackers have always had high popularity among our readership. The Dark Syndicate (TDS), a gazelle based private tracker that we first featured a few weeks back, is the latest site to join the ratio-free club. The move isn’t complete yet, but the tracker is well on its way to become a no-ratio site. For those who missed the previous article, TDS is a general/0day tracker that has the backing of many staffers from the legendary Araditracker (now defunct). TDS started...

2009-10-27T06:58:00.001+05:30

Borderlands has been released and here’s our routine troubleshooting article. There isn’t much to say here as the game doesn’t have any showstopper bugs. It does not seem to be crashing for most users and that’s a good thing, because this seems to be an incredible fun FPS/RPG. Anyways this article contains some information that might help you tweak your game to bypass some minor annoyances such as not being able to enabled Vsync, AA and those annoying Field of Vision (FOV) issues. If you have...

2009-10-26T03:00:00.000+05:30

This weekend marked the shutdown of two private torrent trackers; SITR and UK-*. However, that doesn’t mean the world of BitTorrent is crumbling down. New trackers are still being launched and some sites that went down months ago could be seen returning. This post is about one such ‘returning’ tracker; NepToonS. NepToonS is a new BitTorrent site that specializes in cartoon series and season packs (including a lot of retro stuff). It’s actually a reincarnation of Fox-Kids tracker [Read Review]...

FreshOn.TV Invite Giveaway – TV Torrent Tracker

2009-10-25T12:19:00.001+05:30

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. Out of these three BMTV and TVT.Com are the most sought after trackers due to their closed signup policy. Getting into Tv.Torrents.Ro was considered relatively easier due to their random open signups. However, TVT.Ro have brought their invite system back online and since then, open signups seem to have disappeared....

2009-10-25T10:31:00.001+05:30

No matter how hard you try, you cannot keep Twitter out of the picture – this is again a Twitter related post. Huge popularity this micro blogging tool has lead to the birth of a number of different 3rd party desktop clients for the service. Up until now, we’ve mostly been using TweetDeck and web interface to update/monitor FILEnetworks Twitter account. But that was until we discovered Blu. Blu has one of the best interfaces we’ve ever seen on a Twitter client – it’s simple, it’s easy to use,...
