20 New Private Trackers: November 2010 Edition

November 22, 2010 by sharky

With Winter just around the corner, BitTorrent fans usually expect to witness a spike in activity regarding new tracker development - and this November Edition is no exception. Lots of new trackers to report about; including 2 amazing new scene trackers; 2 new HD/Blu-ray trackers to hit the scene; and even some niche sites worthy of mention.

NOTE: FSF apologizes for a lack of recent posts. As many of you already know, I (Sharky) have been ill with recent surgery which has kept me AFK. Things will go back to normal soon :)

General/Scene Trackers…

http://www.alphaomega.me

Not quite ready yet for a public launch, scene tracker AlphaOmega.me is still somewhat in beta but is currently open for registration in advance (but don’t expect it to last). Based upon Gazelle’s latest sourcecode, AlphaOmega (AO) is one of just a few trackers to employ What.CD’s new Ocelot backend code. Browse page lists 775 torrents in their first week of operation. Pros: Seedbox-hosted torrents; fast pres; also carries some P2P releases (FLAWL3SS, HDC). Cons: No ‘index’ page; no pretimes on the browse; each torrent ‘date added’ is measured in hours on Gazelle trackers as opposed to a particular time/date (H/M/S); indexes scene-spam (this could be a ‘pro’ if you’re into 0day apps listed individually).

Our prediction — No question that possessing sceneaxx is the make-or-break between 0day/scene trackers that want to be taken seriously - and AlphaOmega does not disappoint. Pretimes here easily match the big trackers; expect to find upwards of 150 new torrents auto-uploaded daily. Could be the next big thing - the quote below was pulled from their own Wiki page:

AlphaOmega (AO) was started by a group of guys that met on various top name private trackers. Most had been staff at some point or another.

 

They decided that it was time from them to come together and do things the way they couldn’t on other trackers. This staff used their abilities and experience working behind the scenes of a torrent site to build a site that would rival all others. AO was designed to blow past all others, and leave them in the dust pulling up their pants. AO’s staff is composed of elitists in the torrent world, composed of the top coders, racers, uploaders, and designers.

 

The site structure is something that has never been seen before. We are pulling releases from top group access on multiple gbit servers. At this point, each torrent is seeded from multiple gbit servers, meaning you will see the greatest speed possible. These releases are auto-uploaded meaning the pre-times are some of the best.

 

The site is beginning with seed-box only as the means of uploading and download, this provides much high speeds and is fairly rare in the tracker world. The site will never have open sign ups. Once the first round of users have been invited then they each will be given a number of invites. AlphaOmega will make it easy for members to invite friends, This is part of AO’s plan to make this the highest quality private tracker out there."

http://www.scenebytes.org

Snappy-looking sceneaxx tracker SceneBytes launched less than a month ago (2010-10-24), yet already indexes 3,500 total torrents (with 4,500 seeds) and 1,514 registered members. Pre-times are impressive, and announced under each torrent title on the browse.

Our prediction — What you won’t find at SceneBytes are P2P Releases - SB is strictly a scene-only tracker. As well, almost everything here is considered scene non-spam (there’s no xxx-imagesets, small 0day releases, and almost no music). TIP: Combine SceneBytes with AlphaOmega (see above) and you get an overall completeness of scene releases which could only be compared to having axx at both SCC & GFT. Great stuff!

http://www.torrentorb.net

  • — Category: General/Mixed     Codebase: XBTit 2.1
  • — Signup Link: here.

Online since August, we’d have expected more people to have heard about TorrentOrb - a not-so new general tracker with 383 registered members. On the browse there are 1,780 torrents, with the oldest being from 27/08/2010. Those numbers seem impressive initially, however less than 20 of these have more than one seed and we found less than 10 leechers among all those torrents. Simply put: nobody is using this tracker.

Our prediction — Perhaps XBTit isn’t the best choice of codebase for general trackers. Unless you’re a high-niche site, very few torrenters can tolerate XBTit’s layout. Despite a decent torrent count, a thumbs-down based on the blatant lack of activity & abysmal Alexa rank.

http://speed-bytes.com

  • — Category: General    Codebase: TBDev?
  • — Signup: You’ll find it.

Just a few days old, Speed-Bytes is a new mixed-content tracker with just 47 registered members and 161 torrents on the browse. There is no H&R system, although members are required to maintain a global ratio of 0.4 or higher.

Our prediction — Way too early to predict. Content varies between small apps, music packs, adult releases and regular movie fare. More activity is requisite if this one wants to stay healthy.

http://bitbitz.net

BitBitz is a brand-new nondescript general tracker that contacted us stating, "we are a new site looking for reviews good or bad". Well, we’re afraid we can’t offer either - the site is just too new.

Our prediction — Who can tell?! Online for just a couple of days, there’s 48 torrents and just eighteen (yes, 18) members. Pros: New signups receive 10GB upload credit, all torrents are freeleech until 2011 & everything appears to be seedbox-hosted. Cons: TSSE codebase, lack of members/uploaders.

Niche Trackers…

http://unleashthe.net

UnleashThe.net, as many of you already know, is a tracker created by the iMAGiNE encoding team. UTN can’t solely be classified as a movie tracker since they index all sorts of content; such as TV eps, small appz, games & music. At last check UTN has 1,470 active torrents (with about half being "movies") and 763 registered members.

Our prediction — There are 118 "IMAGiNE" releases in total at UTN. Of these, 46 are "IMAGiNE Internals" which can’t be found outside of UTN (we checked) however, these 46 are only available to the VIP userclass (good luck getting to that, read on). UTN does have a bonus system for which points can be swapped for one month of VIP access, although it costs a whopping 10,000 points. Since UTN’s seed-point system is extremely cheap whereby it only pays out a maximum of 120 points per day (max. 5 torrents X 24 hours), in a best-case scenario it will take 83.3 days to obtain 10K points (enough to purchase 4 weeks of temp VIP). This is clearly no accident; members who want to be able to download IMAGiNE’s exclusive releases are far better served by donating, which begins at $5 for 4 weeks of temporary VIP access (or $100 for permanent VIP status). Is this worth it for 46 exclusive releases? You be the judge.

http://wrestlingaxxess.org

WrestlingAxxess is BitTorrent’s newest wrestling tracker, being online since 2010-10-23. While not exclusively about wrestling, torrents for MMA/UFC also exist. Current stats (total # of torrents including inactive, as well as the number of registered members) are not displayed on the homepage.

Our prediction — Amazing design, easy browsing - all WrestlingAxxess needs is more content. With just 120 active torrents on the browse, it remains to be seen if WA has what it takes to become competitive in amongst other high-profile popular wrestling trackers.

http://uactivity.com

Online since October 30th, uActivity.com is an eLearning tracker - or more specifically, a self improvement & lifestyle tracker. To quote, uA calls itself "a private tracker that specializes in lifestyle content. uActivity will help you to share videos, E-books and audio files related to day to day human life. From Self Improvement, Fitness, Food, Drinking, Dancing, Health, Fitness, Seduction, NLP and Cooking to Magic Illusions and More."

Our prediction — uActivity is a sister site to popular eLearning tracker Elbitz, so expect a good deal of initial interest. As of 2010-11-11, uA already indexes 611 active torrents.

http://www.blu-bits.com

  • — Category: Hi-Def     Codebase: XBTit
  • — Signup Link: here.

Blu-Bits.com is a brand-new community for high-definition content - including full/untouched Blu-rays, FLAC audio releases, HD movie encodes (720p/1080p) & even HD-TV. If it’s HD, it’s allowed. To quote, "We seed our torrents with seedboxes, so even 1 seeder could give you high speeds."

Our prediction — Off to a decent start, Blu-Bits lists 92 torrents and 745 members since coming online in early November. Full BR’s are freeleech, and most everything else is half-leech - plus there’s an active request system.

http://3dblurayiso.com/forums

  • — Category: 3D Blu-ray     Codebase: Forum
  • — Signup Link: here.

Newly forged 3dBlurayISO is a forum dedicated to providing 3D Blu-ray films (BD3D ISOs, encodes & side-by-side/SBS - all in 3D). Not exclusively just a tracker, most releases contain torrents as well as DDLs (Hotfile, etc) and NZB (Usenet) links. Members need to register first before being granted privileges to view most threads, and for the tracker (which is private) users are required to maintain a 0.5 global sharing ratio.

Our prediction — Blossoming community, but because of the specific hardware requirements 3dBlurayISO won’t be for everyone. Lots of activity going on here besides just torrents (there’s 136 in all) - including 3D hardware/software discussion and other related topics. 3D-ready HDTV, shutter glasses & a playback method are not included.

http://music-torrents.org

Online since September, Music-Torrents has had plenty of time to amass a respectable number of torrents, but has failed to do so. There exists just 59 torrents (and a lowly 42 seeds) among 1,161 total members. This tracker can’t possibly be serious - with over 1K members (all of whom are permitted to upload torrents) and just 42 seeders. WTF.

International Trackers…

http://jungletracker.net

JungleTracker is a new RO/EN general tracker that’s been online less than a month. Content is a mixed-bag between scene releases (and P2P) with a penchance towards RoSubbed films. Interestingly, staff are very generous with the upload credit: a new account just two weeks old already has 95GB ‘upload’ without downloading a single torrent.

Our prediction — JungleTracker is improving lately: On November 7th they indexed just 148 active torrents, now lists 645 - with a total membership of 3,000 users & 2,565 seeders.

http://torfiles.net

There’s only so much we can say about a tracker with 50 torrents, let alone even be bothered to include them in this list. A selection of RoSubbed AxxO torrents pretty much sums it up nicely.

Our prediction — Romania is indeed home to some really great trackers, but TorFiles isn’t (and will never be) one of them. 55 total torrents since 2010-11-03 won’t win many fans. Move along, folks.
