What the private BitTorrent scene is missing is a good, large-scale tracker that focuses solely on movies, specifically HD releases. If you can see into our crystal ball, TehConnection will fill that niche market as a dedicated movie tracker of monumental scale.
UPDATE: July 13/08 They now have almost 11,000 users (out of a 15,000 limit) with 1,750 torrents.
“OiNK For Movies”
Billed as the next “Oink for Movies”, TehConnection is striving to become a colossal tracker in the style of OiNK. Here’s a quote from the TC admin team:
“It will be focusing on something that the staff enjoy alot: Movies. Movies, movies and more movies, this is what we are all about! We are all about the love of movies. To put it simply, Ill use a quote from Sturner16 a Global Moderator here at TC… “Imagine the late OiNK (RIP), now imagine OiNK as an all movie tracker… there you go, you have TC!”
TC is presently in “beta” mode, and the official Global Launch is expected to be as soon as next week. They’re presently accepting only 1,000 users in this beta phase, so if you want to get an invite, now’s the time - there aren’t many spots remaining. Here’s a few of TC’s features:
| Browse | Stats | IMDb Info | Forums |

Another great feature on TehConnection is the extensive IMDB.com information given for all their releases. TC is like IMDb with torrents! There’s also YouTube ‘trailers’ for all movie releases, as well.
Built on Security
TC is all about security. Here’s a quote from one of the admins of TehConnection:
“Another big issue in the life of torrents nowadays in Security. Well look no further, we ourselves are very security minded, so we have done our best to make TC a safe tracker. We host in Canada (Oh Canadaaa) one of the few countries in the world, where torrents are legal! In the datacenter we will be hosting in, they have an estimated 25-30 private torrent sites online and over 100 public torrent trackers. To top it all off, we have a secure private cage/rack available to us whenever needed! How does the cage protect us, well apart for the biometric scans and card key access you need to enter the facility, it will be located in an undetermined section of the massive datacenter.”
Features:
— Larger-than-life - TehConnection is not going to be one of those tiny elitist trackers that only lets in a few thousand members. They’ll be opening signups until 50,000 members are reached (and invites ’till 75,000) so users can be assured there’ll be loads of seeders and leechers alike. (Think “TorrentLeech”).
— A heavy focus on DVDR’s and HD releases - Aside from the regular fare such as XVID, TC also offers DVD5, DVD9, HD and x264 in both PAL and NTSC standards.
— TC promotes user contribution - Members will be able to submit their own content, unlike most private trackers these days. Not only will this be great for everyone’s sharing ratio, but it opens up the doors for a diverse and eclectic selection of movie releases.
— Proper ‘Scene Releases’ - alongside with user-submitted content, TC will offer all the movie releases that are found on 0day trackers. Pre-times will be “as good or better than found most anywhere else”. Great news for movie-lovers!
