Edit: Signup Link confirmed:
We expect RevoTT to increase their user database by at least 40%. RevolutionTT added an additional 27,000 users in four short days during their last ‘open signups’ Happy New Year promotion that ran January 1st - 4th, 2009.
NOTE: The last time they ran the GoodWillWeekend promotion, aspiring members had issues with the ability to view the captcha on the signup page through Firefox and Opera browsers. No telling if they’ve fixed the problem this time around - if not, use Internet Explorer to sign up at RevolutionTT.
RevolutionTT …At A Glance
For those of you who don’t know about RevolutionTT - in a nutshell they’re a general/0day tracker for both scene and P2P releases. RevoTT (or RevTT) remains one of the great 0day sites in existence; a must-have tracker for just about every torrenter. Instead of boring you with current tracker info, we’ll explain some of RevoTT’s strongpoints on a personal note:
• Is one of just a handful of trackers that has a bonafide SSL (https) tracker (in addition to site SSL browsing). Great for those who want to hide their BitTorrent traffic from their ISP, or from anyone else snooping in on the downloads.
• Similar to TL and IPT, RevoTT has a ton of peer activity so maintaining a good ratio is easy. Everything is well-seeded, with loads of leechers on all newer torrents.
• Indexed 18,000 torrents at the beginning of 2009 - today lists 25,500 (a 42% increase).
• Had an Alexa traffic rank of 26,212 back in January 2009. Today; ranked at 19,654.
• Unlike most 0day/general trackers, RevoTT doesn’t offer invites automatically to its qualifying members. Invites need to be requested through a designated forum link (traditionally, just 1 or 2 invites are given out for each) but mods/staff are generally very quick to approve invite requests.
• Good source for Pr0n. Not shy to index adult content, and currently lists nearly 3,000 torrents (11.3% of their overall torrents are in the adult categories). Unlike large dedicated adult trackers that index clips and other nonsense, RevoTT generally sticks with just Scene/P2P releases only.
• Great Request System. Scratch that: RevoTT has an unbelievable request system. If you seek it and ask, more likely than not that some uploader will fill your request - no matter how obscure. And it won’t cost you a data ‘bounty’, either - although we should note that only PUs and up are able to make requests. Noteworthy, torrents tagged [REQ] make up nearly 4,000 torrents on the site (15.5% overall are requested torrents).
• Largest torrent: 126 GB. Remarkably, 10 of the 20 largest torrents are filled requests (packs, of course).
• Oldest active torrent: Added on April 10th, 2006.
• In-house encoders/P2P groups. Maybe a bit of a risk for us to emphasize, but it’s true that RevoTT is home to uploaders, encoders and P2P groups - many of which can’t be found anywhere else. We can’t elaborate any more on that, aside from the fact that special content sets RevoTT apart from many other general trackers.
RevolutionTT - Our Opinion
If you’re looking for 0day releases as fast as they can be pumped out, then RevoTT might not be for you (then again, neither is TL or IPT). Stick with the scene specialists (SCC, ScT, ScL or GFT) for this. But if you don’t mind waiting the extra 30 minutes or so, RevoTT provides all the same scene content yet also serves up amazing packs, filled requests and internal torrents not found anywhere else. RevoTT is only underated by torrenters that are not a member.
We’ll update this article as soon as the signup link is confirmed.
