SeedMore - The Hidden Blog Tracker

December 30, 2009 by sharky

Under normal circumstances FSF doesn’t often review older trackers, as torrent forums pretty much have this market adequately cornered. But since we couldn’t find a review on Seedmore.org anywhere, we thought we’d put it out there. On the surface SeedMore is a Wordpress blog, very much similar to yours truly, except without all the P2P content. But underneath the bogus blog, there lies a well-established private tracker with more than 13,800 torrents. We should also mention that they’re open for registration.

SeedMore has always aimed to keep a low profile - but has recently chosen to go ‘open reg’ for a limited time:

SeedMore Stats & Info:

  • Online Since: ~3 years
  • Tracker Content: General (Scene, P2P and internal releases)
  • # of Torrents: 13,868
  • New Torrents Daily: 65-70 (on average)
  • # of Members: 12,388 / 20,000 (max)
  • HTTPS Tracker: No
  • HTTPS Site: Yes (a self-signed certificate)

SeedMore uses a highly-customized tracker codebase. Below are just some of their unique features:

  • Advanced Bonus System: Bonus is calculated as Clams (aka.. Clam$), which can be achieved by seeding (1.0 Clam per seeding hour per torrent), as well as for idling in their IRC channels. Clam$ can be used to purchase ‘VIP’ and other bribery in the clam$ bonus page, as well as to gamble in the games section (called Atlantic City).
  • Atlantic City (Gaming Room): SeedMore has regular arcade games, but also contains some unique gambling games that don’t exist on other trackers, such as various casino games (dice, slots, poker, etc) - and seed bonus (Clam$) can be wagered throughout many of these games. TIP: A working knowledge of poker can earn members quick Clam$ if you know how to gamble!
  • "Ask A Favor": If a member wants a torrent that can’t be found onsite, all someone has to do is "Ask a Favor" (make a request) for it. This also goes for reseed requests, which can also be requested through IRC as well as directly through the site.
  • Seeding/Ratio: All torrents are required to be seeded to a 0.75 ratio or 120 hours (non-contiguous), as well as maintaining a global ratio of 1.0.

SeedMore Commentary:

With friendly staff and a tight group of members, SeedMore is as much about community as they are about the torrents. The theme is a ‘mafioso’ one - everything is related to the mob.

Content: Just about all mainstream scene releases can be found on the tracker, with competitive pretimes on the torrents. Can’t find it? Then request it through "Ask A Favor". SeedMore has a team of uploaders that can seek the torrent and bring it to the tracker. Staff will respond to this favor and make the need known.

Speed: Most everything ‘new’ is hosted through multiple site seedboxes to ensure fast DL speeds. Seedbox-hosted torrents are specially marked with an easy-to-identify symbol.

Packs: Offers a variety of special packs, including daily 0Day (apps) packs, as well as ‘portable’ packs. All ‘packs’ are always freeleech.
