Get Into 200+ Private BitTorrent Sites

Written by Ernesto on February 02, 2009 

Getting an account at a good private BitTorrent tracker can be quite a challenge. Some people make a habit out of it, checking dozens of torrent sites every day. Others prefer more automated ways, such as using trackerchecker.org, a website that monitors over 500 private BitTorrent trackers.

Unlike public BitTorrent sites, private trackers are only available to registered members. Depending on a site’s popularity and growth strategy, the work involved in becoming a member can range from ‘easy’, right up to ‘almost impossible’. In the past we’ve mentioned tools and sites that can help users to find private trackers that are open to new members, but none of them covers as many sites as trackerchecker.org does.

Trackerchecker is pretty straightforward. It is basically a huge list of private trackers which are ranked based on their signup status. The sites that have a green dot are open to the public, the red dot indicates that new members are not accepted at the moment. Towards the bottom of the site it lists private trackers that return a 404 error or a server timeout, indicated by a red cross and a blue dot respectively.

What’s most impressive about the site is that it lists and checks over 500 private trackers. Thus far we haven’t seen any similar tools that check this many sites, and there is probably a private tracker for every niche – from Slosoul.net through Pornbay.org to Traillertorrent.com – the list goes on and on. To keep the list growing, Trackerchecker allows users to register (no invite needed) so they can add missing trackers to the list.

Overall we can conclude that the site works well and it’s certainly a great resource. The only downside is that you still have to visit the Trackerchecker site to see which trackers are open. An email alert option might be a welcome addition. The “Tracker Checker” application is a good alternative for those people who prefer to have some software installed to check the signup status of private trackers.

Nice. :)

it shows waffles.fm has a green dot but it should certainly have a red dot

You're right there, I guess it's not 100% accurate all the time then. Unless waffles opened up for 1 minute…

4 Feb 02, 2009 at 23:21 by zarathustra

Waffles is open but via invite only so, technically, it should be green. But….. there needs to be another flag added – for the 'invite-only' status. Green with a cross. =]

It looks like it only checks if the registration form is available not if you can submit a registration form, so there are bound to be a lot of false positives using that site.

6 Feb 02, 2009 at 23:44 by TorrentFreak

I think they also check for certain keywords, but obviously the checking messes up avery now and then, Waffles was closed (according to the site) a few hours ago.

Good article, and i want to add some tips that might be useful:

1) http://filenetworks.blogspot.com/will inform you if there is a private tracker opens registration, put it in your RSS reader and you will be the first one to know.

2) Also there are bunch of forums specializing in invites (offering, requesting and trading) you will have to provide some info such as screenshot of your speed test along with other things.

3) Find the IRC channels (in case it's public) of your favorite trackers and just idle and make friends then chat about anything and you may get lucky and find someone who shares you the same country/age/interests etc, and he will invite you right away.

I’ve started OpenTrackers early in November…
You can easily monitor opening status of popular private torrents via RSS (and soo, via email)
Fun to see that trackerchecker ripps my icons :)

It’s about time they fixed the trackerchecker site.

i did all that and it did not help my speeds at all!!!

What happened to the comments? Why are they old again?

Why don’t you try http://www.opentrackers.net ? You can follow status changes via RSS and soon via email. Check this out !

Useful but christ does it need a redesign though!

meh things like this will rarely get you into good trackers.
you need to join an invite forum like trackereactor or the ones listed above then you’ll get everything you need very quickly.
I got what.cd, revtt, torrentleech, tti, musicvids, karagarga, goem and the list goes on after a couple weeks on trackereactor. unfortunatly I think they’ve gone all snobby and only allow new members to be invited. the irony…… :P

Recently I received an invite to Waffles by a member but when I clicked the link to join it would not take me. So it must be closed for new members.

good article…the recommended trackerchecker site is good too.
But whenever I see this kinda article i get a little panicky.Why? …coz private trackers are meant to be private.You need to either find out on ur own and manage an invite or try discover another one.
This kind of listings is exactly what the MAFIAA and other anti p2p guys need to expedite mass crackdowns.
I have seen ‘diggs’ before regarding similar articles and novices publicly declaring lists of ‘hidden private trackers’ just to get more diggs.
For no fault of the members, undue attention is usually meted out to these trackers and communities…and the next thing u know is that they have been sued and closed down !
Just sharing my experience and immediate reactions looking at this article.

SceneTorrents . org is one of the best site for piracy criminals.

They get their stuff first. But the admins are profit from the donations.

22 Feb 03, 2009 at 22:56 by Actually i said htis a year ago

and if i catch you using these tools ill ban your ass and ip

ill add that do it like everyone else has or YOU will GET labeled anti p2p

bad article TF.
your not helping anyone buy this kinda crap. There are a reason the word PRIVATE is said.

being public about this means these listed sites are no longer private or NEED TO make it even harder to get in and invalidate the ability of these apps to work.

23 Feb 03, 2009 at 23:14 by James

Surely, listing all of the private trackers in such a public place is just an invitation for the relevant authorities to take a look and shut down / charge admins ??

24 Feb 03, 2009 at 23:57 by mondo

many of these are wrong. i looked at both opentracker and trackerchecker against a few private sites i’m on, and they all showed green.

25 Feb 04, 2009 at 00:25 by Somone

TheTorrentSource.org also says its open but its invite only too.

Hey, where’s the other comment style? This is back to the original one.

27 Feb 04, 2009 at 16:48 by ME

Come on getting invites is easy peasy. You ethier have to be a total newbie or cheater/trader or some other scum. Open sign up sites generally suck hence why they are having an open sign up.

28 Feb 04, 2009 at 16:56 by ME

Heres some invite codes to stmusic.org for those in need

Anyone who thinks the RIAA/MPAA haven’t infiltrated every major private site is simply naive. They may be evil and stupid, but they have the money to hire people like Mediasentry who are smart enough to figure out how to get invites.

Getting better speeds and content are a good reason to join these sites, but don’t count on them to protect you from getting sued.

Enjoy getting your accounts disabled on any worthwhile tracker. You people disgust me.

OMG! THanks, because of this post I just got into demonoid! Ive been trying for months :)!!

If youre looking for invites to private trackers I would certainly go to NeonScene.net, as long as you are not a trader of invites and can provide the inviter screen shots of good ratio you will find what you are looking for. A community rep from TL is there now recruiting members :)
plus a couple other site recruiters have set up shop. NeonScene is legit and private trackers seem to be taking notice.
