New HD/HQ site that opened back in july and is still around. The site has recently had a ton of new users and is going through a holiday free leech. You should sign up while its open for the holidays.

Torrents are so 1990s. Rapidshare and usenet is where it’s at. No having to deal with asshole sysops and ratios, etc.

I would love to see a world where private sites don’t exist. Sadly that just cant happen. bittorrent sites where made so that people could share their files with the world freely. For always free high quality downloads… i use torrentphile.blogspot.com its an upcoming site devouted to sharing the wealth. Communism? i think not

[...] Of course, Delusion can’t really be blamed. I’ve read more than a few torrent guides at various private trackers, and they all give ridiculous settings. After all, it’s not like you need to know what you’re talking about, in order to run one, and that’s another reason why so many fail. [...]

I would pay good money for a site that specialized in old software — a place where I could go looking for Windows 2000 or WordPerfect for DOS and be sure to find someone seeding it. Sort of the opposite of the race you describe. In addition to being cheap to run, by only offering things that are no longer available from the publisher, such a site and its users would be very unlikely to end up as a target of the anti-piracy goons.

Well, the deed is done; I’m now a member of a Bittorrent site whose name you feed to sick people with a spoon from a bowl.

So far, so… meh. Sure, speed is nice (I’m test dowloading a new release, 1MB/s is less than I expected, currently seeding at 5kB!) , but the content I usually look for (Anime) is almost nonexistant. Is it just this site, or are privates in general zealously overhyped?

Only… time… will… tell…

@93…

Well, NOW we’re getting somewhere. Regs are closed, but I’ll keep checking for invites & reg-keys every now and then, see what turns up. Thanks for the help.

Who knows, maybe my opinion of privates has only been ruined by the crappy ones I’ve seen so far. After all, I only joined them because they’re in my own country and considering the shitty state of everything ELSE here… you get the point.

By the way @91, who’s more n00bish – the n00b or the n00b who tries trolling him with misspelled l33t sp34k?

What your completely nub mind has failed to realise is that Demonoid is somewhat unique in that it is operates as a smallish tracker that indexes torrents of major public sites and that is where most heavily seeded torrents originate from.

Demonoid operates its own tracker but it indexes other public sites so its no better than any other indexer such as Mininova when it was operating. Hence of course public trackers such as TPB are up first, torrents can’t be indexed unless they exist.

If you want a few recommendations from me as to private trackers that are beginner home user friendly (ie no seedbox with good site policies to assist home users seed and offer chances of redemption until you get teh hang of things) I’d suggest Funfile, PreToMe & TorrentLeech but there are certainly others…
