New additions: iFR, eLK, fux0r and Sinderella

First, uk-2 is in a very sad state. No users, no leeching, no seeding. One big problem (as the admins and sysops can't seem to understand) is that the design is flawed. And maybe you say: "That shouldn't matter, we're here to download stuff". We say: That might be true, but if you easily can find exactly the same general content at every other place why would you want to login to uk-2 where you risk temporary blindness every time. And only the name uk-t is sadly not enough to make a great tracker. We've seen the resurrections go down that way all to many times in the bittorrent world. We still hope for for the best but uk-two slides down from lvl 5 to lvl 4.

BTN has had some drama lately, Azza (founder of BTN) has been kicked out and he has probably stolen some donations too. No one really knows. Nonetheless BTN goes up from lvl 4 to lvl 5. Followed by DB9 (deepbase9) also from lvl 4 to lvl 5.

Most big porn trackers has usually been semi private trackers with huge user counts. That has probably also been their fall. After Cheggit left us late 2011 all addicts (many of them earlier refugees from Empornium and Pure TnA) scrambled to find new havens. Members spread to Deviloid, BMTorrents, Malacka and Empornium II. But there are also two porn trackers that had begun as private trackers and stayed that way and after the porn apocalypse has been getting more and more requests. One of them is Korean tracker Sinderella and the other one is fux0r. They both make their entry at lvl 3.

Bibliotik, is a tracker for e-books and audio books and is literally a tracker that is more than meet the eye. Bibliotik retired for some months and then came back. Invites are not that easy to get a hold on and the tracker joins trackerlevels as high up as lvl 5.

There has been much talk about two new music trackers. One of them is another lossless tracker called iFR. They have a small user base and some recruitment going on in tracker power user forums and alike. The other music tracker is eLK (Electrobits) but which although it's name is a general music tracker.

They started out hard fetched but has gone more and more generous when it comes to invites and the tracker has had open signups every now and then. Strangely enough eLK has been traded and offered vastly since they started out. iFR joins trackerlevels at lvl 4 and eLK joins us at lvl 2.

Up, up!

Combined FLAC and movie tracker Skittles moves up one level to join the likes of HDBits and iTS. Lately it has been very quiet when it comes to info about Skittles. No one knows how many torrents or members there are. And no one knows how to join. Skittles is a bit of a mystery in the torrent world so to speak. But if given the opportunity people would not hesitate to join. No invites or accounts are given away freely. No recruitment threads are to be seen. This means level 8.

Specialized FLAC tracker Pedro's BTMusic is one of the best in the game. The possibility to buy your way in to the tracker doesn't exist anymore and invites are only handed out to uploaders and VIP:s. If you upload music and especially FLAC:s on other music trackers chances are that you'll have an easy time getting invited but if you're a regular leecher and seeder chances are slim.
It's relatively easy to get a hold of an account by the means of trading if you're into that though. Still the demand for BTMusic is growing and there's no change in invite policy to be seen. Level 7 for Pedro's.

LW checking in

Poll is closed. Lossless World makes its tracker level entry. Good thing is that it seems you can't buy yourself in anymore. Bad thing is that staff and respected uploaders have been leaving the place during the last week because of disagreements. Are we watching the rerun of "need-music"? Are new lossless trackers cursed? Don't know. Future will tell.
For now, welcome to level 4.

A lossless world

We recently had lossless music tracker N-M (Need music) open up and closing down with that looney owner (whatever his name was). Then they changed name to eargasm and for several weeks without any activity the new management decided to make eargasm a music forum (sic!) without any torrents. A week later the whole project was abandoned and eargasm gone. This project was almost as miserable as StN with the great Yocto navigating the treacherous tracker seas.
But now there are new clouds on the horizon. Lossless World is opening up an exclusive tracker with lossless music for the masses.
You can get invited via Pedro's and Waffles and some other places but there are not that many invites going around. So why not put this wanting-to-be-leet-tracker high up the rankings? That's because you can by your way in at https://losslessworld.info/signup.php. And even though it seems there are only two trackers (e's and p's) dealing exclusively in lossless music there are actually a lot more places with vast amounts of lossless music e.g. what, waffles and numerous DDL-forums.
