New high level tracker dLL and random level changes

As some of you might have seen there has been some tracker level changes during the past couple of weeks. Here is a fast run through:

FSC is the most sought after "community" tracker but the rush to get in isn't as high as it used to be. Recruiting members openly from FST might not have been the the best choice either. One level drop from 9 to 8.

AOM reestablishes itself by jumping up one level to lvl 9. So at this moment we only have specialized content trackers at the second highest level. Exigo for lossless music, AOM for magic torrents and HDBits for high definition film and TV.

LFM releases loads of early internals and has had a good start. But invites are plentiful and recruitment happens on most tracker power user forums. Down from lvl 7 to lvl 5.

GFT recently opened invites and even allowed for Romanians and Egyptians to get in or get back. We therefor anticipate that the ban hammer will sound a few times in the future and GFT falls from lvl 6 to lvl 5.

Sweden's leading tracker Sparvar has closed its doors indefinitely and we've seen a surge of people wanting to get in. It flies (pun intended) up from lvl 4 to lvl 6. Another Swedish tracker Ti (The Internationals) which started of pretty well hasn't even come close to live up to its predecessor and falls from lvl 5 to lvl 4.

We would very much like to welcome a new high level tracker that goes by the abbreviation of dLL. To get in you most likely will have to gain access to a forum that officially doesn't exist first and from there register to the tracker.
Someone just told us however that member applications for people outside has been temporarily enabled. So hurry up! But you will first have to find a member that can help you with the application.

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.

GFT, Pedro's, x264, nCore etc. tracker level changes.

The movie tracker x264 is advancing once more. This time to lvl 7.

The level 10 tracker that went down is up again under a different name.

Old tracker Filelist.org has had so many domain and owner problems the last years that it's not even funny. The domain is changed yet again and the tracker is now called postfile.org. The tracker hasn't had open signups for ages but the old stats is gone and the doors are therefor now open. Filelist changes name and is out from the list.

Ncore advances from lvl 2 to lvl 5. What.cd is up from lvl 4 to lvl 5. GFT is up from lvl 5 to lvl 6. HDBits is up from lvl 8 to lvl 9. Pedro's BTmusic is up from lvl 7 to lvl 8. CHDBits is up from lvl 5 to lvl 6.

ScienceHD is down from lvl 6 to lvl 5.

TTG (TorrenTGui) and HDChina joins Tracker levels at lvl 5. Klatbits (k**, k) and DB9 joins the list at lvl 4.

CN, Filelist/Filepost & GFT update

CN or better known as Cosa Nostra is no more. A sad day for the torrent world. Both loved and hated, CN was a very good tracker. Nice layout, enthusiastic staff and a well managed bonus and permanent seed system which made the retention of movies exceptionally good. And causing a lot of drama due to its wanted secrecy might have been unnecessary but oh so fun. R.I.P.

Due to personal, technical, and other unforeseen circumstances the site put on some cement shoes and is now swimming with the fishes. - Bumrocks

Filepost.org former known as Filelist.org is one of the oldest and best known old school 0-day trackers still in function. No one except for staff knows how many users there are. Invites have been closed for longer than time itself. Most members have accepted that Filepost is a sinking ship and a lot of members have already changed to other trackers for their daily needs. There have been numerous posts in the forum about opening sign ups or giving out invites during the last years but the calls have gone unanswered. Until now.

Invites script installed, once we do some testing, we plan to make some invites available to power users only.

 Also one old music site is going down but will be merged with the new revival of Filepost.

FileMP3's going to merge with us given their financial difficulties, there's even a Music category in the browse page here already.

GFT, the hard-to-get-into and notorious trader hunting 0-day tracker was very close to go down one level. You only needed to idle in the IRC for a couple of days to gain enough points which then could be used to buy invites. Now it seems all invites have been changed back to bonus points. It seems though that when donations reach 100% the possibility to buy invites will be back. The bonus point price for one invite is yet unknown. The tracker stays at its current level.

Hanging loose

Why are more and more invites from GFT hitting the street. The answer is that they are handed out almost freely at GFT. What you have to do is to reach the second user class, where the only obstacle seems to be that you'll have to wait for 8 weeks. But during that time you will download 250 files and seed them for at least four days (which is also needed to advance). GFT is a non ratio tracker so no worries. After this you have reached the user class able to get invites.

A while ago GFT changed the karma bonus points system so in order to gain points you now have to idle in their irc. At almost every given time there are at least 400 people in the irc. But it's still very quiet. Well, for every hour you idle you are rewarded with 5 points. And if you have reached the second user class you can exchange karma points for one invite. You just need to idle in irc for about a week. That's all and that's why more and more invites hit the street and that's why GFT's level rating is hanging loose.

By the way, GFT is one of the top tier 0-day trackers. GFT beats FTN in every possible way so with this great opportunity, if you get your hands on one of those GFT invites. Be sure to grab it. You won't be disappointed.
