Top 10 Hottest Private Torrent Trackers of 2010

**bojan309** · 08-31-2010

After searching through multiple shady Torrent Invite Forums, with a desire to find the hottest torrent private trackers on the net, we have put together a list of the most sought after trackers of the year. The criteria for this list was based on how many wanted posts for a particular tracker there were and how much money sellers were asking.
The torrent tracker landscape is constantly evolving and growing. We entered this year with the loss of ScT, one of the most sought after and greatest trackers ever to exist. Who decided to shut down, due most likely to legal pressure it was experiencing. In the coming year who will fall and who will rise depends on the strength of their communities, their generosity and of course the legal environment. Each of these trackers below fulfill their niche and do it well. Whether your looking for the fastest pre-times, 0day releases, HD movies, Music, Games, TV shows, E-learning files etc they are well covered by this list. Out of respect for the trackers below we will not link to any of them in this post.
#1 – HDBits
HDBits.org is one of the best BitTorrent trackers, that primarily focuses on high definition content. Without question the hardest tracker invite to get on the net. People will pimp their sisters, cute cousins, trade all the invites and accounts they may have to get into this tracker. Invites are handed out by staff to special members who either sell them or give them away to trusted sources. Last December, they planned a 24 hour open invite sign-up, but that was quickly cancelled thanks to so many invite sellers trying to make a quick buck. We recently found an auction for one invite that closed at over 240 Euros. Some insiders recommend joining its sister site sdbits.org, in hopes of building strong enough stats to be granted a membership at HDBits.
#2 – FTN

FTN is another highly coveted and prized tracker. They specialize in 0day releases, have excellent pre-times, a no-ratio system and have large movie packs which makes them a great all around tracker. Membership in this community is capped at 6k members and invites are handed out by staff to their respected members. One of my good friends still teases me for not having an account here but I refuse to buy one. So if any FTN member/staff happens to read this article and feels insanely generous, i need an invite please lol. Now you can add me to the list of thousands begging for an FTN invite. Also beware of scammers pretending to have cheap invites. Invite prices range from 50 to 150 Euros, and are typically traded for multiple other tracker accounts or an HDbits account. Good luck with that scene.
#3 – TT

The hands down, second to none, best private music tracker on the net. Specializing in all genres of trance music including house, hardcore, funk, ambient, electric, electronic dance, and everything else i’m not hip enough to list techno wise. It’s devoted 8k members form a tight knit community and their loyal uploaders share allot of music exclusive to their tracker. Invites or accounts are hard to come by and can be found online for around 30 to 40 Euros.
#4 – BCG

The leading and best games tracker on this planet. BlackCats-Games has loads of seeders, massive amounts of content, a great Seed Points system. It also features a recycled system, where old torrents are moved onto the front page, allowing them to live on for much longer than most other trackers retention spans. You don’t need a fast connection to maintain a good ratio here due to so much activity amongst its 30k or so members. All these features make this a wonderful tracker. Invites can typically be aquired for other good tracker trades or 15 to 25 Euros.
#5 – CN
CN is a small secretive tracker focused primarily on movies and file sharing. They pride themselves on being different and they ask every member to be active, contribute and be passionate about movies in general. How intense are they? Well their recent IRC invite questioner alone asks for 4 torrent tracker screenshot profiles. It’s clear they want people who download as much as they seed. If your a ratio whore and/or a tracker collector you most likely will get turned down by them or lose your account eventually. Invites are rarely found and can be had for around 20+ Euros.
#6 – BITME

Bitme.org is the best e-learning torrent site. It consists of around 20k members and it’s content is based on categories like 3D, AppDev, Art, Audio, CBT, Dating, DIY, Math, Music Learning, Religion, Sports etc. One could spend hours downloading materials and how to’s but at the same time it’s a little difficult maintaining a good upload ratio when downloading primarily older content. The membership appears to be capped and invites only given to whom it deems as qualified members every 30 days. A great ratio and/or high upload stats will not guarantee an invite. You will usually find them for sale for around 13 to 20 Euros.
#7 – SCC

SCC is one of the fastest scene only 0day release sites. It has stellar pre-times and loads (over 30k) of free leech torrents mostly comprised of MP3/0Day & Archive releases. It’s members are civilized and armed with fast seedboxes resulting in excellent download speeds. Good luck attaining a high upload ratio here with a slow connection. I cringe thinking about it. SCC members can donate, essentially buying upload credits and invites starting at 10 Euros per invite. So invites aren’t too difficult to find and will cost you anywhere from 10 to 20 Euros.
#8 – BitmeTV

BitMeTV is focused purely on TV shows from around the globe. It is the undisputed leading TV torrent tracker with over 18k torrents and over 20k members, with a 25k member limit. In general download speeds are fast and one can get in and out of a torrent with a 1.0 upload/download ratio fairly quickly. It has excellent pre-times and a nice community with relaxed seeding rules. As for invites they are automatically handed out in 30 day increments depending on the ratio of the user. So at certain times of the month you will find users with multiple invites who are eager to sell or trade them away. I have seen invites raise in price over the past two months and are now selling for about 10 to 15 Euros per invite.
#9 – TL
Torrentleech has around 180k members and 25k indexed torrents. It has excellent pre-times on 0day torrents and especially non scene releases. Types of torrents include movies, music, software/games, E-books, TV shows, and cartoons but no adult content. If I were stuck on a remote island with broadband, already had some women to cater to my daily needs, and I could only take one tracker with me it would be TL. Armed with a decent seedbox I can get in and out of a torrent and fully seed it in a matter of minutes. But a seedbox or a fast connection isn’t a requirement here. Invites are given to VIP’s from time to time, on IRC and can be found online for around 7 to 10 Euros.
#10 – GFT

GFT is a very good tracker with fast release times. It caters to its members for only uploads are counted (no ratio system) and their is a nice torrent request system. It indexes around 21k torrents including music, movies, software/games, E-books, TV shows, cartoons/animation and adult content. The download/upload speeds are fast but as of late the site has had server issues. Invites can be purchased by members for 5 Euros a piece and found online for usually 10 Euros.
