Hey guys I’m after a certain bit of software have tried all the usual places ipt tl etc does anyone know any good trackers just for software?

Regards

It depends on what type of software you are looking for? If you have tried IPT,TL,FL,AR,TD,SA and haven't found what you are looking for then you can always try private DDL forums or make use of the request function on most general trackers

I came to this subforum to ask this question but found your thread instead so thought I'd just add my piece here.

I don't know why I find it surprising that there seem to be no trackers dedicated purely to Windows software. We have some for Android, and for Mac, but not Windows, as far as I can tell. Has there ever been such a thing? Do they exist?

I have downloaded quite a few things from the trackers @Deku suggested and can confirm I've had multiple viruses (not false positives), although to be fair, I've found plenty of great clean stuff there. It's just part of the game, I suppose, since the incentive is so high, and since malware is constantly evolving. I just feel like if there was a tracker really focusing on software, there might be stronger incentives in place to ensure the safety of content. Am I crazy, or what? I've wanted something like that for years and years. Honestly the amount of time it takes to find a working piece of software and get it going properly and dealing with potential security threats and system instability, it almost just makes more sense time and stress-wise (and for reliability) to throw money at the developers instead and be done with it, in many cases.
