What are some of the most notable private trackers in 2025? (Complete list)

Movies & TV

PassThePopcorn (PTP)
General movie tracker, the best of its kind by far. Other movie trackers can fill specific niches but 95% of everyone's needs can be filled with PTP. But keep in mind they have the worst staff ever. Keep a low profile here.

BroadcasTheNet (BTN)
General TV tracker, the best of its kind by far. Other TV trackers can fill specific niches but 95% of everyone's needs can be filled with BTN. Ratioless.

AnimeBytes (AB)
Anime, manga, live action, soundtracks and general weeb shit. The best of its kind by a wide margin. Other cabal trackers were not happy about the loli/shota content hosted there.

KaraGarga (KG)
A tracker for obscure, rare, arthouse, foreign and classic films. Mainstream not allowed. Also has a community of bilingual speakers who write subtitles for untranslated movies. Worth having even if you've PTP.

TV-Vault (TVV)
TV-only content that finished airing at least 5 years ago. Has lots of rare content not found elsewhere. Will fill much of your niche content needs if you don't have BTN and sometimes even if you do. No recruiting, user invites only. Users get lots of invites to give out and they often do so on a variety of trackers so keep your eyes peeled. Currently beyond usercap though so don't expect any for some months, Elite userclass can still invite though. Has some dated rules which are irritating.

Cinemageddon (CG)
Movies with no IMDB page, <1000 reviews, or a score <3/10. Lots of "erotic" cinema that Travis Bickle would watch in some seedy '70s wanking kinoplex. Sister site of TVV and the invite process is the same. Below usercap, but invites are given out much less frequently than TVV.

MoreThanTV (MTV)
Ratioless tracker for movies and TV, though the focus is on the latter. The closest competitor to BTN however distantly. Has been down for some months and is being rebuilt by the EMP sysop, expected to go live in early 2021. A good alternative to BTN if you haven't got it as it used to mirror the new content, while lacking the larger back catalogue.

Anthelion (ANT)
General movies, run by Alastor who has a storied history of public meltdowns. Seems to have chilled out in recent years. Gained relevance in summer 2023 during PTP's extended downtime, as thousands of users flocked to it as a replacement. Once PTP returned, many users fucked off; nevertheless, keep it in your back pocket in case PTP shits the bed again.

Nebulance (NBL)
Sister site of ANT, also run by Alastor, Ratioless. Not terrible for new users, but still pretty shit.

Secret Cinema (SC)
Ratioless tracker for obscure, weird or arthouse movies and TV. Easy to join with a very active requests section. Users often fill from PTP/KG/TIK/CG etc. so it's an excellent source of that content for anyone without access to a more difficult-to-obtain tracker.

BakaBT (BBT)
Old anime/manga tracker. Content is curated by staff so uploads come slowly. Has IRC signups. Good for old content to supplement nyaa.

Cinematik (TiK)
Untouched releases of obscure and rare content. Full Discs and so on. Very difficult to join as a user must vouch for you and then request an invite in the forums. Unnecessary for most users.


HD trackers

HDBits (HDB)
General HD tracker with movies/TV and porn. The best and biggest of its kind by far. The biggest HD archive as well as the largest population of knowledgeable encoders. Encoders on other good HD trackers will often also be internal and release on HDB.

BeyondHD (BHD)
Notable for being fast to get remuxes, even before scene. Good for 4k content. Allows un-encoded SD content if no HD version is available. Will probably overtake HDB in the near future as the premier HD tracker, already has in terms of total number of seeders.

Blutopia (BLU)
Very good tracker, saar. All saars of Pakistan banned. Their notorious former sysop saar Sriram HDVinnie abandoned the site and stole all the fund in 2024. Has been shitting the bed ever since incompetent morons like MusicalMind & nelsokege took over. It's the quintessential pajeet tracker.

UHDbits (UHDB)
Originally a Vietnamese HD tracker. Mediocre archive. Internal encoders are good. Recently had HDB invites offered in the forums to users with >200 uploads and high userclass. This has caused a flurry of activity with users reaching these same requirements in the hopes of getting HDB invites again. Unlikely to happen given HDB's historically autistic approach to giving out invites and getting butthurt when people find out where they are being offered.

HD-Torrents (HDT)
Low-quality HD tracker, though easy to join for new users. Run for profit, requires users to download >15GB quarterly or get b&. Get it if you're a brand new user but don't sweat if you lose the account eventually.

HD-Space (HDS)
Somehow a shitter version of HDT. Same considerations apply.

Music

Redacted (RED)
Music tracker which has solidified its position as the WCD successor. Controversial seedbox economy and its use as an invite stepping stone into other trackers has divided community opinion. Regardless it still has over 2 million torrents. Can be joined via IRC interview. Has the best invite forum out there (yes better than PTP, BTN, HDB, GGn etc.).

Orpheus (OPS)
Formerly Xanax, Apollo (a-poo-in-loo). Music tracker with a much more user-friendly economy than RED. The archive is considerably smaller than RED's but it lacks a lot of the junk uploads people vomit onto the tracker for userclass.

JPopsuki (JPS)
Jpopsuki, Asian music tracker. Sysop is AWOL, staff is chill, content is really badly curated. Good to farm uploads (if they are very carefully checked) for RED.

LzTr (LzTr)
A soundtrack and classical music tracker. Small but useful.

DeepBassNine (DB9)
A tracker for DnB music. Because it's reputedly hard to join, many people will try to get in just for epeen even though they don't care about DnB, jungle or anything like that.

Pedro's XBTMusic (Pedro's)
A reputedly hard-to-join tracker dedicated to lossless music. Basically a subset of What with very rigid naming and tagging conventions, high-dpi booklet scans, harsher ratio and upload rules as well as an incredibly autistic staff and community. "[People say we are] anal retentive. It's true!" -Pedro. Was down for a long period but came back in late 2023. Owner is a proven grifter who swindled user donations during downtime to "improve" the site, though it's clear as day the site remains exactly the same as before.

Exigo (E****o)
Ultra sekrit tracker. As is typical with ultra sekrit trackers, it's worth joining for epeen alone.
