Sparvar

Sparvar
Sparvar.org is a Swedish torrent site, the closest one to replace SweDVDr, among the many new ones which have cropped up.



Has a fairly good user base. The ones called 'sparvar' are the power users.



Categories: The main focus is on DVDr's with custom Swedish subtitles. You will most likely find all DVD's that you may want, once the Swedish subtitles are available. I have even seen some good old DVD's, which may not be easily found at other sites. Also, many TV series can also be found, many of them Swedish. Like SweDVDr, there are two main broad categories : New and Archive.



The new ones are usually around 150 or 200 in number. They have good number of seeders on most torrents. Even a few seeders will be good enough, considering, most have fantastic broadband connections.



The Archive has some 4000+ torrents, most PAL DVD's, HD movies, and series.



Forums are also an active place. I manage to translate Swedish into English using Google translate. Recently, they have added an English subforum too.



Fagelfron 'seeds': Depending on your contribution in term of seeding times, upload times, etc, a user is awarded some points, which can then be deemed for upload, or invites etc. For invites, you need to have uploaded atleast 500 GB.



User Classes: The standard Power user status is achieved when 30 GB is uploaded, and ratio is above 1.05. A Power user can see snatch list, seed peer list (so important for us!). I am not a power user there yet, so cannot screen shot a peer list.



Overall, this is the perfect replacement for SweDVDr, good no of DVD's, variety, fabulous speeds one can get limited only by your connection, good forums. Presently, an invite, or an application is the only way to get in.
