D/L'ing movie torrents

[Levas]

I've got account in there, it's just that Registered users    21,000/21,000 and it's like that for long time. you can send invites, but the person who gets it can do nothing with it until some clearance or something like that.

[WATERPOWER]

This may be true, but I know they're constantly deleting inactive accounts, unactivated invites, etc., and I've never had a sent invite see any sort of wait time. I'm sure they prioritize invites in some sort of way..

[Levas]

well, then I think you must be right.

OK! d/l'd the VLC & it plays KIDNAPPED with engl. subtitles. I had deleted the movie from utorrent then found it in a file in my downloads; Windows played it with sound but no subs. I opened it in the VLC & it played it with the subs so will check it out later. Thanks for those tips!

Happy to help.

cinemageddon has the most amazing stuff cos it comes from peoples vhs-rips and private collections, mostly unreleased on dvd etc.

and i got banned cos my ratios always were ridiculously low. i simply couldnt fix it. no stream going out from mine, but tons comin in, eventually the boot came of course. all other trackers worked normally. and still do. this was highly annoying and every now and then i try to re-register from anywhere but yeah theres always the full capacity. damn.

cinemageddon, i will always miss you!! 

any other specialist sites out there?? not demonoid, piratebay etc, but obviously aficionado stuff...

i once got an invite to a private finnish tracker which reflected the cerebral acticity of highest idiotica. logged in once +never used it again. a few times checked some other similar sites and just felt embarassed for the human race. is this what they want to share? computer games, softcore americana porn, basic mainstream movies... what a nightmare. give em the tools and they end up playin with the wrappers.

I also recommend Cinemageddon. Last year, I tried for approximately 3 weeks to get in and finally got to register. They supposedly cull accounts every 30 minutes to free up spots. Funny though, I told someone else about the site and they registered on their first try.

Most of these movie sites/private trackers expect you to maintain a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio in order to keep an account with them, which isn't too hard. Cinemageddon has 3 featured torrents that give you bonuses, so just download them and seed them to get a good ratio. I've downloaded several things that I didn't care about watching, just to build up the ratio. Then, you can go get the stuff you want.

for whatever reason this tracker was the only one i couldnt get through to, i tried all the tricks in their faq but no results. this was so fuckin frustrating aaargh. if it was up to me i'd seed everything till mi nuts go black

"Cinemageddon has 3 featured torrents ..."

Thanks for the tip. I had never noticed the featured d/l's can be used for credits. d/l'ing one of'em now!

I rarely find much I'm interested in but good to have. Not interested in video rips; I figure they look like crap.

I thought that was part of the appeal?

There's also karagarga which is amazing. I've been there since '07. Got one invite left, pm email if you want it.  I've uploaded a bunch of industrial and jap noise stuff over the years.

I've got invites to a few private trackers, including ones for movies/TV/music/ebooks, I won't post them publicly as it's against their site rules, but if you PM me with what you're looking I can hook you up.

My route for movies:

Pass The Popcorn - what I'm looking for is there most of the time, including independent/rare stuff
Teh Connection - more of an emphasis on quality (though PTP is getting better with their quality control) but certainly lacking in the non-mainstream area
Karagarga - if all else fails or if it's a super rare film, it'll be here. I save this for last as it's harder to keep a good ratio.

in the end once I exhaust all those I simply assume it's not on the internet. private trackers or bust.
