One of the best private trackers out there. Sorry to see it go… You can read the reasons why in the link (in Romanian and English).

UPDATE: it’s no longer shutting down:

We were overwhelmed by your wishes and messages!

You know that over the years, I’ve always said that the community has a significant voice. Your words have always mattered, and we’ve never been indifferent to them. Your voice has been heard, even now.

I am delighted to announce that the website will not be shutting down! Donations are now reactivated, so everything is returning back to normal.

One of the founders of the website, God, is back and will take over the technical aspect to ensure the site continues to thrive. He is trustworthy, loyal, and things will certainly go well from this point of view. However, we also needed someone to take care of the other aspects of the work. From now on, Oana will handle everything related to the staff, server payments, and all the internal matters that a SysOp does. She will get promoted to the SysOp class. She is more than capable and competent to maintain control and ensure that everything runs smooth internally. Congratulations!

Together, they will continue the necessary work to keep this website alive.

That being said, this announcement will be my last. I, EboLLa, am permanently retiring from the community. I want to personally thank you all for all the private messages and wishes you’ve sent me. There have been so many, and I genuinely appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. You are all wonderful, and I appreciate each and every one of you! I am and have been honored that I could contribute to your well-being! To all of you. Farewell and take care! :love:

So let’s wish Oana and God best of luck!

With love and appreciation, EboLLa

    I think some people giving free invites now like I did. I gave my last 3 invites to people that have no experience in private trackers so they can at least enjoy it before shutting down.

      Sad that you don’t have any left. I just wanted in to compare it with other private trackers I’m in.

        in simple terms, a private torrent site (that is closed to public). only users with an account can log in and use the torrents in the website.

        each torrent that the users use has a unique passkey (consider it as an id) so that the site will know what torrents you have downloaded and how much you have seeded it back. they use these stats to monitor users, checking whether they seed for a certain amount of time and whether the users have the required ratio. why do they do this? to make sure that all torrents in their site is available to everyone (meaning there will be no torrents that has 0 seeders, rendering the torrent not being able to use anymore since no one seeds it).

        there are guides out there, check out !trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com , maybe they might have a guide.
