Thread: free invites via IRC channel - Private Trackers

Hope all the direct links to IRC sites prove useful, feedback and comments welcome. This list is not entirely my own article but I have modified it to remove redundant elements.


IRC invites are probably one of the easiest and safest (but also one of the most underused) ways to get into a private site – you don’t need to worry about trading or the presence of known cheaters/scammers in the invite tree as the invitation comes directly from tracker staff/administration.


Note that you might have to go through an interview or may be asked to provide speedtests, ratio proofs, etc during the IRC invite process. What you should do varies according to the tracker you are dealing with – we have provided tracker specific instructions where possible.


Some common guidelines would be not to PM (private message) channel ops without permission and avoid spamming the channel.
Also, If you are an IRC noob, we suggest you read this article about mIRC and how to easily connect to an IRC channel using the software.
