Thread: The Top 50 Most Requested Tracker Invites of 2010 (Part One + Part Two)

Due to popular request, it’s that time of the year again when FSF takes a peek into the year’s most requested private tracker invitations. We uncovered some surprising statistics - FTN is no longer on top, plus we have 15 new entries to this 2010 edition (3 in Part One; 12 in Part Two).

FSF made a best effort here to provide data as accurate as humanly possible, with no bias towards one forum or another. We simply counted requests (and filled ones) as best as we could do.

From the first 25, there are only 3 trackers that were not listed at least somewhere within the top 50. From the these last 25, almost half are brand-new entries for 2010. Since we publish this "Top 50" series quite late in the year, it gives newer trackers a fair chance to be listed. That is, if they aren’t open for registration most of the time. Having said that, here are a few interesting statistics from the entire 50:

• Only two trackers (out of 15 new sites in the Top 50) are new startups from 2010 - SceneXpress - which had open registration twice in 2010. The only other new tracker is LosslessWorld, which has not offered open registration.

• 15 trackers from the 2009 list didn’t make the cut for 2010. Some may have deserved to be on it; others simply don’t exist anymore. From these 15, five are not longer online.

• The majority of new trackers will offer at least one method of public registration; be it open signups, IRC recruitment or invite application - thus obviously they don’t receive many/any requests.

• From the 2010 Top 50…
  • 9 are music trackers, if you count Music-Vids.
  • 9 are HD trackers, if you count BitHQ.
  • 6 are TV trackers, if you count CartoonChaos & ScienceHD.
  • 5 are Movie trackers; counting Rmvbusters, Karagarga & x264.me.
  • At least 7 are region-specific (nCore, BitHUmen, CHDBits, HDChina, HDCorea, Rmvbusters, and PolishTracker).

• Part One here
• Part Two here

There are some trackers which shouldn't be there and some that should have been , but anyway a nice way to review tracker list and find if something is missing .

Good article. I'm a bit surprised that TL is at the top of the list though.

Ooo,thanks!Good article.

I'm gladly surprised by some trackers like TvT.com are getting more attention, the site is really great.
sharky forgot that invites to SeX can be bought with karma points.
