Description & Goal
Our goal is not to become another 0DAY tracker.The goal is to provide the absolutely latest stuff and share it with the GFT community. We strive to achieve our user's happiness over pretimes and 1337 seedboxes.

This is a private tracker, and you have to register before you can get full access to the site. Before you do anything here at GFT 2011 we suggest you read the rules.! There are only a few rules to abide by, but we do enforce them!

Before you go any further you should read the GFT 2011 user agreement.

Note: I will be including a .zip file at the end of the review with all images/un-used images related to GFT that was used to create this review.

As you can see there's a huge difference between both forums, hence one being new and the other old if you look at the dates within the old forum you can see the date when activity has stopped and the "New Forum" took over, that being said there's activity in the "New Forum" the occasional "spam topics" get posts on a daily basis, and you get a couple daily posts in the "General Talk" forum every-now-and-then its active just not very.

Very nice donation system, as you can see they have "Special Offers" every-now-and-then looks like there's some kind of leverage that goes on.



Ratings & Personal Commentary

They've got a radio :) you can listen at (They are also looking for DJs)
<http://radio.thegft.org:8000/listen.pls>

The content is very good they don't have alot of Anime, PSP, and NDS games (As of 4/15/2011) which are categories I favor, the latest torrents I see for the PSP/NDS are Dissidia 012 Duodecim Final Fantasy for the PSP and Pokemon Black/White for the DS. The Anime section is just bad, the current torrents in the Anime section the only 2(-?) at the moment those anime themselves are both good shows.

The pretimes are great, the irc is very active, again someone will always be talking/trolling :)
GFT is an awesome tracker and the activity is there, but who am I to talk..? I've only been a member there since April 12, 2011, but I was a previously a member back in 2010 unfortunately my account got disabled but obviously I got another chance I went to the IRC and asked if its possible to register again and they said it was fine.

Since my revisit and introduction back from 2010 I think the forum suffered tremendously, but time will tell.

Stylesheets
There are currently two different stlylesheets as of 4/15/2011 the two that are there are previous stylesheets used in the past, its probably best to stick with the latest skin.

(click on images to enlarge)


The Karma/Bonus Points System is pretty empty and doesn't have a lot of options to choose from, I'm sure more will be added in the future.

Community: 3.9/5
(Forum activity is decent, IRC activity overflows with members; that are fun and easy to talk to.)



Content: 3.3 4.5/5
GFT has lots of content but don't rely on it to have exactly everything; its a general tracker afterall and isn't dedicated to just one or two genres.

Speeds: 4.6/5

Thanks for reading.

I should probably be the first to note, this place is full of seedboxes. In a good way. Because this is a ratioless site, and so the more seedboxes the better. It is pretty hard to get upload here, as the seedboxes snatch everything up within a minute, and also because there are maybe 5 peers max on a new torrent.

Cheers, nice review.

I've added bigger images and remove some of the thumbnails

One of my most fav. tracker.

nice review and one of my dream tracker. i hope i get in soon.

nice review. Very nice tracker indeed. I hope they will improve the "ghost town" image in future :)

Decent review. Why are your ratings overly complicated though? Decimal points with no explanation on why. 3.3/5 for content when the stats says there are over 100k torrents makes that rating seem false. Maybe you should state why you gave that rating for clarity.

The 3.3/5 for content is probably because even though there are over 100k torrents, those are mostly just scene releases that no one really downloads. Every day, there are tons of XXX and 0-day releases that people don't go out of their way to look for. Considering the OP tagged GFT as a General tracker, I think he was looking for more varied content. Older releases and all that.

Thanks, I've re-rated it and justified my answer, I've also made quite a mistake with the stats which have been fixed thanks to member sam8cb
