Thread: HDAhoy (HDA) Review

Tracker Name: HDAhoy

Tracker URL: HDAhoy.net

Tracker Type: HD

Tracker Birthday: Summer 2009


This tracker specializes in HD content. The HD content is in the following categories: Movies, TV Shows, Documentaries, Music videos, XXX, Other, Sports and 3D. Out of the categories the most active are (in order): movies, tv shows, xxx, documentary, music video, other, 3d then sports. The focus is on movies they have the major new movies and a good collection of older movies. The TV shows are not nearly as heavily focused upon as movies. There are sporadic season packs and some shows are uploaded the day-of airing, but I wouldn't rely on it as a TV show tracker. Most of the uploaders (initial seeders and reseeders) use seedboxes. So, even if the swarm is small, you can still get 1-10 MB/s down, easily (purposefully broad, 2-3 simultaneous torrents almost always maxes out a 100 mbit seedbox).

Freeleech:

Freeleech torrents aren't the norm. However, they are plentiful. There are approximately 50 permanent freeleech torrents per month (estimated from the last two months). There are also many torrents with upload x2, x1.5, x1.2.

Speed: 7.5/10. Most of the time the speed is good. However, when a new release of a certain movie/tv show (e.g. a different quality, source, etc), the seeders of the older releases may or may not be quickly seeded. And, the swarms aren't overly large, so if you have a fast connection you may or may not max out.

Content: 9/10. Some things you'd expect they should have they don't. However, there are movies that I haven't seen on other trackers that they do have.

Community: 8/10. Incomplete rating (unknown IRC activity). The main admin is very active within the community. The comments on torrents are also quite active when necessary. However, the forums aren't as active as they could be. And, I have no firsthand knowledge of their IRC.

Overall: 9/10. The site is very reliable. The releases are cleaned up when a better version is available (e.g. R5 to BluRay). It is extremely easy to navigate. The biggest things lacking, imho, are the speeds and swarm sizes. I haven't been a member long enough to talk about trends. But, overall, it seems like it's trending in a good direction.

Yeah, the IRC it absolutely dead.

Good review! Love this site, my favorite tracker!

I have been a member here for a while new, and it is overall a good site. Often it is slow with new release movies, but the depth and breadth of the collection make being a member worthwhile.

Just joined this site. Looks great, I like the layout. New content that has been posted on other sites already today, has not yet arrived on HDahoy though. Could be good if anyone wants to be a poster of new content.

Overall, I like the site 8/10

Very nice review. Thumbs up for your efforts.

I have been unable to connect to HDAhoy for 8 hours ...
Anybody else has similar issues?
In the wake of what happened to Demonoid, I hope it's just a temporary glitch

thank you for the review seems good
