Thread: Torrents.ru (TRU) Review

Torrents.ru
The National bit torrent tracker

This is the largest Russian tracker and actually one of the largest trackers in the world.

Main page: http://torrents.ru/forum/index.php
SignUp: http://torrents.ru/forum/profile.php?mode=register
Type:
general, open \ public with rating control system

Quick stats (as of 22 May 2009):
Registered users: 3,471,973
Torrents: 622,466 active: 562,765 total size: 808.449 TB
Peers: 9,315,578 seeds: 8,670,782 leeches: 644,796
Total throughput: 30 GB/s

Rating system:
if your rating is
>= 1 and upload >= 100 Gb allows you to download 20 torrents simultaneously
>= 0.6 allows you to download 12 torrents simultaneously
< 0.6 allows you to download 1 torrent
< 0.3 allows you to continue downloading 1 torrent but you are not able to download any new torrent files. This rating will get you banned.

Bonus rating available:
If you seed your own upload – your upload amount doubles (you uploaded 50Mb, but 100Mb would be counted towards your rating)
if you are the only seeder on any torrent – your upload amount doubles

The site engine is forum based i.e. all discussions are taking place in the same post where the torrent file was posted (see screenshots).
The site is moderated with strict enough rules, so everything is pretty well organized and the quality of releases is almost always very good.

Pros:
Huge selection of everything: movies, music, games, apps, etc (no adult content though) including very rare and hard to find stuff. Decent speed. Very well organized / moderated.
Cons:
Any language other than Russian is prohibited, movies without Russian track are prohibited (with very minor exceptions), no freeleech whatsoever.

PS:
If you have a question (if it is not too long :001_tongue:) pertaining any specific release just post it here. I will ask it in Russian there and post the reply back here.

very unconfortable search system. To find something you need to know cyrillic.

I don't really understand how ratio system works on this tracker, it's confusing 'cause when I go to my profile page, I don't see any ratio. I already dl a bunch of lossless rips and my total still shows 0 B ! Can figure why... Thanks for any help ;)

By the way at Torrents.ru now freeleech till January 7so download is not considered

Absolutely love it! I source 98% of my staff from them. They have best selection of DVD Movies and TV shows I’ve ever seen.

Agree. Great in all aspects.They now have more than 4.2mln users.Must have ( if u r russian, of course :))

What has happened to the tracker server down or something or closed due to illegal activity whats going on it is the best tracker in my opinion.
Found

Don't forget they have a huuuge collection of surround music that you can't find anywhere else.

Very nice tracker

I think need to change url coz they have changed it to "rutracker.org"
