Review

Brokenstones | BRKS | Mac Apple | 2009

This private tracker’s specialty is the Mac Apple World. Currently it has about 19200 users.

Invites are given out every 10 days and depend on the users stats:

1 invite: Downloaded 1-4 GB and ratio is greater than .90
1 invite: Downloaded 4-7 GB and ratio is greater than .95
2 invites: Downloaded 7-10 GB and ratio is greater than 1.00
2 invites: Downloaded greater than 10 GB and ratio is greater than 1.05

If an invite is not confirmed within 3 days it is automatically deleted.

The current invite limit is set at 19,400 so when limit has been reached invitations are disabled.

No porn or other nasty files!

That's all porn related material. Also, content that contains extreme violence is not allowed.

"A special reminder for material that involves the exploitation/abuse of children (childporn etc.) if we feel your material is containing child abusive material then we will report these files including your data to the Cybertipline for Missing and Exploited Children."

Each and every porn upload will lead to an irreversible ban on BrokenStones.

Ratio requirements (NEW !!!)



Everyone who has a Mac should be with BRKS. The ideal thing for designers, grafics Pros etc. Mac gamers will also have their fun here. Needless to say this is a great tracker and probably the best when it comes to Mac stuff.


Hope this was helpful and if yes use the "thanks" button.

Cheers,

if i may ask a question, i heard that the community is lacking in brokenstones is this true? is there no community or is it that the community itself seems estranged (if that makes any sense) i'm currently trying to get an invite here and im wondering if i will even enjoy it.

The forums are pretty dead and poorly organized. Same goes for IRC. If you want to actually make friends, this probably isn't the place to do it. But, the forums are really good for getting (and giving) tech support on mac issues and there are some REALLY bright cats on those threads.

I don't know if you'll enjoy it as a place to just hang, but (after the months upon months of seeding freeleech it takes to get a remotely decent buffer here) you'll find the selection is really wonderful. I have yet to come across a piece of mac software that isn't well seeded here, and new releases are pretty much 0-day (provided they are full releases and not private beta).

Hope that helps!

If you have a Mac and want high quality content, if you got an iphone or ipad and want jailbreak software, you can't be in a better place than brokenstones. There are also a lot of contents related with design, movie or sound when it comes to tutorials, stock material (textures, sounds, images, etc.) and plug-ins. Actually, you find almost everything that exist.

Regarding the community question. Yes, the forums are almost dead, but people are active when it comes down to comment the torrent quality or to solve install problems. I really do like that feature and always know what I am downloading. Staff/Admin maintain its content really clean and you never can't go wrong downloading from this tracker.

To make this short: Probably the best tracker I know.

I just started using this tracker thanks to an invite from a TI user. After using it a little, I very impressed with the variety of content. Almost any Apple software you could want is listed and well-seeded. They also have a decent amount of iPhone related content.

I have also found some great tech support in the forums, I posted an issue I was having with my mac and had it resolved within hours of posting.

I highly reccomend this tracker to anybody that uses a Mac, iPhone, or an other Apple products.

Thank You,
This is one the only Mac only Tracker Around..

Although i wish the site design was a little better

I've felt its not so easy keeping a good ratio in this tracker. A great tracker for mac users though. Tons of Mac Software.
