• One of the most popular, most wanted, well organized, well managed, kind of hard to get in to, sort of hard to seed trackers out there in the BT world.
• Dedicated tracker for single TV episodes, packs.
• It has a huge amount of TV series from all over the world. You can see that by looking at the huge category list below.
• There are over 20k registered users and 27k torrents as of Oct 30, 2010. From all of those torrents the dead torrents are like 6395. So most of the torrents are alive and well seeded. Even most old torrents have few seeders.
• Download speeds are very high. I'm getting the full speed from my connection and the seedbox when downloading from bitmetv. I've only seen this kind of a max speed from few trackers.

Info about how you get invites :

There is a 25000 user limit and we have become an invite-only tracker. Any new members must receive an invitation before they can join.

Invites are given to qualified members so that they may invite their friends to become members of BitMeTV. Invites are allocated by the system automatically to Power Users and above, when the necessary qualifications are met.

Invites are automatically handed out in 30 day increments depending on the ratio of the user.
The minimum class to receive invites is still power user.
Invites are a precious commodity. Do Not Abuse The Privilege.
The amount of invites a person gets depends on their ratio but will never exceed the total allotted.

ratio is .95 - .999 = 1 invite
ratio is 1.0 - 1.049 = 2 invites
ratio is 1.05 and up = 3 invites

If a member with a ratio of 1.05 or higher has 3 invites already when the next 30 day rolling period comes around they would get 0 invites added even though they qualified for 3 more.
If they had used 1 then the system would grant them 1 more invite instead of 3 and so on.
A member also has to have downloaded a certain amount to obtain each level.

1-7GB for 1 invite
7-10GB for 2 invites
10GB+ for 3 invites

• Staff members are very sticky with the rules so if you get caught for trading invites or any violating of rules most of the time no disabling accounts, you will just get banned. IRC is a cool place to hang out and they are very helpful.
  
• Seeding a torrents is sort of kind of a competition there. The second after the torrent has been uploaded, users are trying download the torrent and seed. So if you are late, you know what will happen.
• Most latest hit series have so many seeders so someone who tries to make a big buffer can seed those torrents for a while or upload them if you have the resources. Either way you can increase your ratio. Like they say
  If you have something that is not on the site yet. UPLOAD IT. Please do not wait for someone else to do it (but please read the upload rules and FAQs carefully first to make sure it's allowed). NEED HELP - DON'T KNOW HOW? ASK FOR HELP in the forums or via a pm.
  
  Remember Nothing Helps Your Ratio Better Than Uploading Something New!

bitmetv does have a huge selection of movies and speeds are very fast but seeding can be a pain in the ass if you don't jump on new torrents the second they come on..
another thing you'll notice is there's usually a 1 gig and a 350mb version of the same show..i recommend downloading the smaller of the two :)
another thing is you want to make sure its a show that alot of people download too or else it can just be a waste :P
but with this site the only way to get ahead really is by uploading your own shows :)

I've been on this site for 4 years now and have to agree with the review. The speeds are nice, lots of content, ratio keeping painful .
My strategy was like this: I copied something my brother downloaded (season packs), seeded with my name, built a buffer and then started dl-ing myself. I must say, I don't understand the reason of limiting the torrent slots, because I have 800GB of season packs and can't seed them all, because I only have 50 slots
A good site nevertheless

Site is awesome. Amazing pre-times and speeds, but ratio is rly painful. Is hard to keep ratio >1.0 But if u want u can do that with home connection. If you are looking best TV series tracker with great packs you must be there.

The site FAQ says that when you become a VIP you get 125 slots. build up that ratio and you should be fine. Just seed the rarer stuff and you'll get there in no time. It's what I'm aiming for

How do I cross seed here? Since most files are only 1 link compared to the usual .rar scene release?
Can someone help me out? I use rTorrent

Cross seed from BTN or TvT.com, they are all unrared there, or unrar them yourself from a scene tracker torrent.

Better yet, move to those sites and let BMTV for the absolute obscure stuff that you still can't find at BTN or TvT.com... yet.

is it good than BTN ??
