Thread: iLoveTorrents (ILT) Review

I <3 iLovetorrents (iLt) great site! Great review.

I have been a member of this tracker for 4 1/2 years. It's a great general tracker. It doesn't have a lot of members compared to some of the larger trackers but it's got a great community and downloads are usually quick. You can always trust the downloads there and they are all in rar'd compressed format. It's an easy site to keep up your ratio on (I never had any problems seeding popular torrents without a seedbox), great for people that don't take their trackers super serious, and you can always donate to receive download credits.

Great review, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.

I've been a recent member of that site. I managed to get a power user status with 3.2 upload ratio. I was constantly uploading from my Networked Media Tank (PopcornHour). Recently I tried to log in to the site an find out that mine acct was disabled. After contacting the helpdesk I find out that my acct was disabled because I didn't log in to the site in the past 30 days ( I guess that nobody cared that I was uploading ). I also been told that the only way to reactivate my acct is to make a donation. After I told them that I wasn't some rookie with low ratio, but rather supporting member with 3 times more upload than download - my ip was completely blocked from the site with the message saying

403 Forbidden

Very good and under-rated tracker.

Good:
Excellent pre times. Would consistently be 5 or 6 if they ran a trace bot. Gets all scene releases seconds after the top sites do.
Incredible DL speeds. The owner of this site runs several others and this is the top of the chain. Pre's come in here and there are several other scripted seed boxes that DL and up to his downstream sites. Always 3-4 seedboxes on fresh torrents this way.
Another nice side effect of this is anything you upload gets jumped on automatically by seed boxes. So frustrating on some sites when you up something and it sits there with only a couple slooow end users DLing.

Bad:
The donation spam. At least once a week. Not as bad lately as it was though. For a while there it was almost daily doom and gloom "donate or we shutdown" messages.
Weird Rar rules. Everything on the site except music has to be rar'd, and they have weird sizing rules so most scene uploads don't conform to the site rules. There is supposed to be an exception for scene content, but overzealous/inexperienced mods will nuke uploads for it.
No Freeleach section.

Overall It's probably my favorite site. Pretty easy to maintain ratio as long as you jump on stuff early. Not so easy if you are late (but I guess that's how they get their donations..). Seedboxes, but not so many that it's impossible to seed (like IPT and SCC.. Too many seedboxes and you have to rely on freeleach to maintain ratio..) Good staff uploaders that cover the stuff the main scene bot doesn't.

This one is on my top 3 list. Member for years.

I used to be a member of this site but my account was disabled due to inactivity. I was surprised i got pruned as i was a donator. Anyway i did not mind losing the account as i got fed up with the constant donating spam and found much better community and speeds on other general trackers.
