I have 3 invites to a tv series only localtrackerthat should work just fine for anyone. They're sometimes faster than iptorrents and I've been using them for years for all my tv series. PM for a invite code thingie.

So, how do you get a BTN invite now a days?
Unless you know someone, the only way is if they are still giving some away in places like the What.CD power users forum. I'm listed as having invites, but only "Master" level can actually use them, and it says they have unlimited invites. I'm an "Extreme User" level, and to get to Master I'd need to download 2220 more torrents (currently have 780). I've also got about 2.2TB total traffic, and I'd need to have 7.5TB. Aside from other requirements like bonus points, but I assume I'd easily be there by the time I grabbed that many more torrents.

Kind of sucks if you can't get in, but it's an awesome tracker if you ever do. I'll check back in a few years when I'm a Master level user

It will undoubtedly change/die before I get there though.

IPT has been having serious tracker issues lately. It's down again. Gotta get in on another good tracker.

Works fine for me right now, maybe this will help:
We have fully upgraded our tracker, if you are unable to connect to our new tracker, reboot your PC/server to get the new tracker's IP.

Yeah, saw that yesterday. You don't need to reboot. Just close your torrent client, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns", then start your client again. Problem should be solved.

Edit: I'm too slow!

From my 1 and only use of The Pirate Bay, holy god, I can't believe how many people are on that site compared to IPT. I generally snag a show shortly after it posts like Spartacus or Game of Thrones and on IPT I can pull in a 20:1 ratio within 24 hours or so. The 1 show I snagged from TPB, I had a 140:1 ratio the next morning(about 12 hours). Too bad ratio means jack and squat on a public site like that, but that's just crazy regardless.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone willing to offer me an invite to any site that I can download "place beyond the pines" at. I went to the movies, my anxiety kicked in big time and I left. So I'm out $6.50 and just want to see the movie.

I have 2 IPT invites. PM Email. Plus 14 xspeeds.eu/ invites. Good backup/mma tracker. Plus keeping ratio is very easy with a much better ui than ipt.

Edit: IPT invites are gone for now.

I've been using Peerblock for a couple years for Torrents, but it's becoming a big pain in the ass to use my browser and add new pages to the allow list constantly, and even whitelisted sites load slow as fuck. If I allow HTTP, all of the connections related to torrents are still blocked right? Only thing I want it for is to keep my torrent activity protected, but I'd rather not have to close utorrent/peerblock whenever I want to do stuff on the internet.

peerblock doesn't really do shit, just don't use public torrent sites (piratebay etc) and you won't need it. to be extra safe don't seed anything more than you need to.
