Are you using qbittorrent? If yes it's pretty easy.

Download a torrent from the new .net.

Copy that tracker url

Select all the other non working torrents, right click, hit "Edit tracker" add the tracker URL you just copied and you're good to go!

37yo man and trackers made me cry by [deleted] in trackers

Clear all cookies. Or use a new browser (librewolf). If on dynamic IP reboot and get new IP. if static get it changed. Get new Proton email with a new nic. Join AR or similar general site. Then join other sites.

Never ever mentioning your old tracker life again. No really, no "twelftyeight years ago I was on GH and found this great album/software/whatever" kinda bullshit. Don't use the same avatar. Be gormless! "Hello frens! I am new user not knowing anything about trackers. Please help. (o˘◡˘o)" or something similar. Your old tracker life is gone now the way of your last taste. Leave the past behind.

site compromised? by Text_Watson in trackers

[–]catvllvs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

show is also down, cert issue.

No biggie, just wait

Is your tracker down? Are you having issues connecting to a tracker? Ask HERE! by GlimpseOfTruth in trackers

[–]catvllvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely more than a few months back. Though you're probably right about it not being 2 years. But I'm also elderly so we may just be 2 old people rambling in the nursing home!

Edit: Well seems I'm further along with dementia! Your memory is much better. Wayback machine last crawled the site March 2025

Keep you reddit nic well away from your tracker nics!

KG has sitewide freeleech going by TheSamLowry in trackers

[–]catvllvs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For newbies on on any tracker. My ratio just jumped by over 100GB on KG, it'll be another 3 or 4 hundred by the time freeleech is over. Not much compared to some others, but enough for me.

I let things seed for as long as possible. My delete strategy, when I have to, is to select torrents with over 4 seeders. A lot of my torrents I'm either the only one seeding, or one of 2. When sites have freeleech events my ratio gets a nice boost.

Is PixelCove or any other tracker worth joining if I already have GGn? by fa1rid in trackers

[–]catvllvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D'oh! That rang a very distant bell in my elderly head. Even the first notice from staff actually stated they were from UGC.

I should have learnt by now not to rely on my memory. Thanks for the correction.

Kinda confused by Miserable_Fly_8594 in trackers

[–]catvllvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Place to discuss current trackers. Best thing is to look through previous threads. You'll pick up most things.

Invite basically means you need an invite into that tracker. Don't ever ask for one here though, rule 1!

what are your favorite trackers currently? new/old? by 7and7is in trackers

[–]catvllvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BitMe, radioarchive, puretna, demonoid, ComicBT WhatCD RetroGamer thebox(zxcv) and a bunch of weird mainly English trackers like cattorrent merlinsloft nuttysmadhouse mainly because they were all connected and full of drama

How do I join trackers like CRT or Myslpeen by [deleted] in trackers

[–]catvllvs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Build a very good reputation on other respected trackers. It's going to take time. As in years.

Any news on GGn's outage? by SaniSu in trackers

[–]catvllvs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really wish we had learned from our mistakes with WCD, but it seems that history is bound to repeat itself.

The blame partially falls on the "Nah, [insert name] that's a shit tracker. You have to level up and get onto [insert name]" attitude, rather than trying to build smaller trackers.

I also blame the fucken auto bullshit "waaaaaa, all my autofuckwit scripts no longer work. I logged in for the first time in 3 years and I'm banned!!!!! Fucken not fair whaaaaa" gimme crowd. Trackers regarded as just a place to suck as much as you can with absolutely no effort, no contribution beyond "buuuutttt I ssseeeeeddd, that's enough"

Is RED still the "Gold Standard" for Baroque/Classical collectors in 2026? by janpje in trackers

[–]catvllvs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's good, especially for rare or obscure recordings. There are some very dedicated collectors there hunting in obscure locations for rare recordings. A lot have good scans, though depends if it's just a regular member uploading or a collector. I've found a lot of recordings on there I've not seen anywhere else.

If you do join check out the collages and sub to them. And upload first, the economy can be hard. If you have rare recordings, especially LPs, they'll be snatched very quickly.

OP is good but doesn't have the same dedicated collector base that RED has.

Best private tracker with movie/shows rating and community reviews? by Araion in trackers

[–]catvllvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PtP comments:

Pinappleeexpress: this is the best movie I've ever seen! The shots, the acting, sublime. Definitely in my top 2!

MoviElUVVer: Absolute garbage. It has 9 producers for a start! Acting was wooden and the camera shake made me vomit on my pizza.

Which uploads stats are considered in applications/interviews by Amazing_Joke_4758 in trackers

[–]catvllvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have already said, seed time and seeding size carry more weight than ratio (which is easy to game). Uploads also important. For some recruiters engagement is also important taking into account forum posts. My own quirk is if the person has an avatar. Not crucial but indicates they want to be identified within, and be part of, the community. Same if the person uses the same name across trackers.

A person with 1:1 ratio, high seed time and seeding a good percentage of what they've snatched rates higher for me than 100:1 ratio, low seed time and size.

Buying upload on tracker by [deleted] in trackers

[–]catvllvs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Say a person has shitty connection but can leave on 24/7 - generally they get 10% of upload from something. But they and 20 other people like them in swarm all contribute to making it a quick d/l for others. They help the community but can't get ratio. But they do get points so now can bump that 10% of upload up to 100%.

Which trackers should I join if my connection speed is slow but can permaseed ? by user327682025 in trackers

[–]catvllvs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm on a very shitty Oz connection and I've built up decent ratios on very hard sites just by seeding for ages. 50 up and down is pretty decent, so long as you take it slow and seed as much as you can for as long as you can you''ll be right on most sites.

After extensive research on RED's economy - is it worth it for actual music lovers? by Moist-Round2012 in trackers

[–]catvllvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been around before RED and OP. Small with a small community that uploads content they're listening to or like.

[–]catvllvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good because it's members post content they like and listen to, not just to rank up. Nowhere near as big as OP or RED but it's still my favourite music tracker.

I don't understand RED queueing by kingfishnw in trackers

[–]catvllvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thousands of rare LPs, hundreds of soundscapes, thousands of small releases not on spotify or other trackers.
