For a couple of years now, I have been using a number of torrent sites to download stuff — they are mostly TV series or movies I haven’t seen in theaters. I started with MiniNova and then moved on to The Pirate Bay.

However, recently, I have been having problems with Pirate Bay as most of the time the site is not loading at all. I also bought a HD media player (HDX NMT 1000) a couple of months with 1TB HDD because it has a built-in bittorrent client that downloads directly into the device (I no longer need a PC for that).

It’s got a nice, clean design with a web2.0-feel to it and best of all, no annoying ads or pop-up banners. And aside form the usual trackers, there are also direct HTTP downloads for selected files.

The volume of content isn’t very extensive yet considering the site is fairly new. However, I’d settle for this one anytime as long as the current stream of new updates are regular and well-seeded.

I liked the idea that they’ve also integrated IMDB into the system so I can browse around for new movies or TV shows and get some background information about them thru IMDB. I usually find new TV shows to follow using IMDB.

I’ve already downloaded a couple of torrents from the site and so far, they all went down perfectly. If you’re looking for some alternative torrent portal, consider checking out Kick Ass Torrents.

How do I get these files on to my iPhone ?

scoobie · 17 years ago

There are far more better private trackers out there if you know where to look eg. Sct,Scc,TL,IPT,RevTT,GFT,BCG,BitMeTVWaffles.fm to name a few. Most uploaders from these private trackers have scene access, meaning as soon as a movie/music/app has been released by any scene group, they have it uploaded within minutes. Also, majority of their uploaders use seedboxes with bandwidth of up to 1Gbps, so there is a guarantee that you’ll finish a 700MB torrent within a few minutes, of course it will depend on your download speed. If you wanna get into the world of private torrent trackers then try here first -> http://www.torrent-invites.com/ . It’ll be hard for new people to get into those trackers but once your in you’ll be glad you did.

^ even with a high number of seeders, that doesn’t mean that all of them are online and uploading at the moment. nothing beats a private tracker. try it and you’ll know what i mean.

lemonoid · 17 years ago

i use btjunkie.org. it has the highest seeders. compare it against demonoid, tpb, or mininova and you’ll believe me.

daemon · 17 years ago

Use rapidshare or Megaupload i hate torrent site ISP throttles the speed here in the philippines. You can search stuff on WAREZ BB the number 1 forum all on RS or Megaupload .

erikjames · 17 years ago

pwede naman ung kickasstorrents.com nakapagsignup pa nga ako eh. ung demonoid.com ang under site maintenance

Carlo Trinidad · 17 years ago

@ moejun : just the thing I need, a private tracker full of HD torrents! email me at cn****@gmail.com and you’ll have your demonoid invite as well (fyi, their site is down at the moment but their trackers are alive and kicking)

I should known better than download files without updating my anti-virus… any how… I guess it’s time to try it once more. Before I used bittorrent but that’s where my problem started..

sir yuga,mabilis po din ba magdownload ng torrent sa HD PLAYER?ayos siguro yan kasi tipid sa kuryente hindi na kailangan maghapon bukas ang pc.

Jenny Miller · 17 years ago

Hey Yuga check this out: filenetworks.blogspot.com nice website for your torrent needs :)

aldrin · 17 years ago

immortalseed is currently closed for new registrants. invites only…

tas · 17 years ago

if you are in search of a torrent site for movies, go to superfundo.org. it has a selection of every rippers available in the internet. if you want to have a 5.1 audio, the best rippers would be rock and flawl3ss. just look for them in the “rippers” tab

ikogsakanding · 17 years ago

what about demonoid?

berkano · 17 years ago

Yuga If you need an invite to the sites i mentioned just email me. Parang nag close na yata sila. I’m quite sure na hindi ka naman yung mga hit and run type. As long as you keep your ratio good then you can be trigger happy.

petken · 17 years ago

This is my first time to see Kick Ass and it seems like it’s a good site.

petken · 17 years ago

http://superfundo.org/ for movies
http://eztv.it/ for tv shows

These sites have big libraries of torrents.

joeyboy · 17 years ago

my boss is also using kickass torrents.

iTechMe · 17 years ago

i’ve been using immortalseed for quite some time now… the only thing they require is that you should have a ratio of 1:1 so that your account should not be banned hehe private trackers requires certain ratios except for demonoid

zte · 17 years ago

@wha – same here. I tried registering but the page is blank after hitting the submit button.

whaâ„¢ · 17 years ago

i can’t register..

zte · 17 years ago

@berkano – thanks for the tip! Haven’t heard of those site before. Will also check them out.

berkano · 17 years ago

Hi Yuga. You can do even better by signing up with Private portals such as immortalseed or xtremespeeds. When you become a member of such sites you’ll be able to access their growing library of torrents (i especially like their documentaries and updated tv listings) including 720p and 1080p flicks, perfect for your media tank. Downloading time is incredible even for torrents with only a few seeds. All they ask is that you seed back as long as possible.

Torrents are not hosted on their site but by the users themselves. I’m not sure if you can use the ip address of your HDX though, but it is worth a try.
