Hey yall, just for fun I had the idea of making our own community tier list for trackers. Lumping them all together regardless of category, just rating them on how well they do what they do.

Commit if you have any changes or additions and I will update!


S-Tier

A-Tier

  • Anthelion (ANT) - Moives
  • Nebulance (NBL) - TV
  • BeyondHD (BHD) - Movies/TV
  • Blutopia (Blu) - Movies/TV
  • MoreThanTV (MTV) - Movies/TV
  • Orpheus - Music
  • AnimeBytes (AB) - Anime
  • Bibliotik (BiB) - eBooks

    That’s kind of a chicken-and-egg problem there, although I didn’t know there were open registration for any of them. Is there a place to know when they are open? Or interview, I’m going to have to look that up.

      For a website there is:

      https://opentrackers.org/

      but I feel like it’s been lacking lately. For both more and faster updates I’d suggestion joining the telegram group, it does pretty well:

      https://t.me/opensignup

      And it’s not even a compromise to use open trackers nowadays, several in the A-tier list have been open just this past couple months.

        Maybe an update to the OP here then would be to indicate Open vs Private. Being A-tier doesn’t help me if I’m not a member and can’t get an invite!

          Patience, this is a new community, but I plan to add lots of info in this regard, this is just the first in a series of posts that will make up the community knowledge base.

            Oh yea, not trying to be bossy! But moving from a small-time private tracker up the tiers is strangely complicated, so differentiating them would certainly be helpful.

          A more informative chart would certainly be helpful, given that while IPTorrents is harder to join than TorrentLeech, it’s also not as good in terms of content. At the same time, while I don’t think TorrentLeech belongs in the B-Tier, it’s certainly among the easiest to join of the trackers in the A-Tier while not be the most useful as a launchpad for joining better trackers in the A and S tiers. Of the trackers that have open signups, AlphaRatio seems to be a better starting point, but I’ve unfortunately yet to get an invite to it.
