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!

Additional trackers and my ratings. Curious to see anyone's take on them.

I highly appreciate a well organized tracker that also accommodates the *arr suite. Also if it's the best in its category, even if it doesn't hit the mark on other factors.

If drama doesn't affect normal use of the website, then it's not a big factor for me. I only seriously got into the private tracker scene 2 years ago.

Should we include public trackers?

Oh wow, this is a big list lol. Haven't heard of someone of these so will take a bit to work through it, but thanks for contributing!

Oh and I wasn't planning on including public trackers, I just made an exception for Nyaa since it's so well regarded in it's category.

Also wasn't planning on including too many hyper niche trackers as I was planning to make another post about those later.

I've heard a bit about Anthelion and Nebulance, is the retention there good?

[–] mrjfilippo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, retention is very good on ANT and NBL. If it wasn't of the past drama of the site owner, they would be A tier trackers on everyone's lists IMHO.

It's a fun compilation, happy to contribute something to it. Happy to give more info if need be.

[–] zebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm curious about the drama.. what happened? LOL

[–] mrjfilippo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

There's a 5 year old Reddit thread where the creator shut down NBL and called out some Redditors and trackers he had beef with, but some didn't even know why. Seems like he would go on tantrums and easily ban people too.

Just poor ways to manage whatever issues he had. Don't know much more.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe the releases I was looking for aren't widely available, but neither Oxtorrent, Torrent911, nor YGGTorrent seemed to be better for finding French releases than a tracker like 1337x is for finding English ones. On another note, while I'm still on the lookout for an AlphaRatio invite, research seems to indicate that it's at least better than TorrentLeech. Conversely, unless PrivateHD is not as good as other trackers on the Avistaz network, it didn't seem to have anything TorrentLeech didn't last time I checked.

[–] mrjfilippo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You know, I think I was too generous for YGGtorrent. Lately it has been hard to connect it to autobrr and Prowlarr. More of a B tier tracker. I heard good things about HD-Only but it's been difficult to register. Qctorrent and t411 were the good days.

On the other hand, TL has been a pleasant surprise. I had an account with them for 5 years but forgot and never bothered until recently. It constantly has choice, retention, and decent monitoring. Many TV shows I have also release fast. What stands out is that it's been very easy to build up my ratio. AR has been similar to TL but it's taking me three times as long to build up ratio.

Avistaz is specifically for Asian content. Very good for hard to find stuff and their request community is excellent.
