Here’s some more news from the torrent tracker scene – this time about three veteran trackers. LeechersLair (LL), a General/0Day torrent tracker has opened registrations to the public after a rather long pause. LL is not the only tracker to open registrations though – one of the best untouched DVD trackers in existence, The DVD Club has also opened signups for one day only. The occasion? They’re celebrating 4 years of being online. Speaking of birthdays, another major tracker is celebrating their birthday today – the popular TV torrent site BitMeTV is now 5 years old. BMTV doesn’t have open signups like the rest but its members may be in for a few surprises if what’s stated on the homepage is correct.

The DVD Club (TDC) is open
The DVD Club
When it comes to downloading untouched DVD5/DVD9/BD5/BD9 torrents, the DVD Club is one of the best resources on the net. TDC indexes movies and TV shows in their original DVD/Blu Ray format, complete with menus, extras, bonus content and more. You won’t find any XViD rips here but there are some x264 encoded torrents which needless to say have excellent video quality. TDC will be open for signup and have sitewide free leech today, in celebration of their 4th birthday.  You can read a detailed review of this tracker here (also includes screenshots).

Site Name: TheDVDClub (http://thedvdclub.org)
Signup URL: http://thedvdclub.org/signup.php
Stats: 9500+ users and 2500+ active torrents

LeechersLair registrations open
LeechersLair
LeechersLair (LL) is one of those private trackers that’s gone through a lot. The site has undergone multiple URL changes, server issues and faced numerous other obstacles but in the end they’ve managed to survive. There are still intermittent uptime issues but LL is still a great General/0Day tracker with a good community and decent download speeds. They’ve opened registrations to the public after having last opened doors in last August. You can read a full review of this tracker from this link (screens included).

BitMeTV is 5 years old
BitMeTV
Almost everyone who knows about BitMeTV dreams about getting into the tracker. It’s simply one of the best (if not the best) TV torrent trackers around. Although unnoticed by many, BMTV is one of the oldest private trackers in existence. It is now celebrating the 5th birthday which is a great achievement since not many trackers (private or public) survive for that long these days. BMTV is still going strong and have amassed around 22000 members and close to 25000 torrents as of 4/3/2010. It is currently unknown what benefits its members will receive as part of birthday celebrations – the site homepage simply says:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITMETV
BITMETV IS 5 YEARS OLD!!  
STAY TUNED FOR SURPRISES!!

What the ‘surprises' mentioned are currently unknown. It’s also worth noting that during their 5 years of being online, the site has only had open signups 2-3 times with the last open registration happening in August 2008.

    Im suprised that you didn't mention a few other facts about leecherslair
    1-they spam you with "donation" beggin non stop
    2-the speeds are any where between 10KB/s to 5MB/s ..... they allow thier VIPs to upload from thier traffic shaped home lines.
    3-when you first sign up you than have to PM a mod to get them to enable you for downloading......kin strange site and tbh not a very good site to join

    stick with the better trackers and give this one a pass unless you want to give the brit who owns it your money cause that is what this site is all about

    leechers is a shit tracker, their staff is rude and is very uncomforting. thhey always want u to donate to save your account or they have a good reason to ban u. they have crap rules for requesting too like u need a 100 posts on their forums and that their irc is crap with over powered staff who think they are next to god and can ban any user for having a good time.

    leecherslair is a very bad tracker, stay away from it if u can, there are others like bitsoup and even demonoid who are better but not leecherslair, they always want ur money to run their site. they have over-powered staff who are rude and dont hesitate to ban a user for the smallest thing. they have weird rules for requesting too, u would need 100 posts on their forums and if u do request on their irc channel, then u might end up beeing banned, this is the worse i've seen inspirte of beeing a member there for years now. they are not at all user friendly.

    @Chris,
    Open signups for TDC are probably over now. It's been hours since this article was posted.

    I would give anything to become a member of BitmeTV. If signups happen to open for their b-day could someone please post. Thanks so much in advance

    people like mx11110 make me laugh they slag off a tracker then say they have been a member for years. They also use a different nickname to post under as they dont want to get banned. LL is and has always been one of the best community trackers around and they reward those that get involved rather than those who just sit on the sidelines contributing nothing to the site!!

    Also just to add LL also only sends out 1 mass pm per month asking members to cover server costs, do you think they get dual Xeon servers and gigabit seedboxes for free??. Try a lot of other private trackers that constantly spam for donations one being revtt

    mx11110 and jaun, i think you should both stop talking out your ass and take your head out your anuses. Its pretty obvious you are trying to bad mouth LL when in fact its a great tracker. Every tracker asks for donations from time to time to cover its costs. They don't just ask for nothing, in return you get great bandwidth and upload credits. LL is probably one of the easiest trackers to maintain your ratio. They have seed bonus, double upload weeks, freeleech periods that last for weeks. They give away free stuff on every occasion whether it be christmas, the new year or LL's birthday. Anyone looking to join shouldn't think twice. Staff there are very helpfull and understanding toward anyone who is honest to them. So please stop hating.

    Guys you're talking rubbish...
