Although we have posted information on torrent trackers in the past, none of the posts carried much information.

Here is a table containing the torrent trackers we at FILEnetworks have used. You'll note that some of the bigger names such as TorrentLeech are missing from the list. This is because they are extremely hard to get into and some such sites have closed registration (even invite based registration) indefinitely. It's by no means a complete list but between the sites listed below, you pretty much will be able to get anything you want; let it be a latest scene release or a rare movie from the 1970s.

Note: Whenever possible, try to use a private tracker instead of a public one. They have almost no fakes and the downloads are extremely fast. Check for 'signups open' message in the Notes/Comments field to find sites that are currently open for signup. It does not mean that the Signups will be open forever but that they are open as of the time of post (31st of December).  A private tracker usually opens Signups for a limited time so we recommend you to register ASAP.

PicturesToExe Deluxe has a simple and intuitive interface that makes creating a slide show very easy. All you need to do is choose your images and add some music if you wish. The Slide show produces sharp, clear pictures and the smoothest playback of Pan/Zoom effects you have ever seen! You can place objects (images or text labels with drop shadow) on a slide and customize complex animations.

Moreover, you can use a variety of cinematographic transition effects between slides, add background music and add sound and text comments to each slide. You can also precisely synchronize slides to music. VideoBuilder in PicturesToExe Deluxe allows you to quickly and easily burn DVD-Video discs from your slide shows. You can adjust DVD menus and customize many parameters of your DVD disc. You may also create AVI video files. If desired, you can protect your slide show with a password and also assign an expiration date.
