PureLiveGigs (PLG) is a private torrent tracker and a forum specializing in live shows. You can download videos and audios of live music, live concerts and the likes. PureLiveGigs’s BitTorrent tracker is tightly integrated to the forum, thus creating a great community of interested members. There is separate section in the forums (in addition to the torrent downloads section) dedicated to reviews and discussions of concerts and music albums. We do not have statistics on the number of torrents tracked by PLG or the number of registered users. But from what I have seen it looks like an active community.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time we are posting a music tracker that specializes in live shows so go check it out. Registrations are currently open.

Here is an interesting piece of software for laptop users. VeriFace is a face recognition software that is marketed by Lenovo. It identifies users based on unique facial features which essentially means that you can use your own face as the logon password in your laptop. Although only Lenovo laptops are officially supported by this software, I’ve seen comments by Toshiba, Sony VAIO, Acer and Dell laptop owners who successfully got VerfiFace running on their systems (see this thread for more comments). As far as I know this software quires a 1.3 megapixel camera installed on your laptop to function properly. Click here for a video demonstration.

veriface

Developer Description

The new VeriFace technology from Lenovo works in a particular way. When you sit in front of the camera, the system will generate two white dots that will follow your eyes, this will be show at your screen, then it will make the validation and let you log in the system. Different profiles can added and each user will recognized and the logged into their profile.  This will make things easier and safer, you will be able to protect your data, files and passwords from others. Tests have been made to check how safe the software is and if it could be easily hacked. Some of the tests included trying to access the system by using high resolution pictures, but the software detects when a picture is being used and doesn't lets the access.

Also the software is smart enough to recognize between a human face and an animal face, animals can't be enrolled to the system.
Many believe that this is a big evolution in biometric security that will help users to make things easier and to worry less about their data protection. The program also has "Automatic Locking" feature under "Real Time Monitor". By setting "Standby Time" VeriFace will auto inspect if you are away from the computer. If your status shows "Away", Windows will automatically be locked.
Under default setting, "Real Time Monitor" is turned off.

Popular private torrent tracker Leecher’s Lair (LL) is currently open for signup. It’s a General/0Day tracker which tracks Movies, Software, Games, E-Books and other 0Day releases. LeechersLair is a decent private tracker both in terms of user base as well as the content it tracks. Currently there are around 29800 members and 6200+ torrents on this tracker.

Leechers Lair indexes both scene and non scene releases along with a good number of unique packs such as Movie BOXSETS. Some of these packs are on free leech.

Screenshot: Some of the unique packs uploaded to LL ahead of Haloween.

The site is currently open for signups. The following notice is posted on the site:

Leecherslair will be closing it's doors and nailing them firmly shut as soon as we hit 30,000 members, this means there are only 650 accounts remaining, after that the invite system will be enabled, this system will then be open for a further 20,000 members but invites will be few and far between and the majority of invites will go to donors, after all it them that keep us going

At time of this post, there are only around 225 spots left if the above noticed is correct (LL posted a similar notice in September but did not close the gates permanently although the site stayed close for some time). It’s best to register an account ASAP if you want to become a member of LL.

We reported of the release of EA’s latest RTS game Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 few days ago. Some versions of Red Alert 3 such as the Premier Edition shipped with bonus content not available in the regular version. From what I have heard, these included wallpapers, multiplayer/skirmish maps, additional video, etc.

Owners of the regular version of Red Alert 3 (RA3) can now enjoy the bonus maps included in the special editions of RA3. How? Well the download links got leaked. They are now all over the internet and the funny thing is that I first saw them on EA’s official support forums. Guess they were not that exclusive after all :P

CnC-RA3-win-cover

There is a total of 10 official bonus maps in all 6 special editions of Red Alert 3. Remember that these are not some fan made maps – these are official maps you can use to play LAN/Online or Skirmish games and are downloaded directly from EA’s servers.

You can download the bonus map packs using the links below:

  • Premier Edition Maps (5 Maps): Download (30.4MB)
  • Pre-Order Maps (1 Map): Download (5.4MB)
  • Best Buy Pre-Order Bonus (1Map): Download (5.9MB)
  • Gamestop Pre-Order Bonus (1 Map): Download (6.5MB)
  • EA Store Pre-Order Bonus (1 Map): Download (7.5MB)
  • Warhammer: Online Pre-Order bonus map (1 Map): Download (5.5MB)

P.S.- There has been a torrent of these on TPB online for around 4 days now :P

Blackcats-Games referrals update

Posted by TEAM FILEnetworks | 11/03/2008 | | 51 Comments »

About a month ago we reported about the launch of referrals feature at Blackcats-Games (BCG), one of the most popular dedicated games torrent trackers on the net. Referrals feature was BCG’s alternative to an invite system where existing members can refer new users to the site (For more information on the referrals feature including how to use it, please see this article). Initially, referrals were only given to those ranked at or above ‘Super Power User (SPU)’.

The good news is that BCG added two referrals each for ALL  users with the Badge of Honor (regardless of the user’s rank) several hours ago. Here is the announcement posted on the site:

These are still in the testing stages, but we believe most of the important coding works on them.
So I have just give every User and Every Power User that has the badge of honour when i done it 2 referral codes.
If you have not got the badge Of Honour, then sorry but you missed out this time.
Also SPU and Above got 2 new codes with this as well,
We now have nearly 40,000 referrals in the System, so lets bring in some Quality members.
There is no FAQ/Rules for these yet, but here is the Thread I started when we had the Idea, Everything is either the same, or very close as to what is in there, so it will do until we can write up the Rules and FAQ for it.
http://www.blackcats-games.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=20522
Remember there are Bonuses for inviting good members, as well as Consequences for inviting bad ones.  But im am sure most of you have good judgement and can make this tracker even better than it is now.
The Staff

As you can see from the above, there are now around 40000 referrals in the system – getting hold of one should now be a lot easier than it used to be. This should be welcome news to those willing to get into the site including those who lost accounts when BCG changed login page as well as brand new members.

BCG_referrals

What is the badge of honor? 

The badge of honor is awarded to BCG members who have no hit and runs. That is, every torrent downloaded must be seeded back at least to a 0.80 ratio or more (either by actual upload or via seed points credited upload). To see if you have the badge of honor, look for the icon_badge icon in your BCG user details page.

CartoonChaos is a private torrent tracker specializing in Cartoons. It’s the sister site of TorrentKids (dedicated kids content tracker – signups open). On the title it says ‘Cartoon Chaos – The 1st Cartoon Torrent Tracker; I don’t know if they really are the first but there surely are not many dedicated cartoon trackers around. It’s well worth checking out.

At time of this post CartoonChaos tracks 600+ torrents and has a user base close to 1000. Content ranges from kids cartoons, educational toons to even mature cartoons such as The Simpsons.  There is also a good collection of packs with some containing entire seasons of shows. Apart from Cartoons, I've managed to find several animated movies on this tracker as well. Only con I found with CaroonChaos was that some of the torrents were left without seeders or only one seeder, a problem that will most likely be rectified as more members join the tracker.

The site is currently open for signup and interested users may join for free. Leave the invite code field blank when you sign up.

Update: Closed

<_w00t_> INVITES ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEE NO MORE INVITES

Was good while it lasted. Congrats to those who managed to get in.
__________________________________________________________

Ok folks I know some of you even dream about TorrentLeech (TL) while you sleep. This just might be your chance to get invited to TL for free. Just noticed the following message displayed on the site’s login page:

Signups are closed at the moment, and available only with an invitation. FOR JUST LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME,COME IN OUR IRC: irc.torrentleech.org:7011 channel #torrentleech and grab a free invite :) Ask politely,and leave your email.Have fun ;)

As the message says, log onto TorrentLeech IRC and request an invite (don’t spam the room and piss off the admins). Make sure you provide your valid e-mail address as this is where the invite will be sent to. Don’t provide hotmail addresses – use Gmail.

During the time I was idling on TL’s IRC channel, invites were given out to new members by _w00t_. I've seen comments by new members who got into the site using those invites. I don’t know for how long this will last but from what I’ve seen it’s well worth a shot. The chat room is being flooded by users as the news of this invites giveaway spreads so log in ASAP.
