What torrent tracker(s) do you use? - rz - 05-16-2014
We had a bad storm here yesterday, and as a result, my DVR seems to be dead. I think it's just a bad power supply, but Directv says they don't even try to restore stuff if your receiver is dead, they just give you a new one (I have to lease it). Anyway, I'm going to be losing about 100 or so hours of HD stuff that I had. I'm racking my brain to remember what was on there. For the few TV shows, I'm finding most of it on Usenet. But there are a few things I'm not finding. My favorite torrent tracker is no longer in service. What torrent trackers are people using? And if you have a favorite newsgroup tracker (I'm using binsearch), let me know that too. Thanks.

I don't think tracker is the term you're looking for, but check eztv.it for your shows.

i've read favorable things about torrents.fm.

Shows aren't the thing I'm worried about. I had a few dozen movies too.

Yeah, clients are what you're asking about.
Transmission gets good reviews.
Vuze is another popular on but it has a lot of busy stuff going on.

I would be careful about using it for this purpose as you're likely to get a few strikes with your ISP if one of the conglomerates that scans torrent files owns the content (particularly Comcast/NBC-Time-Warner.)

Sorry, I don't see why anyone thinks he's asking about clients and not trackers.

Second the eztv link (or mirrors) unless it's a really old episode, then TPB.
And second the suggestion for Transmission (even though that's not what you asked)

:agree:
And although I mostly use private trackers, my go to public tracker is kickass torrents. Then TPB.
