At various points of time we have posted articles on various private torrent trackers that offer free IRC invites. IRC invites are probably one of the easiest and safest (but also one of the most underused) ways to get into a private site – you don’t need to worry about trading or the presence of known cheaters/scammers in the invite tree as the invitation comes directly from tracker staff/administration. So here is a list of 11 private trackers (plus 1 BitTorrent invite forum) and addresses of their free invite channels – hopefully this list will reduce the amount of invite begging you’ll have to do and provide easy access to at least a few of your favorite trackers.
Note that you might have to go through an interview or may be asked to provide speedtests, ratio proofs, etc during the IRC invite process. What you should do varies according to the tracker you are dealing with – we have provided tracker specific instructions where possible. Some common guidelines would be not to PM (private message) channel ops without permission and avoid spamming the channel.
Also, If you are an IRC noob, we suggest you read this article about mIRC and how to easily connect to an IRC channel using the software.
