It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the easiest way of getting into private BitTorrent trackers is via open signups. However, there’s a growing trend in the BT community which is proving to be increasingly popular – IRC recruitment & invite applications. It works like this: private trackers set up their own official invites channels on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) servers or make invite applications available to the public. Usually after a short interview process ort a questionnaire (in some cases a simple request is all that’s needed), qualifying members are invited into the tracker. This is actually a very safe way of obtaining invitations with no risk of trading, scamming or other malpractices as tracker staff themselves are involved. It may sound like a complex process but those who’ve gotten into their favorite sites through IRC invites would disagree. We have on numerous occasions posted about torrent trackers with IRC recruitment – this post is a summary of 12 such sites we discussed during the past 2-3 months.
Before you log into any IRC channel, please take a moment to read the following points:
- Sometimes you will have to idle on IRC channels for a long time as tracker staff may not always be online. Time zone differences can also get in the way. In addition, things may get delayed if there are a lot of people in invite request queue. Have patience and eventually you’ll get in.
- Always read the IRC channel topic/invite application instructions before doing anything. Breaking channel rules, spamming channel and Private Messaging (PM) staff without prior permission can often lead to you getting kicked out and in some cases getting banned from IRC servers.
- Entry requirements will vary depending on the tracker. Some sites may require you to provide ratio proofs and profile links from other torrent trackers you are already a member of. Some may also require you to provide SpeedTests.
- It is recommend that you read the full review of a site before requesting an invite.
- If you are new to IRC, take a moment to read this brief tutorial. Really, it’s not as complex as it sounds.
This is only the first part of a series of similar articles; there are lots of other trackers that offer invites on IRC channels and they will all be featured here in the coming days (unless it’s a secret tracker that doesn't prefer publicity) .
