If you like classic movies and obscure TV shows, you’ll love this news. Gormogon, one of the better specialized private torrent trackers around for retro movies and television shows, is currently open for signup. That’s not all, in celebration of their first year online, the site will have site wide free leech (aka gold torrents) throughout this month. Gormogon, which started off as a resurrection of Classic Cinema Zone (CCZ), recorded impressive growth during the past year to become of of the larger retro movie trackers around. It now tracks over 10000 torrents, a feat only a handful other sites in this niche have been able to achieve. Gormogon was initially invite only (and hence we did several invite giveaways for it earlier) but later opened its doors to the public, bringing in more activity into the site.
Gormogon started off it’s operations back in 2009 as a resurrected version of Classic Cinema Zone. It however was run by a different admin and staff panel than CCZ and was rebuilt from scratch (which seemed to be a good idea as there were so many complaints about CCZ’s staff – just have a look at the comments posted here). So far, things seem to have gone pretty well for Gormogon – it’s established a firm foothold in the BitTorrent community with nearly 4500 active members and it’s torrent index now lists over 10k movies and TV shows including some very hard to find torrents (during our previous review back in December 2009, there were only around 1700 active members and 6300+ torrents).
Speaking of the content indexed on Gormogon, you won’t find any of the new movie releases, TV shows or games you see on most General trackers here – this site is all about classic, retro, hard to find, obscure content that belong to a bygone era. There’s an impressive collection of classic movies on this tracker, ranging from films produced in the 1930s to those made in the late 1980s. Television shows from the same era can also be downloaded – there are some awesome full season packs of rare TV series indexed here. In addition, quite a few OST (official soundtracks) from retro hits, classic music and even old radio shows are also available for download.
Some of the torrents indexed on Gormogon are tracked by public trackers such as OpenBitTorrent. These torrents are obviously excluded from ratio rules. However, the vast majority of indexed content are tracked by Gormogon’s own private tracker – such torrents are subject to ratio rules but usually have better download speeds.
Signups for this tracker are currently open. As stated earlier, the entire site will be on free leech throughout this month in celebration of Gormogon’s first birthday. If you are interested in downloading retro movies and TV shows, you might want to check this site out.
