TvTorrentz.org (not to be confused with Tvtorrents.com) is currently open for signup. It’s a decent TV tracker with ~4000 members and 2300+ torrents. Currently there are around 150 spots available in this week’s open signup. Should be a useful tracker for new users as well as those who are missing their daily dose of TV Shows due to tv.torrents.ro being offline.
For signup URLs, tracker review, and more information, please refer to this post.
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
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:
P.S.- There has been a torrent of these on TPB online for around 4 days now :P

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.

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.
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

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.

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.
TorrentLeech IRC Channel can be found on:
