If you aren’t a total newbie to the BitTorrent scene, chances are that you have heard about the likes of Zamunda, ArenaBG (Open) and RARBG (Open). Although not run by the same admin team, all of these sites share some common characteristics with each other - they are all huge torrent sites with massive torrent indexes and all have user bases exceeding over 100000 members. Todays post is about another BitTorrent tracker that is similar to Zamunda and Co; P2PBG. P2PBG is another huge private...

Over the last couple of months, we have featured quite a few BitTorrent invite & news forums on this blog. Some of these sites such as VTN have been successful while some others have now disappeared without a trace. Here’s another new BT forum which we hope will become a success – Su.Per Food is a brand new site that’s just entering the file sharing scene. Although it’s new, it appears to be run by a knowledgeable bunch of folks who crave to do something different. The site already features...

As a Dropbox fan, I am always looking for new uses for the ubiquitous cloud storage service. Matt Fisher, whose videos have been featured on TUAW before, has produced a new video chock-full of great Mac OS X Dropbox tips.

In this 10-minute clip, Matt shows:

• How to copy the Mac clipboard to a Dropbox text file by creating an Automator service
• A demo of AirDropper, an excellent way of securely requesting files from others and having them delivered via Dropbox
• How to email files to Dropbox using Habilis
• A quick way to access your Dropbox using a Chrome Extension (also available for Firefox)
• Start torrents from any computer or device connected to Dropbox
• Add PDFs to iBooks
• Edit files from anywhere using Droptext

Some of these tips are rather straightforward, while others are incredible "why didn't I think of that" ideas that can really help make you more productive. What are your favorite things to do with Dropbox and your Mac? Leave us a comment.

2010 has been a particularly good year for specialized games torrent trackers. We’ve seen some promising new trackers such as GazelleGames emerge, we’ve seen veteran sites such as bitGAMER announce new changes and we’ve even seen old school trackers such as Underground Gamer and Blackcats Games opening signups. This post is about yet another new addition to the gaming tracker scene - GameBurner (its name and logo seems to be inspired by the popular feed management service FeedBurner). GB is a...

There was a time when new General/0Day trackers were featured almost everyday here on this blog. Lately, we’ve been focusing a lot on giving the spotlight to new niche torrent trackers and it wouldn’t be wrong to say general trackers were ignored to a certain extent. Today’s post however is about an excellent general/0day torrent site – CZTEAM, a tracker we’ve had very good relations with since a long time. CZTEAM (formerly CZONE) is a closed private community that indexes all sorts of content...

Good news for all those who missed signing up for Blackcats Games (BCG) when it was open to the public 2 days ago. According to site owner stoi, BCG temporarily halted accepting new members to fix a few bugs in their registration process. As we predicted, signups have once again been opened and you should now be able to create a Blackcats account without issues. If site statistics are correct, open signups have so far been a massive success - there have been ~10000 new accounts created in this...

When it comes to BitTorrent related articles, we usually bring you good news such as the launch of new trackers or open signups of existing ones. However, today is not one of those days and the news we have is not so good if you are a fan of BitTorrent. One of the few Mac trackers on the planet, Save The Coratee (STC), has shut down its operations possibly for good. Needless to say this is a critical blow to the Mac torrent tracker scene which is now left with only 1-2 specialized trackers such...

As we mentioned in a previous post, StarCraft 2 : Wings of Liberty is one of the most anticipated PC games of this year. According to various reviews floating around the net and from my own experience after playing the game for several hours, it looks like Blizzard had delivered yet another great Real Time Strategy (RTS) title. No matter how great the game was, it did not escape the eyes of pirates – SC2 was leaked on scene topsites and various file sharing sites on the street date itself (the...

Blackcats-Games (or BCG), is without a doubt one of the most talked about torrent sites in the BitTorrent community. It’s probably the most popular specialized games tracker on the planet, with more than 12500 games torrent in its index. Additionally, BCG is set to celebrate its 7th birthday this August making it one of the oldest private trackers in existence. Blackcats is a private tracker and it hasn’t had an open signup in more than two years – the only way into the site has been through...
