It’s time for another monthly open signup update. This post includes a summarized list of 12 private torrent trackers that are either directly open for signup or are accessible to the public by an alternate means such as an online invite application. Some of the notable torrent sites that we discussed here on this blog for the past one and a half months are included here. Among the list are BitTorrent trackers that specialize in various niches such as music (MP3 and Lossless), movies, software (Windows, Mac and Linux), information technology resources such as programming or networking, as well as general trackers that cover a broader range of content. Out of the 12 sites featured in the post, 3 are ratio free trackers. Some of the sites included in the list are supposed to go invite only starting 1st of February so you might want to hurry if you haven’t signed up for those yet. As usual, updated site statistics, signup URLs and links to a full tracker review is included with each entry.

It’s recommended that you read the full review before signing up for a tracker – this will give you a better idea on what sort of content you can find on a site and help you decide whether you really need to become a member of it or not. Note that confirmation emails sent by some services go to spam folder.
