So, in common with members of the Warez Scene who also have their own races to see who can be numero uno, many torrent sites are involved in competition too.
In recent times, the ability to get the latest releases first after they have pre’d (been released onto the net) has become one of the major bragging rights site staff and members use to demonstrate that their community is ‘better’ than that of their competitors. These sites, one way or another, nurture their image and desirability using things such as the apparent exclusivity of their community, the size and quality of their swarms (which by necessity require a decent number of contributors) and their efficiency at getting the best material first. Hollywood and IFPI can’t stop that free flow of information – and neither can site owners.Īlthough there are plenty of smaller communities with a few hundred members, a large proportion of the more visible private sites – despite what some of their users may think – could not survive without a level of publicity since members are kicked out all the time. The facts of life on the web are simple – if you’re on there, have a URL and you invite people to your torrent site, word spreads as easily as the files being shared on it.

There is always someone spilling the beans on even the most supposedly low-profile of locations – often with the full knowledge of the ‘secret’ site’s staff. One only has to look around the most prominent half dozen torrent invite communities. Maybe in some ideal, utopian world that doesn’t obey the normal laws of society and human nature that might be possible, but this is 2010 and the days of staying completely under the radar are long gone. Very often there is an opinion put forward that ‘the Scene’ should never be spoken about, and that private BitTorrent trackers are somehow super-secret locations that only the privileged few know about.
Writing about the Warez Scene and private BitTorrent trackers always has the potential to ruffle the feathers of a passionate sub-section of the file-sharing community.
