    FearNoPeer is a private tracker that focuses on movies and tv shows, although there is some additional content. They offer freeleech and are friendly towards new members.

    I can register, but when I try to login, I am getting an error saying the credentials do not match their records. Tried to test the password a couple times but the error is still there.

        Yes, there was actually a typo on my comment. I meant to say that I tried to RESET the password a couple times, but the message is still there.

      I didn’t experience that when I signed up, but I’ve read comments from other users that did experience that. For them, their original credentials began working within a few hours. Report back and let us know?

    Thanks for sharing! Seems decent for e.g. TV shows.

    Where on the site does it state the global FL? I can’t see it, and it seems that my first downloads were actually counted, and affected my ratio a bit.

      On the homepage, fearnopeer.com, there is a section titled, “Featured Torrents = Free Leech and x2 Upload Credit”. They have an assortment of mostly movies and a few show episodes marked as featured.

        Thank you. I saw that. But the post reads:

        And there’s global free leech while signups are open

        What you’re describing doesn’t sound like global.

          Ah, I didn’t post the global freeleech portion. I think that I because I crossposted a previous post from this community regarding the same tracker and same topic, and the original post had that comment. Sorry for the confusion.

            Oh, I see. That makes sense. I’ve just grabbed a huge bunch of 6+ months old small-sized uploads to earn a load of bonus points over time, so that I can later buy some GB of upload to recover the ratio :P

              That’s fair! I’d recommend grabbing some of the featured freelech, even if you don’t want it for yourself, just because it’ll help with your ratio to seed that a few times when the download is free.

              Also, they sent this message out the other day: “Torrents that are at least 40GiB are now automatically added to free leech.” So you could browse by file size, grab some large files and seed those.

    Is there a focus on any specific codecs (i.e. x264, x265/HEVC, AV1) and are there any internal groups? Unique aspects of a tracker are good to know before deciding to join.

      It seems to be a bit more of a generic tracker than most knows ones. Movies, TV, also Games in there.

      Size wise it seems to be close to Aither which is very impressive for such a young tracker.

      What’s unique is lack of, HnR. Only ratio 0.7 required as far as I checked.
