Last year I’ve introduced a very good software called Tracker Checker that is able to automatically check private BitTorrent tracker site for registration openings. This tool will sit in your traybar and automatically do its job at every predefined time. When there’s an opening, a popup will appear informing you that you can sign up. However, there are limitation on that program. When the program is checking for registration opening, the interface will hang and you can’t do much about it other than waiting for it to complete checking all the sites. Another thing is you can’t add/delete/edit the sites from the program.

The latest version of Tracker Checker 2 is released! This is your chance to get to sign up for a Demonoid, TorrentLeech or OiNK account.

Sign up Demonoid, Sign up OiNK, Sign up TorrentLeech
This new version of Tracker Checker 2 fixes both the problems I mentioned above. It does not hang when it is checking for registration openings and also you’re able to add/delete/edit bittorrent tracker sites from the program without manually messing with the XML file.

Unfortunately, the latest version of Tracker Checker no longer include the tracker list. It’s not really that easy to maintain the tracker list because you need to know the exact keyword / string that will appear on signup.php page. TorrentFreak has pointed out that PyroniC from P2P Forums has a modified trackers.xml that contains around 70 bittorrent tracker sites. I’ve tried it and the tracker list is not 100% working because Demonoid is giving false information. It says that it is open for signup but when I visit demonoid, the signup is closed. Well, a non 100% working trackers.xml is better than nothing. For those that doesn’t work, you can just uncheck it or delete it from the list.

Update: Tracker Checker website now offers tracker list. It is the same as the one from PyroniC.
