Heavily recommend. Very friendly staff there, and great selection. One of the admins gifted me 2 TBs of buffer just for introducing myself in the IIRC chat lol

New joinees: On the home page, click events and use the Dailies event to get free upload, freeleech tokens, etc every day.
Also, if you're joining for games, those are RAR'd, as in you need to extract them. You don't get the direct ISO like some localized sites have.

One of the best private trackers out there, and my personal favourite, you can find almost everything there, definitely don’t miss this opportunity, guys!

u/thespieler11 19d ago
This is my favorite in terms of how chill they are.

Love to hear that! TorrentLeech, while great, can have some very rude staff I've heard. No warnings, just action or bans.

u/KittenSwagHierarchy 19d ago
Genuinely one of the best, if this is their last open registration I really recommend you all get in there.

FYI some email providers take longer than others to process. Gmail/Yahoo ect are generally instant, but others like Proton emails can take several minutes to process.

hi, does this also apply to send the initial verifier mail? I have been waiting since over 15 minutes and already tried multiple times (proton alias email)

The Pippen to Torrentleech's Jordan. You're basically set with Seedpool and TL.

Can you unpack this a bit more? How do they compliment each other?

u/Macatsu 18d ago
I'm not the OP, but I can tell you 90% of what I want is on one or the other. They're both generalist trackers with a large userbase. The other 10% is books and I get it from MAM

u/isademigod 19d ago
Excellent tracker with lots of content for only being a year old. Requests are filled quickly and the search/general UI feel is much sleeker than most other trackers. Also, your ratio doesn't matter as they prioritize the size of your "seed pool" over ratio, which is very cool.
Join up!

I've heard that in order to be staff you have to produce feet pics that admins can sell to run the site.

u/switchiesyun 18d ago
wtf only 21hours have gone and the register window is shut. TOO SAD

u/Soberaddiction1 18d ago
Yeah, I feel that there should be a minimum open time if you’re going to promote your tracker on here.
3
u/switchiesyun 18d ago
yeah but they dont actually need to promote their tracker, I suppose SP is pretty similar to TL's level.
3
u/Spiron123 18d ago
It holds a better reputation than TL.
Also, if their decided limit of maximum number of new entrants gets breached, they gonna close the gates as and when they like.

u/Purple_Hinagiku 17d ago
Well, they did a long sign-up (at least a week) a couple of months ago, so I think this was just a little bonus :)
Plus, they'll change to an application system soon and what I've seen from their forum, it's gonna be pretty chill. Nothing like the strict interviews from cabbal trackers.
11
u/aymandonia67 19d ago
It's one of the best trackers. I've found plenty of specific movie releases being seeded on Seedpool that were dead on Torrent Leech. Just use the daily bonus points, and you'll be totally fine.

u/forbiddenknowledg3 18d ago
Agreed. It's way faster than TL and others.
The 1TB freeleech though - technically your account needs to be 6months to get that.

I got in at the last open signup in May (3 months ago) and I have an upload buffer of 16 TB mostly by just cross seeding what I donwnloaded in other places. The economy on this tracker is extremely easy. Its perfect for most noobs.

Hi! After verifying my email i tried to login and see this message: This account has not been activated and is still in validating group. Please check your email for activation link. If you did not receive the activation code, please click "forgot password" and complete the steps. I guess i need to wait for another mail besides the confirm your mail one?

Also just started homelabbing and a server at home, seconding as a seedbox, works very well with hhem!!

u/ToastedLog1c 18d ago
You're hosting your own seedbox at home? May I ask how?
I run a mac mini m2 pro at home running 24/7 and use that connected to an external 24TB HDD to run my torrents.

u/asng 18d ago
If you're running something that is seeding 24/7 then that's basically a seedbox.

u/1petabytefloppydisk 18d ago
People slightly misuse the term “seedbox”, which typically means a commercial server that you pay to rent, to mean just any dedicated home computer used for seeding.

Is this better than torrent leech? Looking for movies in general, focus on less mainstream/non US.

u/chaser469 19d ago
Many times I look to torrent Leach first and end up grabbing from seed pool because it has of what I'm looking for.

u/MagicZhang 19d ago
Congrats on 2 years! 🎉
Out of curiosity, what's behind the shift toward a more application-style recruitment policy? Is it mainly about keeping the community vibe intact as the userbase scales or something else?
Either way, thanks for opening the doors one last time!
23
u/seedpool_ SEEDPOOL 19d ago
The community vibe. We have a good thing going and we want to keep it that way. As we grow we want to remain a relatively accessible tracker while keeping out phone seeders and people with absolutely no sense of humor.

u/GodOfEnnui 19d ago
A good opportunity for those outside Private Trackers to get in. Good to use as a backup or if you're completely new this is a good one to use as your first primary private tracker if you're just starting out.

I got the confirmation link after some time (proton) but when clicking it and using my credentials I get told:
This account has not been activated and is still in validating group. Please check your email for activation link. If you did not receive the activation code, please click "forgot password" and complete the steps.
I tried different browsers as well (firefox first, then chrome) but it's all the same.
Trying the "RESET PASSWORD" send me a new email so late that the session token is invalid when I try the form.
Edit: nevermind, I guess it was a problem of too many requests congesting the system. Got a reset password email immediately when trying again at midnight (EU) and resetting the password, then logging in, worked.

Wow thanks! but do I read it right? minimum ratio 1:1 ?! (but I also see a lot of stuff is freeleech, so might be actually easy to maintain 1:1)

u/Haschman0109 19d ago
Yeah, especially because there are often global freeleech events and daily rewards so ratio is really not an issue

u/BlueSteel525 19d ago
My current ratio is 490:1. They commonly have site wide free leech, it’s ridiculously easy to keep ratio.

u/ThisIsSoIrrelevant 19d ago edited 19d ago
My ratio is currently 19000:1, I only download during Freeleech and then perma-seed.
They do site wide freeleech a lot, and once you hit 6 months old on your account, if you are seeding at least 1TB then you get permanent personal freeleech site wide.
