Background

hawke-uno (better known as HUNO) is an HEVC-focused private tracker built as part of the wider hawke-one (aka HONE) community and ecosystem of entertainment services.

Cyber Honeday is upon us and so for about 36 hours, the HUNO tracker will be in Global FL mode while openly accepting new signups. HEVC-enthusiasts, aspiring uploaders, experienced moderators, and community lovers are especially welcome. ​

Post copied from STT news

Hi everyone

Its with a heavy heart that i make this announcement that STT will be closing, with everything that has been going on with me in my personal life and other things for me recently i have made this tough decision.

I want to thank all you for making STT a great place to meet new friends and for building such a great community for grabbing new and old movies.

i will miss this, perhaps in the future we can bring it back when im under better circumstances and can spend more time on the operation of the site, in the meantime i just feel encoding and uploading is enough for me at this time.

I havent decided yet when the site will finally go offline, but will be soon, in the next week or so is my best estimate

For tv content STC will still be your #1 choice and hope you continue to support us there

For those of you interested i will still be contributing my movie content on Swarmazon and i have also spoke to the

HUNO - OPEN SIGNUPS In celebration of the hawke-one community turning 5 years old this month, we're opening up signups to HUNO for the weekend! Despite the popular belief prevalent in PT circles of open signups being bad, they're actually an effective tool to scale a diverse community if done the right way. They've brought the best community members into our wider ecosystem with further checks in place within our tier-based...

Initial reaction from one of the main admins was that if in 12 hours there had been no news they'd nuke the servers, seems like they're not gonna do it anymore. Many domains registered by one admin were seized at the same time, so might not even be aimed at the tracker. Waiting for more news.

Update: Looks like the DNS registrar itself was the one that went down and took lots of sites with it, TorrentFreak article: 100s of Pirate Sites Go Dark as .TV Domains Placed on ServerHold - TorrentFreak

Bad news - another case of a missing admin with the only keys to stuff.

From a reddit post:

Just seen this on IRC:

"the TLDR is basically: Best case, site comes back up we continue and change things in the backend, okay case, site is down for a little bit while we rebuild backend with likely a new domain, and worst case we close out and refugee you all elsewhere (we might still do this last part too hook up the community even if we are working on the backend"

ETA: IRC admin wrote "I'm currently trying to set up a place where refugees can go to"

ETA2: As far as I understand, someone went away and I quote "without the return of (this person), AR's continued existence is up in the air, we are attempting to work on solutions but he unfortunately seemed to hold more keys to the castle than we were fully aware."

TL has been returning 1004 errors all day, however their staff are aware of this looking at a discussion thread on a certain site.

Hopefully it gets fixed soon - posted here just in case others are having issues with the site and its mirrors

Break out your drumsticks, it's our 7th Birthday! During the year, we passed over 1.5 million unique releases on Redacted. This wouldn't be possible without you, our amazing users. As such we'd like to do something special to round out this year. To kick off our Birthday Celebration, torrents with 3 or fewer seeds have been marked freeload. After meticulous analysis and careful consideration, Staff has also selected an additional set of torrents we know you're going to love. To clear up confusion, the seed count of the latter category was irrelevant to the selection. All these torrents will be freeload through the end of the year (Ending January 6th 23:59 UTC). As a reminder, all freeload torrents can be found here, and users who were seeding such torrents within the last week will still receive credit for their upload during the event.

Freeload Tweaks:

Earlier this month, in preparation for this event, we deployed a tracker change to prioritize freeload seeders. Now, when you

Disclaimer: We've been getting a lot of basic questions about trackers so this is just a primer for people wanting to see what it's all about. Skip if you are already well versed with trackers, unless you want to read just to contribute or correct me on anything.

What is a private tracker?

Let's start with what it isn't. Chances are you are familiar with infamous torrent trackers such as The Pirate Bay and 1337x. These trackers are what's known as public trackers. "Public" means anyone can visit them and download whatever they want to their heart's content. This is all fine and dandy, but it does introduce some problems.

• While you are downloading your file, you are known as a leecher. Once the download is finished, you become a seeder, which means you are done but will continue to upload the data you just downloaded to other downloaders who come along after you. The problem here is that on public trackers, most users stop the torrent, remove it, or close the BitTo
