When you want to download Movies, TV Shows, Music or any sort of file with BitTorrent then you need to download a torrent file which can be found on a range of BitTorrent trackers.
Technically bittorrent trackers are just the server that coordinates the transfer of files and the server that hosts the torrent files is merely a bittorrent index.
Many sites operate simply as an index of torrents that use another tracker. Others operate as a true tracker and host the actually torrent files on their servers. Whilst technically these are two different types of sites the term bittorrent tracker for most people though covers all bittorrent trackers and bittorrent indexes.
When you looking for torrent files there are three separate types of BitTorrent trackers and sites that you can utilise. Each of these types of BitTorrent trackers have their own advantage and disadvantages and it is important that you understand it if you want to get the best experience.
Public BitTorrent trackers are websites open to anybody. They have a substantial store of old and new torrents. No matter what you are looking for chances are you can find it in one of these sites.
Membership BitTorrent tracker sites require you to be a member to access their sites. They specialise in the very latest Movies, Music, TV Shows and Applications.
When you just cant find the files you are looking for no matter where you look then the BitTorrent Search Engines are worth their weight in gold.
