How do you track when trackers are open for signup?

[itashi]

I use 

Opentrackers.org - Private Torrent Trackers & File Sharing

OPENTRACKERS.ORG

but sometimes I forget to check it and miss an opportunity. do you have a way to get notified for a specific tracker?

InviteHawk has much more information than OpentrackersOrg! 

1. Go to "Open Signups" thread https://www.invitehawk.com/forum/44-open-signups/
2. hit "follow"
3. now you will get notification every time somebody posts about open signup

thanks @falconer i did not know that

@itashi  There's a separate thread about DDL (direct download forums) or Usenet sites (such as DrunkenSlug) open for a limited time as well.

Trackers open on a schedule:

And trackers that are open most of the time:

Thus, "Open Signups" thread lists only trackers that are really "spontaneously" opened, and avoids any dupes.

1) By checking open signup section

2) daily visiting the tracker

Thanks for the info!

I know that some trackers also use Discord channels to announce when they are opening signups after a purge of dead accounts.

I'm subscribed to a couple that are known to only open signups for a couple of hours at a time

For me Reddit and I just subscribe the Reddit groups that announce that stuff.

Otherwise if you want to DIY, then this is interesting: 

GitHub - NDDDDDDDDD/TrackerChecker: Just a really simple program that checks if normally private trackers are open to registration. Feedback and tracker recommendations are very much appreciated!
