Tracker Description :

baconBits is the unofficial Reddit private tracker. On December 25th 2009, a discussion led to the idea that Reddit should have it's own tracker which led to it's creation the next day. The original announcement of it's creation was posted on /r/geek and can still be found here. Interviews are available to those who have had a Reddit account for a minimum of 6 months with at least 350 comment karma, if you don't meet these requirements then a user can signup with an invite. baconBits is a relatively small tracker with only 6000 members however it's forums and IRC are active and it's community will feel very familiar if you visit Reddit often.

The tracker has a good selection of content with alot of variety. It indexes films, tv shows, anime, music, ebooks, audiobooks, e-learning videos, games, comics, magazines, software and more. The tracker also offers the user the opportunity to submit a request should they not be able to find what they're looking for. Users are offered the incentive of a bounty which rewards a certain amount of upload when filling a request which means requests are filles rather quickly. The pretimes however aren't great. For example, "Hell on Wheels S04E06" was only uploaded 6hrs ago at the time of writing this review compared to 19hrs ago on IPT.

Originally the tracker was not ratio-based but that has since changed and users are now allocated a level based on how much they have downloaded as seen below:

0GB - 5GB None

5GB - 10GB 0.15

10GB - 20GB 0.20

20GB - 30GB 0.30

30GB - 40GB 0.40

40GB - 50GB 0.50

50GB+ 0.60

Keeping a ratio on baconBits is easy providing you only download freeleech torrents at first. Users can also increase their ratio by uploading content and filling requests. Uploading is a very easy way to increase your ration as you'll usually find that a few people start leeching within a few minutes of it being submitted. Bonus points are awarded for seeding torrents and you can also earn bonus points by competing in contests given on the forum. These bonus points then allow you to buy upload, invites, 'freeleechize' torrents for 24 hours.

Tracker Features:

Freeleech - All torrents over 20GB are set to freelech automatically. Users may turn torrents into freeleech for 24hrs for 20,000 bouns points.

Bonus system - On bp you receive bonus points for seeding a torrent even if no one downloads from you. Bonus points may then be spent in the exchange for upload credit and more. See the bonus system section for everything you can buy.

Requests - Users are given an incentive to fill requests in the form of a bounty supplied in upload credit.

Advanced search - There is a choice between a basic search and an advanced search. Options include bitrate, format, file list, author, ISBN, year, scene etc.

Knowledge base - There is a well written knowledge base that not only provides a lot of information about the tracker, torrents, IRC and transcoding.

Tools - The baconBits community have created various tools to make uploading easier. For example, "Pythonbits" and "Csharpbits" grab screenshots from a selected video file, gather information from IMDB and then formats everything so it's ready to post.
