Use this instead. Usually has multiple different feeds with different commentary language so you can get an English language feed.

It's back!!!

Although no longer as Racing Underground, rather as Racing For Me. Those who are members should have an email and those who aren't members better get their shit together and sign up fast before it's they close the doors to new members again.

Btw, if anyone has trouble resetting their password just wait for an hour or so and your temp password will work (shame they didn't fix that particular problem).

Maybe they only want the good ones back??

Quite a few of the main contributors/uploaders have left the site (hopefully just Formula 1 fan bois) but it looks like lenscap/pitcrew is still there and that's all that matters to me. He's the man for MotoGP and WSBK torrents.

You just broke the first rule of racing underground. :facepalm:
You should remove that URL ASAP. The only reason sites like this are able to operate is that the site url does not get posted up on public forums etc so it becomes is not a publicly known site and therefore harder to find for the authorities. if you need to send the url, do it in a PM.

I actually messed it up and pasted the full url. I was meant to fiddle it so that it wouldn't show up in google. Keeping the url secret doesn't keep the RIAA etc out, it just stops all the people that google for the site out. Restricted membership is the only way to keep the RIAA etc out.

Excellent! You still need an invite code if you are a new member anyways.

I think you might be right , they are slashing the user list ...

they do that if your seeder/leecher ratio is too low: basically if you're like me and just hit it and run then they dont want you. (I can see why, but NZ internets are so expensive and so slow that its hard to up the ratio)

I'm curious as to how many people on here have uploaded more than they have downloaded?

It's pretty hard with keep your ratios up with slow upload speeds and datacaps on a private membership site. I have a fairly large datacap and can barely keep my ratio above .25.

Probably only people using overseas hosted seed boxes. Then it's very very easy.

Superseeds has a 0.8 ratio!!! Besides which I get really pissed off with everything having downloaded from superseeds stuck on the front.

I've never had a problem with ratios on Racing Underground. Probably cos I've been a member there for so long the ratio requirement doesn't apply.

I tried to get good ratios once, set up an rss downloader so I would start downloading and uploading the instant things came out. Was still pretty rare for me to get above 0.25 on a torrent.
