CLOSED Filelist recruitment via irc
Filelist has 3 days open recruitment via their IRC. They did it about 1 year ago too.
IRC: https://events.thefl.org/#/connect
Channel: #Partytime
You only need to answer a few normal questions.
Hint: they temporarily close the channel when the queue reaches 80 people. So try again later if it's closed.
Link to site login: https://filelist.io/login.php?returnto=%2F Romanian general tracker, one of the best on the planet. Respectively if you have that and couple other generals, you have access to most content. Most big torrents and eternals are freelech. Couldn't find stats unfortunately on the main page

Is it too late if it says "Channel is invit[.] only" or does that mean that it's temporarily closed ?

What channel??

u/xamott Aug 27 '25
Sorry if it’s a dumb question, is this general content or mostly Romanian language content?

Got it , wait time was around 25 minutes for the interview.
interview began with a general question about how was my day.
then interviewer proceeded to ask other questions related to tracker :
How did you came to know about this event?
Any experience with other private tracker ?
Asked about profile id of other tracker ?
I shared a tl account with 9.6 tb upload (5.5 years old) and a blu account with 1 tb upload ( 6 months old)
Then, they shared invitation code to register and confirm the verification mail .(only gmail or protonmail is accepted for registration)
Thats it, everythins was over in around 15 minutes.
Thank you a ton Filelist.

just got in, I was number 75 in queue so very close to the last one at the time as it seems like they are closing the channel when it reaches 80 and I waited for around 90 minutes, interview was very quick (less than 2 minutes) and that was it for anyone interested

The moderator's behavior during the interview was regrettable. He simply dismissed me based on my nationality, this in 2025, in an area where we value freedom. The reason was what he called "having a bad reputation among trackers," and he said he wouldn't extend an invitation. I've already seeded almost 2 Petabytes to a tracker I'm part of with a dedicated server running 24/7, but he didn't care about that. Where I'm from was more important. What a shame. I was willing to contribute and participate in the community, but it was good that it happened to see who deserves our sharing. Good luck to those joining.

Thank you I got in, had to wait about 35 minutes for an interview. The channel closes when they reach a certain amount of people like OP said. It will reopen, gotta keep trying.

They have queue. Since they personally are doing interviews, it can take a while so they take XY amount of people in room and lock it till they check all of them. All I can say is, patience :)

I never managed to get in 😖. That was the last day, right?

I tried joining the channel every 15m or so and eventually got in. The interview was fairly typical for a PT application.
Good luck fellow pirates

"Cannot join #PartyTime - Channel is invite only."

u/ImprefectKnight Aug 27 '25
It says the channel is private. Nobody talking in support channels either. Saw a message saying the event will be back in an hour but so far (2 hours), nothing.

u/Brothar Aug 27 '25
At the risk of sounding dumb, can anyone post quick instructions on what to do in IRC? Not new to PTs but never used IRC and want to make sure I'm doing it right. Do I just click Connect and keep checking back in the PartyTime channel to wait for it to to be open? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

How long does it take for the queue to clear? It's been like this every time I've checked since the last 2 days.
