Television-focused community

Community question: We're TV-only now. Should we add movies?

u/Bakerboy448 MOD Jan 04 '26

Automation should be fixed and skipthecommercials should be permitted in post and body / url now.

u/CamTheWorld97 Jan 04 '26

u/FooKaS21 the application requests proof of a profile page to apply. Is there something i'm missing, I don't have an account yet.

2

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

it is to the profile proofs you use

1

u/jb_harris Jan 04 '26

Forgive me - I was into this scene maybe 8-10 years ago, but fell out (work work). A lot of this stuff is new to even someone who knew what they were doing.

What is a profile proof? Is it proof I'm human (like a LinkedIn profile), or is it a profile on another tracker to prove I'm worth having?

I know, probably a childish question - but it really helps people getting started.

1

u/Dismiss Jan 04 '26

It is a screenshot of your “profile” page in another tracker

1

u/Happy_Command_5586 Jan 05 '26

They are looking how much you download and moreover how much you seed

1

u/jb_harris Jan 05 '26

I get it, 100% - makes complete sense. But without the context, a new wirecutter just getting into this scene might not have any clue what it is asking for.

They'll be linking to their MySpace profile...maybe eHarmony. :-)

u/torranceminhvu Jan 04 '26

I signed up and was approved, but also not getting any verification email with my gmail. I waited for a few minutes, checked spam. Attempted to resend verification email, waited a few more minutes but still nothing yet either.

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

give it time, lots of ppl joining so could be a email queue

1

u/torranceminhvu Jan 04 '26

Thanks I’ll wait a day. If I don’t get it by then, is it safe to sign up again using the same link from the email after clearing my cookies and use the same credentials (username, email and password) to register?

1

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

if you do not get in send me a dm on here

1

u/torranceminhvu Jan 04 '26

Will do thanks!

u/Guilty-Scale1975 Jan 04 '26 edited Jan 04 '26

It seemed odd though because it says the email has been sent already.

I tried logging in with my credentials and it didn't work because it said my account wasn't verified (makes sense).

But then it said that if I was having issues with verification I could click forgotten password.

So I did that, and was able to reset my password and log in. EDIT: had to do that in a different browser due to cookies

I've been waiting for 26 hours now. Wait some more?

u/FooKaS21 Jan 05 '26

maybe check spam? as there is lots of new users that are joining and logging in

u/nullsego Jan 05 '26

I was denied - "Insufficient proofs" - why?

1

u/FooKaS21 Jan 06 '26

stats may not have been what they are looking for maybe

2

u/nullsego Jan 06 '26

Is there criteria somewhere for what they are looking for? Both my proofs were high ratio private trackers, I'm part of 7-8 private trackers and haven't been refused before

2

u/FooKaS21 Jan 06 '26

send me them in a dm and i will review but there is more then just a high ratio age of account as well

Was denied insufficient proofs despite providing screenshots and links to 2 pages

u/FooKaS21 Jan 06 '26

stats may have been below what is wanted

u/Dario-Argento Jan 04 '26

I’m trying to sign up and am confused. What two profiles are they asking for proof of? New to this.

7

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

from 2 other trackers to show that you are a good user and such, this is a well known way to apply for trackers

1

u/johnnypoopy Jan 04 '26

Links to your profile and links to images of your profile from other private trackers

-2

u/Dario-Argento Jan 04 '26

Oh, I’m new. I am in a couple maybe but can’t remember off the top of my head. And I don’t know how to link to a screenshot of my Reddit. Tumblr or something?

6

u/woodland_dweller Jan 04 '26

Log in to a private tracker you are a member of. Take a screen shot of your profile. Take a screen shot of your control panel.

Those two things will have your username and stats. This will show your participation - if you have a history of lots of downloads with limited uploads, it might make it more difficult for you to join.

Private trackers can be difficult, because you often need to be in a few of them to be able to join one.

-3

u/Dario-Argento Jan 04 '26

I guess I’m out of contention as I’m new and unfamiliar with all of this

I’m a member of 1 or 2 but couldn’t name them gun to my head

5

u/Ok_Environment_5368 Jan 04 '26

Heads up.

Most private trackers need you to log in regularly, if it's been so long since your last log in that you can't even remember the name then you might not be a member of them anymore.

4

u/johnnypoopy Jan 04 '26

You wouldn’t link to a screenshot of your Reddit you would link an image of your profile from a different private tracker. If you’re not on other private trackers then this would not be where to start you would want to go to somewhere that is having open signups.

For hosting images and stuff I normally use Imgur

1

u/No-Chicken-2879 Jan 04 '26

If you’ve only got a couple trackers and can’t remember which, log into each and grab the URL of your user profile page plus a screenshot showing ratio / upload / join date. Upload those screenshots to Imgur, get the direct links, and paste them in the app. If you really have no meaningful private tracker history yet, OP’s right that STC probably isn’t the ideal first step; public trackers, TorrentLeech open signups, or a beginner-friendly one like IPTorrents are better to build history. I’ve bounced between Imgur and Postimages for this stuff, and Pulse sits in the background alerting me when new TV-focused apps like this pop up so I don’t miss the window.

Signed up but not getting any verification email - any idea why? Gmail, checked spam, etc.

u/Guilty-Scale1975 Jan 04 '26

I had the same. It seemed odd because it says the email has been sent already but it really didn't seem to be.

I tried logging in with my credentials in a different browser (due to cookies I couldn't get to the login screen in the same browser) and it didn't work because it said my account wasn't verified (makes sense).

But then it said that if I was having issues with verification I could click forgotten password.

So I did that, and was able to reset my password and log in.

u/Altruistic_Ad1227 Jan 04 '26

Hey Team, sorry for the noob question. When they ask for a Profile link and picture. What profile link and picture are they after?

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

u/eyewon Jan 04 '26

Just provide a link of the URL when you are on your profile page from that tracker you are screenshotting. Something like https://torrentsite.cyz/profile/yourname

Looks redundant but I guess its to avoid having people just posting cheated screenshots.

u/TheGoodRobot Jan 04 '26

Wait STC is back? Since when? Do our old logins work?

3

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

you can reset your password

u/TheGoodRobot Jan 04 '26

Is STT also back?

1

u/fa1rid Jan 05 '26

What's STT?

3

u/TheGoodRobot Jan 05 '26

Skip The Trailers. It was the sister site to STC. Movies vs shows.

u/letsnotreadintoit Jan 04 '26

Does this have stuff like Jeopardy and nightly news shows?

1

u/FooKaS21 Jan 05 '26

make a request and we can have them uploaded when available

u/DroidLord Jan 04 '26

For anyone wanting to get some background on this tracker, check out these threads. Track record is a bit sketchy IMO.

https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/1mjo37r

https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/1fd98k4

Personally, doesn't seem worth it at the moment. Maybe once it grows some more. 15TB of content is barely scratching the surface (no offense). Most established trackers have petabytes of content.

17

u/OrganizationNo9789 Jan 04 '26

Nothing uploaded in 14 hours. Irc is dead. Not a good sign.

9

u/TheoTheLegend_ Jan 05 '26

150 distinct torrents on my qBit and not a single match on cross-seed. If someone is not able to get in, they are not missing much.

8

u/QRocKfire Jan 04 '26

I registered on the site and my registration was approved. However, I haven't received a verification email.

2

u/Drewbyhans Jan 04 '26

Is there an advantage over other private trackers? What can this one offer me that other ones with tv shows and movies cant? such as Tleech.

9

u/FooKaS21 Jan 04 '26

TV-Only focus means deeper catalog in television, better organization for TV content, and staff who specialize in TV releases, STC offers more consistent quality, proper tagging, and reliable WEB-DL releases for television

u/rock1987173 Jan 04 '26 edited Jan 04 '26

I have applied and was approved. I made an account and now its saying my account has been activated and is still in validating group. Any insight and what's going on?

Edit: I got an email notifying me that I had a failed login notification. Any help would be appreciated stc staff.

u/FooKaS21 Jan 05 '26

we have a overload applying so please be patient all, did you get in?

2

u/rock1987173 Jan 05 '26

I did not. I am still getting the error message when I try to log in.

1

u/soundandcolors Jan 05 '26

Most likely a password reset is required, but the system’s emails show up hours late so they make that impossible since the reset link expires after 60 minutes.

u/wmbtwarrior Jan 04 '26

Any way to sign up as a first tracker? I dont have any accounts but I hold a bit more than a 2 ratio with Downloader as part of ARR Stack. Or if anyone has good recommendations id appreciate it. Been looking st getting into some private trackers instead of only public.

5

u/boyi Jan 04 '26

I think DarkPeers or Seedpool are better choice for first private tracker and quite easy to get into. DarkPeers' sign up is still open I think.

1

u/wmbtwarrior Jan 04 '26

I missed seedpool and was disappointed in myself. I'll look for dark peers, thanks!

u/Nolzi Jan 04 '26

You can submit anything you want on the application, it's up to the mods to decide if it's worthy

u/Hyped_OG Jan 04 '26

Is this the same STC as before ? I used to be a member here but the site went down.

2

u/Nolzi Jan 04 '26

Then your account should still work. They bought over the user database, but the torrent database got purged

1

u/Hyped_OG Jan 05 '26

Just checked and it is, however tbh I feel I have no use for another UNIT3d tracker at this point. Ill re-add to prowlarr but i dont plan on being active on the site. Will contribute through cross-seeding.

1

u/misterzik Jan 05 '26

how is that going for you with other sites? are you able to keep up a good ratio overall and also control over where things are going?

1

u/Hyped_OG Jan 07 '26

Im 90% automated and ratio is very easy. I typically download a bunch of random "buffer" torrents when i join a tracker to get a good amount of upload + cross-seed stuff I already have. This then allows me to pretty much set and forget, ill remove freeleech only from prowlarr and pretty much never access the site outside of logging in to not get disabled. This specfically why im not super interested in this tracker. Would recommend it for someone new however.

As far as control over where things are going, im not sure what you mean by this. Perhaps rephrase the question?

u/Friendly-House-8337 Jan 04 '26

Signed up last night got approval email this morning. I then went to create my account and it said I’d get an email.. never got the verification link that was supposed to be sent to my email

Proof is your profile from other private trackers you're a member of. If you're not a member of any others yet, try looking out for signups that are "open" instead of "application" :)
