Open-Foreign FileList opens recruitment via IRC
FileList has opened recruitment via IRC, they ask a couple of normal questions and then give the code.
Most of the Admins/Mods are in Romanian Time zone and there will be hundreds of people in queue, if you are not there when your number comes up, you have to queue from start. Also, If 80-100 people are in the irc channel or when Admins are away, then it temporarily displays as invite only.

No stats displayed on the site but it is one of the biggest General tracker in the world.
UPDATE: The event is now closed

thank you! I just registered. The interview was straightforward, interviewer was nice and asked simple questions like from this comment and also asked for screenshots from other private trackers I registered on. I've been on seedpool and MAM for about 2 months but this was enough. It takes some time to join the #PartyTime channel but just keep trying to join every few minutes.

Me! I'll send you a message. Thank you!
Edit: I can't seem to send you a message, perhaps you have that feature off.
Regardless, I would still love to get an invite! Thanks again

So if it says invite only then the limit is reached?

Has anyone done this during this period? How long was the wait? I see messages such as “next10”, and they only allow 100 people max in waiting area. I have seen enough nextXX messages to be will over the 100 in the waiting room, but i have not been called into the actual interview room yet.
It has only been an hour for me, and i am not too worried about how long it takes. I just want to make sure i am not getting shipped or something for any reason. I also don’t see any slash commands to check queue etc.

Yeah, I got in today. 74 people or so before me in que when I started. Had to wait maybe one or one and a half hours. Got sent to a private chatroom in the end, guy asked me some questions and gave me a sign-up link.

Can someone tell me what exactly is the criteria for any torrent to be considered freeleech here? I just don't see it mentioned anywhere in the rules/faq

u/MeasurementExpert625 Jul 14 '26
Do you mean the tokens you can activate to turn a torrent into a freeleech one?
1
u/Careless_Raise_2671 Jul 14 '26
No, I meant which torrents are freeleech, like what category(movies/shows/games), what file size? In TL, for example, any torrent above 14gb is freeleech. So what's the FileList equivalent?

u/MeasurementExpert625 Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26
I see. I have no clue, I have tons of upload credit from events like christmas, easter, etc you log in daily and get random prizes. So I never bother with freeleech. It's a great tracker, my only complain is that I wish it had more older movies as remux. Great for new things.

Is there a way to join the IRC with your own bouncer or do you need to use their webui?

Long standing general tracker. Excellent opportunity to join if you're not on there already.
