BtNext

Introduction

There are different types of torrent websites that cater to different kinds of audiences around the world. They can be broadly categorized as worldwide websites, regional websites, and country-specific websites. The goal and content of each of these websites can be different and sometimes based on the type of audience they cater to.

BTNext is a country-specific website that primarily caters to the audience of Portugal but can be accessed by people from all over the world.

What is BTNext?

BTNext is a private Portuguese tracker website that offers great free indie content. The website is private and can’t be accessed by users unless they have got an invite from the existing members.

If you wish to enter the website, you can get an invite by donation or by requesting it via email to the website’s developers.

History of BTNext

The website was launched somewhere around the year 2007 and has been up and running ever since. Similar to other tracker websites BTNext also closed its open membership after reaching the maximum user limit. It is also a ratio-based website and if you are unable to maintain the ratio your account will be deleted.

Is BTNext safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which BTNext does have. By using tools such as SEOQuake and MOZ, you can easily check the credibility of a website by gauging Domain Score (DS) and Trust Score (TS). Based on my research, BTNext has a domain score of 8 and a trust score of 31 which is underwhelming. It’s not uncommon for torrent sites to have a DS less than 15 and a TS less than 40. However, given that the site was launched in 2015 and still hasn’t managed to surpass a DS of 10 is fairly disappointing.

What should you expect from BTNext?

BTNext provides amazing content and benefits to its members. Here are some of the many great things that you can expect from BTNext.

Latest Free Indie Content – BTNext’s active community members and strict ratio guidelines have played a key role in keeping the website’s free indie content updated. However, you need to keep your ratio in mind while downloading free indie content from the website.

Diverse Categories – You can get a fair idea of the content diversity on BTNext by looking at the number of torrent categories on the website. The website has seven major categories. These categories are further broken down into the subcategories.

Subtitles – It can be difficult to watch foreign movies without having subtitles. Especially if it is one of the latest free indie movies or free indie TV shows of the time. BTNext’s huge torrent community also works towards gathering and uploading subtitles from different websites, for other community members on the website. Most of the subtitles of the website are uploaded in Portuguese and indigenous Brazilian languages.

Ranks and benefits – If you manage to maintain a good upload and download ratio, you can then focus on increasing your rank on the website.

These users are not allowed to post requests or send invitations. The highest rank of the website is that of the ‘Administrator’ who has the power to control and moderate each and everything on the website.

To return the favor, the websites offer different benefits that act as an upgrade from normal users. BTNext too offers such benefits to the members who offer donations for the website. The minimum donation amount is $5, and the members can get benefits like Gold membership for 30 days, 5GB sent, and unlimited torrent downloads.

Design

BTNext has a cool design with readable text and minimal images. The website has links, buttons, and checkboxes that can be used for navigation. The color palate of the font on the website circles between black, white, and red.

To make the website more attractive the developers have inserted icons on different pages. BTNext’s low image and more content layout make the website load faster on any device.

Free Indie Content – There is endless free indie content available on the BTNext website. You will not only find different types of free indie content on the website but also the different qualities options on it.

Desktop/Mobile experience

BTNext works really well on desktops and laptops as the content is visible clearly and the tables fit according to the aspect ratio. The desktop version is also easier to navigate and loads faster as compared to the mobile version.

The mobile version of BTNext is just a shrunken version of the desktop version. When accessed through a mobile the website opens relatively slowly and has to be zoomed into the links to reach the inner pages.

Since mobiles hardly support seedboxes, using the website too frequently from the phone can lower your ratio leading to banning of the account.

Suggestions I have for BTNext

BTNext is a good website with amazing functionalities but with some improvements, it can get better. The website can tune down its stringent ratio guidelines and add a header to the home page. BTNext can also utilize the space by replacing the images on the homepage section with better functionalities.

Conclusion

BTNext is a great option or you can say, a lifesaver for the people of the Portuguese region. The website could have included other different languages to cater to a larger audience and increase the number of visitors on the website.
