Introduction

Torrent sites – private or otherwise, are used by millions of people around the world. When it comes to torrent communities, the majority of publicly available sites are passive, spammy projects designed to earn developers a sizable income every month. These sites are loaded with malware and adware which can seriously affect a user’s device.

On the contrary, there are private communities that have been created to serve the users. These communities have limited members and are run by donations from members themselves. Thus, there is no adware on these platforms because there are no banner ads. Today, we’re reviewing a well-known private torrent tracker known as HD-Space.

What is HD-Space?

HD-Space is a popular torrent tracker for free indie content such as movies, TV shows, software, animation, music, and porn. Having started its journey nearly 10 years ago, this HD tracker has gained popularity for its cutting-edge encoding system.

Is HD-Space safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which HD-Space 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, HD-Space has a domain score of 4 and a trust score of 31 which is not that impressive. Sure, it’s not uncommon for torrent sites to have a DS less than 15 and a TS less than 40. But given that HD-Space has been on the internet for more than 10 years, it’s disappointing to see that the DS hasn’t surpassed 5 yet.

What should you expect from HD-Space?

There are plenty of reasons that would make you want to become a member of HD-Space. The website offers incredible perks, rewards, content, and more that members can make the most of. Here are some top features of the website.

Bonus Points – Similar to popular private torrent sites, HD-Space offers Bonus points as well. You can receive anywhere between 0.2 to 20 points based on the action. For instance, when you click on the ‘Thank you’ button on torrent, you’ll receive 0.5 points. If you add subtitles, you’ll receive 10 points. You can even receive bonus points for seeding content. If you seed 500 MB – 4 GB of content, you’ll get 0.5 points, if you seed above 25 GB of content, you’ll receive 2.2 points.

Resolution Options – HD-Space allows users to choose from a plethora of resolution options. All the viewable free indie content on the platform is available in various resolutions.

Well-designed Forum – For users looking to find answers related to website issues, a forum goes a long way in helping them. I really like the content bifurcation on the HD-Space forum. Instead of having multiple sections, it has different topics under a single banner such as ‘News’, ‘Tutorials’, ‘Complaints’, ‘Encoding’, ‘Seedboxes’, ‘Software’, ‘Hardware’, ‘Video’, ‘General Club’, ‘International Club’, ‘Polls’ and ‘Recycle Bin’.

Donation Plan – Donation Plan isn’t just a subscription pack where users just get to watch the free indie content. With HD-Space, users get numerous benefits such as ‘Fancy Star’, ‘Upload Credits’, ‘Immunity for Auto Disable – Auto Warning – Hit & Run System’, ‘Tracker Info’, ‘Member profiles’, ‘Extra Stats’, ‘Torrent Requesting’, ‘Unlimited Slots’, ‘24/7 Customer Support’’, and ‘other valuable features’.

As a user, you can choose between five different plans. Each of these plans come with a specific timeframe. An entry-level €10 plan for 30 Days offers +1 invite and 70 GB Upload limit. A mid-tier €50 plan for 200 days offers +3 invites and 350 GB upload limit. Finally, a lifetime plan costs €100 and comes with +8 invites and a 700 GB upload limit. There are two more plans of €25 and €80 sandwiched between the mid and top-tier.

Community Promotion – Every user joins a community as a noob, but as time passes, they move up the ranks. The promotion isn’t based on the time but rather your contribution. Every user on HD-Space starts on ‘HD Spacer’ level and the promotion is as follows – ‘HD Astronaut’, ‘HD Alien’, ‘HD Internal V.I.P.’, ‘Uploader’, ‘Elite Uploader’, ‘Forum Moderator’, and ‘Moderator’.

HD-Space in numbers

HD-Space is a massive community with over 19,000 registered members. It caters to a global audience that loves to download a wide variety of free indie content. With tons of torrents, HD-Space doesn’t just boast quantity but quality as well. It has more than 82,000 seeders and 84,000 peers as opposed to 1638 leechers which depicts the site’s fantastic seed-to-leech ratio.

As per the Alexa rankings, HD-Space is ranked #369,258 which makes it amongst the top 400,000 websites on the internet. It attracts more than 86,000 users a month and an average visit on the site lasts for more than 2.24 minutes. An average user visits 3.82 pages before bouncing off the website. In terms of engagement, HD-Space is not mind-blowing but it does manage to maintain a respectable bounce rate of 43.47%.

How to access HD-Space?

You can access HD-Space by searching for the term ‘hd-space.org’ in your search engine. Alternatively, if you want to access the platform directly, you can use the following link: HD-Space.

Design

HD-Space justifies its name through its galactic website. The tracker looks amazing with a stylish dark theme that’s easy to browse. The main banner has a milky way in the background which is complemented with 3D ‘HD Space’ text. The design is clean and the text stands out in every section due to the dark background.

Header – In the header section of HD-Space, you’ll find six options – ‘Index’, ‘Torrents’, ‘Extras’, ‘Help’, ‘Donations’, and ‘Forum’. By clicking on any of these options, you can access the following page. Under the main header menu, there’s also a secondary header section where you can find account-level functions such as ‘Announcements’, ‘My Panel’, ‘Invites’, ‘Favorites’, ‘Friend List’, and ‘Mailbox’.

Free Indie Content – HD-Space offers users an extensive free indie content library that features a wide range of categories. Most of the torrents on the website are freeleech content and there’s plenty of bonus that can help users maintain a good ratio.

Desktop/Mobile experience

HD-Space offers a seamless browsing and downloading experience on mobile and desktop. I prefer using the site on my desktop and I’m quite impressed with the download speed. Due to the excellent seed-to-leech ratio and internal encoding, you get to download your favorite free indie content in the best quality at a lightning speed.

Suggestions I have for HD-Space

As mentioned in one of the rules above, admin and the mods reserve the right to ban a member without any prior notice. Though that only happens in extreme cases, I don’t feel it’s fair. Thus far, I haven’t read anything negative about this freedom to mods. But it’s better to have a community wherein no single member has absolute power.

Conclusion

HD-Space, even though it has strict guidelines is a quality private tracker. The free indie content library is quite decent and the download speed is amazing. If you do get a chance to become a member, don’t miss it because it can very well be an opportunity of a lifetime.
