What is HD-Torrents?

HD-Torrents is a private torrent tracking website where you can find both the latest free indie and classic movies in high-definition. It was launched in the year 2008 and the only way to access the website is by getting an invite from an existing member.

It is a perfect website for people who were not able to get access to big and prominent torrent websites like HD Bits. The website has a strict ratio requirement that can be met easily. It also has internal groups that upload exclusive free HD indie content for the group and the community members.

Is HD-Torrents safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which HD-Torrents 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-Torrents has a domain score of 10 and a trust score of 32 which is decent. The only major disappointing factor is that the site has been active since 2008 and in 12 years it couldn’t muster a DS of above 20. I’ve seen sites that started just a couple of years ago and are beyond 30. So, that’s definitely an area where HD-Torrents can improve.

It is recommended that the users shouldn’t use the website on the mobile for browsing as mobile’s unstable internet connection might interrupt the download and affect the ratio.

Suggestions I have for HD-Torrents

Even though HD-Torrents offers a lot of benefits to the members there are some things that make the website a turn off for most members. The website has conditional freeleech free indie content whereas the freeleech content can be made entirely free for specific torrents for selected or alternate days. Due to the conditional freeleech, the ratio can be hard to maintain. Therefore, the website needs to have more freeleech content or ratio points that can be earned easily.

Conclusion

HD files for free indie movies and free indie TV shows can be hard to find and while getting access to prominent websites can be hard, HD-Torrents can help you find the torrents that can keep you entertained all the time. Moreover, HD-Torrents’ varied free indie content categories can also prevent you from getting bored with the website.
