Introduction

Torrent websites are the easiest way to download or stream the latest free indie content. There are numerous options available when it comes to torrent download but finding a website that ensures everything you download is of high definition is rare. If you have been looking for a website like that lately we have just the website for you i.e.  HD4Fans.

What is HD4Fans?

HD4Fans is a small Chinese tracker website that has a considerable amount of downloadable torrents of free indie movies, TV shows, and documentaries. It is a private website and can be accessed by registered or invited members of the community. It has an easy to maintain ratio process as there are many freeleech, double upload, and half download torrents on the website.

History of HD4Fans

There is very little information on the launch date of the website but seeing the upload year of the oldest torrent, it can be derived that the website is older than 2012. It has a decent amount of users on the website that are from different parts of the world.

Is HD4Fans safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which HD4Fans 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, HD4Fans has a domain score of 11 and a trust score of 31 which is not that positive. It’s common for torrent sites to have a DS less than 15 and a TS less than 40. However, it’s been 6 years since the launch of this site, and given that it hasn’t managed to establish itself in the eyes of the search engine is slightly underwhelming.

What should you expect from the HD4Fans?

The website is very strict in terms of community conduct and if you are kicked by the system, there is a fair chance that your invitee may get kicked too. Apart from the rules and compliance, there are many things that you can benefit from, here are some of them:

Quality free indie content library: HD4Fans is a very small website when compared to other Chinese tracking websites like HD Upxin. However, this is one of the things that the devs and sys ops of HD4Fans use to their advantage. A low number of members means a moderate number of uploads that can be checked and approved/rejected. This enables the portal to provide good quality content to its team members.

Free indie content diversity – Apart from offering high-quality torrent downloads, the website offers a huge variety of free indie content that can keep you entertained for quite a long time. HD4Fans accepts torrent uploads in both English and Chinese. This enables you to choose from a wide range of free indie English and Chinese movies and TV shows to watch.

Bonus system – The website has an interesting bonus point system known as the ‘Karma’ system.  The system allows you to earn points by seeding torrents. Moreover, seeding for lesser-seeded and large size torrents can get you more points. You can also earn points by donating your points to most needy profiles and after every donation, you earn 2x points for every seeding. Other ways of earning points are by uploading a new torrent, uploading a subtitle, starting a topic in the forum, making a post, and more.

Ranks – The website has different ranks that are granted to the user based on his or her contribution to the community. These ranks grant perks to the users that they can use/redeem while using the website. The lowest rank on the website is the ‘Peasant’, it is basically a demotion given to a profile most commonly due to non-maintenance of ratio.  If the ratio is not improved over time, the profile is deleted and the user will have to get a new invite.

The highest rank is granted to the ‘Staff Leader’ who controls the website and is practically able to do anything from deletion of profiles to revoking them, from sending invites to accepting them and from adding a torrent to deleting it.

Forums – HD4Fans are very much focused on building a community too. Therefore the website rewards forum participation by giving points to members who start a topic in the forums. HD4Fans has a supportive member base comprising people who are always ready to participate in different conversations and reach out/connect to their fellow members in need.  You can ask different questions, share a suggestion, or report a problem on the website.

HD4Fans in numbers

HD4Fans is built on the same platform as HD Upxin. Powered by NexusPHP, HD4Fans manages to attract nearly 200,000 visitors per month. It has a small community of 6,800 members and in total it provides them with more than 8,000 torrent files. Due to the internal encode team BeAst, it sports a good encode which facilitates easy ratio maintenance.

You can check the Alexa ranking for any site to understand their popularity on the internet. As per those rankings, HD4Fans is ranked at #28,780 which makes it amongst the top 30,000 websites on the internet. It attracts more than 190,000 users a month and that number makes it among the top Chinese torrent tracker sites in the world.

How to access HD4Fans?

You can access HD4Fans by searching for the term ‘HD4Fans’ in your search engine. Alternatively, if you want to access the platform directly, you can use the following link: HD4Fans.

Design

HD4Fans has a very simplistic and minimum design that enables the website to perform well. Its text-heavy composition enables it to load quicker on any device. The entire website has three main colors i.e. white (Background), Black (Lines and font), and Orange (Headers and Headings). The website has links, buttons, drop-downs, scrollers, and search boxes that make navigation easier.

Header – The header of HD4Fans has a simple layout with options/buttons that can take you to the inner pages. Here are some of the options, ‘Home’,’Forums’, ‘Torrents’, ‘Offers’, ‘Uploads’, ‘subtitles’, ‘User CP’, ‘Top 10’, ‘Log’,’Rules’, ‘FAQ’ and ‘Staff’.

Inner Pages – The inner pages of the website are designed for easy navigation and a simple download process. They mostly consist of tables and buttons that have links that enable the user to reach the download page. Pages like browse torrents and Top 10s have a table formatted in the following way: ‘Type’, ‘Name’, ‘Comments’, ‘Date of upload’, ‘File size’, ‘Seeds’, ‘Leeches’ and ‘Uploader’. Whereas other pages either consist of tabular data or forms.

Free Indie Content – Even though the website has limited users, it has a considerable amount of free indie content that is enough to keep you occupied for a long time. There is a new torrent uploaded every day from users who are trying to maintain their ratio. Moreover, you can also find subtitles for most of the torrents in different languages.

Desktop/Mobile experience

The best thing about being a part of HD4Fans is that you can access it from any device or any part of the world. It opens and can be operated easily on different devices but it can be difficult to use the website on cell phones as it is not designed for small aspect ratios.

Suggestions I have for HD4Fans

Though I like a lot of things about this great community, it still has room for improvement in certain areas. For instance, a user should have the right to request torrents. All the popular torrent sites allow users to make a request by providing a dedicated page. In addition to that, I’ve noticed that some of the torrents do not contain the entire data which wastes the time of the end-user. So, I’d just suggest the mods to fix that first.

Conclusion

HD4Fans is a great source for high-resolution free indie visual content. However, one has to keep the rules of the website in mind while browsing and maintain a healthy ratio. I’d recommend you join this community once the berth opens, you certainly won’t regret it.
