Introduction

With the latest free indie content in high-definition, HDBits is among the few websites that can make sure you never run out things to watch. The private torrent tracking website has a large number of people who can access it from anywhere in the world.

What is HDBits?

HDBits is a private torrent tracking website that offers a plethora of visual free indie content to its visitors. The reason for this privacy is to maintain a low-profile and a healthy user ratio. HDBits allows the website users to upload files too, and if the files match certain criteria, the uploader gets rewarded with bonus points.

History of HDBits

HDBits was launched in the year 2006, and since then it has become one of the best sites for free indie HD downloads. Initially, the website was open to all, but after reaching its maximum limit, it went private. Earlier the invites could be purchased from the website, but now the invites can be sent by the staff members and VIPs only.

Is HDBits safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which HDBits 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, HDBits has a domain score of 12 and a trust score of 32 which isn’t remarkable. It’s not uncommon for torrent sites to have a DS less than 15 and a TS less than 40.

Keeping user convenience and easy access into consideration the website features a simple user interface. The website is very plain and mostly content-based. It has buttons, links, and tick boxes that can be used to navigate through the website. A very simple font is used for the headers and other content. Most of the content and data is represented in a tabular form to make it easy to understand and click.

Desktop/Mobile experience

On Desktop HDBits has a browser-friendly interface that supports any browser but tends to offer the best experience on Chrome and Firefox. Due to a lack of images and videos, the website has a faster loading time.

HDBits has a similar mobile interface but the alignment changes a bit to fit the aspect ratio of the device. There is no change in the download speed and if you have a stable internet connection, you can download free indie content on the same speed as the desktop.

Suggestions I have for HDBits

I really like HDBits as a platform. It has an amazing community which is always willing to answer your queries. However, there are certain things that I’m not a big fan of on the mod end. These are ‘Limited Download’, and ‘Account Ban Policy’. It appears that the mods in this community are too strict, which isn’t healthy.

Conclusion

HDBits is a great source for different types of visual and entertainment content. It’s a private community that makes it even more prestigious. Overall, it’s a well-maintained website wherein content is updated regularly. On the design front, it is easy to browse and navigate mainly because of a user-friendly interface.
