TorrentHR

Introduction

Torrent tracking website with no content restrictions and a large free indie content library can be hard to find. Most private tracking websites have a ratio that needs to be maintained and failure in doing so can get your account deleted. However, this is not the case with TorrentHR.

What is TorrentHR?

TorrentHR is a Croatian general tracker. It specializes in free Croatian indie content.

History of TorrentHR

The website was launched 12 years ago in 2008 and has been operating ever since. It has been catering to the audiences that mainly consist of countries from Eastern Europe. Due to which the content of the website is written in Croatian, which can be changed to English by turning the Google translator on.

Is TorrentHR safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which TorrentHR 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, TorrentHR has a domain score of 4 and a trust score of 31 which is quite poor. Sure, 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 2008 and still hasn’t managed to surpass a DS of 10 is extremely disappointing.

Design

TorrentHR has a dark theme that is consistent on all the pages of the website. It has a readable white text coupled with a black background and red highlights. The website has links, search boxes, checkboxes, and buttons that can be used for navigation.

Header – Like every other torrent tracking website, TorrentHR too has a header. It comprises options like, ‘Home’, ‘TorrentI’, ‘Homemade’, ‘Upload’, ‘Desire’, ‘Chat’, ‘Forum’, ‘Top 10’, ‘Rules’, ‘FAQ’, ‘Links’, ‘WHR’, and ‘Staff’.

Inner Pages – The website has numerous inner pages that let the members access the different parts of it. The layout of these inner pages is quite basic and is mostly made of tables and links. Some pages comprise all the major functionalities of the website such as checkboxes, search bar, link, and table. The ‘browse torrent’ page is a fine example of the most dynamic pages of the website.

Free Indie Content – The website does have a vast library which is mostly made up of Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegro free indie movies, free indie TV shows, and free indie music.

Community members can download or upload any number of torrents as they don’t have to worry about getting banned due to a low ratio.

Desktop/Mobile experience

TorrentHR works seamlessly on both devices and loads quickly due to its text and image ratio. The website fits any screen with ease but using it on a cell phone can be a little inconvenient. Mobiles have a smaller screen that can load the website easily, but the size shrinks to almost 25%. In this scenario, it can be hard to click on the right links.

Suggestions I have for TorrentHR

Though I really like the platform and the interactive community, I do feel that it falls short on content. It lacks the free indie content depth and quality capable of attracting users and holding them for a longer period. I’d advise the mods to increase the quantity and quality of free indie content on the site so it can retain the user base in the long-run.

Conclusion

TorrentHR is one of the most amazing torrent tracking websites offering Croatian and Serbian free indie content for free. Its ratio-less policy can be a great outage for frequent downloaders.
