Private TV & movie tracker FearNoPeer has gone offline permanently. Almost no warning was given to users, just a terse email:

FNP is closing — a short note from Kami

After almost three years of running this site largely on my own, I’ve made the decision to step away. This is about my own health and capacity, not any single event.

The server will be shutting down in 30 minutes or less from when you receive this message and i encourage you to share it and be aware. After that, the site will not return.

I’m grateful for every contribution that helped keep FNP online, and I’m sorry that what I can offer in return is this notice rather than more time.

If you want the longer account of what happened — for your own reading — it’s here and i suggest everyone to read it: https://rentry.co/h2ch4wfr

Thank you to every genuine member who made this community what it was over the past three years. You’re the part of this I’ll remember.

— Kami

    Looked into this.

    OE seems to be Onlyencodes. They’re closed now and you need profile screenshots from two other private trackers to apply. Sucks that FNP shut down so abruptly. I especially feel for anyone who donated.

    A4K seems to specialize in 4K content which doesn’t interest me

    Couldn’t figure out what DP refers to. Maybe Decoder.lv? Not found.

    Seedpool was open as of yesterday. Good luck y’all

      OnlyEncodes’ applications are still open for almost three more days according to the site’s banner and the Apply button on the homepage. Yes, you may need to submit profile proofs on the app. It is a ‘closed community’ (i.e. private tracker). I don’t know what you mean when you say it’s ‘closed now.’

      DP is DarkPeers.

        Thanks for clarifying. It sounds like my understanding of open is different than yours. I’ve always thought open meant you could register an account without an application process. It sounds like you’re saying open means you can apply without an invitation.

      DP is DarkPeers, it doesn’t have a collection as big as FNP but they’re steadily growing, I’ve found them a great place to cross-seed to and from.

      Iirc YuScene is also open, it’s another entry level tracker, kinda like Dark peers but the last time I checked it had less content than DP.
