What trackers have old movies from the 30s and 40s and/or silent films?

Thanks for the link Sparky. Naturally these are mostly B-movie type flicks but still loaded with plenty of great stuff!

GuyFawks, thanks for the recommendations. Can you tell me more about them? How do they differentiate from each other? Do any specialize in movies of a certain type (art films, foreign films, experimental films, animated films, etc)? How much content is available? How many users? Or even just general impressions. Thx.

Cinematik has a lot of foreign films, odlies, goldies, westerns, art house, rare.
Cinemageddon is the same, except it has more rare and "B" and personally questionable (has catagories such as Exploitation and Gore)
Cinema Obscura has more rare
Karagarga is like Cinematik, except it has more art house and rare. (different content) Only Cinemageddon and Cinematik are open right now. (I think). Get them quick or get an invite to Karagarga as I hear it is the best. They also have nice ratio grace. You can download practically up to 50gigs on Cinematik with a low ratio before they get mad. The reasoning for this is that they trade rare and obscure movies which only a few people may want, so they give you plenty of time to make it back. I hope this helps.

what about french films

[enter8]

I've been looking for french films as well. Snow Tigers, being a French Tracker, might be a good place. I'm not a member there yet. I signed up to a bunch of Quebecois trackers the other day... nothing gave me what I was looking for, though.

A little FYI about snowtigers (no,I don't have it. Used to...inactivity);
I was told by a trader-friend that it's not all that great, speed-wise (maybe that's why I never used it).

Helena, can you recall if it had many French films?

[GuyFawks]

Ciematik has a foreign film section with a few french films. So do the others as well I believe.

Helena, can you recall if it had many French films?

Just saw your question, apologies.
I really couldn't tell you, enter8.
The site is in French (so in my mind,the answer should be, "Yes.") and I was able to sign up only because I was looking for open sign-ups (back in Feb).

KG has all the rare ones...demonoid has the vault of movies.
