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.

I hope most people got a screenshot of their profile before they shut down to at least get some apps in other entry-level trackers. But with 1h notice probably not.
FNP was a big tracker and I’m sure a lot of people will miss it but it wasn’t really a great tracker. Kami was very jealous and protective, trying to be great by harming other trackers rather than growing together. I’m sure that these people will be able to find better homes that are more part of the private tracker community rather than trying to stand apart and suck in donations.
Plenty of places doing open signups right now for refugees. OE, A4K, DP, just to name a few. Unfortunate for the community, but anyone who couldn’t see this coming I envy your ignorance.
I don’t really have time to keep up with tracker drama. I had no idea there were any issues.
Same for me, I just want to have a good tracker where there’s no fake content. I guess now I have to start looking for some new place.

I only used FNP once or twice… can somebody ELI5 me why all the movie dowloads was so ridiculously gigantic?
You may have been downloading BluRays or Remuxes which are a 1:1 copy of the video in the Blu Ray disc. Or probably a very high bitrate file (depending on what you consider huge).
I was primarily looking for olden movies - I tend to binge-watch old horror B-movies - and the downloads were usually greater than 2 gigs.
Thanks for the explanation.
Even with HEVC encodes, 2-3 GBs is what I look for in terms of quality. FNP divided the torrents by what kind of encode they were from full disc rips to web downloads. So the size between those torrent varied wildly.
If you just wanna watch B movies once and delete, you’re better off scouring YouTube for random uploads.
