The legendary "Rutreker" celebrates 20th anniversary

Already 20 years have passed since Rutreker first appeared on the Internet. Today this iconic resource is celebrating its anniversary, and, I must say, there is something to be proud of. Every day there are about a million downloads and half a thousand new distributions - and all this without intrusive advertising and paid subscriptions.

But life for Rutreker was not easy. In 2015, litigation began with copyright holders, and by 2016 the tracker was officially blocked. But could this stop real enthusiasts? Nothing happened. The site not only survived, but also stopped making concessions to those who tried to close it.

Over the years, the site only gained momentum. By the end of the 2010s, he already had several thousand mirrors, and in 2020 the volume of distributions exceeded a mind-boggling 4 petabytes. A year later, something amazing happened: users themselves raised 2 million rubles to buy hard drives for storing rare files.

Today Rutreker is a whole universe of content. Here you will find music for every taste, games, books and magazines, software of all kinds, and documentaries. And who knows, maybe in 20 years we will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of this indestructible resource.
