Excerpt from the About section:

vgmTorrents is a videogame music related private tracker. We do care about the quality and reliability of our releases, trying to offer any kind of VGM content, from soundtracks to documentaries and video interviews. Our goal is to let anybody know about videogame music, a genre which is generally overlooked, largely because most of those CDs are out of stock, or only available in Japan and Asian online stores, with high-priced shipping costs. Anyone can upload VGM stuff on vgmTorrents, though registration is required to ensure anybody does have a positive sharing ratio. You are more than welcome in the community – enjoy videogame music!

Technical details
The tracker frontend is based on WordPress, plus some custom pages for torrent details, browse section, upload form and so on. It also includes some additional user management code with stats, shoutboxes for torrent pages, and a ratio system that simply prevents people from downloading a gigabyte of stuff and ending up seeding not even a kilobyte back.
The theme is a modified version of Carrington.
Forums were bbPress powered. Now we’re running MyBB.

On the server side, vgmTorrents uses lighttpd to serve webpages, PHP, MySQL as RDBMS, and XBTT (a tracker written in C++) for torrent tracking.
