This site is a torrent tracker requiring login/password. There's also a forum I've mentioned on the previous page, also requiring login/password - where it is possible to run private torrents and to post links. There is a "blogspot" model - a site having a "c-box" (or a "shout box"), where uploaders have to use login/password, but their links (posted in the "box") are open for everybody. Lastly, the kind of a specialized forum where links are in the open like Guitars101. (In any case, as long as certain popular upload sites are used, it's even possible to upload to them without logging to the said upoad sites.) So there are at least four different models for a new site.
