The Dominating Trackers - Part II - Other Scene Trackers
November 16, 09 by sharky 5,199 viewsScT, SCC & GFT aren’t the only trackers with quality sceneaxx; other well-established sites - and even some newer ones - are also vying to provide fast pretimes on scene releases. Smaller, relatively unknown 0day trackers are surprisingly competitive at racing scene content and will often specialize in certain genres. Larger general trackers may also have scene access, although the majority of torrents come from uploaders who rip off the torrents from scene trackers.
Here at FSF we review countless new trackers, but it’s about time we took a look into the oldskoolers to pay homage to the dominating trackers. You know the sites we’re talking about: ScT, SCC & GFT - to name the top three - as well as TV, RTT, TL, TiT and other contenders such as CT, DH, HT and more. These trackers are without a doubt the founding fathers of modern-day private BitTorrent, responsible for dozens of spinoffs and new projects - and even provide content to sites like IPT, BitSoup & Demonoid. We tip our hat to these great communities!
4 trackers; 57,787 torrents. As luck would have it, all four of these great private trackers are open for signup at the same time. TopHos, normally closed to public signups isn’t just a tracker, it’s a community! TopBytes recently did some major housecleaning and re-opened registration today. DigitalHive is often underrated, but is a good scene tracker not to be overlooked (just a few signup spots left). LastTorrents is a tracker to compete with IPT, TL and the likes, and lists more than 27K torrents.
The overall cost of a seedbox service really hasn’t changed all that much over the past 18 months, but what has changed is what you can expect to get for your money. Providers that offer seedboxes with torrent limits are being left behind in favor of more robust (and affordable) solutions - with "slices" (VPSes) of a server being a preferred choice among pro seedboxers. Here we review & compare 14 new seedbox providers including a seedbox with 50 GB storage, unlimited torrents, unlimited bandwidth for just $10 a month.
Instead of waiting to add these hot new sites to our next "New Trackers" article, we thought it be best to present these two stylish (and purposeful) TBDev-coded trackers now. Both are specialized trackers; with DocsBits featuring eLearning torrents, and SceneXvid catering to scene-only XviD rips for TV, movies and adult releases.
Here’s one tracker you won’t be finding invitations floating around for, and that’s 
Activity has definitely picked up concerning new private trackers during the past month or so. Here’s our scary Halloween edition of what’s hot / what’s not among new trackers - including two new Gazelles you probably haven’t heard about; a great new scene tracker called Kaste; and, as usual, a bevy of sites worth forgetting.
