So what exactly is a specialized tracker?

[Lovestoned]

Well, I guess anything related to one category could be considered as a specialised tracker then.

Or maybe just to differentiate between general trackers such as Torrentleech.

So how can they be specialized sites, when they dont do just 100% Music?

Maybe because you confuse specialized and exclusive
Specialized = large part of music
Exclusive = 100%, and only music

bollox

specialized = only does 1 thing, a Jaguar Garage that only sells Jaguar cars is specialized in Jaguar Cars, if it done, Minis as well, it would not be specialized any more.

Exclusive = its hard to get in, its one of a kind, fuck all to do with content

I think its you that have them arsed up

so i say again, what a load of bollox. (and not once have i ever heard of an exclusive tracker when it comes to content, hard to get in yes, but not content.

1. To pursue a special activity, occupation, or field of study.
2. Biology To develop so as to become adapted to a specific function or environment; undergo specialization.
3. To concentrate on a particular activity or product: The shop specializes in mountain-climbing gear.

Read the third definition, and as you can see that's exactly what those music sites did. While they had some other stuff they did, they concentrated specifically on music.

Just like music shops sometimes sell DVDs/Games...

lol...Maybe that I badly expressed what I wanted to say !
...example : In my country a garage which is specialized in Peugeot cars ...repairs your car even if it's a Renault or Audi car.
Not sure that you'll understand what i mean.
On the other hand I do not deny that we can use the word "Specialized" in a sense which is not right.

[saulin]

Didn't SweDVDR especialized on DVD movies and I think it was just PAL movies? Well I don't remember seeing NTSC movies there. Or did it also have TV Episodes DVDs?

so wny bother posting.

and exclusive to me means, on a tracker anyway, they have exclusive content, as on no other tracker has it, or will get it, as its been done all by the uploader of the torrent, not a silly pack, but a P2P release like some HD Groups, but they never show up anywhere else.

Obviously the way filesharing goes, that means no tracker has any exclusive content, as it will get spread elsewhere, doesnt matter how hard they try to keep it inhouse.

[Something Else]

Specialised, to me, means a tracker concentrates on that rather than having everything. They can still have other categories and be specialised in one.

Cabalo's thought about calling them oriented is the easiest way out, imo.

Btw, are there any specialized trackers in stoi's sense of the word?
