Description:
"Romanian" 0day music tracker, having english translations all over the place, growing day by day.
*NO-RATIO tracker, based on total traffic (upload+download).

*IRC
Server: irc.p2p-network.net
Port: 6667
Channels: #tscn

TheScene.Ro is a fairly new music torrent tracker. Like most other trackers specializing in this niche, TheScene.Ro tracks a lot of English music across multiple genres such as Metal, Hip-Hop and Rock. From what I know this tracker has Romanian origins (they sure have a lot of BitTorrent trackers in Romania). There is no reason to worry if you are not Romanian as majority of the content on TheScene.Ro is English(site interface is also in English).

Thank you for your suggestions and visits . Have a nice day .

I gotta say, the name sure is original. Best of luck to them, we all know there aren't many no ratio music trackers around.

[cinephilia]

knowing romanians, this tracker will be full of trance/techno crap. definitely not for me.

[cocolinho]

the tracker contains all kind of music :)

that's what they all say :rolleyes:

[patiesmiz]

It's not a 0day music tracker, but a general music tracker.
There are new and old scene and non scene releases, and there are not sortable by Archive, non-scene, scene, etc, it's quite messy.

And they do have a global ratio system plus a 'Leech And Run' rule or something.

Just to let you know.

[cocolinho]

the coder it's working to make a better Sort like you say Archive, Non-scene, scene .... something like this but it will take some days to make it :)


One of the rules it's to make a minimum 300Mb monthly Total TRaffic

What's up with these "minimum traffic" rules some Romanian sites have implemented lately? I think hd-bits.ro has a similar one (made me ruin my ratio because of it :)). I do understand that you want members who actually use the site, and 300MB is actually pretty reasonable for a music tracker IMHO, but any other specific reason why Romanian sites implement such rules? I haven't seen similar ones elsewhere at least.

Another "surprise" of the staff team it's the new approach way of traffic measurement. From today, TSCN it's joinining those trackers which have gave up at the "ratio system" ,hoping that we'll get rid of the "i don't have enough ratio to download" thinking.

for example i have accounts on other trackers and on some trackers i must ... ask my friends to download the same torrent that i downloaded days ago to rise my ratio :),keeping my account enabled
and i stay all day at seed.

we want that all people to enjoy the music !

this should one of the reasons that we have Total Traffic.

[Contempt]

The rule with 300 mb traffic aka 300 mb upload+download / month exists for preventing "inactive users" remaining around . 300 mb (again,upload+download) it's a small requirement .

Knowing romanians ? This mentality is all over the world now , "all romanians" , like we are all the same . That's wrong . The tracker has and will have all kind of music , we don't copy anyone. 80% of total torrents will be 0day , so we aren't guilty if the releases are integrated much more in trance/techno categories. Go browse them , and tell me after if we have "only techno/trance crap" . Have a nice day .

of course all romanians are not the same... i was just pointing out a trend of romanian youth listening this musical genre in particular.

[Contempt]

No we're not :) There are only 2 general music trackers in .ro , MT and us , and the content isn't only trance and techno :) Maybe on elektronik , but that's based on that kind of music . Again , go and search our torrents database , we are trying daily to maintain a balance between the different music genres . That's why our tracker will contain both scene/non-scene torrents, we really , really want to avoid that kind of situation . Thanks for your opinions.

[cinephilia]

i was just saying that romanian youth tended to be into trance/techno more than many otehr countries..

[Glitterstep]

Techno's got the Glitchy Vibe...Tuck Tuck Takkaaaa!!...
Just got myself signed up...will be active out here...Looks like a fabulous site.....TT FTW.........Will try and upload a lot of techno and Tech music!!

[cinephilia]

techno aka the music of decadence :sick:

[patiesmiz]

Just a few popular categories and number of torrents on every one, so you will have an idea about what you will find there.

From a total of 1.335 torrents:

Punk: 8

Indie: 11

Alternative: 12

R & B: 24

Metal: 41

Rock: 54

Pop: 61

House: 183

Trance: 180
----------

From the site rules ( C & P):


# Low ratios may result in severe consequences, including banning or disabling accounts in extreme cases.
# Leech And Run is not allowed, and you'll be punished with warning or disable account for that.
# More than a week of 0.2 ratio, or two weeks of 0.3 ratio will get your account disabled.
----------------------------So do you mean that those rules won't be applied from now on?

Plus the ability to upload for PU and above, only, seems pointless to me for a site that is starting.

[cinephilia]

House: 183

Trance: 180

seems i was right on this one :happy:

[Lucifer9999]

old music 100
music vid 65..etc

but the site is growing...
on all general music trackers, the procent of techo/house/trance torrents is the biggest, for the simple reason that are very many dj's and bands in this area, so there is a huge number of releases of this type!!

[shipwreck]

Techno & Trance is fine, as long as it's old school stuff! Ah the memories.... :D

The only music I despise is crap music. There probably is no genre I dislike as long as the music is of artistic value. And you may laugh, but that applies to a lot of electronic music also.

No. Those rules doesnt apply anymore as the ratio system has been disabled.

Also, for starting we won't punish Leech'n'Runners as we look for more and more user to start leeching and using their accounts.

That ability is questionable, as we started a new poll for our users (be sure you check the Home page)


* Don't forget that the free signup is still on.
* We installed a new auto-upload script, 3 days ago, with GREAT pretimes.
* We have a non-ratio system that we want to encourage our users to leech without thinking about their stats.
* Our IRC channel is up on P2PNET, tracking the new uploads through our announce bot. (#TSCN)

I checked it out right now, a few thoughts.

Isla de Muerte needs to be added as a country of choice! :)

I don't know if it's a TBDev bug, it probably is (I think I experienced this on a porn site once already, don't ask me which one though...), but if you choose a number of genres in your profile (under "Browse default categories"), they are actually not selected once you hit the "browse" button - all categories are shown.
Nothing against good old TBDev, but have you thought about Gazelle?

This said, you guys need to be commended for trying to establish a no-ratio music tracker, because AFAIK, that doesn't exist yet.

[sez]

I don't understand romanian,do the songs have english voice overs or subs?

[Cabalo]

get your subs at www.opensubtitles.org
some have hard encoded subs on the chinese parts ;)

[ovisan]

Not a bad tracker overall. Works well with musictorrents and elektROnik. I had an acc there before and Ive lost it due to inactivity but now Ive re-registered when Ive found out about yre no-ratio system. Thanks for that.
Oh, and nevermind cinephillia, he only got bad days

[Contempt]

Thanks for your opinions .

Update : User promotion has been fixed for the new system, for being promoted at Power User class ,
you must be a member for at least 8 weeks , and having a total traffic > 250 GB .

Libble is ratio-free music tracker

[shipwreck]

Don't know that one, but thanks for correcting me.

[cinephilia]

isn't CE a ratioles tracker too ?

[Funkin']

I don't know if CE is still ratioless or not, but Libble definitely is a descent, general, ratioless music tracker.

I'll sign up and give this one a shot. I really hope cine is going to be wrong though, and this site won't be mostly populated by the electronic type of music(or trance/house/techno music, or whatever it's called...it all sounds the same to me).
