I've been wondering... Why?

[Melvinmeow]

ScT is really nice...they have exclusive packs that no one else has That convinced me, I am always looking for more content

Where exactly are these EXCLUSIVE packs??
Its all scene material the same stuff you can find on TL, Bitsoup, F*N, and a bunch of other sites.
Not sure where your comment came from. Most sites have basically the same stuff they just rotate so just cause its on SCT today doesnt mean it hasnt been on another 6 months ago and that it wont be on a differant site 3 months from now as well.

Exactly.

Define, "exclusive packs that no one else has".

Agreed. ScT gets a lot of their TV Packs off BMTV or Public Trackers

Yeah, it's true I like the packs, and I like collecting elite sites.

However, most of it is about speed. Both the speed of the download and how quickly scene material is uploaded to the site.

A DVD Screener may appear on FTN or F*** days before it reaches TL, if it comes to TL at all. TV shows will also often appear an hour or two earlier.

Many of the sites have exclusive material. Especially the specialty sites like BitMeTV or Oink. They have things I haven't been able to find elsewhere.

It's worth it.

Oh, one more thing. The more secret the site, the less likely you'll get in trouble for downloading copy-righted material.

Actually I never download packs...
I have downloaded my first pack last week (MusicVids pack), but not checked for downloading all files...

[h4mm44d]

It's partly because of 'exclusive' content, faster speeds etc. but there definately is for everyone a sense of competition to get the best tracker.
Also, when your not a part of an 'elite' site you're led to believe that your missing out on something. In other words...

it is human nature

Edit: On the subject of packs, I personally love them as although I could scour the net looking for the individual scene releases, it's nice when you have them all in one pack, easier for archiving. Also, sometimes you get something in a pack that you wouldn't have thought of looking for, for example a certain multiple gigabyte pack which included most of the films of a certain actor, had films that I wouldn't have actively looked for, yet I greatly enjoyed watching them.

the grass is always greener mate, they always want what they cannot have. I'm like that with attached women

I find that some of the "Elite" sites are hard to get your ratios where they need to be. If they are considered elite, they usually have a high number of users using seedboxes and there seems to be very few leechers because of the download speed you get. I have looked for the best seed to leech torrent on these sites and by the time I get the file downloaded, the 30+ leechers have it as well. The speeds are awsome, but that means there are fewer leechers getting upload from you because they are a leecher for less time. I have a around 20 trackers and I usually find myself using the same 5 over and over again.

I have a good connection, but if there is nobody leeching for any amount of time, it really doesn't help ya. But then again I have maybe 1 tracker that is considered "elite", so maybe I am just bitter because I don't have more. LOL

[gamer4eva]

Elite= The ones that are hard to get into and requires a considerable effort to keep good ratio.

Ok, so I've been in this business not long, and I was wondering why people wanna get the BEST or the ELITE tracker? I mean, I am very satisfied with BitSoup and TorrentLeech because they have pretty much everything I need. If I needed something they didn't have, I'd just request it and most likely it'll be up in a week or two. I mean, don't every tracker have about the same releases (I.e. if you want the newest DVDR of Star Wars, you'd probably find it on most of the mainstream private trackers)? Also, the speeds are usually about the same unless you want something like 1+Mb/s. So.. Why does everyone like to trade invites and/or accounts that they have spent a lot of time to invest in?

You can make a case for special sites like a national site with only your language or a DVD-only site or even a music only site, but what is the point of having all these general (0-day? Idk, i just saw it somewhere) trackers when all you're trying to do is get some free stuff that you can pretty much find elsewhere?

Just curious..

i don't know too
but u can say tat collecteing this trackers
is a some thing like collecting rare postoffice

and the other thing
that trackers is the best in music
other the best in old movies
,other is the best in new movies
