Scene Content, Non-Scene content, Packs, Community, Others.

Content, imo, should be the most important feature for any tracker. Slow speeds I can live with, but if a tracker doesn't have enough content or good content then its useless. So it also follows that Packs are really important.

Community I think is also an important feature. If a tracker has a good helping community it totally changes the whole file-sharing experience. I mean if you consider TB, it wasn't too big on content or Pre-times, in the later days that is, but the community totally made it worthwhile being part of the tracker. Its the same with FSC.

Among other things that I think are important is an aggressive HnR policy, if you don't seed back 1:1 you should get warned, as this will help Torrents last longer, alot like FSC and FTN(or so I hear). So basically some method of making the torrents last longer. Like the setup that RTS has for the long term. RTS will have a special user class called re-seeders who will re-seed torrents that died out pre-maturely.
Another important thing is a Request section, which is basically an addition to the Community and the Non-scene side of the tracker.

Security I believe comes with the size of the community, the smaller the community the safer it usually is.

Content (with scene, non-scene and packs) and speed for older torrents.

Community & security & occasional download of something interesting, giving back twice as much as I take.

TL for my actual torrents, and just about keeping at 1:1.1, but a seedbox for bumping up!

Fully agree.

You can get the same scene content pretty much everywhere. On dedicated trackers the non-scene content and quality of it is important. On 0day trackers the staff (and community) are important as pretimes are pretty similar and only affect you if you are sitting in front of your computer all day
