I understand that whole thing, where tracker staff bitch & ban if someone re-ups the stuff they've "stolen" or out-"sourced" from the scene via ftp topsites or by a more direct means. In my opinion this attitude is 100% hypocritical. Don't need your enlightening, but thanks anyways.

It is hypocritical but in their defense there is always the argument of money,in that some of these sites pay alot to get these files as fast as they usually do and it literally amounts to stealing when somebody takes the torrents for the sole purpose of uploading to another torrent site without their permission.Worse if they don't donate.
I recall an incident from a while back that if anything was characteristic to what djgrr has suffered under the scene only that this time it was P2P owning another P2P site coz of stealing torrents.
So it does get serious especially when the theft is happening as fast.Code:2009-06-12 22:42:01 XViD Yo.Dawg.I.Herd.REDLiNE.Is.Running.TopBytes.Net.Thus.The.Easy.Hack.BDRip.XViD.AC3-FLAW3D 2009-06-12 22:38:10 XViD Yo.Dawg.Did.You.Hear.Asterix.Was.RSS.Autoing.From.SCC.On.To.His.OVH.WinBox.And.Uploading .To.TopBytes.For.Super.Fast.PreTimes.BDRip.XviD-AC3-FLAWED 2009-06-12 22:36:59 XViD I.Heard.Marc.Jenks.Of.8463.Station.Road.In.Newport.Gwent.United.Kingdom.Runs.TopBytes- Lets.Call.Anti-Piracy.On.Him.BDRip.XviD-AC3-FLAWED 2009-06-12 22:35:25 XViD I.Heard.TopBytes.Still.Hasnt.Changed.The.SSH.Password.That.Was.Leaked.Last.Night.BDRip.XviD- AC3-FLAWED 2009-06-12 22:33:40 XViD I.Heard.TopBytes.Staff.Are.Pissed.And.Going.To.Start.Another.Tracker.We.Are.Taking.Bets.On.

PTM.
The huge competition sites like TL, SCC, ScL etc are not a good place to lurk.

Life is a vow, never to die, until it's over.
FYI i don't download from the Internet nor make copies of stuff i buy - so I don't pirate.
About you guys saying staff being hypocritical. As one of you've already mentioned running a bt site costs, especially a scene one. You only relay on users donations.
So if you're paying for your warez instead of getting them for free it's less 'stealing'? There is no ethical card in play when it comes to warez, it's all the same to me whether it's in the form of newsgroups, exclusive ftp dumps, or public trackers.
I'm interested in some recommendations for the best public trackers.
TPB seems to be out now, mininova is filtered, torretbox I assume is still U.S. filtered, heard bad things about Sumo, thinking about tvtorrent.
I just found openbittorrent yesterday, so that's one.
