BitTorrent’s newest private tracker, LoveTheScene.net, opened its doors yesterday.
Get in while you can - there’s a 3,500 member limit. LoveTheScene presently lists 205 members and 183 torrents (not too bad for just one day). Uploaders are jam-packing the site with as many torrents as possible - there’s a new one every couple of minutes. LTS is currently set to freeleech for the next week or so; now is the time to build a good ratio.
RSS Feeds
If you’re into RSS torrent feeds, you’ll like LoveTheScene - they’ve really done it right! There’s an RSS feed for every category, PLUS there’s two styles of feeds - "Web" and "Download". For those unfamiliar, ‘Direct Download’ feeds are for use with RSS-enabled torrent clients for automated downloads (not enough trackers offer this great feature). Users can also specify the number of results to be shown in the feed (between 5 and 50), and multiple categories can be combined into the same feed.
Categories
LoveTheScene is a general all-around tracker with just about every category of torrent imaginable:
Friendly Staff
Surprisingly, there’s a large number of staff at LTS, and all are helpful and non-elitist. Users are encouraged to make requests and even to upload new torrents (although you’ll first need to fill out an uploader form). The forums, while still small, are fun and light.
