Be A Scener.com - New 0Day/Scene Tracker

August 12, 2008 by sharky

Ordinarily we wouldn’t do a full-page spread on just any new tracker that comes along - if we did, we’d have 938 pages on just this alone. But occasionally we come across a newcomer that has some darn good potential, as is the case with Be A Scener. BSC is a brand-new 0day/Scene tracker with some very impressive pre-times that compete with (and even beat) some of the best 0day trackers.

NOTE: This tracker is dead, and any reference to it is held for archival purposes only.

Skeptics will say, "So what makes this tracker any different than any other new tracker?". For starters, BSC is a pure 0day tracker - something lacking as of late in a BitTorrent world full of "general" trackers. It’s best to let BSC explain it:

We’re a new tracker, strictly scene material, automatic torrent uploading by our self coded bot. Torrents raced directly from topsites - no uploaders, making pre times amazing. Staff consists of current and former sceners. Signups will cease at 5K at which point the only way to join is by invitation. This is no ordinary wannabe tracker, we have been testing with different scripts and tracker configurations for the past year and feel now is the time.

Public signups are now currently open at http://beascener.com. We should note that their ’self-coded’ bot - aka "AUTOBOT" (you’ll figure it out) offers freeleech at random times (fun!).

Staff at BSC obviously have a good-natured sense of humour, which is evident by browsing the forums. Here’s their tongue-in-cheek response to whom they are, and why they started the site:

Already there’s a decent amount of torrents (442 - and a new one is added about every two minutes) which isn’t bad for this being their first day open - expect this to increase dramatically due to AutoBot’s uploading prowess. Staff is also considering the idea of making BSC a ratio-free site, which would obviously increase leechers and torrent activity. With a 5,000 member limit, Be A Scener just may be that tracker we’ll all wished we’d signed up for when we had the chance.

UPDATE: All torrents are freeleech until further notice.
