Instead of waiting to add these hot new sites to our next "New Trackers" article, we thought it be best to present these two stylish (and purposeful) TBDev-coded trackers now. Both are specialized trackers; with DocsBits featuring eLearning torrents, and SceneXvid catering to scene-only XviD rips for TV, movies and adult releases.
DocsBits.com
About / Stats
Online for just a few days, DocsBits.com already lists over 115 total torrents and 500+ registered members. Content includes eBooks, magazines, documentaries, science & medical journals and IT/computer-related material. Like most TBDev trackers the layout is clean and easy to browse without needless sidebars, chatboxes & giant category icons.
DocsBits is not an official reincarnate of the now-closed docs.torrents.ro eLearning tracker, but least one ex-staff member is involved in creating this new project as seen in this message on their homepage:
You may be wondering why I chose to start from scratch… We want to grow together, both in terms of content / community / design, (a decision) made after receiving feedback from people…
There’s always room for one more eLearning tracker - and expect DocsBits to do well. The ideology behind the intention of the site is nothing short of professional; here is not a tracker looking for some quick notoriety.

SceneXvid.org
About / Stats
SceneXvid is a brand-new Swedish/English scene tracker that carries XviD releases only - you won’t find DVDRs or x264/HD releases. It’s actually the sister site to SceneDVDr.org (which opened back in mid-June ‘09).
Natively a Swedish-coded TBDev tracker, although content is split almost equally between both Nordic releases and English scene. SceneXvid also has scene access, which is evident in the pretimes that are listed for each torrent.

- Online Since: October 29th, 2009
- Content/Type: XviD rips (films, tv, adult)
- Signup Extras: No invites, no upload credit. Users start out at 0/0 - although everything is freeleech (gold titles).
- Bonus System: Yes. Also has a ‘bonus betting’ area.

- IRC: irc.scenexvid.org/scenexvid (Port 6667 - normal; Port 6696 - SSL)

SceneXvid has been quick to amass a respectable torrent count, with their oldest active torrent being added on Nov. 4th - they already list 240 active torrents (with more than 100 new torrents added yesterday). There are just six different torrent categories; here’s a breakdown of each:
