ScenePalace.ORG - quite possibly the Internet’s first 2010 tracker, also happens to be one of the better ’scene’ trackers to emerge in recent history. ScP is purposely absent from our latest list of new trackers in order to avoid confusion with ScenePalace.com - and also to provide readers with a closer look into this brand-new 0sec/0day tracker. Already ranked #8 in pretimes for releases in both spam and non-spam categories, ScP is showing amazing potential - here’s a tracker not to be overlooked.
Update Jan 17th: ScenePalace is now closed for registration.
Rarely are scene trackers open publicly to registration without some form of screening or recruitment, but ScP has chosen to have open signups for a limited time. Staff have tipped us off that registration will likely cease once they reach 5,000 members.

ScenePalace’s design is still going through some growing pains (they’re officially still in beta), which can be expected from any new tracker with a main focus on churning out new releases. But don’t let that distract you from the sheer content coming into this one. Below is a look at the most recent tracker stats (as of 2010/01/17).
ScenePalace has Sceneaxx
ScP.org indexes 1,200+ torrents in less than a week, including over 200 new torrents added just yesterday, January 7th. Pretimes are linked to each new release which gives a clear indication into how ‘fast’ this tracker really is.

Dual Browse Pages & Other Features:
Similar to other scene trackers, ScP segments the scene releases into two distinct browse pages (regular ‘Browse’ for non-spam releases and ‘MP3/0Day’ for what is traditionally known as spam).
Non-Spam | Spam |
Freeleech — There’s a sitewide freeleech going on until January 20th; this is a great opportunity for members to build up some ratio before this tracker really begins to take shape.
HTTPS Tracker (& Browse) — One of just a handful of trackers that implements an optional HTTPS (SSL) tracker, which users can set in their profile.
Seedbox-Hosted — ScenePalace.org uses 5 (that’s right, 5) 1Gbit seedboxes to host all new torrents coming onto the tracker.
ScP - IRC Features:
No scene tracker is complete without IRC services, and ScenePalace has plenty to offer in their own network on irc.scenepalace.org (ports 6697, 7000 or 9999 for SSL).
