Here’s a great opportunity to those who’ve been looking to join one of BitTorrent’s best-kept secrets - TorrentVault.org is presently open for registration. If memory serves correctly, it’s been nearly a year since this 0sec scene tracker has offered open signups. With upwards of 45,000 torrents indexed since resurfacing back in late October ‘09 using Gazelle’s codebase, TV should not be overlooked. But hurry; the member limit is just 15K which leaves ~2,500 under 1,000 open spots.
Update: Signups are now closed, 15K member limit has been reached.

TorrentVault Features:
A lot to list; TorrentVault is quite possibly BitTorrent’s most improved 0sec/general tracker that exists today.
Loads of New Content — On average, TorrentVault consistently indexes 550-650 new torrents each day. Aside from offering a staggering amount of fresh scene content, TV also allows for P2P-group releases and all members are able to upload torrents. The only category not allowable is adult releases; you won’t find pr0n torrents here.
Auto Scene — TV incorporates their own set of "autouploader / autotrader" scripts to pull new releases from scene sources (no one else has the same, it is unique to TV). Also worth noting; TV has at least two separate upload bots - both of which assist to offer extremely competitive pretimes (and pretimes are listed for each release). In a popular #tracers (torrent racers) channel on p2p-net.eu, TorrentVault currently rests in the #2 spot during the past month, second only to SCC.
Great Request System — TV has a 81% "fill" rate for torrent requests, making it one of the best scene/general trackers in this area. If you can’t find it at TV, simply request it - chances are high that someone will fill it.
Gold (Bonus) System — To encourage longer life of torrents, and to reward members with slower Internet connections, TV has a bonus system in place. Every hour that you are seeding a completed torrent you earn 3 Gold for each one. So if you are seeding 20 torrents you will earn 60 Gold every hour. Gold can then be used in the marketplace to purchase UL GBs, invites etc (marketplace will soon be updated on TV).
mIRC AutoDownloader — Don’t want to wait for torrents to appear on the tracker? No problem! TorrentVault offers an mIRC auto-downloading utility designed to pull releases straight from their IRC announce. Also works well with uTorrent & its WebUI.
