Description & Goal
Slogan: Because we need music to Exist

This is the third iteration of CE or CE v3

"Our goal is not to be another repository of music, but instead to create an environment that allows you to try new music without the obstacle of worrying about the effect it will have on your ratio. We are a communal tracker devoted to a common interest, which is the love of music."

CoExist (CE) is a private ratioless tracker "This site is run by volunteers and there are no guaranties whatsoever". The 2010 Review CE v2 still covers the basics; It still has a userlimit of 5000, the public signups are always closed and invites can be given from an existing member or through their channel when available. Their speeds are nice and so are the staff and community. It being a ratioless tracker means that a 1:1 ratio is not required.. the only thing to do is one has to seed for 72 hrs. (3 days) within 5 days of having downloaded the torrent. They also still rocking the fame or the bonus system which entirely depends on how much you seed a torrent .

Now lets put the 2010 Review CE v2 aside, in the latest incarnation, CE v3 has some new features you won't find anywhere else, some of the particularly noteworthy ones:

• Last.fm integration within your profile. To turn this feature on, just pop into your profile and put your Last.fm username into the proper field. The site will take care of everything from there.

• Solid request filling. CE has long had a good base of users happy to step up and fill requests. Just build up a few points, then start putting up bounties and requesting away!

• Auto fill of album details when uploading. When you upload an album, the auto fill feature will often be able to identify and fill in the details, making uploading much easier and faster than other places. To use it, just put in the artist name and (optionally) the album title, then click the 'Fetch List' link. Unless the album is relatively rare, the feature should work like a charm.

Ratings & Personal Commentary

Other Stylesheets: CoExists 2011 - Minus

I really like the Last.FM feature (Random User Profile)


I think its safe to say the same thing can be said about CE v3 that was mention by other members who replied to the 2010 Review, sure there may be notable new features but overall from the review you can understand why. I think this tracker is perfect for members that aren't apart of what.CD or waffles or maybe just looking for a small community to be apart of.

Content: 3.5/5
Lacks different variety of genres, needs more content.

Community: 3.5/5
Forum and IRC lack activity, the forum has threads which hasn't had a reply in months. The IRC is a bit more active someone will always be there; but not a lot of chatter goes on but it has its moments.

Speed: 3.5/5
Speeds are not the best but it suffices.
