Torrentsnatch V2 is now renewed and completely different tracker. So far it's been strictly aimed to Yugoslavian area of europe.
As of today it's international (english as its main language). Lots of work has been put into it over past few months and in the end TS aimed to be as simple as possible (layout). They obviusly want their users to navigate with ease and fast.
Tracker is now pushed with FreeBSD 8.2 Stable and provides super fast loading of pages, far better indexing etc.
In V1 there was mostly/only p2p content, with V2 they also introduced Scene content along with actually pretty good pretimes.
They are not showing off with their pretime on browse page or on tracers, I guess they know what they want the best and what kind of users they aim at.
Special attention is directed at TV series, xvid and x264 ones and movies, xvid and x264 ones.
They also have two iNTERNAL groups, one for movies and capping (Cr0wn) and one for FLAC (44KHz). In my opinion, they are actually doing a great job so far altough they are not very well known yet.
One of the things I would like to point out at is that there is no HnR system at all, and there aren't any seeding requirements!
Only thing You have to take care of is your global ratio which shouldn't go below 0.6. Once below that you get auto warned and have 14 days to recover from it.
It's easy to recover since they have not so badly arranged seedbonus system which allows you to buy Gb's for points and few other things.
And it's fairly easy to collect it by just seeding.
Oh, and all torrents > 5Gb are ALWAYS FreeLeech and their iNTERNAL encodes are ALWAYS Half-Leech.
They currently have Global Free Leech set and it will stay like that for next month or so.

Ratings & Personal Commentary

Still unknown tracker but really trying to offer the most recent content and has really light rules.
In my opinion, it has good future if the staff continues this way and doesn't change with time.
Very friendly staff so far, and helpful too.
The good news is that 90% of torrents are seeded from min. 100 Mbit lines!

I don't want to compare it to any other trackers because it's relatively new on foreign market and they need some time to develop further more. If I have to compare them to something, than I can say they have super fast releases which can easily be an-pair to some of top trackers out there.

Update from TS;

Dear TS members,

After having our doors opened for entire week, we decided to close them down, for a long period of time.
Those of you who managed to get in congratulations and welcome once more.
Since the doors are closed now, we will begin to upload more content at much faster rate.

Invites will be avaliable, but will be controlled, we're not aiming at high userbase at all, and we will actually prune over 3K members in next few days who were inactive and didn't even bother to login since V2 opened, their loss.

Enjoy Your stay and leech as much as you can during FreeLeech period, collect your bonuses and spend them well.

Thank You,

//staff

Their torrent base is increasing rapidly, in 10 days over 1000 new torrents and continuing the same rate.

Awesome advancement!
