Thread: SceneAccess (SCC) Review

:: Site's Name : SCC ::

:: Site's Age : Four successful years ::

:: Sign Up : Invites only ::

:: Logo :: There are three different style sheets site offers at the moment so there are three different logos.




One of the most wanted, well organized, well managed, well secured, well designed trackers in the BT world. Site is full of rich contents. This is one of things that users get attached to the tracker. Huge freeleech packs, single episodes in different formats, various kind of releases etc. you can decide all of those things by looking at those big category lists below. They tell the story well.

Speeds are well how can I say this "fantastic". Most of users there use high end seedboxes or Internet connections to transfer their data. Sort of hard to compete with those users if you have somewhat a low end connection.

speed of pre-times is another important thing about this tracker. I think there are one or two trackers out there to compete with pre-times of this tracker. Most of pre-times are too quick. Here are some examples :
Chuck.S04E09.HDTV.XviD-LOL - Uploaded 48 seconds after pre.
Supernatural.S06E09.HDTV.XviD-2HD - Uploaded 22 seconds after pre.

Freeleech torrents are in two different sections. MP3/0day section and Archive section.

Mp3/0day
As you can see from the category list of this section below the section is all about MP3, 0day and MVids. This section covers a huge area.

Archive
Archive sections is all about Movies, TV, Games or others. Most of the the time those are coming as packs. You can find so many large packs in Archive section.

So many peers/seeders hang around in those sections all the time. Every torrent in those sections is free to be leeched. Best way to build your ratio up and increase you buffer amount.

Now the tracker uses SCC V2 beta which is awesome. Earlier only donor and VIP could access to the V2 then SceneLegend user class users and finally every user got the access to use the V2. Staff have made huge changes and added new cool features in V2. Like new look, new torrent searching feature, IMDB information for movies, improved code and many more.

Community of SCC is one of the most active and valuable communities in the torrent world. Forum is a knowledgeable, extremely active place. Not only about scene releases and the tracker, but also you can find very useful tutorials and stuff too. A lot of them. They also have some competitions going on there so users can participate to those competitions and be more active on the forum. Also I should mention about the IRC. There are different channels for specific languages and many channels for services. So IRC is also active.

Pros :
Amazing speeds, contents, pre-times, freeleech.
Active and knowledgeable community.
Promising look.
Friendly and Helpful IRC.

Cons :
Perhaps hard to compete with those seedbox users.
Hard to obtain an invite.
Few banned countries.

Ratings : Well I would give ratings as
Contents : 10/10
Speeds : 10/10
Community : 9/10
Pre-times : 9/10

How are those pre-times calculated? I've noticed the same thing in GFT.

How are those pre-times calculated? I've noticed the same thing in GFT.

scene groups rls their work on ftp sites called affils. from their its raced to other top sites and finally ends up on top rated tracker first and thn the lower ones. This whole time gap is called 'time after pre '. hope it helps.

Great review. SCC is amazing and I really like their freeleech section with movie and tv shows packs.

The rules equate gay and transgender porn with bestiality and child pornography?! wtf!
Banning pornography in general is a choice a site can make, but singling out gay and transgender for banning is just stupidly prejudiced, stuck up and discriminating. It surprises me that SCC is like that.

great review
what type of user would qualify for an invite ? 33% ? just curious

Not me. I hear SCC is quite discriminating in a lot of other ways than just that
