How often do you use open trackers like PB, mininova etc.?
As for me, I use piratebay or torrentz.com (tracks multiple trackers) not so infrequently.
And to mention, many a time, I have found stuff on Piratebay, not there on the private trackers I have. Just recently, was searching for moonwalker version of MJ's Smooth Criminal video, and it was not there on any private tracker I have, except on Zamunda (88MB), and on Piratebay (228 MB). I DL it from PB, and speed was fine for me. The quality is great.
There are also many FLAC collections there, which are not easily found elsewhere, and even if found on What or Waffles, they have barely a few seeders. As for xvids, no doubt it is good.
Of course, my bias would be, I have a hopeless download speed of 256 Kbps (actual speed of 24 to 28 KB/sec), which must be one of the slowest in the world. So I manage to get speeds of 24 KB/sec on even low seeded torrents on PB which have some 10 seeds or so.
