Unlike membership sites a public bittorrent tracker provides torrent files to for anybody to download.
Because these bittorrent public trackers don’t track your downloads so they don’t have any requirements for you to seed the file once you have downloaded it. They ask you to, but it is not enforced. There is no membership and downloads are slower.
Because bittorrent public trackers are open to everybody, hit and Runs are a fact of life when users disconnect after downloading their file without uploading their share to the community. This means that downloading a file from a Public BitTorrent site is often slower when compared to membership based BitTorrent sites.
Another thing to watch out for on bittorrent public trackers is just about anybody can upload a file onto some of these sites so scan everything with a virus scanner before you open it. The additional problem that this brings is that the file lists include official scene releases and non scene releases and sometimes working out which is the best quality files to download is quite difficult.
There are hundreds of other BitTorrent public trackers but these are consistently the best options available and when combined with a few of the private membership sites you will have all bases covered.
