I'm on a private tracker. It doesn't have the selection of other places, but for anything recent it is by far the fastest downloads.

I used to use demonoid,well, before it got shutdown

Always wanted a Oink account, but it also got shutdown ;-(

I've gone through my fair share of torrent/ed2k/emule sites (Favorite was way back when sharereactor was big, loved that damn site)

I actually now use hdbits, which is totally awesome. Its another private tracker, but all the content is in HD, so like most movies are around 4-8 gigs, and TV episodes are like 1.4 gigs each. They even rip Blu-ray/HD, but those files are around 25-30 gigs. Great if you have 1080p, but I stick with the 720p stuff. Everyone is worried about ratio and such, so you got files extremely quickly, at least I found as opposed to other sites where older files would suddenly go dead, people would just leech but never share.

Has most of the ones you've mentioned plus some others which i've found useful when my normal site doesn't have something on the upload.
