I like private trackers because they enforce ratios. I download from demonoid at about 80-100KB/s on 'popular' torrents, but usually more like 30-40. I download from my better private trackers consistently at between 900KB/s and 1.3M/s--grabbing a 7gb bluray rip of something takes me less time to download than to watch, and if my connection were faster (which they will be once Qwest gets fiber in my neighborhood...come to papa, 40mbps down, 20mpbs up!), the downloads would be, too.
Granted, some stuff I don't have good private sites for yet (trashy reality shows), but once I do, I won't use demonoid for anything.

Also, cheggit.net, now that TFP is porn-free. Most definitely NSFW.

Yep. He has cox, and has gotten C&D'd four times. IIRC, they were over Iron Man, Pineapple Express, Chronicles of Narnia and something else...Entourage maybe?
