- robfarrell, on 11/27/2008, -4/+89::sigh:: I'm still missing Demonoid.
- om3ga, on 02/15/2008, -1/+26Lists like this do two things:
1. Create huge numbers of leechers.
2. Alert the industry to new torrent sites, which will then be horrifically short-lived. - piesforyou, on 02/15/2008, -3/+19Don't know what you're fussing about - never had a problem with public sites.
- Sparticuz, on 02/15/2008, -2/+15mmmm...pizzatorrents
- Suricou, on 02/15/2008, -0/+11These arn't even trackers, they are just meta-search sites.
- buddamus, on 02/15/2008, -0/+9Demonoid did rock, RIP
- buddamus, on 02/15/2008, -1/+8You cant stop the signal
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -1/+8adblock you testicle.
- sfacets, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6You're savvy enough to be able to use bit torrent, but not to use ad-blocker? Are you running windows 95?
- kev26, on 02/15/2008, -0/+5"Bit-Tunes is a BitTorrent /iTunes mashup based on the popular blog platform Wordpress." Ohhh awesome - more then 10 users at once and it no workie. Brilliant architecture decision running it on Wordpress.
- Kurlumbenus, on 02/15/2008, -2/+7Coward.
- Levarris, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Yeah really I can see his point but I've never had a problem with public sites either.
- ghinch, on 02/15/2008, -1/+5Um, I think while you are at college is the best time to get sued. You don't have a job to lose, you're young with plenty of time ahead of you, little responsibility, and most likely no large assets to be seized. After college, when you start having a large savings and maybe owning a house, maybe even providing for other people, that's a bad time to get sued.
- aelfwyne, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Looks like Bit-Tunes has been diggified. (dead).
- dupswapdrop, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Hey but when the private sites get busted they get all the users too.
- TechCF, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4NEW and promising... --> NEW
- ortucis, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3YES I CAN.
*pulls the plug*
OH NOES! MY LIFE SUPPORT!.. - inactive, on 02/15/2008, -3/+6Don't kid yourself.
Peer guardian is worthless - forget it. A private site has a log of everything you've downloaded, your ratio, your email address, your IP. There are fewer users so in the even of a raid you can be identified much more easily than on a much larger public tracker. - thelatermonths, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3OiNK had a rule near the end of its life banning discographies. I personally didn't agree with it...I thought they were convenient, but oh well.
- Kurlumbenus, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3Who the hell is your ISP? Hitler?
- betobeto, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3I have had accounts at Oink and what.cd, and as far as private trackers go, they don't really have much of a broad selection for my taste. I've had much better luck finding obscure music I like using Soulseek, for example, and I just hate the snobbish attitude that permeates many of these private trackers. This is something that never happened with Demonoid (and one more reason to truly miss it).
- troye, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3Pirate Hitman, it sucks. Don't waste your money buying the DVD.
- nmc1980, on 02/15/2008, -1/+4Torrents died the day demonoid shut down. time to move on.
Rapidshare and 'the other one' are the only ones i use - taintedzodiac, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3Article's featured sites made useless in -1... -2... -3...
- digidevil, on 02/15/2008, -1/+3i meant unwanted attention from your isp... in the case of mine, when they catch on that you're torrent downloading (because you're not using encryption or peer protection.. and i don't mean peer guardian necessarily, altho i disagree it's worthless if you use the right lists) they severely limit your available bandwidth, and if they know you're downloading illegally, they attempt to corrupt incoming and outgoing data.
using peer protection and encryption generally does stop the problem-- did for me.
in any case, peer protection will generally show you blocked incoming connections-- i recall downloading from piratebay and getting an awwwwwful lot of attention even dowloading legally.. never happens with private sites. - sfacets, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Bit-tunes obviously isn't very promising.
- sweetholymosiah, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Why I love living in Canada
- 80hd, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2I always thought discographies were annoying because there would be times where I have all but one album - and then the damn collections attract all the attention leaving all the albums without seeds.
- 80hd, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2meta searches are spammers best friend.
search: "go ***** yourself"
results.....
Looking for go ***** yourself?
download go ***** yourself!
meet go ***** yourself tonight! etc etc... - aelfwyne, on 02/15/2008, -2/+4Dunno, new stuff I use closed sites such as FL and TB, but for the older junkola, I don't have any problem with the public sites. Usually just as fast as using eMule for anything popular... Unpopular stuff - well, the Mule is still better.
- cliffski, on 02/15/2008, -4/+5more torrentfreak spam
- lengau, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1That's sometimes a problem, but it generally works out okay with a Bittorrent client that can download only certain files.
- antdude, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1But not for rare stuff.
- steveyu85, on 02/15/2008, -1/+2I think I stick with piratebay , mininova and other old players.
- TritonX, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Throttle your upload at around 60-80% of it's maximum capacities and you shouldn't notice any slowdown.
- LocalDocal, on 02/15/2008, -1/+2For starters, there is no real protection for the pirater. Secondly, I must admit that I hate private sites on some level (while loving it on another).
On a public site, I download something at good speeds, and I'll generally finished uploading (1:1) a few hours after I finish downloading. Sometimes, I'll even finished before hand, and get a 2:1 ratio (because the upload speed is always high). However, on private sites, I finish downloading shockingly fast, then I end up uploading an entire damn week because everybody and their mother is trying to upload too, and my upload speed goes down to a crawling 10KB/s.
Of course, some don't care, but I kind of do since I would rather not have my web surfing slow down to a crawl (due to me uploading) for an entire week. There's a reason why I switched to broad band from dial up. - dawnvito, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1pizzatorrent rocks !!
- Philosomatika, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1this list fails to meet my porn needs
- 80hd, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1I hate word press so ***** much.
Seriously, how ***** hard could it be to integrate high traffic modes into wordpress?!
It's like the logic of the program goes like this- "Hey I'm getting slammed with traffic, Hmm maybe I should cache one of the pages to conserve resources... Nah forget that repeatedly grabbing the same information from databases never causes problems. Clearly if the comments can't be updated in real time then nobody will even want to see any part of the page." - LocalDocal, on 02/17/2008, -0/+0It is already at 80% and before you say it, yes, I did look at the FAQ for this problem already, and it did not work.
- cliffski, on 02/15/2008, -2/+2yes because being sued for copyright infringement will not affect your future employment chances at all. hahahahahahaha. Such things are easily checked by big employers.
- secleinteer, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1Have you tried private sites? I thought the same thing until I tried them, and I'd never go back to public sites now.
- TechCF, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1Wordpress based. Doesn't handle traffic very well....
- Kurlumbenus, on 02/15/2008, -2/+2RIAA shill itt
