bouche Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Mininova Deletes All Infringing Torrents and Goes ‘Legal’This is TERRIBLE news! This is where I go when an tv episode wasn't recorded because football pre-empted the broadcast, or other unforeseen circumstances.For some reason, i though mininova was untouchable.

bouche Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 At least with tv shows, most of the torrents pointed to releases by http://eztv.itI can still use that anyway. another winner for rapidshares is http://www.zerosec.ws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 fuck. good thing i caught up with a bunch of DLs yesterday. A lot of their stuff comes from eztv. Guess that I'll be going straight there from now on. they were down for a while a few weeks ago though. not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 No big loss to me, between the adware/spyware & miscellaneous viruses that sometimes pop up at that site, or the mislabeled torrents (eg: not english, not the whole show, not the show at all etc.) I stayed clear of it for the last few years.I'll watch shows hosted online, through websites like tvshack or I'll download torrents from places like EZTV.

jon. Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 the peer to peer days are numbered i'm afraid.a "friend" of mine may have downloaded a really current movie and may have gotten an official warning from rogers - who was contacted by columbia pictures....soon the nasty fines will be flying in canada...luckily no one gives a shit about jam music....except for bob weir....and phish maybe, but they are too busy counting their money these days....

bouche Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 peer to peer is not going to die.... that is a technology that can be acheived in so many ways. right now, there is one protocol that's accepted. Bittorrent is not going away, but the trackers that publicly track certain content are being targeted. But for every one of those, there are countless other private trackers.The rapidshare, megaupload, megashares, superduperuploadshare sites are working fine right now. I'm going to bet that in a couple of years, they'll start enforcing filtering on those servers. Curiously, they actually host the files so I can't believe they aren't targets yet.Hulu is one example of a legitimate solution to this problem, however it is not available to anyone outside of the US. In the case that one misses a show of which they pay for via their cable subscription, they can watch it on-demand online, for free...so long as they live in the US. The biggest factor right now in limiting downloads and sharing is the bandwidth capping and port filtering. Since private torrent sites require a 1:1 ratio, that hits hard on the bandwidth allotment for most subs. That's not an issue if you can find what you need in a cloud hosting service like megashare/rapidshare. One just needs to leech.ok, enough nerdiness from me on this topic. anyone else care to chime in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
