I am 25. Weight – 57 kg. The length of my hair is ’6-7 inches above waist’.
I have thin hair. My scalp is dry. Every time i comb my hair, i notice great loss of hair.
I put oil after and before every head wash. Also i massage very gently.
Currently using Parachute therapy oil.
There is no specific time/season of hair loss in my case.
I don’t remain depressed/tensed about anything. I am a very easy going and fun loving person. I am healthy physically as well as mentally. I eat all vegetables, I drink milk every morning. I love to eat fresh fruits. Basically i am north-indian, working in mumbai in Siemens currently. But i don’t think that my hair loss problem is coz of place/water change coz i had the same problem in north too when i was staying there. Its not hereditary also. Its been years that i am suffering from this problem. Its first time i am posting my query to you and will be really grateful to you if i will get a genuine reply from your side.
Please suggest ! Thank you.

I love MVGroup and have been a member there for about 3 years.

The only minor gripe I have is the site is a bit confusing to the newcomer. Other than that it’s a super site.

Having no ratio on some sites means that people don’t stick around and seed but MV Group is a bit different in my experience.

I think because most of the users of MV Group are more mature and pro-community than the typical PirateBay user is, even tho its not enforced that members keep seeding their downloaded torrents people still seem to do it.

Hey Merrin- MVGroup IS the best site for documentaries, no question about it. IMO, it is a class act- members are friendly and helpful and there is material that sometimes you can’t find anyplace else. I’m going through a little withdrawal so I will be happy to see the site back. And as for ratio nonsense, bah! Through the adoption program or reseeding, you get everything you need.

ajay — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:34:34 +0000

MVGroup has always been the best & is still the best for quality stuff! i’m not aware of any other site where you find these kind of collections. if MVGroup is in need of donations, I’ll be glad to put in a bit – maybe not huge amounts, but definitely smaller amounts, from time to time.

While the MVG tracker is down, people with Usenet access can get a lot of items posted there (and enjoy top speeds).

A quick search finds lots of items :

http://www.nzbindex.nl/index.php?go=search&searchitem=MVGroup&age=30&results=25&sort=age_desc&min_size=100&showmoreinfo=1

With all the abuse of power from ISPs in Canada and elsewhere nowadays, Usenet is becoming the best way to go. ;-)

on post #51, Joli asks what is the link?

The MVG forums are at http://forums.mvgroup.org – but still not up at this moment.

Anyone not familiar with the titles hosted on MVG tracker can take a look at Mininova for a list :

http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=MVgroup

… returns 500 titles (and there’s a lot more).

Glad to know about the move to a better host. The old one was overpriced, imo.

MVG torrents are usually posted at Mininova and other sites. It’s a great place for documentaries and educational material, plus the user community is top notch, intelligent people. ;-)

This is a huge relief. I’ve been going to MVGroup for a few years now and loved the site from the start. A great collection of documentaries and a great community spirit. Just a few weeks ago I finally donated for the first time and the site vanished. Thought it was bad omen or something :)

I was worried. MVGroup is the best tracker around. But it’s totally awesome to hear that it’s going tobe up again.

Actually login page seems to be “working” already but login fails.

So server is up and running. Just site needs some tuning. ;)

Anti-Piracy Blunder Shuts Down BitTorrent Tracker…

A large BitTorrent tracker dealing only in documentaries has been shutdown after an anti-piracy company wrongfully identified content being tracked by the site. The 150,000 member site, which has had just “one mildly upset” copyright-related email …

Yet another example of the kinds of collateral damage that will become ever more common as the legacy copyright monopolies get ever more desperate. The same pattern occurred during alcohol prohibition, and was arguably one of the primary reasons it was repealed. The costs to society of both the enforcement efforts and the market corruption it caused far exceeded any benefit claimed by the prohibitionists.

The legacy duplication and distribution industries are fighting a dooms-day end of *their* world campaign where any and all means are justified in the defense of *their* interests. From their perspective this may be valid since losing will mean the end of those parts of the legacy industry that fail to adapt to the digital marketplace. Worst of all is that this aggressive no-holds-barred defense is doomed to failure since it seeks to hold back the irresistible tide of technological change.

The legacy duplication and distribution industries are intent on repeating the insanity of “we had to destroy the village in order to save it”. Only this time the “village” being destroyed is our free society, and the cause we are being “saved” from is technological progress.

Seems to me this issue is far larger than music and movies.

[quote comment="355943"]Of course the carry copyrighted material. Virtually every BBC DVD is ripped and on that site, how is that not breaking copyright. there are also rips of the BBC Connections series from james Burke. That is definitely available commercially at the tune of about $60 per DVD box set. To pretend that there are no copyright violations is simply BS. I’m speaking from someone who has an account at MVGROUP.ORG[/quote]
I believe material provided for educational purposes is not subject to copyright issues. What’s your problem?
