but it doesnt give me more peers
the site is lying about its peers, and i going have that opinion until someone give me proof that i doesnt

@61 & @62:there is only one tracker in the torrent-file, can you specify the torrent who is missing!!

http://whois.domaintools.com/files24.com

try and sue this MAFIAA

oh, wait it is not, no one is seeding

you can add IMDb to torrentroot, which allows any search engine to be added to its meta-search..

site: torrentroot.com

goto “options” and “Set custom search engine” then add

site name: IMDb
site address: http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=

after setting this option you can see the IMDb page along with the torrent reults… hopes this helps people who want like the idea of a IMDb/Torrent mashup

Here’s the one I tried;

Anyone care to explain why a site that’s only been up for a couple days claims that a torrent has 100x more peers than it actually does?

It also doesn’t mention the language, so it’s probably the same screwed up English/German copy that’s on every other site…

They certainly are violating TOS of imdb coz, they need permission from imdb even for linking. which I doubt they will get with their site head deep in copyright infringement and TOS violation, and internet fraud in terms of US law. If they are really in US, they must start running for their lives or spend rest of life fighting in court. Amazon and mafiaa both have lotta money to haunt the site owners if they want to pursue it.

And how exactly do they conclude…
“We track which country users come from and the tracker then gives priority to peers from their own country. As a result users can download at much higher speeds,”

You should let the clients do this business, and pass all the known peers. This scheme can save money for network/bandwidth providers, but with people using different types of connections, you can’t guess who will give good speed unless you check by downloading it yourself.

Are they also downloading from peers to check their speed?

Same thing for torrent sites. A site operating its own tracker is better than a site that does only indexing.

So more heads (i.e. more trackers) = EPIC WIN for Hydra (i.e Bittorrent)

YOU! fail even more. it was not supposed to be a direct imitation of the the beak. go back to watching freakazoid lol.

Probably the result is the same, but the navigation, way of presenting data, etc. is completely different.

Although this site is very practical in finding the best copyrighted movies, I hope for this guys that they’re somewhere where nobody will find them.

In fact it does not seem to be important if you link to infringing content, distribute torrents which link to something on something at users computer – everything is being handled as copyright infringement at all by the copyright people. Due to this I think it’s understandable that someone jsut does its best to provide the best funcionality cause the chances to deny a strategy for copyright infringements is very low nowadays – he will get threaten anyway, regardless how the site will be structured – but he’s going to provide users a good experience during the time his site is up and running.

An advise would be to NOT put advertisement on the site.

no… I’m pretty sure the general public thinks of bittorrent as the ultimate piracy tool… library doesn’t really come to mind for most people when you mention bittorrent sadly

I have seen this feature before in public sites like http://leakz.net (and they provide content info for movies/games/music/software on their search results pages, and they have a database 1000 times bigger) and http://kickasstorrents.com (shows details of the movies too and is 100 times bigger than this site) and not to mention mininova and torrentleech and a bagful of private sites.

This site feels too too limited for me. Its already been done before many times over.

In any case, h33t guy has a point there. Or rather several points.

However, the site does make it easier for the regular p2p user to experience stuff he wouldn’t be able to normally. Example: if you like an actor, Chuck Norris for simplicity sake, and you search on files 24 for stuff he did and you didn’t know about Texas Ranger.

Wow, you think, let us check this. Then you like it and go buy because it’s the most freakin awesome thing you’ve seen in your life. Then you find out that Norris starred a movie alongside Bruce Lee and decide to check on Bruce Lee…. and so on. The money making potential of this is huge, if there is a decent online store with sane prices where you can find the content, obviously.

That brings us back to the base issue: the media industry is failing to work with its consumers.

Sad really, it looks like a nice site with a decent collection of torrents.. i’m downloading a couple as we speak but as far as peer priority goes, i’m in australia and downloading from someone in bulgaria, on the other side of the world. Quite funny actually because i’m of bulgarian decent :D

Props to the site, Boo for no DHT :|

sweet

According to reports as long as nobody put an ad on the thing everything goes :)

Spaniards have a real chance at bringing home a lot of business based on servers.

“bringing online a site designed specifically to share only copyrighted content is a bad needed move”

There is a tiny bit of a hypocrisy here. For example h33t might be considered as partially designed to facilitate copyright infringement (“PSP” category is a good example,there’re no “legal” officially-supported public domain games).

My point is that there’s no ultimate right or wrong here, shady business that is. Still, bringing online a site designed specifically to share only copyrighted content is a bad move.

@h33t: http://bitsnoop.com/tv/shows/Survivor/19/ – haha! :)

the result of the mininova civil trial in The Netherlands was to confirm once again that torrent sites and trackers are not illegal in The Netherlands but the Judge said if the site operators participate in moderation of uploads then they must filter copyright content. furthermore, the defense of the mininova team was that it is technically impossible to filter links to copyright content on the basis of uploader data alone and the Judge then ruled that the copyright holders must provide the mininova team with the missing data they need to perform the filter

file24 is different from mininova, h33t and most torrent sites because the operator has designed a system that explicitly and automatically identifies uploads as linking to copyright content (regardless of whether or not the torrent actually contains a copyrighted work, remember that the system never sees the content). the file24 operators are stating that they believe the content to be copyrighted, they have designed a system that says it has copyright content regardless of the truth of the fact

operating a torrent site legally is a responsibility the site owners owe to the community to ensure the safety of filesharers. when we see developments in filesharing we want to see that care has been taken not to ensnare filesharers in systems which are inherently dangerous, not simply to the operators themselves, but not a liability to the greater community as a whole

we all know about honeypot sites created to log filesharer activity and identify big uploaders and sources of content (such sites are generally no longer used to identify downloaders since the RIAA and MPAA stopped chasing individuals). i am not saying file24 is a honeypot but the system as it stands is as close to the functionality of a honeypot as you can get. if the file24 dudes are genuine filesharers they will recognise the inherent danger of such a system not only for the people who use it but significantly because it is as Carefully Watching says above “purposely attacking copyright”

politically it is a bad bad move that gives ammunition to the anti-p2p who falsely claim that bittorrent is the protocol of piracy. at a time when the filesharing issue is high on the agendas of national governments in Europe it is a deeply stupid move to attack copyright in such a brazen manner
