After being spammed with takedown request from several companies, ELiTE-TEAM, a French private BitTorrent tracker recently asked several torrent indexers to remove their torrents, and not to accept any new ones. Unfortunately their effort is doomed to …

It seems as if people like the attention that posting releases gets them but aren’t willing to even put a few minutes of work in to get it.

Actually, it does. While the referenced files have their own hash, the torrent file itself also has its own hash. Most all tracker software can remake uploaded torrents, however, which is how services like ISOhunt can include many trackers in a torrent that originally only had one. If you install something like BNBT Easytracker on your home system, you’ll find options to add a certain tracker to all uploaded torrents, or modify them in certain ways.

More drama, please. The community owes them nothing, you see. Let the facts speak for themselves. First, they ran a private tracker which hardly helped the community as a whole. Second, they called themselves “elite” and it’s hard to think of a more vainglorious (read: disrepspectful towards others) name. Third, they were unable to sort out their private affairs and requested others to do the job for them.

Sharing is caring and I honestly can’t seee how these guys cared for anyone but themselves.

Besides, there are two types of people: those with the will to work and fight (TPB for example) and those who go down. ET went down. R.I.P.

too bad:( ;(

most private trackers have rules like that, however, users often dont obey them, and some even go so far as to make second accounts, seed a bit to get a reasonable ratio so they arent flagged up, and then set about dumping as many torrents as they can on pubs…they think its good for promo for the private sites, although if anything it worsens the general users perception of BT as they dont understand the politics of private sites etc… and are upset when they are unable to get the torrent they wanted to download, simple as that

somehow I can’t help myself but I dislike the spin the article tries to put on this. Nearly all privat trackers prohibit spreading their torrents to other trackers/indexers. If you are part of such a community you should respect that. Plus there is no purpose of putting the torrents on public trackers, the key will get blocked and no one getting the torrent from an outside indexer will get any peers from the private tracker. At least if the admins are not total monkeys. Thus I gues someone tries to get back at the admins of the tracker, because it only gives them exposure, without any benefits for other filesharers not being member of the private tracker.

Why don’t you have a nice big cup of STFU, a$$hole.
