This is a great analysis of the site. I have now written my own review over at www.crenk.com

Sorry about that CalcProgrammer, we’ve just been online for a week or two.

h33t I’m not sure how safety if of concern, please check your linux distributions MD5 after downloading, they’re the same.

Also you are just as anonymous using this as if you were using a PC client.

What many of the concerned security freaks don’t understand is they have to get the torrent file anyways and thus the ISP is still aware they’ve been downloading torrents.

This way, you need not even download the torrent file it self, you can simply use its Mininova ID or URL.

Happy Relaying!

Wish I would’ve known this LAST WEEK! I was in New York for Band Tour and I had my PDA (hotels have free WiFi, I have WiFi enabled PDA with web browser, I have a 15 hour bus-ride home where I could use some new music…you get the point).

unsafe – relay of torrents through a centralized server system *ouch*

uneconomical – identical issue with VPS and TOR relays, cannot be operated on a free basis

Sorry to the poster above, but this site doesn’t receive any funding and is entirely funded out of pocket.

I have yet to get a single donation through the site, but perhaps that will change though the help of users!

Clearly the site has become very popular and in the near future perhaps we can afford some serious upgrades.

Donate via the link found on the main page to get rid of the ‘too busy’ message!

This post is useless the I’ve been trying to connect for days and I always get an error “The server’s too busy at the moment, please try again in a few minutes. Please consider a donation”

Yet another good idea flawed by poor execution!

Great work mate!!

Now I can see the kind of speed the torrents really go at, my ISP must be capping my torrents big time!

I stopped using torrents ages ago because they where so slow, but by the looks of it it’s just me, so I will start using this, and see how it goes.

Keep it up Kevin!

Don’t know if anyone can help here but i just cant get torrent to download on my N82 anymore. It used to work fine using opera mini and symtorrent but the torrent link will either time out or say error when i go to save it… is it the telephone companies that are blocking it or a device problem?

I have updated to the most current firmware today, reset the phone and still no change…

Thanks for all the positive comments from some of the readers here at Torrent Freak!

The site AUTOMATICALLY SEEDS as the torrent downloads and provides EQUAL DOWNLINK AND UPLINK SPEEDS.

I’m a fan of torrents, so it would only be fair to have a net zero usage when joining torrents.

The 400 MB cap is in good order, a 700 MB torrent spends an outrageously long time on our servers.

Some comments aren’t deserved, this was designed specifically and does provide torrents to those who cannot download them due to platform restrictions.

Thanks guys!

God creates man to combat boredom

man destroys god

man creates the internet to combat boredom

content downloading overtaxes the interwebs

Man creates bittorrent to redistribute the bandwidth load

Man’s handheld devices do not talk bittorent making it impossible for them to get at the bulk of available online content

TorrentRelay creates a web enabled bittorrent client allowing mans devices to get at an otherwise unavailable content resource

Instant success of torrentRelay reredistributes the bandwidth of all the torrent downloads to just one server site
…

I think next step on the list is to resurrect God right.

kudos

more developer time wasted … if you really need to control your torrents on the go, us utorrent webgui like pointed out above, but there’s absolutely no point in running a torrent client on any mobile device, N95, iphone, or whatever.

ron burgandy — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:35:47 +0000

well maybe for phones, but why would I download with a Wii/PS3? I’m certain anyone who has one (or an iPhone or N95) can afford a computer… so it’s sort of usless. And would the sheer cost of internet on moble devices make it unfeasable…

Reverse engineering the BT protocol?
Seriously?

I know the official site is a little lacking in docs, but that’s why wiki.theory.org has it’s own section on the protocol.

I just checked them out and they’re actually located in Canada. I don’t see how its illegal in comparison to ImageShack thats actually located in the U.S.

“The server will temporarily buffer the entire contents of the file prior to sending it to you.”

Am I correct in assuming that this means that TorrentRelay stores the files on THEIR server for a short while?

Not to be a party-pooper, but this has lawsuit written all over it.

err… the PS3 runs linux, so you can run most bittorrent clients there too, maybe with some recompiling.

By: confuced

confuced — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:38:17 +0000

does this download onto the device? or what?

if so, why would you want this?

just use torrentflux or utorrent webgui.

1) wow… you don’t know what an iphone is?

2) no one cares if you’re first

3) and just incase you didn’t know how to google, an iphone is a phone made by Apple and available currently in the US, carried by AT&T.

how, exactly, is this much different from the imageshack developments?

Torrentrelay stores the torrent information in their server, and so does imageshack.

I think this is awesome, but I’m just not clear on the differentiation between the two.
