EZTV Now Accessible Under New Domain Names

In the wake of the OiNK takedown, many thousands of people started to panic today when they tried to access EZTV and instead got directed to Google. But there is no need to worry, EZTV is alive and well and now available via two new domains.

eztv tv torrent distribution group

It’s understandable why the BitTorrent community feels a bit jittery this week after the shock demise of the OiNK tracker, particularly when another top site seemingly disappeared today.

Back in March we described EZTV as ‘the leading TV-torrent distribution group’ so when people tried to access www.eztvefnet.org today and got simply directed back to Google, panic started to creep in.

Luckily, this error is the result of some administrative issues and EZTV is alive, well and offering this message to their users:

Due to some misunderstandings during the transfers of domains relating to EZTV, the domain www.eztvefnet.org has been temporarily lost and now appears to redirect to a google query for EZTV. While we are working on resolving this issue, please be advised that there are alternative domains leading to our site – www.eztv.it and www.eztv.nl

NovaKing, admin at EZTV told TorrentFreak: “We are currently having some dns issues with eztvefnet.org so would like to inform our loyal fans that we prefer for people to start using the shorter easier to remember domain names!”

    Sounds like this has something to do with the previous aticle’s mention that google provides links to pirited content.

    EZTV and VTV are colossal scumbags, why do they think they are entitled to add their names to releases just because they know how to run two commands?

    We’re better off if idiot poseur groups like them get raided and lose their internet privileges.

    Complete scum.

  • wow

    EZTV are NOT just puting their names in files you IDIOT ^^^^
    They distribute them if you didnt know. Wonder why you get such good speeds at eztv? They have about a hundred users with high upload and that is why YOU are a scumbag.

  • Anonymous

    EZTV is a DISTRIBUTION GROUP! They seed the files if you so dumb to call them scumbags retard

    access demonoid through stealthfinder if in Canada.

  • SantaBJ

    Yes, us distributing entertainment to the masses without getting any compensation at all for it definately makes us colossal scumbags.

    We never take any honour for the ripping / capping / packing / whatever of the shows. We always leave the cap groups’ names in the releases, and NEVER add our own except in the torrent file itself (we would be idiots if we didn’t). Frankly, I’m getting tired of this argument…

    Anyway, yes, some slight DNS issues going on. Hoping to get them resolved soon.

    Hey, Mister Anonymous, if you think that EZTV is such a bunch of scum bags go back to Limewire. You’re probably a leeching piece of shit who doesn’t know the first thing about The Scene, Groups, Rules, etc. We don’t want your kind near our sites, so stay away.

    I will say this, despite this recent hiccup, EZTV has been more reliable to access than all of the topsites I’ve ever used (Though the speeds leave something to be desired, especially with people like Anonymous leeching constantly). So, keep up the good work guys.

    Downloaded files contain only the release group…
    Plus, EZTV don’t have ads or any “donation” button… which makes them kinda more respectable than most of the torrent websites. Yep, that’s right, the admins of EZTV lose money because of the server costs and all, and don’t have (nor ask) anything in return.

    You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about!!! EZTV is the top not the bottom because unlike Usenet, it’s free. If you want to download superfast via newsgroups, you need to pay money for that privilege! Private sites suck–I know from first hand knowledge being a member of scenemachine & torrentleech. Especially scenemachine, they don’t have enough members and I don’t download much from them anymore because you must seed back to 1:1 or keeping seeding for 48 hours even if there are no leechers! So for example I just wanted to see what would happen if I downloaded the latest episode of ‘The Hills’; I couldn’t even get close to seeding back to 1, I had to keep my computer on for a lousy 48 hours–that costs money (paying more for my electric bill) & for what?

    The same goes for torrentleech, in that most times I can seed back to one but I NEED seed back every single time I download anything–again that costs me money in the end! EZTV is great in that if I don’t want to seed back to one every single TV program I download, I don’t have to–that saves me money! If I’m downloading 5 TV torrents off of EZTV and when I’m done, if I’ve seed maybe 3 back to one and 2 others back to maybe 60% or 70 %, I turn off my computer!!! I’m under no obligation to keep my computer on and wait until every single torrent I’ve downloaded is seeded back to 100%!!

    You also say EZTV is not very fast–yah maybe if you’re on dial-up! I’m on high-speed, if I set my uTorrent for unlimited download speed and 60kB/s upload speed, I average easily 150 kB/s as my download speed! But I’ve gone as high as 400 kB/s download speed with EZTV–so what the hell are you talking about?

    Also you say EZTV is not very safe? In what way, are you having unprotected sex while you download? There’s no viruses attached, there’s no spyware attached, these files are strictly AVI’s; you download them and then you play them–simple. There’s no RAR’s to unpack, so there’s never any torrents packed with password protected files, where you need to go to a site and pay to get a password. By the way those people are professional thieves, even if they charge a $1 to get a password, if you pay by credit card, there’s nothing stopping them from selling your credit card number on the Internet!

    So where are you getting your information that EZTV isn’t good or it isn’t safe?

    Also what I love about EZTV is you can search for a TV show and they’ll have lots of past active torrents to download from past episodes. And once again so many people are seeding and leeching past episodes that the download speed for past episodes are just as fast or are even sometimes faster than the current episodes for the same show. A perfect example for me is that I’ve recently gotten into MythBusters and I’ve downloaded most of this past season via EZTV–there’s lots of people still sharing these torrents!

    I also like EZTV’s TV news, the calender, and I especially like it’s unique countdown list that it provides; other P2P, private torrents and Usenet services don’t provide these things!

    So…you were saying about EZTV…what–you kind of lost me at the word ‘not’!

    The word “calender” should be “calendar” and the word “it’s” should be “its”; I’m now proofreading my back-up copy. It’s 4:45 AM EST, I had trouble sleeping, I’m now going back to bed–good night!

    Heh, 150 or 400 isn’t exactly high-speed. That being said though, I’ve hit my practical max throughput (3.2MBps) several times downloading from there. It all depends on how fast you get on and who’re actually seeding. Generally, if I get on within minutes of the link being posted I get great speeds – wait too long and the original seed is gone leaving a lot of hit’n'runners.

    Private torrent sites aren’t the top either. Private FTP’s are. Only an idiot would say public bittorrent is better then private FTP.

  • Kal-El

    thanks for the information! i was freak out! i visit eztv’s web site every day.

  • lol @ Davy

    By “not safe” original Anonymous probably meant that it’s not safe because EZTV uses bittorrent, which is a p2p. Anyone can connect to the public server and get a list of ip’s of who’s downloading particular show and then sue them. The fact(or fiction) that no one does it doesn’t mean that EZTV is 100% safe…

    Personally I use EZTV only for informational purposes. I look which shows come out then go to newzbin and download them from newsgroups. Also you mentioned that you have to pay for the privilege of using newsgroups. All true. Ever heard of expression “you get what you pay for”?

    Private FTPs are truly the fastest way to get episodes. I know of some private IRC channels with bots that serve episodes sometimes 30m-1h faster then they show up on bt/usenet. I don’t use irc though, it’s too slow for me >_>

    i’m not gonna claim to be an expert or site owner or anything special, just a person using a touch of reason. Have you ever consideded that if you are downloading at unlimited bandwidth and limiting your upload YOU are the reason the torrent is slow. The swarm depends on everyone pulling their weight and not leeching or it slows down. Heck, I’ve even heard of trackers that limit the info they send you based on an optimistic algorithim that factors how much you are sharing versus how long you’ve been in the swarm (neat idea as it limits leeches to slower dls without effecting those more willing to “play well with others”). Either way, and whatever non-standard tracker code may or may not be running, I just wish people wouldn’t complain about dl speed while admitting to limiting their upload!!!!
