Spare me with this Furk.net …

No Download Manager Support big suck.

First off 95% of stuff that i searched is not “yet” available.

Second. The stuff that is available does not have good speed. My connection is 4MB. In firs minute or so i get full download speed 450KB/s. After that minute it goes to 100KB/s at best. Sometimes is 120KB/s but thats rare. Thats pretty much the speed i get from torrents so i see no need to replace my free torrent service. Plus download cant be paused or resumed. No thanks.

Your service sucks. Your customer service is no where to be seen. And your service (for pay) is horribly fucking slow.

Direct hosting of copyrighted material, accessible for everyone = illegal.

The end.

b) Furk should include the original .torrent file in their RAR download, enabling those who wish to support swarms to do so.

Where is it? Click where?

It easy can be proven by simple search of a few years old torrent where you can see comments from all the torrent sites dated back in 2006 or so including dead torrentspy.

Beside furk.net there are several similar projects around.

The only difference Furk.net has the search feature.

As for English misspelling. Well no one of us is a native speaker and we didn’t bothered yet to find a proofreader. Will be fixed soon.

I agree, what the fuck is going on. Why would torrentfreak advertise a honey pot? Unless…..

No, it’s not fine. The whole concept is bad. Why would you want to draw traffic away from P2P networks. They barely have enough seeders as it is. Suppose lots of leechers and seeders drop thepiratebay for this Furk thing, then Furk shuts down, now what? we lose potentially millions of files which then have to be re-seeded and uploaded. This idea is bad regardless of whether it’s a honey pot (which it is).

e.g.

1. Who the furk is Ernesto/Enigmax?

2. How is (s)he qualified to write seriously on the subject of BT/sharing and its legalities?

3. What’s the budget, who pays for this site and how?

4. What is Ernesto/Enigmax’s cut from this operation?

I can’t find this link anywhere.
I even tried google search: “site:www.furk.net privacy policy” 1 result, same page.
And….bad grammar? Confusing at least. wtf

Then they keep referring to the Privacy Policy:

“you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the applicable privacy policy) of certain information described in the privacy policy, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by Furk.net and its affiliates.”

“Personal information collected by Furk.net may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Furk.net or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.”

Absolute shit.

Ever heard of something called possession of stolen goods?

” I just tried the site and it works fine and what most people say is wrong isn’t true.

1. I don’t get popups (or blocked popups in my case)

2. They don’t limit the size of transfers.”

Then why did it tell me that the max size of my allowed files was 200MB and that I had 200MB disk space available? I tried to add a 700MB torrent and it wouldn’t let me.

Consider the following, you combine a courier service with public storage. The courier is sent to pick up a box from outside a supermarket, and place it into storage. The courier isn’t aware of the boxes content, it could be bananas or otherwise. Likewise it could be a legal copy of an obscure Linux Distro that may ordinarily reside on a slow connection, but is now hosted more conveniently.

They are just a service provider.

1. I don’t get popups (or blocked popups in my case)

2. They don’t limit the size of transfers.

3. It pretty much does what it says.

The problems are that it doesn’t really improve upon bittorrent downlods for free users since after the first 25MB it reduces speed to 50KB/s.

It also wasn’t very good for me before that either. (200KB/s) I normally get between 250 – 900KB/s.

I won’t use this service because of that but it is far better then Rapidshare since you don’t have to split your downloads into parts.

look at the source code yourself on my script. 3 lines, the first makes the button actually download, the second changes the text on the button to say “Free download” and the third stops furk.net script changing the button text back to a countdown.

or you can type “javascript:startDownload();” into the browser as another post says.

How long before the door is knocked down and we see “TPB trial re-loaded”

Again compliments Ernesto on a great story!

I tried to cancel my account, but the stupid Javascript tricks they use to make a fancy “Are you sure” popup don’t work for me.

If Furk is reading this, please delete the account “Rekrul”. I don’t intend to ever use your site.

On the other hand if you are like me and don’t use “pirated” software, music or movies and instead look for alternatives this could be a gold mine if it’s not shutdown. You see the industry can’t do nothing to you if you don’t use their precious “products”.

I got sick and tired off this people they can have what is theirs just don’t ask me to buy it because I’m not doing it anymore, I’m not on the treadmill of upgrades anymore, or pay per view and when they are bankrupt they can take a picture of the smirk on my face I’m not feeling sorry for no one that loose their jobs because of this industry.

Anyhow, service is working as advertised, tho I dont like how easily they can be comprosmised and how easily they are willing to give up info based on there privacy policy.

Other than that its not too bad.

516 KB incoming right now
I had about a 54 second wait time
to download the file 22 minutes
to download 641 MB

also you have the comments from the piratebay on the file displayed all 89 of them .

Im liking it. I was going to add a second line (dryloop) to my DSL connection but using this and Btaccel I dont need to

the file deletion thing goes for if you are a member and download something using their seedbox, they will www host it for an unlimited amount of time if you are a paying member, but if you are a free member, 1 month after they download it and host it for you, they will delete the file.
