isoHunt Launches ‘Social’ BitTorrent Site

In a time where torrent sites are being chased by the entertainment industries and despite its dealings with the MPAA and CRIA in court, isoHunt has launched a brand new torrent site. With Hexagon.cc the Hexagon team aims to revolutionize people’s sharing experience.

hexagonFor years most torrent sites have shared a similar layout where torrents are listed in several fixed categories designated by the site’s owners. Hexagon.cc opts to do things differently.

“The main difference that sets Hexagon.cc apart from other social file sharing and BitTorrent sites, is everything is centered around groups. Be it file sharing networks or flash video sites, a key piece we found missing is social context,” isoHunt’s founder Gary Fung said.

With Hexagon Fung hopes to bridge this gap by allowing people to start groups where they can share content within a certain niche. These groups help to organize content and allow people to share with others who are interested in the same material, privately or in public.

In addition Hexagon is also aimed at content producers and independent artists who want to promote their content using BitTorrent. For this group Hexagon offers monetization opportunities such as direct “fan” contributions and sharing of advertising revenue.

“We have contacts with game publishers and independent musicians and film makers, who are very interested in creating their own groups where they can directly market their music, videos or games and interact with their fans, and generate sales directly or indirectly,” Fung said.

Hexagon is certainly not your average torrent site and we must admit that it took us a while to fully grasp the new sharing interface. That aside, it is great to see that some people are still innovating and trying to improve the BitTorrent sharing experience.

The Hexagon team is offering 500 invites for TorrentFreak readers who want to give Hexagon a spin, so you can decide for yourself. Update, here are 3000 more invites. And 10.000 extra just in case…

    We tried this in The Netherlands with our Tribler initiative at the Technical University of Delft.

    Turns out people are not really interested in chit-chat but are really after pirated content. They’ll visit other sites for the social networking element.

  • h33t

    nice one Gary. the concept of groups combined with torrent permissions is gonna be HUGE once people realise what they can do with it. i predict an avalanche of new sites each with a different take on the basic premise of self-moderating social planets ;-)

    @ Johan Pouwelse sorry to hear about your woes with Tribler

    “chit-chat” is that what you think social networking is? take another look at the new system, play with it, let your imagination open up to something that is gonna revolutionise filesharing. Fung is the first to get this model released but i know a dozen groups who are working on the same idea. all of us who have looked in depth at the model are simply amazed by the scope for innovation, identity and creative society, latent within such a structure

    none of the big social sites permitted filesharing due to their being US based and their stockholder ties to big interest media companies. watch what is gonna happen when the kids upstairs in their bedrooms take an opensource myspace/youtube/facebook/twitter clone and add a torrent plugin

    http://www.h33t.com who loves the Fung initiative

  • hmm

    nicely put together site. looks very promising! i can see this exploding. 10/10 gary :)

  • rawr

    Tribler was a dire piece of software that never worked quite right. If you think p2p folk don’t like chit chat, you should have a look at isoHunt forums, Demonoid forums, frostwire’s irc channel and the numerous irc channels for emule. Tribler didn’t fail because people don’t like to chat, it failed because it was crap.

  • knux

    Pretty cool idea, though I’m sick of the “Social Experiments” about now… One problem plagues the site, a bot by the name of HexRoot. It floods the groups with torrents from IsoHunt and most of them don’t have seeds to be worth anything! Kinda sloppy…

  • Rathens

    signed up and i quite like it :)

  • IH

    thanks h33t. And for Johan, what’s different about Hexagon isn’t really about the chit-chat but the ability to very easily create groups, distribute moderation tasks and finely control permissions on making your group public or private. One thing demonstrated from Facebook and what I’ve understood before is when you let people share privately (or semi-privately), people are willing to share a lot more. Social context and interests also encourage relevant sharing.

    And we did a fair amount of work with associating shared content with Semantic Web resources, which is fairly ground breaking in my opinion. I’ll write a post on isohunt.com or facebook on these in detail

    @IH, H33T, … Tribler next upcoming version will include group creation-like features. The Tribler version will be crafted without the requirement of a central server bottleneck.

  • gabord
  • ZaCloud

    Oddly, despite how very different this is from anything I’ve ever been to… It feels perfectly natural for me! The moment I joined, the options were all there right in front of me, and I was able to start taking advantage of them right away. Making use of the features feels as natural to me as various other sites I’ve been using for years.

    It’s amazing! But I have to say that from an outside observant perspective, because it doesn’t FEEL amazing while I use it… It just feels “natural” and “normal”! Which is why it’s amazing! LOL, I bet only two people will understand what I mean…

    But yes. I hate Twitter, I hate Facebook/MySpace. But I can totally dig this. When you’re sharing personal creations, Hexagon just plain does the things I’ve wanted sites to do without even realizing it.

    If it isn’t a honeypot meets Facebook(TM), I’m not sure what it. For those of you who don’t know, a honeypot is digital jail bait.

    Read their terms of use agreement: they don’t consider your IP to be private. IE they record it.

    They state that they also record all your account activity and permanently back it up. What you upload, download, when, for how long. All permanently backed-up and associated with your IP. Unlike other sites that don’t do that, they will happily make available all of that information to the MPAA, RCMP, PTA, YMCA, etc. etc. should you happen to upload a video you made with a Jessica Alba poster hanging in the background (You are using a copyrighted image and likeness) and the copyright holder complains… and copyright holders employ people for the express purpose of complaining to authorities.

    They could easily dump that data when your session ended, but NOOOO.

    You cannot delete your account from their backups. So your disobedient behaviour will be there forever! Lake of fire here I come. The baby Jesus(TM) is going to cry!

    Furthermore, they encourage you to give a VALID email address (yes you can set one up for just this purpose…) which many people will divulge at their potential peril – all permanently backed up.

    They also have a draconian, un-free speech policy. Apparently, you cannot use avatars or names depicting/impersonating cartoon characters or celebrities. So forget using your Spongebob(TM)-head-Tia-Carerre-body (is that body TM-ed?) animated jpeg. Das ist Verboten!

    If that wasn’t bad enough, neither can you claim to be president of the world, the queen of Sheba, or Howard Sterns’ inflatable doll, I quote:

    “(you cannot) create a false or misleading identity of, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent, your affiliation with, a person or entity.”

    Oops! No data for you!

    You cannot post anything that MIGHT be harmful to children like: Pokemon(TM) cartoons that caused seizures in the 90s or re-enactments of your favourite A-Team episodes – violence; or news clips of Michael Jackson hanging his baby over the railing
    (That’s vulgar, obscene, and harmful/disturbing to children, isn’t it?) I imagine saying “BOO” isn’t allowed as it might scare the elderly, the faint of heart, and college kids on LSD.

    You cannot say or post anything ‘obscene’ or ‘vulgar’ or ‘racist’ – all nice terms that are open to wide-as-the-Suez-canal interpretation. So no videos of the Toronto Film Festival protesters saying Palestinians are being left out by some Israeli sympathetic organizers! So says Naomi Klein! That’s racist x2! The CBC can report it, but don’t post it on Hexagon ‘cus it’s hate, racist and ethnically vulgar! What about news reports of how some Chinese restaurants in Toronto in the 1990s Toronto failed basic health and safety inspections? Racist! Ethnically vulgar! Defamatory! Full of MSG!

    Off with your head!

    Naw man, nice idea, except it’s a bad idea. They are enemies of everything that the internet is about. The only thing you are allowed to post is:

    -Anything that is not copyrighted (unless you have permission to post it): NO popular music (sucks anyway); NO Feature Films; NO Smurfs; NO Yul Brynner pics; NO books (but I guess you could post pictures of yourself BURNING Books unless, of course, a librarian complains)

    -Anything that no one will find offensive, vulgar, racist, obscene, intelligent, or truthful: NO politics, NO violent images, NO ‘dirty’ jokes, NO quotes from the Bible(TM), NO full monteys, NO Carebear-count-downs.

    Maybe you could post videos of a static-snow screen, but then you’d be impersonating THEM from Poltergeist.

  • hello

    To Lookn4Trouble:

    All torrent sites have to use such terms. It’s for their own protection. Or what did you expect? Terms like: “Here it’s allowed to share warez”? Even on the piratebay site it says it’s not allowed to share copyrighted stuff without permission.

    And if they want to run a honeypot they wont have to open a second site. They would use isohunt for that purpose.

  • Lookn4Trouble

    A responce I made:

    Hello @ Hello !

    Fair points, allow me to respond.

    No, I don’t expect them to say “come and get someone else’s beer”. But I was surprised to see that they are using hyper politically correct language in their t.o.s., including severe limits on content and “speech”, regardless of the copyright status.

    Furthermore, a distinction can be made between this (Hexagon) and other sites, as this one wants users to establish a social
    network part-and-parcel to file sharing. Connecting the two allows the provider to establish a robust database about you, your
    likes, your media habits, and your opinions all connected to an email address, IP, (even your picture?) ALONG with a circle of
    people sympathetic to your views/media tastes. You are also supposed to use your “real” identity, according to the TOS, so I guess you have to come out of the closet on every front – no privacy vis-a-vis their policy.

    All this has lots of potential for abuse there – more so than ISOHunt. It’s like a honey pot with the bees still in it when the bear puts his claws in.

    Or, are users not rrreally expected to follow the TOS – as it is just there for “legal” reasons? The “don’t post copyright stuff”
    disclaimer didn’t protect the PirateBay, so it isn’t clear how it will help them at Hexagon – it serves no tangible legal purpose
    - it seems more like a placebo or wishful thinking on the part of the admins that it will somehow, magically protect them from
    prosecution. The recent ruling against Mininova, that they don’t do enough to remove disputed content fast enough, demonstrates
    that a disclaimer is moot and wholly a useless appendix. Time and time again history has shown that a TOS that forbids copyright
    material sharing has no impact on the (il)legality of the behaviour of users and the liability of those who run the site: think
    Piratebay, Torrentspy, Mininova, Napster, etc.

    When was the last time a judge ruled in favour of a defendant that the TOS made a file-sharing site operator not responsible for

    what was posted there? References? News articles? Show how and when that a TOS protects them.
