I really enjoy torrents from mininova, I really do, and I think they are great!
Mininova is #1, just be careful, you’re the biggest target out there.
There are interests that want this stopped and the more popular this gets the more they may feel they are loosing. And rules will be bent, broken or made to ruin all our fun.
Good luck and keep up the good work.

@nb: no, the number mentioned is the amount of .torrent downloads (as this article also states, BTW). More info @ http://blog.mininova.org/articles/2007/11/01/more-than-3-billion-downloads/

By: nb

nb — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:07:33 +0000

Is this number actual LOCAL downloads, or are they using the completed download statistics from the trackers?

mininova’s stats say:
Total torrent downloads: 3,016,437,181

But if it is calculated the same as:
Total seeds: 6,474,197
Total leechers: 2,154,493,911

By just using the SUM(seeders), SUM(leechers), SUM(downloads)

If they are doing it that way, then there are sites that beat this long ago.

For example, TorrentPortal.com has 4,637,938,299 downloads complete (not just .torrents downloaded). Which is 1.6 billion downloads more if that is how they are tracking it. This data is from the TRACKERS, not mininova.

[quote comment="202032"]Why do each of the visitors need to download the mini-nova 3 times. (average)

This also suggests, that most users are downloading mini-nova many more times than they actually need…

judging by the download numbers, and the total amount of internet users, and systems capable of actually running the program coupled with the fact, that Mini-nova, at 4 billion downloads, will have pushed out 1 download 4 times for every single user on the internet.

Sorry, but that stinks severely of inflated numbers and possibly fraud.[/quote]

Each visitor is not downloading 3 times, but it can also be 3 different files.
so mr.I think the real question, first get your question right and then think.

Congrats Mininova! This site has been the standard over the past year. As far as the look, they continue to keep the look consistent but do make changes when necessary, just not a complete overhaul. The ads are also not intrusive at all.
They also are on top of deleting fake torrents quickly making users feel comfortable. The ever better part, they are an indexing site and do not host any trackers. That means they will be around for a long time. Sweet.

[quote comment="201255"]Good to hear. I do not like the layout of Mininova. But I know it is great for getting n00bs into torrents, so it is great that it is there to spread the word, and the content. Good luck to Mininova, keep ‘em coming.[/quote]

For those who don’t have any invites to private trackers (which would be most people, n00bs included), Mininova is the best place to find torrents, although TPB is definately a close second. Other public sites have far fewer torrents, IMHO.

I’ve been involved in downloading via torrents for 4 years or so and have yet to get an invite from anyone. Then again, I don’t upload torrents as I have no time. Downloading is simple, easy and not very time consuming. Creating DVD’s from the torrents is another story….
