Mininova Hits The Million Torrent Uploads Mark
Written by Ernesto on November 18, 2007The well-known BitTorrent site Mininova reached a new Milestone today. Just weeks after hitting the 3 billion torrent downloads mark, Mininova notched up its 1,000,000th uploaded torrent.
Torrent number 1,000,000 was uploaded yesterday by an anonymous user. Unfortunately, the memorable torrent has no seeds, which makes it likely that it wont be around much longer.
One million uploaded torrents is a great accomplishment, especially if you consider that Mininova only allows user uploads. Contrary to what most people assume, Mininova doesn’t scrape any torrents from other websites, all the torrents hosted on the website are uploaded by its users.
It took almost a year to get from the 500,000th torrent, which was uploaded November 2006, to the millionth torrent. So, the traffic and the torrent downloads grow faster than the torrent uploads, indicating that most new users are mostly interested in downloading and not in publishing content. At the moment, approximately 1350 torrents are uploaded to Mininova every day and the site hosts over 550,000 .torrent files in total.
Earlier this week we reported that Mininova entered the list of the top 50 most visited websites on the Internet. Some people might have noticed that Mininova spits out a few errors every now and then if you try to load a page, this is one of the downsides of the traffic increase. However, Mininova founder Niek assured us that they are working on it and that it should get better soon.

Lock ‘em all up, Every user, they’re all criminals i tell ya.
Put them away for 50 years.
I agree. Lock up all 5 million users or whatever.
My heart lies with ThePirateBay.
Good for them! Although the ammount of dupes is a little (or a lot) higher than I like, it’s still a half-decent site.
i’m with mininova & sumotorrent. Don’t like piratebay at all.
Miniova… the place to be!
for this whole week mininova is giving me this crap on every page
———
An error has occurred :(
This page will refresh itself after 10 seconds. This should hopefully solve the problem (more information here).
You can also return to the Mininova home page.

lame ass servers ..
it just takes some patience to visit their site that’s all… pages usually load within a minute.. a side effect of it being popular heh
Go get some free invites on

I prefer private trackers
I found a couple free of invites on

Mininova is one of the few public sites I like, gj guys!
Every uploader will be sentenced to 10 years in jail min.
If Mininova keeps on “press-whoring” like this then they will become the next big target for the RIAA and MPAA to go after.. I can honestly see they days as being numbered because of all of their recent publicity.
Damnit, I missed it by 1446. :(

Impressive stats, and please excuse my ignorance, but does mininova even run a tracker?

Yeah, they were so underground before. Why’d you have to tip off the RIAA, Ernesto?!
No, Mininova doesn’t run a tracker. Most of their torrents (like most public torrents on the internet) are tracked by The Pirate Bay.
sick
Hey you guys can anyone tell me how you can upload a torrent to the vip pirate bay tracker? A little bit off topic but yeah…

Flies in the vasaline we are. Sometimes it blows my mind. Keep getting stuck here all the time.
Are you 25:17?

There’s a big difference between being known, and painting a huge fucking target on your back.
Why talk smack instead of just using your brain?
Is it you? Is it me? Search for things that you can’t see. Going blind. Out of reach. Somewhere in the vasaline. Oldie but goodie. How long till 2 million torrents are upped!!??
18th day of next month
Dec. 30th 2007 guaranteed or your torrents back.
27th of next month
.
Soon.
Many copyright torrents before 2008.
Don’t worry, be happy.
RIAA,MPAA=The Real Pirates.
They are control freaks
They hate our freedom.
p2p user= freedom fighter
mpaa/riaa=selfish corporation who’s goal is to consolidate everything into the hands of the few.
riaa/mpaa=losers who uses threat and intimidation as ways of scaring people into submissiion. they will never win.
boycott riaa/mpaa by not buying their stuff we don’t need them. they will collapse and cease to exist.
We the people will fight for our rights. Beside these scumbag are never satisfied.
riaa/mpaa= spoiled little children who got bored = bullies with an atitude problems. They will never win, too stupid to use these technology for the good of all.
screw money too because money = control freaks. This centralization into the few hands is pissing us off while the rest slave for them as if we owe them something for everything that they have perversed.
Yay for Mininova!
Mininova sucks i stop going there for movies they had to many fakes and most of there tv episodes comes from EZTV
congratz mini, but whats the deal with ernesto? Every fart mininova drops is news now. Almost as if ernesto has his mouth wide open every time a mini crewmember takes a shit
Ernesto,
dont listen to all the people complaining about you reporting this.
Judging from their post and vocabulary, its a shame that the P2P community is infested with such morons.
Keep up the good work at TorrentFreak!!
:)
That’s great and now they will probably be the next target to be closed down. Not really smart publicity all things considered
I agree with #35
All news is news and worth the read.
Those people complaining do not catch the drift i guess. All things happening around are easy to find on the web and our “attackers” know that too.
Please realise, complainers, that more and more people are supporting us. Even the industry admits that …http://www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/news/138990/music-boss-we-were-wrong-to-go-to-war-with-consumers.html
See Trent Reznor’s story. Do not fight each other, but fight the “attackers” …
Mininova and Isohunt rules.
Piratebay sucks .

we need big public sites like this to get new users into downloading
Wish me old tardis was working. I could see what the future holds. Back to me jellybabies! Oh yes go Mininova go! I wonder how long the other underground sites can remain a secret. SSsshhheee. ^.~
HEY. SHHhiihhhh
yapster!! Chumpstero! fourin!Buahahaha. Oh yeah sshhiihh. My bad.
HEY. You too. SSShhhhiiihhhh.
Man you all suck, do you all wanna get charged with treason. I bet Not so do the right thing and don’t vote for ROn Paul (A Terrorist, Filesharing crook) or John Edwards (Doesn’t like the stuff I do), and please vote for Hillary Clinton.
I Love to subdue more of my enemies, and the terrorists shall DIE.
Hahahahahahaha
I love you Bushie! Always looking out for my back. On another note, this marks yet another milestone on the way to our future as an independent and free media market. Cheers and VOTE FOR ME!

Apples and oranges, learn the difference.
Fare una figura di merda
If you don’t want to read my criticisms, skip to the end of this post for a short summary.
Mininova sucks! I don’t know why so many of you can’t see that. Anyone can start up a website and say “Hey, come upload your torrents here!” While it takes a real genious to run a tracker that has its own releasers and its own tracker. That is the sole reason why private trackers with dedicated release teams and good admins are far superior to any public tracker.
Sure Mininova is huge… without a doubt the biggest torrent indexing site in the world, but a moron could run it.
As for you Ernesto, you’re still stupid as ever. Do you actually thinks it’s worth mentioning that more people download torrents than upload them. If the numbers were equal, or even close to the same, then the entire purpose of the BitTorrent protocol would be defeated (yes, you’re still reporting about BitTorrent). The purpose of BitTorrent is to have lots of downloads, which facilitates the sharing of the upload burden and thus enables the uploaded files to have greater longevity and hence distributed range.
As I’ve said before, Ernesto, “reporters” like you make a mockery of BitTorrent and news itself by writing articles like this (and it’s not so much about the topic, but the content) and passing them off as big news.
Anyways, what I’m really trying to say here is;
Ernesto: Retard, always has been, always will be.
Mininova: BIG (yes it’s huge but that doesn’t mean it’s good) dupe, virus, trojan, fake and spyware heaven.
The Pirate Bay: Best public tracker on the net, hands down.
TorrentLounge: Formerly the best private tracker on the net.
iNFLUX Torrents: Soon to be the best private tracker on the net!
Anyone notice as of lately Mininova is down? Must have reached the bandwidth. o_O
“You have reached the loadbalancer of Mininova.org. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing here to find…”
Spread the word or sound: SSsshhiihhh
Does anyone know how you can become a V.I.P. on The Pirate Bay?
And is there such thing as a VIP on MiniNova?

Why would you ask that?
How to become vip? :)
Send them a few thousand $, and ask.
VIPs are selected, like in your local bar, where the guy with tatoos, a beard and boots is “selected” as VIP.
Yeey

Actually I just skipped the whole thing. :D
Hi, just wana know
1) If Mininova a public or private?
2) Mininova or BTjunkie…?
Ta-!
ive noticed that using peergadian 2 there are loads of fake trackers and servers anti p2p2 uploading stuff..so in my mind its not safe.. in any way shape or form…
if you touch it you will get burned ..
judd-ski
tpb has child porn so i will never use it…!!!
@ 57
ive noticed the same thing, there does seem to be a lot of Anti-pirate ip’s poping up on PG2 when i Dl from them, however that does not mean that mininova is bad, just that the enemy is watching. I wouldnt be suprised if they jumped into the peer list with every torrent uploaded.
@ the Ernesto haters
shut up. i dont see you doing anything to help the P2P movment.
and as for being a “bad” reporter lol. have you watched the news lately?
every single “reporter” just reads what the govt. tells them…. FEAR everyone they are a terrorist!
Green cars are for gays
genocide is A OK in the eyes of Jesus.
Obey or die by tazering
smoke pot? you now bubbas new bitch
it is up to freelance reporters like Ernesto to try to deliver news that isnt spoon fed to them
and since its only the P2P movment he reports on, yes it wont seem like “big” news to everyone. but at least he does something, unlike you…….im with ya Ernesto.

Your Days Are Numbered
mininova is an indexing site
is not even a torrent site
they don’t have their own tracker and take credits for everything that other users who actually use bandwidth to upload it
Mininova has a lot of user that leech and never contribute to the sharing community…
A lot of them do not seed
A lot of them are freeloader…
many bad users at mininova.org
mininova has lots of fakes
lots of dead torrents
the site is a giant mess
the mod care more about banning user from uploading then cleaning up the mess that keeps piling up.
