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.

gratz:)
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.

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…

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
