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.

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

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.
[quote comment="218097"]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.

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.
