Everytime I see a moron posting negative comments about file sharing, I’m gonna dl another discography and latest movie, and also gonna burn copies 4 sale. I suggest every1 else do the same or at least d/l. Also stop buying retail unless its pirated.

Another reason p2p is booming.

We get better features from free services. And if the service isn’t good, well you get what you pay for, which is better than actually paying for crap DRM-content and pirate wannabees iTunes.

What ever happened with those two servers that The Pirate Bay offered to Demonoid? I’ve been really anxious to hear about Demonoid again.

Windows Vista sucks and there are many people that uses it.
The same people that complained about 50 MB of RAM needed for heap memory to run Java apps, now they use an operating system that sucks 2 GB of RAM.

“Come come to the Sabbath, down by the ruined Bridge
Witches and Demons are coming
Just follow the magic Call
Come come to the Sabbath, down by the ruined Bridge
Later on the Master will join us
Called from the Heart of Hell
At first we light up a Fire, and then we hail our Lord
Two Candles, a black and a white, are placed upon the Altar
North, South, East and West, and so we clean the Air
High Priestess invoking the Devil, infernal Names are spoken
Come to the Sabbath…Sabbath
…Sabbath…Sabbath
Come to the Sabbath
The Ceremony’s proceeding, it’s Time to grant your Wishes
An Evil Curse on the Priest who took the Life of Melissa
Now we must close up the Ritual, read the Enochian Key
And so it will be done, Amen… now come Come to the Sabbath…Sabbath
…Sabbath…Sabbath
Come to the Sabbath…now here we come

If you say Heaven, I say a Castle of Lies
You say forgive him, I say Revenge
My sweet Satan, You are The One”

Very nice. Great quality and it even seeds when you are done. Seems its basically a Java version of a stripped down torrent client. I wonder what this client shows up as in your peers list? I think this is really an excellent idea because it brings some main stream techniques for music sites to bit torrent. I always wished Oink had something like this!

@ 11 – Incorrect! How about you make sure you know what you are talking about before posting.

Right click on torrent link you wish to download, select “Copy Shortcut” and then paste that link into the BitLet box specified.
eg. mininova.org/get/1158384
You need to copy the /get/ link not the /tor/ link otherwise it will not work.

I’ve had no issues when testing out 2 different albums, U2 and Sheryl Crow – only issue is the speed.

In a nutshell? Kind of a cool idea but if you want to sample the music first, try other sites like Amazon IMO

This is stupid.. just another complaint for the RIAA to have… Why would u use this wen you can just download it and decide whether you want it or not then? Besides utorrent and azerious allow you to choose which tracks you want to download anyways.

Seemed cool, except I tried it out and

A. it only seems to work on torrents with a single mp3 or ogg file in them, meaning 99% of music torrents don’t work.

B. It didn’t work anyway on the few files I was able to find (metadata not found error).

If they perfected it and allowed it to work on single mp3s in multi-file torrents I think you’d have a great “album preview” feature on your hands. Until then, I’ll pass.

Bittorrent is about distribution, not streaming. This means peers have to give pieces in an ordered way. I think swarm speeds will suffer.

> share peerlists over common files.

Torrents contain hash pieces in specified blocks. It does not create a hash for each file.

Well considering that mininova is one of the most visited sites on the internet (top 50 btw) they need to upgrade more frequently than usual so im sure they would need money to keep their sevice top notch for everyone.

Nifty! I’ll probably never use it, but it shows how the torrent protocol is developing.

Also, if any dev dudes are reading this: Please make it so that torrents can share peerlists over common files. That would be badass, and would also reduce dupe torrents.
