I’d like to thank the people behind Mininova for not allowing pornographic material on the site. I am delighted that my family and kids can surf your site without running across x-rated content. That would SO take the pleasure out of using Mininova. Keep up the great work and thanks for your decency! :)

Excellent interview. I love mininova, have been using it for years!

Like a lot of other sites though, it can sometimes be difficult to find what your after. That’s why I prefer http://www.flixflux.co.uk for movies!

[quote comment="37372"]Fuck you little Sammy son. Noobs like you don’t belong here on teh internets. Go somewhere which suits your age. Death to RIAA & MPAA! Long live the torrents![/quote]

Okay… What a logic! If someone doesn’t use torrent you immediately identify him as a noob… hmm interesting… somewhere suits my age? ha~ when you have no idea how old I am

I wouldn’t be so quick to make that assumption. I find it hard to believe that enough people going to mininova to get things free are not blocking ads and clicking/buying the ads they see to pay the server and b/w costs.[/quote]

Well, that’s not hard at all.

[...] While downloading MP3s are mainly used through LimeWire, iTunes, MySpace, etc., torrents make downloading full MP3 albums easier similar to a .zip file, so many people have been turning to this service. Personally, I have not tried out the service myself, but I believe that this relatively new P2P protocol is here to stay and the MPAA or RIAA won’t be able to do much to stop its growth.
