I am a mininova fan, but I wish people would stop trying to mimic downloads, you have to look really careful to ensure its a real axxo file

The mininova guys are great guys and it is good to see that are moving forward with building the company.

@29
‘ It just means that mininova has got their shit together, unlike most torrent sites.
‘

…. Coz they are more of a metasearch tracking torrents tracked by TPB, Demonoid or Sumotorrent.And hence a bit more ” secured ” legally !

Nice and Clean interface though.
Yes I am also a mininova fan :)

Mininova would be #1 if they ran tracker.. cause once the shit hits the fan there going to be gone with a flicker.

@11 Mininova is not even hosting the torrents, they link to outside torrents. And they’re not seeding either, VIPeers is.

@14 YouTube spends at least 300k a year on legal fees, Google just has a lot of money to pay for lawyers, they make a lot more than that. Just look at their approx. traffic on compete.com and imagine the lowest video CPM rate applied to a portion of that traffic

#26 Nah, Swedish laws are currently more in favor of filesharing than laws in NL.

Bless the Dutch..
It wouldn’t surprise me if TiAMO,
Anakata and Bokep choose to relocate here soon.
I for one will have a nice cold beer waiting for them.
Peace.

Thanks for the info Niek, although I kind of assumed it’d be something like that, despite the good ad revenue, its still pretty difficult to have a lot of staff…
And congrats to mininova, really nice to see another nice and strong .torrent site like The Pirate Bay.
@22:
I like the look of Windows 95, it looks clean and usable, unlike what Vista looks like, a big splodgy mess of unnecessary prettiness.

By: Niek

Niek — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 05:58:56 +0000

@11: FYI, TPB has an office too :)

Just to make this clear: the 5 ‘employees’ are the founders of the site (we’ve been working on it since Jan 2005). And regarding seeding: that’s done by VIPeers, Mininova just links to VIPeers on the upload page.

@22: They can’t skin the site in Vista look. It will result in too much unneeded bandwidth and costs, because the torrents matter, not the skin.

A nice pic of the pretty office. :)

[quote]One of the most significant changes for the Mininova staff is the new office, located in the city center of Utrecht.[/quote]

That’s outside the city center, it’s not an “A location”. (Oudegracht or Maliebaan would be A locations)

Not that they couldn’t afford it, they must be making millions from ad revenues

@13

Just look at Youtube.com. Their place of business is mainly the USA, where copyright infringement is more easily dealt with in court. They actually host the infringing material as well, yet nobody goes after them.

I had the same thought. Not saying it is a bad thing, just odd.

” With all the drama that’s going on in Sweden at the moment, it’s good to see that it’s still business as usual at Mininova. At least for now. ”

Very nice to see …..

Cheers

wow….
TPB has to prove the fact that they’re not making a profit, and constantly have to prove that no materials are ever hosted on their servers.
Now mininova is not only making a profit, but they’ve got an office and employes. Now they’re even seeding stuff themselves!!

It’s a wierd world.

I love the category searching! It makes it as easy as TPB to get the torrent you want.
(Sorry if I double commented, I got an error saying I commented too “fast” when I did my first comment and don’t know if it still went through)
