Top torrent sites? Bah. When any torrent site wins, EVERYBODY wins. Period. Sure, stroke TPB’s, Mininova’s, Torrentz’s and Demonoid’s egos – all I want (and what we really need) are our torrents. Whoever at the top is usable by me and you and everybody is happy and everybody wins.

Even media producers should win.

Loder is a great account that upload lots of good releases each day.

The only problem is the moviex tracker that only let people seed to members of the site. But it’s easy to remove and I’ll bet a lot of people do it.

Btw:
when you download torrents from piratebay most of the peers you’re connected to will be from America. Especially after some of the US sites went down.

By: Sweden

Sweden — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:16:26 +0000

The only reason TPB don’t kick higher in that graph is because of the fact that it’s mainly and mostly (in percentage) used by Swedish people, since it’s a Swedish project (this is why a LOT of the movies are uploaded with SWESUB’s as standard). And Swedens population is only close to 9 million – so in compete with countries like US and India, we don’t have a fair chance.

Personally though, I’m pissed off at that “loder” bot at TPB for stealing non-public scene releases from the private trackers and uploading them at the TPB. F*ck you, fake-user.

JAJA…torrents sucks, this protocol is not for sharing file, it is a way for leeching!! It doesn’t work if I want download something rare or not popular.
I hope this protocol died some day.

Torrentz.com is a metasearch engine so basically you end up going to a Mininova or thePiratebay website anyway.

Also if you are scared of giving out emails use
guerrillamail dot com for registration, this is a temporary email service.

One main reason for isohunt being popular in Japan is that it indexes a lot of anime and hentai material.

Indian people are still learning about torrents so they use torrentz more.

Piratebay is particularly up due to their rebellious nature while Mininova tops because it indexes the best torrents and the most torrentz.

I think Piratebay has something to do with their popularity in Sweden as they are from Sweden.

People from Boston say yeah. The rest of us say year. People from Eastern Canada of Scandanavian decent put the letter y in front of a lot of words. So they see the doctor about a year ache. Once a year. Except if they are passing though Boston where the see the doctor about a year ache once a yeah.

Proposals for action:

These proposals for action are at my blog so that people can comment on them more easily:
http://izumi-sensei.blogspot.com/2008/07/proposals-for-action.html

File-sharing is simply not something for which people should be punished. When you have bought your CD, it should be YOURS, and you should be able to do whatever you want with it. Copyright is an infringement of basic property rights – it puts restrictions on what you can do with YOUR property. Non-profit file-sharing should simply be allowed, and commercial file-sharing should be allowed 15 years after the publication of the original work.

The following are two proposals for action:

1. Civil disobedience. We need to do this in public: hand out CDs for free in public. If the police reacts, and arrests people, then public sympathy would more likely be on our side.
2. Protests, campaigning, letter-writing. I do not mean the U.S. Congress or any other part of government. I mean the multitudes of institutions or people who simply think that file-sharing is somehow is a problem, and do not even consider the people who oppose copyright law. We need to persuade the small people first before we tackle the big institutions.

Comments are a must for good torrent sites – one of the reasons I stopped using Torrentspy a year or more before it went offline. The comments for each torrent at TPB are a good way to see if the content is good or a fake/infected.

Some of the best releasers on the net and most trusted, aXXo (movies), tqw (ebooks), and mazuki (appz). All have the same home site, darksiderg(dot)com

I for one have never got and infect file or fake release form there!

I like the design of Mininova, so I used to use them, but lately I’m finding lots of torrents on there with trackers I can’t communicate with. I don’t know if they’re blocking they US or just dead trackers, but it’s enough of a nuisance that I switched to TPB.

Private sites are not necessarily
safer than public ones – as seen with
the EliteTorrents takedown, it all
started with an infiltration by an
MPAA shill (or should that be mole?)

Last paragraph:

“Overall it seems that BitTorrent sites are still growing, especially The Pirate Bay, since they nearly doubled their traffic in a yeah.”

> “Public torrentsites are inseure.”

All torrent sites are insecure.

Private sites keep much more detailed logs. They log everything you download and how much you upload. Public sites don’t.

> “(Isohunt’s Torrentbox tracker is unavailable due to US pressure.)”

It’s available and completely usable to the non-American world.

If they double their traffic in a ‘yeah’, how much traffic will they get for a ‘hell yeah’ ?

For those who save private is better then public for security reasons… Well not really?

Public maybe be easy to locate but ultimately Private sites run their own Trackers, sites that run trackers are more likely to be raided…

And on private trackers usually registration leaves a trace back to your email, your real life etc, providing more solid evidence.

So in short it’s more about preference…

i h8 public sites, nowadays I just use private trackers because everything is faster and safer on them. on the site that I use we have hundreds of seedboxes in use 24/7 and I have one as well. however for public stuff I always use mininova.org as I am not a big fan of TPB

By: stuckmoto

Are you crazy? Use a public tracker?
Not in a million years, unless you like receiving copyright infringement e-mails.

There are SOOO many other options.

isoHunt also has trackers last I knew, they just have been blocking US ip ranges.

By: ww

The problem is that of the top 4 sites listed, only one, The Pirate Bay, operates an open tracker. (Isohunt’s Torrentbox tracker is unavailable due to US pressure.)

The other sites simply leech off TPB’s tracker. Not cool.

“isoHunt has a relatively large fanbase in Japan”

Isohunt’s owner resembles a Japanese celebrity I’ve seen. Maybe that’s part of the attraction.

…especially The Pirate Bay, since they nearly doubled their traffic in a yeah.

Yeah, seems like many people already saw it, but I just had to mention it again…

But about the Google results, I don’t know anymore how accurate Alexa’s were before their “update”, but it’s good to see another good source appeared and it’s even better to see that the torrent site statistics are still growing…

But another comment: People have to think about this: Mininove as well as isoHunt and Torrentz all are only indexes, The Pirate bay is the only site, which is high up in the statistics AND maintains trackers as well…

I’d never heard of torrentz before.

It’d be nice to see Windows Live showing a search graph on torrent sites…

It’d go like this… “No one touches torrent sites because there evil and used by terrorists and child offends!!!!”
