Hey thebox.bz stick your membership where the sun dont shine ya bunch of toffee-nosed bastards!!!

Nice site BTW, goodluck with it man.

Torrentem steals Torrentz.com’s data.

2 cents.

All your egotistical philisiphys need not apply here.Private sites are people who are giving there money to the site for both maintence fees, and access to data in which to put on the site.Versues a public site with someone who is not exsprienced with say encoding and puts up a 1gb 320×240 avi file with the audio desynced…
Get my drift….

Brokep has done more for the community than selfish little brats like you ever have[/quote]

So very true. Pretty much you are throwing rocks at your glass house, if you are hating on TPB. That’s just stupid. It’s like saying, “I don’t like losing my freedoms, but I love George Bush”. GG

And there are more public sites then you are obviously aware of.

Non-torrent / warez related. I’m an indie map developer for a game.

As for slagging of TPB, that just lowers any value your words had from none to even less..

Anyway, nice looking site, once its been tweaked and more sites are added to the indexing then it should be pretty decent… not as good as isohunt though :P

The main reason I use private trackers is quality. If I want a proper V0 lame rip of something, guaranteed to not be a transcode the best place to go is unfortunately a private site.

Ideologically I prefer public sites, but right now they can’t always provide what I’m looking for. I’m hoping there will be some way to reconcile this in the future.

Mininova is just short of 3 months older than my site. You might want your “truth” checking, it appears to be broken.

As for the reasons specified as to why you wont open your own tracker, do you think you have a right to demand that others pour in unlimited resources to host a public tracker that does not dissapear under heavy loads while not investing a penny yourself? If it’s none of our business why you don’t run a tracker then it’s none of your business what sort of trackers we run.

The reason private trackers are so popular to run is because you can match the number of peers to your hardware, and not the other way around. That is how we can afford to run the things. If you’re waiting for someone with a DC the size of TPBs to come along and offer you an alternative, you’ll be waiting a long time.

BTW, public trackers are not the only hydra. They’re not much of a hydra at all. If someone took out TPB, how many new sites would pop up?
When someone takes out a private tracker, we actually do see at least 4-5 new ones replacing it.
Without the regrowing of heads, it’s less of a hydra and more of a cerberus.

Get the concept?

Public or private, its all good.

I do this, because that is their directive. That’s how they run. I’m not complaining or whining about it, because I’m also a webmaster, and I know the rules are the rules.

What I’m saying is that making everything that is hard to find only accessible to a FEW is AGAINST my philosophy, and the reason I “pirate”. I believe, as Brokep does from TPB, that freedom of information and ideas is of the utmost importance. Hiding things behind closed doors is the exact opposite of that, and very much like what the industry is doing now, nix the payment. That is why on Public trackers, I share as much as I can.

After all, we’re all in this together, aren’t we? And if you’re in it for other reasons, then you just won’t ever understand my argument, so don’t try to rebut me.

Why do I not run a tracker myself? Because of several reasons, most of them personal so it’s none of your business. But major ones are: Funds and Lack of good ISPs.

As for the fakes/viruses/blahblahblah “issue” … I’ve never, not ONCE, repeat again, NEVER got anything of the sort from ANYWHERE. Why? Because I use logic. Something a lot of you “l33t” private people should look into. If something is either too good to be true, or suspicious looking, it most likely is. This is why most pub trackers HAVE COMMENT SECTIONS. Do your research! Stop being lazy!

And finally, my last thoughts. I’ve been “pirating” for over 9 years, and I’ve seen a lot of things change, especially availability and user friendliness. This is just how things evolve. If you don’t like that “newbs” have access now, then tough cookies for you. I’ve seen one truth though, throughout the years, and that is: Small communities that shut their doors to new comers ALWAYS ALWAYS do _not_ last. It is through the will of the Public community that sites like Mininova last for 3 YEARS and beyond.

More public trackers = Unstoppable Hydra

Get the concept?

private trackers are way way better than public

i have received so many fake/virus/corrupt/ or just plain screwed files on public sites
i never have once on private.
plus the speeds are better

i love how all these kids complain about private sites but i bet if they received an invite theyd change sides right away

Completely uses torrentz.com for all data. Not to impressive by my standards.

Its people like you that give file sharing a bad name. I really could not care less about some lame ass ratio score displayed on your profile. As long as your giving back however much you took, then you are doing the right thing. You balantly display your ignorance’s towards file sharing. Get over and fuck yourself. :)

Then you’re just the sort of leeching fuckwit #10 is talking about. I agree that public tracker seeds share becuase they want to, not because they have to, That makes them better p2p’ers than those who do it for no other reason than showing off, which is about the only reason losers migrate to private sites. If they realy wanted faster, they’d get a usenet account, and if they cant avoid fakes, then they are retards and should give up on p2p. Showing everyone you’re a ratio whore basicaly lets everyone know what a dickhead you are, while the real filesharers just stfu and get on with it.

Well, the argument about vanishing torrent sites and trackers is of course bad…
I really hope this will change back to “for every one taken down, two new ones will rise”

At least we’re doing something. It’s not like we have 75% of private torrents tracked by a single site.

TORRENTFREAK! PLEASE MAKE THE NEXT TAB SELECT THE “RESPOND” BUTTON. Highly annoying.

See? Now i did it again…. Right up all the way to the “find” field, and then enter.

They don’t host their own tracker, or torrents, is mostly filled with ads.
many of these sites is probably set up to earn some money.

Fuck elitist ‘private’ trackers.

I totally agree with all n3l87 has to say on the matter (#5 & #10)

the main reason for private trackers is speed and few fakes not safety…[/quote]

That’s true, but when it comes to availability, I still find a whole lot on public sites. That’s where people share because they want to, not because they have to.

Forgot to mention that, with all that said, Torrent’Em is a very nice looking site.

But its very true about the lack of diversity – for all the innovative designing, without other torrent sites we will see the same torrents.. and the same fakes..
