Never watched any episode
_YEZ_ a new episode of TF-TV is out woot love watching these in my spare time :)
great episode… now if only that web app worked with proxys we would be golden ^_^
She’s pretty, but robotic in delivery. Thanks for the news.
nice really good job torrentfreak!
Pretty Cool Episode keep it up
Pretty cool, but — Comica Sans…?! C’mon… really?
Thanks TF, I would like to see more of the musik Vid at the end!, LoL
Seriously that is a cool concept for a quick update on the filesharing world and I actually learned a few things from it…
Pretty good, her reading isn’t very “fluid” though so it gets a bit annoying…
++ There was no pause after talking about TalkTalk, just went straight into the app review without waiting.
nice one, keep up the good work.
woo and then hoo!!
impressive, how people can’t resist to the lowest common denominator, aka tv.
if you like to see the music viedeo at the end go to youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzs_9suYC28
its a song the german Pirate Party has made for their Election Campain.
(unfortunaly they got only 2% of the votes. 5% are needed to take an active part in the german system)
I sware the robot had a different name last time? Did you really have to do the noise reduction on the audio? I’m just being picky.
It starts with a blog, which makes sense because everyone blogs and one about p2p matters which is written good was needed… Than it becomes a TV, I guess because people are to lazy to read, which is fine, because TorrentFreak does not have to stick to one media.
But… I guess someone down the line said, hey if it is a TV show – better have a pretty girl in a skirt reading all those headlines.
TorrentFreak – please do not become vain… We demand equal opportunity. We ask half-naked anchor-MAN as well. Or chimps, we also fine with chimps :)
:)
Good episode, kinda skimpy on content in my opinion – would have liked more info on what the deal with TPB is and when if ever, their trackers will come back online.
heh beavis.. shes hot..
liked the episode, thanks torrentfreak, keep up the good work.
yeahh keep up with good work but i will be happy to see at least 15min of one show,not 4!
Great show, and i hate to say it, but the host is REALLY BAD!! Made it hard to listen.
turn your volume up @22, moron.
Hey, it’s nice that TFTV is back, keep it up! :)
Vacation is an everybody’s right ;)
I hope that the German Pirate Party don’t used that video clip at the end as an ad for voting. If it is, then I know the reason why the German PP don’t have enough votes for a seat :\/
However, the clip makes me smile :D
Glad to see these back, not glad to see that the host STILL hasn’t worked on her horrible delivery.
I don’t expect a highly trained newsreader, but come on. She must be blowing the right person to keep this job.
great to see TorrentFreak TV back again. it’s a great way to keep up with torrent news when your short on time.
Seriously get a new girl to do this man, she is like ugly even for the interwebs!!!
Wow! After 6 months, she looks even sexier! Sooo lovin’ TorrentFreak TV ;)
@14, Thanks for the link, Personally I like the vid, allot!… Have no clue as to what their saying, LoL, but it’s definitely a pirate song…
The girl is just fine, keep her..
It isnt a date morons, shes doing us a service, thank her and STFU…
She may be just a little nervous. who knows? but she did fine, and she’ll do better
Welcome back.
Unfortunately, I’m still having intermittent problems with audio/video on my Ubuntu/Firefox system. Oh well…
Anyway, I often prefer “low-budget” or “community/student/small-organization-style/driven” stuff over the dying (for me at least) “corporate media TV news”, which can be too “perfect” or regurgitative (i.e., same news-pieces on all channels) and/or at least, stylistically-emulative, that it’s boring on some levels. I like some originality, creativity, fun, informality, quirkiness, “anything goes”, etcetera, with my New Mainstream Media, which has become anyone who wants to do it– people like you and me. :)
Never seen an episode in my life. But now that I have seen it she sounds like a robotic chick. But whatever gives me news that i might want to hear I don’t really care that much…
Good idea of summarizing the main news of the month. However, I would advice the host to feel more at ease. Experience is the best teacher!
It’s nice to see new episodes of TorrentFreak TV :)
It think that it’s a good idea to change the episode running in the right side of this site ;)
I think the delivery really needs a lot of work, but it’s cool to have a show like this.
finally
Great job, please include more content. Thanks.

@ all the haters, Stacia gets better with every episode and she’s been listening to feed and improving.
This episode there was maybe one spot where she delivered lines a little coldly. who the fuck cares? it’s not like she’s a news anchor that has been doing this for years, it takes time and a lot of practice to get comfortable with this stuff. Plus I don’t imagine they do very many takes due to time and budget constraints.
if you don’t like it don’t watch it and stfu.
i just want to let some of the haters know that this type of production takes A LOT of work – its not so simple to just bust out webisodes every 2 weeks. can you imagine that the people involved with this have other things going on in their lives?
there’s so much to do to get the ball rolling – as in setting up a green screen, shooting, lighting, editing, gathering stills, producing intros, segments, credits, recording the audio, and writing the content – give this poor girl and the rest of the crew a break.
its not as if they are even getting paid to produce this. so unless you can contribute something to the show to make it better, or have some positive critical points to make, then shut yer yappers.
i personally think that although this show is not perfect, its a damned good attempt at creating a supplementary element to the website. its somewhat entertaining, and i do not mind taking 5 or 6 minutes out of my day every 2 weeks to sit back and see the show develop. keep it up guys and good work. i fully support ya.
You still owe me a t-shirt :C
omg you are beautiful.
what a boy needs to do to get out with a girl like you?
Fantastic Episode TF. Keep it up.
fuck you guys could just have put a robot as a host, this bitch has no personality
I’m wondering if using vocaloid wouldn’t be better LoL
Just kidding
Good job. Looks like you’ve put a lot of work into it.
It’s fresh…. it’s cool.
Thanks.
Ok, my video’s kind of working…
I noticed the sounds, including some drum-hits, and computer animation and switcher effects, as well as the moving lilac-coloured background (fading in from the TF logo animation), which compliments the other apparent secondary colours of Stacia’s green eyes(?) and the orange of her tank-top.
Good work.
about time
I tried out rapidshare.net and it’s great! I managed to download things 10x faster than with torrents.
Rapidshare.net is my new favourite website. :D
One word…
Fantastic!
I look forward to the next one
Man she has that right amount of extra chub to her…id love to meat her.
