for your IP Torrent invite.

thanks

Last year a work colleague of mine invited me to OINK. By the time OINK was closed I had a ratio of over 2.0 and I had contributed something like 400GB to the community.

Oink is dead and I’m homeless. This elitist invite only attitude is a complete crock of shit. I’m surely in the top 5% based on contribution’s alone yet here I am, not downloaded a single song in 3 months.

Of course should you have an invite i wouldn’t turn it down…. telehouse@googlemail.com ? please do…

YOU STFU “Sharing copyright material is against the law”

I think we all know that you little cockweasel, now go back to your media-locker d0uchebag and stay in there.

It’s a win-win because chances are that if you are a good member on [bit torrent tracker x] you are going to be a good seeder on [bt tracker z].

I mean, there could be ways for some users to abuse this system… but it would be nice…

Either that or I have just run out of ideas to try and join bitmetv.org

:-)

Im not going to say exactly where to go since I had to find my own way there and into these private trackers.

Now, the only place that has decent Mac torrents is BrokenStones, and the only way to get an invite is to beg strangers. That kinda defeats the whole purpose of invites.

So, while I loved the private trackers for the checks and balances – I also hate them for keeping good filesharers, abandoned by C&D orders, from getting in.

It’s a win-lose situation, really.

Hell, we’d all like to see the RIAA abide by its dictates. We can’t very well get pissed off when the laws of the market effect the torrent community.

Tell me what Waffles.fm’s channel is and where so I can lurk already. The website does not show the IRC Channel listing anywhere.

What a lame idiot. You said nothing new.

oh yeah fuck your site too.

It really isn’t difficult.

And please, stop with the “I miss Demonoid” comments. A lot of people do, we know. We don’t need to read that again.

Yeah! How “much” I can tell from your speech …

respect!

LOL

Thats exactly that kind of “private trackers” (and corresponding members) that don’t deserve any “helping” or encouragement at all.

I MISS DEMONOID !!!![/quote]

We just don’t wanna go to jail because our goings on have been made public by places like this mate.

Global as the internet is, personal contacts concerning p2p are rare. Most contacts with persons sharing the interest in p2p are taking place online and they are anonymous contacts from forums, irc or similar. So invites are either mostly given to strangers (hoping they are the good guys) or not given at all (probably more often!).

Therefor invites help to keep user communities closed, but they first of all keep out good and fair normal users as well!

That might be hailed by some l33t wannabies that in return tend to fervently glorify their small little world and pride themselves on beeing insiders where others can’t get in -
but I think this will in fact damage and shatter the p2p world on the long run.

Trackers that promote a closed clique and are eager to keep exclusive material they want to withhold from others are deeply going against the idea of (file-)sharing and free flow and access to information an digital content.

The best policy for tracker sites in my opinion would be to provide scarse but regular (and announced) opportunities to join the crowd and to enforce a rigid ratio policy that purges cheaters quickly.

Breeding snobby groups of self-centered bootlickers might be the aim (and sought pay-off for their work?) for some tracker-admins, but it definetly keeps the more normal and open minded people (declined access) out as well – and that serves no one on the long run.

I really miss demonoid! ;)

And I’m definetly not willing to spend hours and weeks kissing asses, looking for invites and trying to join groups of people, whoes first interest is to keep others out just to feel more l33t and foster their snobbyness …

Then bittorent can die![/quote]

Funny, while I was reading your comment Demonoid was the first name that came to mind regarding that behavior. I’m a little tired of constantly seeing the “I love Demonoid” or “I miss Demonoid” comments. Of course I (and many others) might feel differently if Demonoid had not closed sign-ups permanently. They could have the greatest content and community on the net, but it means little to the people who kept checking for months for the promised open sign-up times only to never see it happen. I’m sincerely happy for those of you who got in earlier when Demonoid regularly opened for new registrations, but forgive me if I don’t share in the enthusiastic lovefest after having a lot of time wasted.

I hope when they re-open they will be a bit more mindful about actually doing what they say in regards to periodic open sign-ups.

Also, the argument that people posted about it not being fair to be a members only tracker or that it would go against the whole “spirit” of sharing doesn’t hold up. Some things have to be limited for them to work efficiently. A group of strangers sharing files with each other definitely need efficiency. That does not mean however that there is a limit on the number of private trackers that could be available, so in all fairness, this is sharing at its best. If you can’t join a certain private tracker because the limit has been reached go off to find another one. It’s not big deal, scene is scene, no matter on what tracker you are.

what a lame comment..

Here’s a tip, from a respected staff member of a respected site, and a torrent scene veteran:

FUCK OFF AND KEEP IT OUT OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

loved that site, loved my ratio and loved the asian horror scene there. invited friends onto it and they found people to share with too.

since its gone though it just sucks. how can you befriend some one for an invite? how do you know what site you want to join?

the invite idea is good in principle but in a vast internet world it leaves countless in the dark. Give me a place to make torrent friends!

that’s what this is about aye? giving away invites?

thanks!

Is it possible to get an account (or more then one) with one of those off site backup storage companies that will back up your computer. Then somehow get your password and acct. posted somewhere on a website telling everyone to drop movies or whatever and pick them up from there. (Like a giant hard drive host)

That wouldn’t be “bit torrent” style traffic so hypothetically the data traveling back and forth would not be subject to the same scrutiny?? Just another big file moving in a sea of big files.

Could that work somehow?[/quote]

thats rapidshare and such sites

security and stuff = w/e i want some new tuneskees.

It’s really, really cliche and dumb.

However, ontopic, it’s really easy to get into a private tracker.

Like, incredibly easy. Lurk in an IRC for a day or so and not be an asshole and that’s really it. If I were a member of a **aa, I’d be set.

Scary.

I don’t feel as safe knowing that.
