The leprechaun is updated regularly via DHT, the mystic network that connects all leprechauns.

Ie: I’ll paste the magnet I got on a site on [insert restrictive medium here] and I want to make it shorter. But I did get it from a place.. That’s why the magnet indexers are so important.

If Mgnet.me goes down, the magnet link behind http://mgnet.me/@p1e2 is lost.

Think that some of you should go back and read a TF article from not too long back http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-stop-domain-names-being-seized-by-the-us-government-110205/

I quote:

“1: Avoid registering domains that are handled by VeriSign or Afilias.

VeriSign operates .com, .net, .cc, .name and .tv while Afilias operates .info, .org, .mobi, .in, .me, .aero and more”

.me according to that article is not one of the safest… Instead of rushing in like fools why not be a little more patient and wait for .p2p?

Come on people, how difficult is it to copy and paste a link like magnet:?xt=urn:btih:01b3b9072bd873a9075ec27558c8ab50fe0e4539 into a bt client?

May be the thing to do is educate. It’s obvious from reading the comments in this section that there are still people who don’t know what to do with magnet links.

Instead of flooding Twitter with the Mgnet.me links, flood it with REAL magnet links along with another link to a specially setup web page giving easy to follow instructions on what to do with it (or even a youtube video).
