Mininova.org GONE!

Guru Maith Agut

Don't know if many peeps on here used this torrent share facility but just logged on there and it has been all but closed down due to the Utrecht court ruling:

Utrecht, August 26th 2009 – Today the Dutch Court of Utrecht ruled that BitTorrent platform Mininova acts unlawful. Mininova considers to appeal this judgment.

Full ruling here: http://blog.mininova.org/articles/2009/08/26/mininova-considers-appealing-in-brein-case/


And Mininova's side here: http://blog.mininova.org/articles/2009/11/26/mininova-limits-its-activities-to-content-distribution-service/



Shame really as it was a useful tool for even TV series that were aired in the states. It appears there will be no stone unturned in the fight against illegal uploads.

I prefer downloading off super quick servers with no software required other than an optional download manager :cool:

It depends entirely on where you get it from, popular songs will more likely have better bitrate tracks.

Yeah because it's so easy find unpopular stuff which download at good speeds with a torrent.

Torrents are ****. End of.

Interesting. A healthy torrent is a well seeded torrent. Hence, if a torrent is unpopular by virtue of very few seeds, it will go slow.

The only torrents I know anything about are the torrents of abuse that I give to my children on a daily basis.

Lazy little bastards. :mad:

I use torrents for all my albums and sometimes for the odd movie here and there.

Then i use Premium rapidshare for all my tv series and hd movies and stuff, using either coolhd.org or katz.cd... either are fine, but if you are a RS user, make sure you check out either of these two programs...

RapidwareX

JDownloader


Both are awesome, but JDownloader is better.

FFS. Go out and buy your films, music and whatever else legally. Cheap bastids.

There is so much out there on torrents that you just can't buy anymore though.

On a sidenote - Utrecht has to be one of the loveliest cities I've ever been to.

Anyway, there'll be a replacement soon enough. Dutch and Swedish law is becoming more draconian (which is a shame, because they've got really computerised societies that like the same kind of stuff as us, so perfect for uploading :pac:) but it'll all move east.

Folks we do not allow discussion of illegal torrents or where / how to get them. Please be aware of this.
