Thread: Torrent Sites

    Torrent Sites

    Did anyone notice that all of the major anime torrent sites are down, or is it just me?

    (Ah, Apparently there's a major power outage affecting all servers in Sweden)

    Indeed. They all seem to share the same host or something. Eclipse, Nyaa, & TT are all down.

    Edit: They're back up now.

    It's a place where you can get lots of oldschool or difficult to get torrents with peers. But it's a very closed community until recently.
    I had been waiting for so long for an invite that I did not even check the site anymore.
    Now that I got an invite, I remarked that registration is now fully open, so the invite is useless. Life's a bitch, as they say

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Demonoid

    Just logged in and it looks like invites are open.

    They moved the site to www.demonoid.me

    I might switch to newsgroup+vpn in the next 6 months.
    I'm moving, changing ISP because the ADSL is too slow at my new location... and I have to switch to a cable+fiber ISP to have nice dl speeds. But that ISP isn't as nice as the one I have now. So I need some privacy.

    Torrent is really a clever protocol, it's just that it's not stealth enough.

    I used to love isohunt but after mininova got shut down and stuff i stopped going there. Same with piratebay... stopped going there after they were having all their legal issues going on.

    Googling for torrent sites is dangerous too. There's much more fake malware infested sites than there are legit torrent sites.

    I stopped going to Piratebay after the legal troubles. It hits a bit too close since PB is/was in Sweden... Isohunt is who knows where, so I reckoned I'm safe with it for now. Although maybe even more importantly I used Piratebay for programs, which are along with western music and movies/tv series the most hunted category (by copyright enforcers), whereas I use Isohunt for anime/manga. I have never heard of anybody who would have got into trouble because of anime/manga over here.

    Same, though minus PirateBay.

    I've yet to work out how that all works yet. I'm still relying on private trackers and hoping for those decentralised P2P programs that spawned from Winny to take hold somehow.

    Pirate Bay and Isohunt are a bit different in that one's a tracker and another's an index. Isohunt's still alright for me. Pirate Bay's pretty much dead to me, and anything that can be found on there will most likely turn up on isohunt's index anyway.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    So now that Demonoid.me is down for the count, where is everyone going for torrents these days? :P

    assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense

    Ive tried using speed.cd, its pretty good.

    Kickasstorrents is probably the closest to demonoid.es

  18. #18
    Thanks Carnage! Looks like speed.cd is closed for members right now though. kickasstorrents isn't too bad.

    Edit.
    someone mentioned it - it is kickasstorrents.

    Can anyone say how secure private trackers are from DCMA/MPAA/RIAA detection? Or does the client you use matter more for privacy?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
