Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:18:26 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/happy-birthday-mininova-4-years-young-today-090115/#IDComment14059238 http://torrentfreak.com/moviex-bittorrent-tracker-vipdonations-stolen-090110/#IDComment13866122 I agree. There are plenty of private trackers out there that are functioning quite well without leeching from other trackers without the users of the other trackers knowing. MovieX isn't one of them, and I'm sure the bittorrent community will survive without it.

A variety of genres and some FLAC torrents and other varieties would benefit the site greatly. The site has a lot of potential, though, and I can see it growing and becoming better in the future. Unfortunately, that will also mean increased attention from the RIAA and the record labels, and I didn't verify this myself but another commenter said the website was hosted in the United States - if that's true, the future of the site may be bleak. Only time will tell. For now I think I'll continue to use private trackers which offer a greater variety of genres and music that doesn't play on American Top 40. ;) Sun, 11 Jan 2009 03:07:11 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/codafm-a-refreshing-music-torrent-site-090111/#IDComment13866073 http://torrentfreak.com/utorrent-grows-to-28-million-monthly-users-081225/#IDComment13148469 Do you really think if uTorrent was phoning home with any sensitive information that someone would not have discovered it by now and that news would spread across the internet like wildfire? I can name a lot of software that automatically checks for updates. It can be turned off as well if you don't want uTorrent to make any outside contact.

If not, why are you on this blog with all the other file sharers?

It has a very small footprint (uses a low amount of resources when running and only 250KB to download, some .torrent files are larger than that), it has many features like labels and scheduler which I find very useful, it's supported and recommended by pretty much every private tracker on the internet, it's now available in beta for Mac, everything about it is great. I'm not so happy about the Bittorrent Inc. acquisition and what could come of that in the future, but that's another thought for another day.

Why not put the millions of dollars wasted in this into education, health care, infrastructure... something that has a purpose? With Stephen Harper and the Conservatives in power here in Canada, I fear that we'll be seeing this here soon. That, and the new copyright law and that stupid bill that was supposed to make unlocking your GSM cell phone illegal. Ahh government. You never cease to amaze me.

I'd understand if it were a link to something that was copyrighted but this is a free and legal download and it's strange how the article is dedicated to it yet it doesn't have a link for people to download it. :| Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:36:56 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/new-george-michael-track-survives-on-the-pirate-bay-081227/#IDComment13146741 http://torrentfreak.com/christmas-is-all-about-sharing-so-is-bittorrent-081225/#IDComment13101330 Merry Christmas everyone!

The music, movie and game industry needs to wake up and embrace these wonderful new technologies that arise instead of continuing on with years-old business models.
