Demonoid is a bit too public for my liking. I'm even further underground than it.

The authorities know about Demonoid existing, so it could be shut down or raided anyday.

Yes, if you're downloading something you usually have to pay for, or thats owned by someone else.
This includes tv programmes, films, music, applications, e-books...

Demonoid's well risky. (my two cents.)

No? Okay then!

But yeah, you're right. The RIAA and MPAA know it exists.

There are tons of other good torrent sites

This one is also very dangerous. It's a very public tracker that the authorities are also monitoring.

[Billy]

what ones arent dangerous lmao

[Lauren]

Well they're all illegal, so none of them are safe :bigsmile:

But if you insist on being a little rebel, go for private invite-only based communities. They're hard to find.

[Billy]

Lmao kk

[Stu]

I go for mininova myself . Theirs no way im paying for something when I can get it for free .

[Sarah.]

I only download Lost once a week from torrentspy, the pirate bay or mininova.

[Mark]

I use a site that's free if you keep a 0.5+ ratio of sharing. Im currently downloading all 14 seasons of US survivor, so I'm going to have to pay the site to give me more download ratio, or I'll get kicked off :)

I get insane speeds from it (400kb/sec) so I don't mind paying.

I only ever download music, and I'm on one of the best music torrent sites out there (anyone guess? It's quite well known but secretive).

[Stu]

I never understand any of that raito sharing thing. Maybe thats why everything I download is uberslow.

Are my supposed to leave stuff thats finished downloading in uTorrent so others can download it from my computer , hence increasing my ratio?!

Yeah, when you leave it open in uTorrent (or whatever client you use), it means when other people download it, they're getting caches of data from you (i.e. you're seeding(uploading) data to them). The more you upload back, the higher ratio. A lot of private-based torrent sites require a 1.0 ratio or higher to keep your account (which means you have to upload the same amount that you downloaded).

Cheers for that :thumbs:.

You can't seed and watch at the same time though can you?

And I use mininova, I use isohunt now and again but mainly mininova. I thought it was all legal.

You can.
If you leave the .torrent file open in your torrent client it uploads to other people. Once you've finished downloading a file you should copy and paste it into another folder so you can rename it whilst watching it or whatever etc without it effecting the upload though.

And yes, it's very illegal :laugh: There's been thousands of law-suits over it's usage.

[Riz]

.....soo does anyone have an invite?

[Riz]

topic can be closed and deleted thanks for the code and thanks mark for offering it but i have it already now xXxXxXx

stuff torrents, get a rapidshare account for £4 a month and you can download anything at breakneck speed.way faster than torrents and yoou dont have to seed anything, which is the part that gets people in trouble. theres even search engines to find files that are hosted on file hosting sites, http://www.shareminer.com/ <that one rules, id rather be downloading stuff at 240+k/s than farting about with torrents where everyone can see your ip.
£4 is nothing when you can download so much.....
