Oh by the way...

So much for Peter Sunde and his buddies being passionate about consumer rights. As it turns out, their passion isn't worth 7.8 million dollars.

Lawl 'legit'.

i still haz google for my pirate torrenting needz, yarrrr
and the ship still sails...

whats funny is how someone mentions how there aren't any alternatives anywhere to the service pirate bay has.


god that individual is retarded.

Tenner it goes bust in a year

probably lol

people that go to the pirate bay have probably already moved on to other sites.


hell, i barely ever used piratebay because its one of the worst at what it does.

i used it for a bit, after torrentspy closed to US users and before I found mininova. then /b/ gave me a key to demonoid and i use demonoid almost solely.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wth fucking Swedish.... I was hoping that the pirates bay would hold out till after Christmas when I got a 500gb external hard drive I would have downloaded so so much stuff, damn sweds.

dude....piratebay isn't even a good torrent site

Hmm... I seem to remember you talking about how Pirate Bay was one of the better sites, because you always get what you think you're downloading, and you rarely get viruses.

Eh, probably misremembered. In any case, this is funny, coming from the person who was bragging about how Pirate Bay was sticking it to the Man, and bankrupting the law firm that was suing them in order to protect the consumers.

FUUUUCK!!!!
My connection is crappy, I've been downloading a long film for the past weeks. It's at 90% and now THIS happens??
-.-

Well, could anyone mention another site with good quality torrent downloads?

here's any easy one: buy the film

Demonoid.

I'll need an invitation for Demonoid, right?
And I don't think anyone I know even knows that site exists...

It's kind of one of the more popular ones, and no, you don't need an invitation.

demonoid is invite only.

alternative free sites:

mininova.org
torrentspy (for non us users)

but really, demonoid is the best site that doesn't keep track of ratios religiously.

IPT kicked me saying i was using artificial ratio boosting things. which i wasn't.

hehehehehe
Lucky me, my friend got into Demonoid about a week ago, and since my ratios are good, he's gonna send me an invite when he gets one.

just use this one

ratios?

seeders/leechers ratios I presume.

Ring, its Uploads/download. I.e, you have to keep a 1/1 upload/download, so you have to seed as much as leech. Also, there are better than demonoid out there, use a range of sites for all types of media.
This is a shrewd move by the piratebay staff; forced a massive trial beforehand, and pissed off the industry no end, and they know that others will continue the work; that 7.5 million will hopefully pay for a better lawyer to get them out of these prison scentences.

My two cents, a new pirate bay will be up soon enough, they only sold the domain, not the servers and kit.
