Which is probably for the best. Last I heard, they were developing their own variant of the BitTorrent software.

Actually, it's still up a.k.a. bi-torrent.com.

Another one bites the dust! Public MM is closing down too! :shamefulcry:

Anyone want to recommend a good jpop tracker?

I can't disagree too much with your cynicism, but you're a human too, neh?

As with any technology, idea, etc. you're gonna have your users and abusers... It's the unfortunate price you pay.

I'm with you :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry: :puppydog:

my sentiments too....

There's always Usenet which has been there since the beginning. That is, if you have access. I've been using it more often now that all the trackers are down. That's one alternative.

irc would be another one. but only those channels w/ fserves. haven't used it myself, but i guess i better start learning.

but i tink the best BT jpop site would still be public mm torrents... as it provides a wide varitey of Jpop stuff... jpopsuki is still new.. it onli provide variety shows =(... hope to see more music download there too...

do you have any good chinese BT sites to recommend???

jpopsuki focuses on TV torrents and despite what happened with the anime trackers and them receiving the cease and desist, the last time TV networks took a stand was when they formed Hobankyou to receive some money from what they feel Japanese rental shops were making money and they weren't from Japanese programming. I'm not saying that Asian TV torrent trackers are safe but the threat of what the JPOP trackers had by having US distributed JPOP music is what got the Japanese music labels to take notice.

I think the only thing that I can think of Hobankyou getting upset is that commercials are on the .avi files or certain groups receive the license to distribute Asian dramas like anime here in the US. I can tell you that I have had meetings with several individuals in the past few years who have been interested in doing that and are involved with distribution with anime and Asian films in the US.

As for Japanese music, the Japanese labels have been monitoring certain public trackers, so it's good for those involved to stop. The trackers were too easy to access, see what's on there and showing the downloads.

Granted, there will be different ways for people to access it and that's how things go for accessing MP3's on the Internet. IRC and FTP college accounts are still around and people will continue to find other means of getting access to downloading files.

I'm totally for going back to the good old days of l33t sites!

Back in 1983, I was running my own AE and Cat-fur dial-up sites (Apple II software pirate sites). And by the late 1980's when my friends and I figured out how to hack FTP, we were using FTP sites to create our own l33t download sites. NOTHING was open to the general public like P2P is today. Only a VERY SELECT FEW privileged individuals were allowed to log onto the server.

The whole basis to P2P is sharing. Yeah yeah, it's a "nice" thing to share, but you know what? Sharing in the open will bring down ANY decent system. If a punk teenager in a little down in North Dakota can get ahold of MP3's from xxyyzz, then so can the legal authorities. I remember in the old movie The Cannonball Run, those engineering girls invented a cop detector, where cops give off a certain odor. If someone could interface that device to a BT tracker, then you'd have it made!

But until then... People may have to resort to closed sites like FSS. If you royally hate the idea of a closed site, run around the block a few times, have a few brewski's, and sleep on it for a few days.... You'll get over that love of sharing in no time.

post whatever that hell you want.

Looks like eXeem is out by the people that brought you suprnova.org. Of course I'm not going to be trying this out for a while do to obvious reasons. :sweat:

I've just subcribe to Maxonline 6500. At first my dl rates thru Bitcomet are superb until recently it was so slow and barely dl aniting. I know that few days ago starhubs connection were disrupted but i believe by now they should have repair it.

I tried dl stuff from oth websites and there was no problem. However my Bitcomet isnt working rite. If it has something to do with my settings wouldnt the problem have started from the beginning. But why only now??

I hope somebody can help me on this.It soooo frustrating. :bow:

hmm are u under firewall? but idk i dont use bitcomet, i use bittornado

i am but i've oredi unblock Bitcomet...but i was all along under firewall but the connection was ook...

i also have problem connecting to torrents too.. using maxonline 6500 also.. they really have solve the problem huh starhub?.. btw im using ABC client.. neither can i download.. but i can download fast frm irc.. and website.. but not bittorrent..

Just out of curiosity have you tried using a different port range for your client? I would not be surprised if the ISP was doing some funny business with the standard port range.
