With the fall of Suprnova and Lokitorrent alike, the torrent world seems hopeless except for a eXeem which brings a glimpse of hope among people. How do you feel about MPAA shutting down these sites. We have a right to share! So what if the billionaires lose hundrend thousand? They still make uber cash!
Give ur opinion |

Give ur opinion I think things would be much better if copyright was reduced in time to something like 50 years. Then more stuff would be open and there would be less excuse to pirate. Also, people couldn't mooch from the past, so there would be more incentive to make not-crap(as in everything just about on the US radio these days). Yeah, **** the holywood/music people. I say this as a person who WORKS for said. Most of the time the money goes to the least important people. |

I was very upset at the suspension of Suprnova. They had many movies and games out the same week as their actual release in theaters and stores. Now who's left? isoHunt and Torr-bott? I havn't been able to connect with the latter, but they had near 200,000 torrents.
It doesn't mean we won't be able to get files when we want (forget waiting for dvd releases!), it'll just take some more search time... [you beat me while I was still typing!] |

Yeah i loved suprnova it was my main site for my torrents now sometimes it's a struggle to find what your looking for one then one website most of the time i have to check out 2 or 3 sites before i find a file and then it's only got like 3 peers 0 seeds. But on suprnova it used to get the job done. And as agentmax said you spend more time searching through all the crap before you find what your looking for. But a good torrent site is www.torrentspy.com if you haven't already been there, they have a nice range of torrents but it's no suprnova

P2P is not any worse than the introduction of the home VCR recorder, it will do nothing to hurt the industry. But I use torrent spy right now, it'[s ok but not as good as SN or LT.

If eXeem is our little piece of light, then we just fell into "in"ternal darkness. Many indepth scans of eXeem shows that there first release had some form of adware with it. So there first move, was to become the Kazaa of Bittorrent. And to prove my point, there is even a Lite version. Coincedence?

eXeem was just another money-making file-sharing application like Kazaa that didn't work too well. There still are a lot of good torrent sites out there. I don't think they will be able to shut down all the sites because as more get shut down, the other good ones just pick up in popularity and more sites still open. My personal Bittorrent favorites are mininova, btefnet, The Pirate Bay, and BTSource. For news, BitTorrent News is pretty good.

I had been to lokitorrent and supernova. I don't know much about torrents, but I did try to see how they worked once. I found another site similiar to those which seemed stable. Might not have the latest and greatest, but friendly pple and good torrents.
www.demonoid.com You have to make a free account to get access. It's also based on a ratio rule. |
