KP333 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The MPAA initiated shutdown of YTS and associated release group YIFY will have an even larger impact on the torrent ecosystem than many people expected. The group is also the operator of the largest public tracker, Demonii, which will shut down soon.A few hours ago the MPAA took credit for shutting down one of the biggest piracy icons in recent history.The YIFY release group and the YTS website shut down facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, which the New Zealand-based operator couldn’t fight.The downfall is a loss to many YIFY fans. However, the BitTorrent ecosystem at large will also be severely affected as it also signals the end for Demonii, the largest standalone BitTorrent tracker.What only a few people know is that in recent years Demonii was run by YIFY’s operator. As a result of the legal troubles with the movie studios, Demonii will soon go offline as well, bringing down another key player.With over 40 million people connected at any given time during the day, Demonii is currently the largest torrent tracker.At the time of writing Demonii still serves torrents to 41,622,554 peers, which translates to well over a billion connections per day. Impressive numbers that will soon become history.Demonii’s current statsEven without Demonii most torrents will still work fine, thanks to DHT and PEX, but the initial connections will take more time. This can slow down download times for many people.Trackers are also essential for those who use proxies, as they often have DHT and PEX disabled to prevent their real IP-addresses from leaking out.With Demonii, YTS and YIFY gone there’s no doubt that the torrent ecosystem has lost several big players. However, history has also shown that these are never mourned for long.It may be hard for other tracker to pick up Demonii’s load without increasing their capacity. But there are plenty of alternatives still around to fill the gap and more are expected to rise because of it.Source: TF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've yet to build something truly 100% decentralized+encrypted for file sharing. In the end, even Popcorn Time depended on domains that can be seized, and info and APIs of services that could be taken down, throttled, or just straight up banned. Build a way to store all that info in a decentralized database, and a search engine that can work solely on P2P shared metadata. Then encrypt everything and put the source of the code itself on such a platform. Only way to stop that would be to ban encryption and for all ISPs to drop ALL encrypted packets and send anyone who tries to use encryption to Gitmo.

They actually get the movie discs several weeks in advance so they can repackage and mark them based upon the system the store uses. And most of them let their employees take them home to watch before they are released to the public. It is easy to rip them and watch them at a later time. You don't get them as soon as a cam but you can't beat the quality when you do get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Besides that who wants to walk in a sticky theatre anymore... :P and sit in crunchy-sticky seats.. ( or worry about if the furniture is carrying and STD.. LOL ) and then listen to interuptions and talking all during the movie... up and down all over.... I haven't been to a nice theatre since 2000.. and I would have to drive for three hours to get there... to pay $6.00 for a box of junior mints or something... after the $10 ticket... and in this area.. a good movie is really harder to find.. I think may be in some cases because of cost of showing a BIG movie... the other may just be down to bad management.. Can't stand people who start talking as soon as something comes on.. if yo hit pause they stop.. then they start again the second you hit play.. I am good watching by myself for that reason... I have yet to find a good movie partner either.. LOL... I think these people probably talk too much about random stuff while they have sex too.. chatterbox.. ( sometimes you wish you have a can of sprayfoam insulation and ducktape..)( Don't anything about my posts in the forum.. ROFLMAO, what a forum is for .. LOL ) :PI used to rent a TON of movies on Xbox Video and I have done so with Groove as well... ( not tooting Microsoft's horn or anything ) the prices can be fom $3 - 10 do watch right in your own home.. RedBox is cheap but you still add in gas expenses and return trip.. ( If the machine does not spaz out )... thing is you have to be making money to do it.. you are not the guy at that point in time who is choosing between a soda and a sandwich...I don't watch cam versions of anything... It bothers me too much.. I am supposed to enjoy it not be thinking abot who that shadow on the screen was... or have audience banter.. or thinking about how bad the quality is.. I am supposed to be focused on the movie...In my opinion they should offer movies for a dollar.... it costs less to deliver them via internet.. for downloads.. most people can do this... very few buy or rent DVD's anymore..I think the movie industry is trying to hold on to a dying segment of the market and where they do make it available they are still trying to charge too much for it.. People already invest in PC's and devices to watch them, and even pay for the service which delivers it.. then we have to pay again to watch it.. In every case there are incurred costs.. You would think though that this process would move along smoothly however..At least we know how.... If something new to the scene comes along.. something as ground breaking as the torrent... I am sure I would check that out... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
