nsane.forums Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 With an impressive 175,820,430 visits and close to a billion page views in the last 30 days, Mininova set a record that they will be unable to break in the near future. Last August a Dutch court ruled that Mininova had to remove all links to ‘infringing’ torrent files, with disastrous consequences. Since it is technically unfeasible to pre-approve or filter every potentially infringing torrent file, the Mininova team decided to throw in the towel and only allow torrents to be submitted by approved uploaders. This move resulted in the deletion of more than a million torrents, many of which were not infringing any copyrights at all.Thankfully, there are still plenty of alternatives for those BitTorrent users who are looking for the latest Ubuntu, OpenSUSE or Fedora release.Below we provide a random list of public torrent sites that are still open, but there are of course hundreds more sites we could have included. If your personal favorite is missing, feel free to post it in the comments below – preferably with your reasons why it should be included in any upcoming lists.1. Vertor2. SeedPeer3. Torrentreactor4.

nooooooooo Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 How could you not list torrentz.com?Most results, groups by hashes, lists all trackers, low ads, tells last update time, indexes other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 How could you not list torrentz.com?Most results, groups by hashes, lists all trackers, low ads, tells last update time, indexes other sites.That is the point, torrentz.com is an indexing site, a search engine... while those posted above are separate torrent sites.

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 27, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think I'll try KickassTorrents.How could you not list torrentz.com?Most results, groups by hashes, lists all trackers, low ads, tells last update time, indexes other sites. You are right. But as long as I know torrentz.com searches the torrents from the sites and shows it. It doesn't host any torrent. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise overall it's a good site. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Mininova has been a target since 2005.. It is the reason that legitimately going out and screaming about your favorite place to download and adding little files to downloads, also little 'CRED' notes.. well they just don't seem like a good idea and something I ALWAYS wondered why people did it.. to be honest..

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 28, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well it seems unlikely. Somehow it makes me feel that they haven't deleted any torrent from their database. They have removed them from the site but not their storage. It's just a feel/dream though.You know what? You can still do illegal file sharing there. This is how -Upload a software or a game that needs a serial to activate. Now upload a trial version torrent there. Now go to the comments section and post the serial. You are done. ;)This may work as for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
