| I know someone who got 3 letters in a month all with the name of the movie in them.
Obviously Pirate Bay is being heavily tracked by MPAA workers and should be avoided.
Anyways I have never had a problem finding anything to resort to using Pirate Bay.

said by KrK  :...because of their name and because they have that "Shove it sideways" attitude when people accuse them hosting pirated files.... An attitude that is accurate since they do not HOST the files but just list what P2P Client Addresses to contact to get the file contents. They are no different from Google in that they list locations of the files not the files themselves. Those the claim that PB "Hosts" the files are confusing serving a file with listing a URL to access the file from its real location - PB does the latter not the former. |

So can you still download from the public side or is it smaller community(network)? |

Re: Pirate Bay gets all the attention
I hate to say this but I have picked up more viruses on mininova than I have on TPB. It's almost a 2:1 ratio.
TPB (least to me) does a better job filtering the garbage. |

Re: Leecher Free FTW
Most require you to have a membership to upload and download and the ratio for that membership is tracked so if someone hits and runs or leeches too much they get the boot. It's also easier to keep the industry shills out and spoofed files get caught pretty quickly and taken down (same with infected ones). |

Re: Pirate Bay gets all the attention
No torrent site filters files or scans them.
No torrent site hosts anything to be able to do what you think they do.
I have never heard of anyone getting letters about downloading except from pirate bay trackers, so your 2:1 ratio bullshit is garbage. Also I have never downloaded a virus from any tracker site let alone mininova.

| said by r81984 :I have never heard of anyone getting letters about downloading except from pirate bay trackers,... Hello my name is david and I haven't gotten one yet.
said by r81984 :so your 2:1 ratio bullshit is garbage. Also I have never downloaded a virus from any tracker site let alone mininova. Well as far as the 2:1 ratio, it seems when I just do a simple test of a show I miss I like to watch I get more hits on the A/V and malware from Miniova than TPB. For instance, I missed a mythbusters episode I wanted to see. All 4 sources from mininova.org were nothing but hosted torrent viruses. TPB had as least 2 that were not viruses or "torrented viruses" (if that's appropriate).
Of course then again I still have a VCR and videotape, I guess I could have recorded the show for next time.
AFAIK, the 2:1 stands in my eyes based on a simple torrent tracker test of just a simple TV show. Another one was I wanted to watch was the knight rider 2008 episode. Again, another night I just missed the show I went to mininova because TPB didn't have it as of yet. Out of the 8 trackers I looked up 8 were nothing but hosted torrent viruses. I waited about a week later and TPB on it's first search and successful download I was able to watch the show with the first one.
So in my eyes (or as least here) mininova seems to be just about a complete miss to me. It's ratio with me is 2:1 based on attempts tried. I got more success on TPB than I have with mininova.

Course Mininova is pretty good at keeping fakes off their site too. |

You can find a virus anywhere and it really doesn't matter where you go.
Even going to Sears.com you can get a virus. |

Re: Pirate Bay gets all the attention
what do you mean about viruses? what kind of files are you downloading that are viruses? i've downloaded hundreds of things from these sites and not had one. also, the top 10 hits for knightrider 2008 look legit to me. |

Getting an email from mpaa or your isp is extrmely a rare case and you're just targeted out of the random ones they choose. It could happen on any site
My friend I have never received an email
Its a hoax, you fall for it you lose your mind.
Its an attempt to scare you into stop sharing
That's all...
Peace out  |
