Re: Pirate Bay gets all the attention

said by David See Profile :

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.
The reason is that some torrent on mininova.com are infected with virus a spyware downloader or trojan virus. There are many who have been banned from uploading porn or other forbidden stuff not allowed by the sites rule. So to get revenge it makes sense for them to upload infected torrent to infect as many people as possible.
These people are getting back at us in other ways as well...
We think they are mpaa slowing down our download when in truth its them leeching some of the torrent

on thepiratebay.org rarely anyone gets banned... you have to really piss off alot of folks... to lose your upload privilege.
on mininova.com getting banned is as easily as mislabeling a torrent, upload to wrong category, or an unworking torrent. many people love mininova and many hate it as well due to strict policy they enforce on users...
It's like walmart
