Since Pireate bay shut down, wondering what you guys use to download your music, movies, and tv shows.

 

Google.

 

There's quite a few torrent sites out there. I think we all saw it comming as the british government was getting on pirate bay. The thing is, you can shut down a torrent site and another one will pop up. It's just a matter of searching for what torrents are out there. You cannot eliminate the internet for christ sake. Google will provide limitless torrents. The Pirate Bay is just a name.

 

Pirate bay is still up. They just posted this a bit ago.

thanks for repeating the sites name, I didn't understand the first time.
Governmental viewing level 3? Is this the final level? what's the boss like in this level? I remember playing
Gradius 2(aka Life Force, aka Salamander, aka best shoot em up ever!!1 no it's not! yes it is! we
dont agree with myself) and on one level there was this huuuge brain with eyes and arms!! I almost dreamt nightmares
about that. luckily I ebeat his ass using the konami code. since then, I've been having serious knightmares about
that brain. just last week I saw this guy walking down the street who looked like a brain (I knows! craaazy!) and I
desperately searched for my NES controller. I didnt know if the guy had the power of lazors or not, but there waz no time to
ask. I finally found the controller in my bag (just under some rugged copies of 2600, a crappy print out of The Coming
Insurrection, a roll of tinfoil and a note with the phone number to a really nice guy I met last night at a bar in a
town I forgot the name of but he had blue eyes and cool shoes just the right type ya know but smelled funky.
Anyway, I pressed Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A and booom! I felt the power of Greyskull flow
through my veins. It was AWESOOOOOOME! Thanks to some previous power bars I now too had the power of laz0rs.
I quickly strafe-jumped to the left, then to the right and then to the right again while screaming Pew! pew! pew!
Nah! Nah! Nah! Peeew! (that gives more power to my lazors and usually defeats even the most annoying bosses and their
bosses bosses). Mr Brain then looked at me with pain and confusion in his eyes, clearly the lazors were working! When
he turned around (probably scared to death!) I quickly jumped behind a crate, reloading my lazors and stood ready if
the brain dude were to return. He didn't. Lucky for him mkey1 I wouldn't wanna turn on my god mode just like that.
So dont think that some level 3 bullshit will scare me. As I've just subliminally (you might wanna google that) told
you, I can deal with any level of bullshit. Yes i can, no i can't but i do!

dudes doing naughty things. Yeah! I'll be in your back! Hasta alta vista baby! Cum with me if you want to live!
Yeeeeaah... ...aaaaand I'm done k thx.

Thanks for the link, you just made it public to billions of file sharing dudes and dudettes.

I could go on a rant here about how no material is kept on our servers, and nowadays not even the torrents, and how
none of the material passes through our servers, and so on and so on. But since we keep on getting these crazy mails
from people like you, I won't bother.
But, on (a) I'll reply
Europol? More like Eurolol! Lololololol!!1 hahahaha ok we very funny
and on (cool.gif I'll reply
Yeah good luck with that. Ask your buddies at the MPAA, RIAA, MAFIAA and the american justice department how much effect
that usually does. We got raided once due the american government going to bed with the swedish gov and some pillowtalking
into an agreement about shutting us down. We were down for 3 days. Not as much of a problem comparing to how long it took
us to get online when a former admin went on a drunk rampage and was nowhere to be found (down for 5 days. some million in
fines, 4 dead sheep and a story never to be told, without level 4 clearance.. yeah, more than you have, you're only at level 3
lolololol)

Hey your're welcome! Feel free to grab some retractable batons on your way out. If the MPAA didn't grab em all.

I'm all good, but our users might have some questions, so you should
probably check your email tomorrow morning...

I use a private membership-based site. No viruses, ads or spam.

 

I don't worry about that because viruses are not a threat on Linux. Why would you pay for free information? Which site do you use? I can't wrap my head around paying for torrents. That's like buying air isn't it?

 

I don't pay. Neither does anyone else. We just all agree to re-seed, no leeches allowed. You say viruses don't bother Linux... fine, but what about when you search for a torrent and instead of getting a show you've been looking for, you get something else (virus, spam, nothing, etc...)? I prefer not to waste my time. Every file I DL is exactly what it says it is.

 

Just to name a few that are active.

btjunkie . org
bitenova . org
piratebay . org

 

best and safest ,I use demonoid.com its invite only to join someone already a member has to invite you . its very nice.

Magnetic links and torrents usually have information associated wiht them. I check the comments. What is the site you use?

I always reseed until my ratio reaches 1.5 then I stop seeding/delete the file from my hard disk. This way I give back more then what I received. Occasionally I delete a file before 1.5, so I try to make that up on others. Sometimes I let it go up to 10 or forever depending on the content. I will seed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS until the next LTS release.
