No biggie - when one torrent site falls, two rise in its place....theres always Ares client anyway...or demonoid.....or torrentspy/mininova/tpb etc...

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Demonoid has been gone for awhile now.
Oink was special because I could find rare stuff plus bands I never heard of and then I would buy their stuff.
Never would of heard of many bands otherwise.

 

[Kai]

JAV - er....demonoid was working as of ages ago - i just picked up the TimeShift demo via it...

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Kai invited me to Demonoid. I <3 it

 

[Fuzz420]

another strategy being used is to block all U.S. IP address. Certain torrent sites will not allow U.S. users anymore

 

[KicknAsphlt]

Proxy sites are wonderful for getting around that....heheh....

 

[daledoe]

That sucks balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O'well theres always one of the other hundred torrent sites

 

[Kai]

Kyle - ohhh yeah, i did didnt i

Want one for HDbits? ;p

 

[Fuzz420]

Proxy sites are wonderful for getting around that....heheh....

proxy+torrents= Slow dl speed

 

[Kai]

not if you use the proxy for the tracker alone

 

[KicknAsphlt]

proxy+torrents= Slow dl speed

You only need the proxy site to download the seed file from the website....
