Demonoid has been back up for a while..

It won't be long before TPB is back in service either. It never is.

The fan we used for our fsae car radiator was about the right size and pushed a lot of CFM. I'll try to dig up and link the part for you if I can figure out what it is.

Private trackers are where its at. Awesome pre-times, great seed rations, pretty much unbeatable.

I never used Pirate Bay after I started using Demonoid, and after that was taken down I started using Kickass Torrents for general ****.

For weeaboo **** there is but one option

Its a private invite to a site which has strict reupload rules on its trackers.

So the hosted torrent files are shared only within the site, and you are guaranteed extraordinary speeds (typically at your full bandwidth within the first few days of a show,movie etc being released).

You get permabanned for not following seeding rules.

It's what Hustler does when he likes you...

Actually, it's when you have downloaded all the parts of a torrent and start to upload parts to other downloaders.

It's back up.




Also, this would be a good time to casually mention the dual concepts of anonymous private VPN service (eg: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) and client-side blacklisting (eg: http://www.peerblock.com/)

Guess i'm the only one who pays for a rapidshare account.

Direct download, at your max bandwith, no waiting, no seeding, no trackers, no BS.

I do use Demonoid sometimes though. I remember when i finally got an invite years and years ago, felt like a badass.

IIRC at the time Demonoid went down, I had downloaded over 1TB and seeded something like 2TB. I havent checked it out since it has gone back online.

I was really bummed when TheBox went down a few years ago. I had such a massive S/L ratio it was kind of hilarious. Haven't been on any private trackers since- never really needed one what with EZTV and TPB taking care of everything.

I only use private trackers exclusively, mainly just for simple safety concerns. That and the speeds typically can't be beat.

Public trackers are too sketchy. I've received one notice years ago using a public tracker. Never again.
