Mininova starting to filter contents, any other good alternatives?

I know there's TPB, but are there other torrent tracker/indexing sites that have good user feedbacks on the torrents? I'm not looking for a site that just scrapes the net for .torrent files, but something like Mininova where the user submits the files and have user feedbacks on the torrents. Thanks.

not really sure for music coda.fm is the best in fact the only reason I don't use it all the time is because I have a what account but I would suggest just getting a demonoid account if you aren't a member already I can send you an invite just pm me your email oh and I forgot you can use BTjunkie although I got a virus from visiting there site at one point in time so it's up to you.

I noticed the movie filters starting to work. Mini is now trashed!

[thepuzzler]

They never hosted a tracker anyway.

What's the big deal. No different from when Torrentspy went down.

Most, if not all, public trackers are hosted by TPB.

When they go down, private trackers really will be the only viable alternative.

I think Mini did start its on Tracker...at least I thought I remember using it once but the updating sucked. Personally I loved mininova and it worries me that the big public sites are filtering or soon will be. I don't like private sites and do not see them lasting forever either. This all worries me big time. If I could get back the 1.5TB of movies I just lost really quick I would not worry at all because it held about everything I really want. When I get all that back I will feel better but getting Hi Def versions of most films takes some time. Seems ol bittorrent is very slowly fading away. People will crawl more and more into the members only sites until they sue the pants off those people there...and then what? Get what you want now and be happy! Nothing lasts forvever!

I am a firm believer in tomorrow and think there will be a better way to do your file sharing but on a much more discreet ways. friend2friend may start to catch in not too distant future.

You know a site is filtering when the only search results for "Star Trek" is a home movie of Kirstie Alley driving to the supermarket to get 100 packages of Ho Hos and Twinkies.

Damn! I remember when she was so HOT! Nothing wrong with a BBW but most of the time its not what flips my switch. I like a healthy lady and hate skinny mini's but Christy really let herself go. She was doing so well to. I wonder what sent her running for the Twinkies again. She hit all the talk shows and was getting all the attention she craves for getting her weight back under control and then she blew up bigger than ever. Its NOT in her genetics either. She was always very fit so its an eating disorder which is the easiest thing to fix. STOP FEEDING THE FACE! You don't need to pay any group or join a plan just stop stuffing your face! I myself have been hitting the bicycle every day and I am feeling better than ever in most respects. Feeling good all over is so much better than a moments of gratification from a sugar coated doughnut. I am really enjoying my bike riding now that I am getting in shape somewhat. I can ride almost a mile at full speed but then I slow it down for the rest of my ride. My goal is to be able to do a few miles wide open. I like going really fast and the rush is great! a natural drug...

Newsgroups...
Retention can be a pain, but requesting usually works well, and everything is always top speed, no seeding needed.

Don't bitch that its not free, you can get a good service for well under $15 a month

[awdrifter]

Newsgroup is not an option, it'll cost way too much. Looks like I'll have to try some of the Russian sites that's on the site thepuzzler posted.

Paying even $15 per/month defeats the whole purpose of filesharing, does it not? They would have to call it file-selling. If I was going to pay for music I would go buy the actual CD's.

Mininova was a suprnova mirror before supr's demise but they advertised a minimal layout for easy point and click navigation. After nova they continued on seperate and maintained thier own search based on novas torrents and trackers list

Well then shut off your internet and go back to swapping cd's with your mates.

If you snail mail you pay the post office. If you fileshare online you pay your ISP. Me, I pay for access to some high speed servers for well under 15 a month. You depend on others to pay for their slower ISP's so you can access files. I just ensure I have a fat pipe to stream me stuff from the net, think of it as a second ISP, and for the price, you can not beat the speeds you get.

No matter what you do, you're paying most likely. And for me, ~$10 is well worth it considering I can suck down a few hundred GB a day. If you think paying for all that media is equal to that, you are nuts!

How much is too much? A 2.5MB/sec unlimited account is as little as $3/month US, and you can share the account with someone, although not download at the same time.
Another account is 6MB/sec and costs $3.50/month, with downloading allowed 14 hours a day. That's pretty cheap.

[l2boy]

what service do you use? that sounds really nice. A friend of mine uses this:

xxxxxxx Big Gig: $29.94 for 150 Gigabytes or 30 days, which ever comes first and up to 178 days of retention.

which doesnt look that good lol

[1cooldude]

While I am not going to plug any one single newsgroup, there are those that are better than the other but as RACK had already said "..paying for the service defeats the whole file sharing experience".

Good point, but I always consider the price for the monthly fee of internet to be exactly that. I'm paying to hang out with you guys, check news info, watch hilarious internet videos, join in on memes, etc, etc. Filesharing is a great bonus, but I would still be paying for internet if I wasn't filesharing.

When it gets down to it, I am almost morally against paying for filesharing. If I'm willing to pay for illegal files, then I should be willing to pay for the original works, which are legal. I might be able to justify it as a "demo fee" so that I can try stuff out before buying it, but my money still wouldn't be going to to the people that it should. Ya know, that would be a great way for the **AA's to get some money; offer a demo service. As long as the stuff you were demoing was full, to nearly full products, I'd be willing to throw down a low monthly fee to try stuff out until I want to buy it, or scrap it.

Same here.

I don't give a rats ass if anyone else wants to spend money on acquiring files, but I personally do not want to. I will get the same content for free (monthly isp included), even if it takes me 1-2 hours longer, wtf.

[drtoker]

Ok, so if some one used newsgroups for their intended purpose, you would have no issue with filesharing being a nice happy side effect, like you paying for your internet to chat and what not?

Because they do have a function, just like an ISP does...

I'm failing to follow your logic. You act as if I'm paying for one of those direct HTTP pirate sites or something. Its a legitimate service, not a pirate bay.

[Signa]

I don't mean to be coming down on you, and if I am, I'm sorry. All I meant to say was that I don't do it and why. And yes, I can't see a problem with that if you paid for news groups because you needed to, and not because you wanted free files.

You're missing the point. I pay for ISP, you pay for ISP, I don't pay to download the same files (movies & music), you pay a newsgroup. Is that clear and logical enough?

There ARE free servers btw. I've downloaded about 8TB from them. And some people pay to be VIP's on torrent sites, or get seedboxes.

I use to use the free ones a long time ago. The last time I looked there wasn't much quality content for free.

Paying for VIP or seedboxes also defeats the purpose, for me. I have been able to maintain good ratios on the quality trackers without paying, so far.

If someone wants to pay extra for VIP, seedboxes, newsgroups, faster download speeds, etc, I am ok with that. To each there own. I guess I'm cheap :/

couldn't really find it on the site but is there a download limit there? all I see is download 24/7 but not sure if that means unlimited download in the month.

It's unlimited.

[Ne007]

I would just join a private site....I've had alot of luck with them.

[awdrifter]

I download a lot, I would burn through 15GB in a week, so Newsgroup will cost me $20-30 a month. I'm using a Russian site right now, I can't read Russian, but Google translate helps. :)
