September 30, 2010 by sharky

After more than a month of intense development, BitTorrent’s hottest new movie tracker is ready for public launch. The Swarm, a new Gazelle-based multi-format film tracker, is actually still in a late beta phase but already incorporates some very impressive features.

The Myth of Free Private Trackers: A Commentary on the Economics of Private Trackers

September 27, 2010 by Buddhas Son

Private trackers are seen widely across the bittorrent scene as a means to a "free" end. At its most basic level, we need to start with: "Why do you join a private tracker?" The answer is to get all kinds of free content shared by the members of the private tracker community which you have joined. Yet, are private trackers really free? What are the economics behind private trackers? What allows private trackers to maintain their speeds and permits them to rapidly upload content at such a blazing rate? All these questions might to the un-trained eye be answered simply by saying that private trackers are able to do what they do simply by their members all having the same goals when it comes to sharing. I disagree, and as you will see, there is an entire micro-economy within the torrent world.

Aside from a very brief period of open registration more than a full year ago, never before has there been a better time to finally stake your claim to an account.

Mulve - A Unique Leech-only App for Fast, Free Music Downloads

September 20, 2010 by sharky

Music fans finally have something new to rejoice over; and that’s Mulve - a tiny standalone app that’s changing the way how music is downloaded. OK, don’t expect Mulve to replace What.CD anytime soon, but this revolutionary app is the answer to everything that’s wrong with conventional ‘peer-to-peer’ networks. With a searchable database in excess of 10 million songs, quite likely you’ll never use Limewire/Frostwire again - and with good reason.
