5 Reasons Why You Need To Be a What.cd ‘Power User’
September 24, 2008 by sharky
Almost every tracker has a user class designated for "Power Users" who go above and beyond by crawling out from the mediocrity of regular "User" class. Becoming "PU" on most sites is straightforward enough - just download a lot and seed (even more), and you’ll likely get there eventually. Most trackers offer PU’s the ability to view NFO files & Top Ten lists, make requests, with perhaps an invitation thrown in once in a while. With What.cd, it’ll take a tad more effort than just simply downloading & seeding to become a Power User - but of all the private trackers, being PU at What.cd really is in a class of its own. No other tracker comes remotely close to offering similar site ‘perks’ and exclusive features that What offers their PU’s. Here’s 5 reasons why it should be every members’ #1 goal to reach Power User status at What.cd:

Elude BitTorrent Throttling ISPs With Free OpenDNS
September 23, 2008 by sharky
For Comcast and other major ISP subscribers, BitTorrent is not exactly a user-friendly protocol. Sandvining and other throttling techniques employed to block, limit or shape BT traffic are more commonplace than ever before. Comcast in particular is increasingly becoming more efficient at sandvining, and almost all BitTorrent clients are now non- or low-resistant to this scheme. Fortunately there’s an arsenal of services that can efficiently used to promote torrenting, such as paid VPN services and remote seedboxes.
For those who are tight for cash, here’s one free solution that has had moderate success with Comcast subscribers in particular. It’s called OpenDNS - and it works through computers (on a variety of OSes), routers, and even through existing DNS services.

Get Ready For the Relaunch of VReel.net For HD Video
September 18, 2008 by sharky
VReel.net is set to take over where Stage6 left off, and is currently in the final stages of launching Beta v2 - likely finalized before the end of this month. Although comparing VReel to a “Stage 6 clone” wouldn’t be entirely fair - or even correct - as they’ll be incorporating their own leecher-proof media player, complete with superior H.264 encoding.

Latest OiNKPlus v10 Enhances Music Trackers
September 17, 2008 by sharky
If you happen to be a diehard OiNKPlus fan, you’re probably already aware that one of their flagship features - the Last.fm media player - hasn’t worked for quite some time. The OiNKPlus coding team has worked tirelessly to correct the issue that pertains to the upgraded Last.fm structure, and it is now once again available in the newly-released OiNKPlus version 10. Other key upgrades include the addition of SSL to What.cd, and improved embedding into other supported BitTorrent sites.
For those of you who don’t know what it’s all about, OiNKPlus is a media enhancer and artist discovery add-on for Firefox, that works in collaboration with many music trackers (and other select BT sites). The added OiNKPlus info cleverly coalesces within the supported website for seamless integration on the .torrent download page - and it even works with The Pirate Bay and mininova. Below is a look at the before and after examples on What.cd and mininova.org:

Everything You Need to Start Up a Great Private Tracker
September 14, 2008 by sharky
These days, setting up a private BitTorrent website is almost as easy as setting up a blog. Simply grab a domain name, purchase some hosting (that supports torrenting), and install yourself a script such as TBDev, TBSource, or even Gazelle. Tweak it up a little, add some custom images, and voilà - an instant torrent site. It’s done all the time. But to launch a successful private tracker, there’s more to it than that. No, we’re not talking about badgering members into donating to keep it running - you need an angle that the real pros are using. This includes the entire A-to-Z gamut of IRC services such as PreBots, PreNET and IRCd - not to mention total anonymity with offshore bank accounts & offshore hosting.
It’s not often that true sceners will divulge the secrets for developing a private tracker and turn it into something really special - and even profitable. This is "in-the-know" knowledge that takes years of internal scene experience to hone - rarely is it information easily parted with. For the first time ever (that we’ve ever seen), we’ve found a select group of sceners who are more than willing to help the aspiring private tracker owner achieve the ultimate BitTorrent site.
Want to know more? Inquire here at this IRC channel - irc.p2p-net.eu/#programming. The OPs will be more than happy to answer any questions. Here’s a condensed look (and explanation of) just some of the outlined services that are being offered:

New Online Service To Add Trackers To Your Torrents
September 08, 2008 by sharky
Finally there’s a web service that allows for the addition of alternative working trackers to existing torrents. Introducing btReAnnounceR - the new online utility that finds more trackers for any public torrent, and adds them to the ‘announce’ list. So why would anyone need more trackers in a torrent? For a variety of reasons, such as:
- • Your torrent stops at 99% completion (or less). Adding alternate trackers to the list can assist in finding more peers to connect to.
- • Increase the download speed of existing torrents. Downloading a torrent and it seems too slow? Adding alternate trackers can increase connectivity, and download speeds.
- • Some ISPs (even countries) are blocking certain trackers. This can be circumvented with alternate trackers that are not on their blocklist.
- • The primary tracker is down or offline. Many public torrents have only one tracker (in the announce list) yet the actual files may be spread across additional trackers.

The 10 Best Torrent Meta-search Websites & Aggregators
September 04, 2008 by sharky
Public torrent sites can be broken down into two categories: torrent index sites (or torrent directories such as mininova, isohunt and thepiratebay); and torrent search-engine aggregators, more commonly known as torrent meta-search sites. A torrent meta-search will pull its results by crawling other torrent websites and indexing links that point to meta data .torrent files.
To break it down even further, some meta-search sites offer real-time results from the top torrent sites, usually shown in one page for easy browsing and statistical comparison. Others will display a less aesthetically pleasing (but often more thorough) search that’s built to mimic the Google search engine. Whichever way you prefer to conduct your torrent searching - here’s the best of the best, and why.

Use Podmailing to Send Large Files Via Email, BitTorrent
September 01, 2008 by sharky
Podmailing is a peer-to-peer mail service that incorporates BitTorrent as the protocol for sending/receiving large files and folders. Podmailing is a simple and efficient way to send and receive large files and folders by e-mail. It even works with ultra large files of several Gigabytes (there’s no size limit). You just need to install their Podmailing software for Windows or MacOS X in order to start sending files for free. It is very simple because it works just like composing an e-mail.
OK, enough with the shameless plug - on with the tests!
