Pre Database, Scene Release and Dupecheck Websites
January 26, 2009 by sharky
Unless you have hundreds of accounts at various private trackers, you’re most likely missing out on the majority of what is being released (leaked) from the scene. Even so, it’s been estimated that 90% of scene releases don’t make it to BitTorrent at any level; whereas IRC, Usenet and even eD2k offer much more variety for those who seek out hard-to-find scene stuff. If you’re looking for something specific, dupecheck and preDB websites contain a wealth of information for the latest 0day and 0sec releases.

LimeWire 5 - Is It Any Good, Or Just More P2P Junk?
January 20, 2009 by sharky
Tech-savvy torrenters snicker at anyone who continues to use LimeWire and similar-style P2P applications. Ever tried to convert your LimeWire-Luvin’ friend into joining the world of torrents? Not an easy task in most situations - you either get it, or you don’t. Having said that, for P2P’ers who can’t wrap their head around seeds, peers, swarms, ratios, H&Rs and other torrent-techie jargon, making the switch from version 4.18 to the all-new & drastically improved LimeWire 5 offers some substantial benefits over its predecessors. Take for instance, automatic file & folder sharing - this is disabled by default, so you won’t end up like Jammie Thomas.

Complete List Of Torrent Seedbox Services - Part II
January 19, 2009 by sharky
A continuation from the last article, here are 20 additional seedbox providers. We personally tested many of these seedbox providers, and give our personal opinion where applicable - much of which can be found here. Configurations and services vary greatly, due to the fact that most seedbox hosts offer shared systems & resources. However; some offer dedicated seedboxes, whereby you’ll be the only one using the server.

Complete List Of Torrent Seedbox Services - Part I
January 19, 2009 by sharky
This is likely the most comprehensive assembly of torrent-ready seedbox companies and services you will find on the interwebs. Whether you’re looking for a ready-to-go dedicated or shared seedbox with TorrentFlux, uTorrent WebUI, or even rtorrent - you’ll find a solution here. There are pros and cons to what each provider offers, in which we try to address - many packages come with unlimited torrents, although the tradeoff is a monthly bandwidth usage cap. Others have limits on the number of active torrents, but the bandwidth throughput is uncapped/unmetered.

Auto-UnRAR Your Torrents in uTorrent The Easy Way
January 17, 2009 by sharky
Scene-release torrents getting you down? Looking for a simple solution to tackle all those troublesome archived RAR files in µTorrent? AutoExtractor takes all of the hard work out of having to manually unpack multiple RAR files. Finished torrents are automatically extracted - by default to the same path - and the original RAR files are left intact, so that the torrent happily continues to seed as though nothing happened. What could be more clever?

The ‘Private Tracker Metasearch’ Becomes A Reality
January 16, 2009 by sharky
Public torrent metasearch sites are almost as popular as torrent indexers themselves - why search just Mininova when you can search MN, TPB, IsoHunt and others - all at the same time. It makes good sense, although this idea has never been all that successful when transferred over to private trackers, to say the least. We’ve all been dreaming for a way to simultaneously search our private accounts without the hassle of having to launch each tracker in a new browser tab, and then have to search them one-by-one. Let us present the Web’s first publicly accessible private tracker metasearch site.

10 Really Cheap Seedboxes That Anyone Can Afford
January 15, 2009 by sharky
With the spiraling popularity of private trackers, dedicated servers from OVH, LeaseWeb and other providers are being snapped up at breakneck speed. As you’re probably aware, many of these buyers split up the box into multiple accounts, and throw on a torrent client such as TFlux, uTorrent WebUI or even wTorrent - effectively becoming ‘resellers’ of the original dedibox. Competition for your dollars has never been higher, which is why seedbox sales & services have popped up around just about every corner of the interwebs. The old adage YGWYPF still applies, but there are some sweet seedbox deals if you know how (and where) to look. Here’s 10 inexpensive seedboxes that just about anyone can afford, starting at under $10 a month.

FunFile Fail; Spinoff Sites That Are Good For BitTorrent
January 12, 2009 by sharky
We could only speculate on the future for FunFile.org, albeit it would appear somewhat dim. Absentee ownership; the last-minute cancellation of the highly-anticipated CDN, squandered funds, and the recent mutiny (and not-so-recent) of members & staff departures alike, have at the very least, spurned some incredible new private trackers - overall, this is good news for the BitTorrent community.

TCP-Z - The Best TCP/IP Patcher for All Windows OSes
January 04, 2009 by sharky
If µTorrent is bogging down your high-speed Internet connection - whereby web browsing becomes extremely slow or either stops altogether - symptoms point towards an unpatched TCP/IP half-open limit. Most patchers directly modify the TCPIP.SYS file, which usually results in undesirable MS security issues and/or false positives from antivirus software. TCP-Z is different, as it alters the TCP/IP limit in memory, for a safe & fast solution under any Windows OS environment (including x64 Vista and the new Windows 7). Release the power of your network; download faster, and run more Internet tasks simultaneously - all without the side-effects of other patchers.

Oscar-Season Movies You Shouldn’t Have Access To
January 03, 2009 by sharky
Tirelessly, the MPAA continues to target torrenters who are sharing their films. Realistically, we can’t blame them for wanting to protect the digital rights of their precious copyrighted content. But the bigger issue stems from the direct "leaks" from Academy members, some of whom are more than happy to provide release groups with inside movies that just shouldn’t exist (yet) at the P2P level. There are more DVDSCRs than ever before; and Russian R5s, CAMs & Telesyncs have taken a backseat to high quality, Academy "only" DVD and VHS screeners that are being released (leaked) well before scheduled theatrical dates. Below is a list of films that are available on P2P; most of which can’t be found in theatres.
Defiance
- Theatical Release Date: January 16, 2009
- P2P Leak Date: December 31, 2008 (torrent)
