Slashdot Mirror

Suprnova has been teh f0unD?!?!? We are d00med!

Everyone into the escape boat! Women and children (heh, heh, heh) first!!!

The Suprnova stronly resembled a large collection of pirated games, moveies, and Television shows. Later confirmation sightings revealed it to be not in fact Suprnova, but only a mirror.

Wrong Suprnova. suprnova.org is the real (free) one. The perils of websquatters when what your doing in the first place is (probably, somewhere) illegal.

If you've got Bittorrent?

There are a hell of a lot of tv episode torrents out there for download with the torrent-downloader of your choice....Hell, I've got a few full seasons of shows like Las Vegas and Futurama....

Of course, BitTorrent is really easy to track, so if you're going to trade stuff illegally, BitTorrent isn't a good choice.

The difficult/annoying part in pirating xbox games is getting a modded xbox. I, for one, just find it too much of a hassle to mod, and until I do it would be impossible for me to get free xbox games (not that I would :P).

And how often to the 'end users' need to actually crack the software? No-cd cracks, keygens, and all the other stuff are available and as easy to get as the pirated software itself. GameCopyWorld, Packetnews, Suprnova, and a couple of clients are all you need, my friend.

Yes, hook yourself up with Azureus, and head on over to suprnova.org. You can download correctly-tagged MP3/Ogg/Flac/Monkey full albums, in bittorrent form. Fastest and highest quality free music available :)

Don't you mean software on demand???

And where does one find .torrent files for a particular file that I'm looking for?

Note the spelling - s u p r n o v a . o r g (no 'e' in suprnova) and that it's .org, not .com

You're welcome.

From what I've seen, I'd say it's about 99.9% infringing content, and 0.1% non-infringing, whether you go by instance or byte-count. Even when you factor in the other "legit" BitTorrent sites, like scarywater's anime, the overall ratio probably won't change much.

The amount of GPL'd and other open content is increasing, though. Slowly.

One of the problems with .torrents is diversity. I use suprnova.org to get my .torrents.

Does anyone else know of a good database of torrents? RSS Feeds? Websites?

Indeed. On Demand viewing is the future, and the future is here. I'm afraid I don't have much sympathy for the media companies if they fail to provide a legal alternative.

This is good. I am in favor of your company, and will recommend it to all my followers.

Edit: After doing copious research, I have discovered that this so-called "National Amusements" is nothing more than a puppet of the MPAA. As always, I urge my followers to boycott the MPAA and instead watch films at home using legal file-liberation tools.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to SUPRNOVA.ORG , would you?

Not that I am suggesting that anyone go to that site...

Why not? Suprnova doesn't host any infringing material itself -- neither did the late ShareReactor.com for that matter (whack-a-mole replacement: ShareConnector.com) -- but only .torrent POINTERS to data which MAY or MAY NOT infringe.

Of course, if the new "PIRATE" bill becomes law, a lawyer (in the U.S., so it doesn't matter until a treaty makes it international) might say that both BitTorrent itself and Suprnova "induce" copyright infringement, and indeed 95% of the torrents are to content released under restrictive copyright rather than freer copyleft.

Ok, 12 people that are currently involved in piracy might be more accurate. There are many, many people capable of cracking these codes. I mean, the NSA employs hundreds of people alone that can crack every game protection technique during their lunch break. In my upper division computer security courses we crack key systems like those used in games today for a warm up assignment. Granted it's all laid bare and not obfruscated to hell, but the basic techniques are there.

I would venture to guess it is more accurate that only 12 people in the world do crack protection codes because pirated software proliferates so quickly it's not worth a cracker's time when some guy in Germany put up the ISO two weeks ago.

12 people my ass. Don't think so highly of yourselves. Copy protection for video games only needs to be so good it keeps the pirates out for the first 2 weeks of sales. That is when most of the money is made anyway. After that who gives a damn?

Laughing Man Fansubs is dedicated to GitS translations. They do a pretty good job, tohugh they average about a month between releases (as torrent files). They used to have the entire first season available, but now they're just hosting the first 9 episodes of season 2.

You can try suprnova for the first season, or anything else really...
=Smidge=

It can't be copy protected *that* well if I was able to download it all from SuprNova the other week.

Linux isn't really that much easier to download than Windows, if you Look in the right places :)

Search suprnova for 'blake' - the apostrophe is still catching people out after all these years ;)
The first season is all there; other seasons can be found on edonkey...

I was an early TiVo owner. I paid for Cable. I upgraded my TiVo's HD, and got DirectTV... Then I got a DirectTiVo...
But one day, I realized that I was paying too much for the limited number of shows on TV I watching... so I stopped paying at all, because the net is a good source of all media now.

Now, I download my favorite TV shows from the net. Within hours of the Simpsons airing on 'free tv', I can download a DivX of it, watching it on my MythTV box, which outputs to my 60 inch TV, with no commercials either. Looks as good as Cable or DirectTV ever did. HBO shows like the Sopranos? CBS/ABC/Fox/NBC? The same thing. Pretty much all of the 'good' tv programs, I can download right away, thanks to Bittorrent.

Mixing Mythtv, RSS and Bitorrent is the killer app for media. It's coming soon... I'll just subscribe to shows, and they will just appear on my box... And every other Myth-style Box out there will help spread them. Even better than Tivo, since I can trust someone to manage an good RSS feed and I'll get everything they think I'd like... Or I'll pick 2 feeds, or 3 feeds, or a dozen... Or run one of my own for friends, etc etc.

We are already seeing things like this:
Michael Badnarik (the 2004 Libertarian Presidential Candidate) using Bittorrent: He's put his entire Constitution Class on downloadable video, for free over the Internet, using BitTorrent. 7 parts, each one hour long.
What would buying Primetime TV for this sort of exposure cost? And who would watch it, all 7 hours, if they did? But this way, grassroot politics, simply by bypassing traditional media! Watch on demand... Educate people... Expose people to ideas they aren't getting on Mass Media.
I want to see this man in a debate with Bush and Kerry now...

Death of traditional Media, due to Growth of Net, predicted, Film at 11.com

I've been getting movie dowloads from this site for months. Oh, and its free.

If this is what it takes to keep adventure games alive I'll be the first one to bury my PC in the back yard. Piracy is so bad on PC the only compelling reason anyone has to buy a legitimate copy is to get an online multiplayer code. Single player experiences like adventure games have no contingency plan against piracy like MMORPGs and FPSs do.

Rest in Peace PC. Long Live the Console!

Sadly, it was more like "too smart to stay on the air." See, American television viewers don't like television shows that make them feel stupid. Instead of watching intelligent, well-written shows like Futurama, they instead watch unintelligent pablum like "American Idol."

It's things like this that make me turn to the Internet, great liberator of properly smart programmes that were cancelled before their time.

I know you can find some episodes of Screen Savers on SuprNova.org.

Wireless HBO: www.suprnova.org

Here's a torrent listing of them

Clicky clicky

I've got a gut feeling that Novell's SuSE is going to eventually unseat RedHat as the #1 solution for server AND desktop, so I'd might as well dump my RH9 desktop for it now.

Use a torrent search engine you lazy bastard.

Naw, I found a better way to get all the music you want for a fraction of the price (Free).

Suprnova offers alot of CD's which are free. I don't care about legalitiys. I get all the tunes I want and don't have to pay like you suckers.

Meh, the artists arn't losing anything because im not costing them a cent to steal there CD's nor would I buy it even if I couldn't download it. Plus full CD's have the advantage of not sucking like P2P downloads. P2P downloads are bad for children encoding them wrong or fucking with the EQ so it's 99% bass and 1% highs.

Of course you guys are going to take a shitfit cause im not buying music and mod me to oblivion but please do. All I know is I don't have to spend a penny of my hard earned dollar on 1's and 0's. And who would "buy" a compressed medium. Like Mp3 or AAC it does have sound loss. I would almost consider purchasing flacs or some other one of the non lossy codecs. But it seems the ratio for bandwidth to cost would be too much.

Till then Suprnova is my friend.

Download it yourself from suprnova.org using bittorrent. I haven't downloaded KillBill2 myself (so I can't vouch for quality) - mainly as I haven't even seen more than a poster of KillBill_1_ and it just doesn't seem like my kinda film..

It's currently up at SuprNova.org.

I don't actually own a so-called "television," so I watch all my shows using the Internet. The iSight produces images and video that flow just as smoothly as the liberated videos I download daily. And for less than $150, you simply cannot beat the price.

BitTorrent.

Windows Longhorn (beta) is brutal. We had a AMD 1400 with 512mb of RAM and it fucking CHUGGED. IE used over 100mb of RAM. Somthing aboutt he development librarys or somthing. It's a bloat piece right now and it's basicly Windows XP with some GUI enhancements. Nothing has been done to the core (that I noticed)

I also could not get the internet going. It refused to work and shows it on ... we could acess the drive and such but could not acess the internet.

It has ALONG way to go

Of course Suprnova.org should have a copy for you.

SuprNova, the best torrent web site ever, is going Japanese.

I swear, this has nothing to do with today's date. :-P

suprnova.org - Has decided to focus on the Japanese market

Suprnova got creative, they went Japanese...

. I think the vast majority of people who own 'modded' consoles have had them modded so they can hire a game from Blockbuster and pirate it.

That's INSANE!! Why pay $$ to rent a movie when you can just download it?
Of course, I often have to download my "backups" because my original is unplayable. Um, yeah, that's it.

...though since I almost never close Mozilla, it doesn't really matter. What I really like is having a group of tabs associated with the "Home" bookmark. At the moment, one click opens up: /., explodingdog, maddox, the LP's homepage, wikipedia, suprnova, where's george?, and google news. These are all the pages I view at least daily, so I like having them at my fingertips.

The eDonkey network is so much less useful without ShareReactor as a trusted source of hashes, so it's a Good Thing(TM) that SuprNova + BitTorrent is around to pick up the slack!

I posted this anonymously, but I know that a whole hell of a lot of people in the "underground p2p circle" share the exact same sentiment.

I recently built a network fileserver running Slackware 9.1 and samba, it has 4 x 250GB HDDs (1TB total) and I thought that would be enough for a very long time.

Then I discovered BitTorrent and SuprNova
