  1. Why can't it automatically remove? by Eunuch · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I see a link to report dead torrents. Why not automatically check for dead links occasionally?

    I suppose they can be given some leniency, but if it's down for a whole week, it shouldn't require human intervention to drop from the page.

    Only pirates trading in 'copyright infringing materials' use bittorrent.

    Thats what my friends at the *aa's told my child in school last week anyway... And something about a 'reward program' of some sort.

  3. Leeching from The Linux Mirror Project by phoebe · · Score: 5, Interesting
    None of the torrent files are actually hosted on linuxisotorrent.com, and more importantly most are from "The Linux Mirror Project" which performs exactly the same purpose - torrents for Linux distributions.

    A concern is that there is no credit to "The Linux Mirror Project" for any of their work in providing the torrents, its only a couple of static files on a webserver and a revenue stream from the google adverts on the side.

    What happens is people who waited three days for a Suse disc go hunt down the loser who kept them from getting the sweetest Linux distro around. Most of these folks are people who'd much play around on a new OS than watch Gigli.
