BitComet Banned From Private Trackers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the salt-for-my-leeches dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Slyck news is reporting that because BitComet does not recognize the 'private flag' on torrents originating from pirate BitTorrent trackers, this client is being banned from these communities. Private trackers are finding their torrents spread via the private DHT layer, allowing leechers to bypass ratios and download content freely."

    What does any of this mean to me? Anything at all?

    Let's go back to Journalism 101 and remember that every article should include the "why does it matter?" part.

      No. Apparently you mean "Why does this matter to Blakey Rat (99501". When did hjournalism 101 preach that only shit you care about is worth reporting?

      Actually it's a damn good clue that it's discussing things that don't matter to you. Things you have no knowlege of. This, however, in no way implies that it doesn't matter to anyone else. I doubt that good jounalisitic practices involve checking with you to see if the subject is important to you.

    So, pirating the content is okay but pirating the pirates is only something a dick / numbnuts would do? Your logic is dizzying.
