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."

    You can never stop someone technically knowledgeable enough to mod the code themselves... if they are determined enough to be a dick, that is. The thing is, most people don't know how to do it, and most of those who do don't want to be dicks. What you have left is a small numbers of sociopathic fucks who aren't worth worrying about.


    You want to be careful saying that sort of thing here.
