BitComet Banned From Private Trackers
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."
My mother has been dead for decades. She has no need for tampons. Thus your point is moot.
Cyric Zndovzny at your service.
You're an idiot. I've been invited to a few of these ratio-based tracker sites... they're all about trading 0day movies and warez. Nothing legal at all going on. The GP is exactly right -- this is exactly like the pot calling the kettle black.
Personally, I think it's hilarious. "You're only allowed to steal this content if you're a member, dammit!"
(Cue debate on sharing vs. stealing, etc. I know it's not really stealing, blah blah blah. I do it myself, so don't accuse me of being anti-P2P. However, I'm not going to be naive and say that 100% (or even 10%) of P2P is legit. That's just not the case... not in this Universe, anyway.)
My other car is first.
