Mininova Starts Filtering Torrents

Posted by timothy on from the afterthought-beforetrial dept.

Dreen writes with this snippet from TorrentFreak: "Just a few days before their court appearance, Mininova, the largest BitTorrent site on the Internet, has started to filter content. The site is using a third-party content recognition system that will detect and remove torrent files that link to copyright-infringing files."

  1. Emule And Bit Torrent by Sam36 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Follows, I have been using emule for many years now but I have noticed that more and more I am having to use bit torrent to get the stuff that I am looking for. How ever, bit torrent really seems to suck. So many torrents loose all of their seeds and then can never be downloaded. It is very hard to share files on bit torrent since you have to collect the the files together, then make a torrent file and figure out what tracker to send it to. Why can't it just be like emule where you just dump everything into one folder (or heck just share C:\). And constantly I am seeing these trackers get shut down. Why does bit torrent seem to suck so much for me? Are there better tracker sites that I just don't know about?
