BNBT, as used on http://xiando.com:6969/, does not log anything if you leave these settings blank in bnbt.cfg:

BNBT is very fast and does not store any non-needed information about anything. It logs how many people have totally completed the file but does not waste the oh so valuable storage space available to store who happened to transfer what ages ago. This tracker is easy to install and uses virtually no resources.
Suprnova used a completely different tracker and perhaps it logged a lot of useless information. That would have been very stupid and unwise, specially because they had no control what so ever over the content available there (at least, that is the general attitude all the now closed sites hid behind).
Detailed logs over the tracker usage would not be need or required or desired so it sounds highly unlikely that any logs would contain anything useful to anyone or even exist. Detailed logs over tracker usage would generate a huge amount of data useful for no practical purpose what so ever, so it is highly unlikely such logs were ever created.
Logs over the website usage are useless for any legal purpose because whatever the hash of a torrent and it's purpose when used with a bittorrent client, it still remains a simple torrent file with some hash code in it - perfectly legal to download by anyone. This is probably just some big pr-stunt to try to make people think bittorrent is bad. BitTorrent it not bad, it is excellent and you should try it today.
It may be wrong to say Most people, given the choice, want to pay a reasonable price for a legit copy of something.. My understanding is that Most People want everything Free, but are willing to pay a reasonable price for a legit copy. This is why I agree with your arguments for what could be named the modern "Internet Home Video Distribution Protocol" (=bittorrent and such things).
But this has nothing to do with illegal movies. There may have been a few sites with illegal movies long ago but most such accusations against the innocent BitTorrent users are false claims and evil rumors spread by corporations who feel threatened by new technology and it is only a question of modern distribution vs traditional distribution. BitTorrent is not, and never way, in any way involved in MPAA or RIAA illegalities. http://hardcoretorrents.com/ and other BitTorrent sites are perfectly legal.
What do you mean "the movie industry has few methods other than movie sales to generate a profit"?
Why can they not make huge piles of money using BitTorrent when the adult entertainment industry embraces and utilizes the supreme BitTorrent technology in order to generate sustainable, legal returns?
Could it be that the movie industry simply have failed to accept the new technological area we are in, and therefore also fail to understand that it is oh so incredibly wise to give away some content in order to sell other content which is available for download and purchase on-line?
Could it be that hard media technology like the CD and DVD are already replaced by BitTorrent and other on-line solutions?
The main-stream movie industry could be making a lot of money using BitTorrent and other P2P technology. The adult industry understood this years ago. Just look at http://hardcoretorrents.com/ and http://xiando.com/torrents/ to understand that BitTorrent can, when used wisely, be extremely good for you, your health and your shareholders.
I agree that all kind of illegal action is very bad. But no illegal action is indicated by a person having visited or used a website, even if some parts of that site may or may not have had illegal content. BitTorrent is a perfectly legal protocol and it is also perfectly legal to use BitTorrent sites, and this is specially true now because all the bad illegal torrent sites which once existed are now closed and shut down even though most of them were only trackers and did not host any illegal content at all. It is legal and safe and good for you to use BitTorrent and torrent sites and it can entertain you and make your life better.
You are so right! "tell potential advertisers that those spammers know how to send spam" not only makes it simpler to get a job in related industries, but this is probably THE biggest client generator too. Hey, this guy managed to get is spam through my filter, heh, he must be good, eh? Why not hire him to send our company message to the millions, eh? aiiya, he probably makes this spam-advertised product sell, why not ours, eh?
Make them run using Postfix?

We are also using SpamAssassinn / razor / clamav using amavisd-new. The main mail account used for everything from clients webmaster@ mail to contact@ are getting numerous spam daily, yet only three or perhaps four a month get delivered... and those are added to our body_checks.txt which is publicly
available for download by anyone, including spammers who I have a feeling makes spammers think twice and clean us off their list when they find themselves listed there using search engines etc.
I agree this looks like it is totally about making headlines and fame for some lame politican rather than something worth spending time on. The librarian, or more correctly director, should not be held responsible for people misusing the hardware available in the library. Now, if I go into a library and pick out a book on terrorism, take notes and write a detailed instruction manual on how to take out some majorly important US structure and then ask someone to act on it, is the library responsible in any way for that act of terrorism? I kind of view "bad" use of the books in the library equal as "bad" use of computers when it comes to holding the owner/person working there responsible.
You seem to be ignorant of undercover marketing. It is product placement just like product placement in movies, except that we do it to you in real life. We will take your most popular friends and make them do something on behalf of our advertisers. They can show you their new shirt and tell you how happy they are with it or they can simply invite you to a great party and tell you all about how cool it will be and make you come along without you ever getting even a hint that they are, in fact, part of assembling the crowd for the party and are secretly paid a small fee for ever person they bring. Undercover marketing is direct and extremely personal and to think you have the power to ignore 99% of all advertisement messages when you are in fact probably influenced by at least ten undercover messages daily seems kind of ignorant.
Advertisements were getting too personal already in the early 90s. Our beloved fax machine has been getting personalized messages like 'Dear Fax Newsdesk! We are happy to offer you, mr. Newsdesk, a...' for a very long time.
My hippie life-style is irrelevant. And no involvement with "Boulder" is indicated, I have never heard of it. Our societies failure to value freely shared knowledge because it is structured, by law, in a way which puts profit over good is also irrelevant for my point: Humanity does best better itself as a whole by freely sharing knowledge so as many as possible can access it and grow from it.
Taking on the "Library of Alexandria" is impressive and very bold indeed. I would be happy to give a few of my fingers just to spend a week in the library of Alexandria at the height of it's peek! A huge amount of excellent books were lost when it fell. And THAT is something worth noting: Even though it was huge and glorious and supported by the most powerfull, it fell to the ground and knowledge was lost. Allowing search indexes to cache books is yet another great way of ensuring they will never be lost. And saving knowledge for future generations is generally a very good idea.
The ideal library, obviously, would be every book ever written neatly indexed and available on-line at Wiki-type sites or dedicated sites, searchable by Google. Knowledge should belong to humanity, it should be among the commons like clean air. Authors obviously tremble with fear of the idea of any and every book being available to anyone for free, for it could potentially cut the revenue they are currently earning on humanity's mass-murder of trees. This destruction must and should stop, moving literature on-line is only a natural step toward a sustain able development.
I will never talk to you again if you break your word, steel from me, publicly insult me or prove to be disloyal. It is never a good idea to insult someone if you want to talk to them, which Cnet now learned...
BitTorrent does have ONE very big drawback compared to other distribution methods like ftp: Your customer must download and install a BitTorrent program if he/she has not done so already, and some users will reject the idea of installing something new "just to download this and that". But this will become less of a problem as BitTorrent becomes more widely accepted and is installed on a broader user-base (Web browsers were optional software not long ago..)
You say some servers do give you 500 or 700 KB/s ftp, but you do not get that on BitTorrent. I have a theory why. Just think about ot:
What difference does it make, to you, if I am sending you that file at 700 KB/s using BitTorrent superseeds or the old ftp file transfer protocol at 700KB/s? You are getting the file equally fast!
BitTorrent can be very fast, and it usually is, I assume your impression BitTorrent is slow is because you have used those "pirate" sites who do not have the right to distribute the content they are giving away at the expence of the copyright holders - they generally hide behind loose law for the trackers, but seeding is different. Pirate sites can not do that, but legal sites, like all the xiando adult torrent sites, CAN super-seed.
BitTorrent is old in technology terms, it is 5 years or so old, but the legal use of it is just getting started. The legal industry has catched on. The mainstream TV and video industries have not, it is impossible to get them to even negotiate when you flag that you intend to distribute the files on your BitTorrent sites. Now the gaming industry is catching on, which means Hollywood is also likely to do so within a few years (be realistic, you can not expect much from a industry which still has the illusion DVD has a long-term future).
It is very simple. Bandwidth must be paid for. You can download a handfull adult movies using BitTorrent from http://hardcoretorrents.com/ or you can click the sponsors and pay $5 to download a huge variety of videos at full bandwidth. What you need to realize is that the adult content at that site, just like the games, must be produced and hence they must be payd for. You may hate that you must wait in line for 2 hours, sure, but think of this: You would not be able to download for free at all if it were not for the fact that some choose to pay and not wait.. no profit, no downloading.
You are required to understand a gibberish language called Norwegian to understand these links. If you do, however, you will find absolute proof that it is in fact not legal to allow
anyone to use a cell-phone network without having a record of their real name and address in Norway.
Your information is correct. This is not the US. And it is not legal to sell cell-phones without regsteringing who buys them in this country. But apart from that, it's just like any other "free" EU country.
The War On Drugs is just a marketing term. It is really A War On The People. It can not be won and it is not even meant to be won, the war is meant to be continues in order to ensure that the very structure of society remain intact. Light drugs are not illegal because they are in any way dangerous, they are illegal because it makes huge portions of the population criminals, thereby giving the automatizes greater control over them. The people demand supply and supply, or the people, is who the war is really waged against.
The fact that marijuana is completely harmless and far less dangerous than alcohol is totally irrelevant for Orkuts involvement in the distribution of illegal substances. Orkut, and any other public service for that matter, can not condone or assist in the breaking of any (local) law regardless of their personal view on the matter. Orkuts view on the legal status of cannabis, if they for some strange reason have one, is irrelevant for their obligation to assist authorities in striking down on criminal activity with bolts of lightning and furious anger.
What you need to know about using a Mobile Telephone in most parts of the world: They use something called GSM technology. Every GSM phone has a unique number. And every GSM customer in (almost all parts of the world) are required to be registered with the provider. It is illegal to provide anonymous cellphone subscriptions in this country and most others. Furthermore, cell phone providers must comply when police and other authorities require a real-time tap of your calls, a printout of all your text-messages and most importantly a mapped feed on your location at all times based on your phones distance from the GSM masts all over. This is how these cell phone companies are liable for criminal activity: They MUST assist fully to uncover and prove crime when asked to do so. They ARE HELD LIABLE if they are asked to comply in any criminal investigation and fail to comply.
What should be the limit of criminal liabilit is obvious: If you are aware something criminal is going on, then you should be held liable. If you know nothing then obviously you are not liable.
This is the simple bulletin board v.s. the street corner cafe thing. The cafe owner is not responsible if a drug dealer stops by while in possession of drugs, but if the cafe owner knows someone is dealing drugs at his cafe and approves of it, then that is something completely different.
Your resistance against clean air, fresh drinking-water, biological diversity and richness on earth is noted. You are extremely evil and I would like to take this opportunity to point out to you that todays capitalistic system is fundamentally wrong and totally futile because it neglects to hold legal persons (corporations, industry and normal persons) accountable for the damage they do to the earth and biological diversity in the making of their products. Until laws are passed who tax or forbid plundering of the earth the only method of contributing to a sustainable development remains being the cash vote. The cash vote is your right to vote for one corporation over another corporation because of how you feel, environmental concerns and other reasons. While I am at it, you can also vote for a sustainable development without spending money by recycling.
..and rude of them. That being said, it is very good to read that they will not allow anything that would make domain names suddenly not work - that at least is a very good thing.
"RIP fair use."? You are so wrong. The BitTorrent P2P technology is very good for you and your health. It makes it possible for you to enjoy hardcoretorrents.com and other sites like it. Hard Core Torrents is extremely fair to use, just go there, get the torrent and volla! You have a not-safe-for-work video you can enjoy when you are not-at-work. Nothing is more fair than that. Nothing. Fair use is NOT DEAD and will not die because laws are passed in order to shut down criminal terrorist-founding activities. P2P and (hardcore) torrents in particular are good for you, violating copyright was not good for you even when there were not as strong laws against it as it is now.
