 |
|
| Anyone aware of a problem with the Pirate Bay torrent site? I try to search for 'recent torrents' but no links appear on screen. The same thing occurs if I look for a specific show - no links appear on screen. Anyone else come across this problem? |

The only thing I noticed a couple of times, was that the comments wouldn't load. Some torrents had 2 or three pages of comments, because the page numbers were at the bottom.
But, when I tried to click on a page number, it just reloaded the page i was on and still no comments were shown.
I wonder if you cleared your cookies, if it might help. |

| I have the same problem on alll the computers I use here in Korea. The site may be dealing with legal issues or Korea is putting a stop to so much illegal downloading. |

| btjunkie.org is the one I've been using lately and for a public tracker it's great. For other stuff of course I use private sites like torrentleech and torrentbytes. |

BTjunkie has soooo many dud movie torrents that have thousands of leechers. I never got a dud torrent from mininova, but you have to be really careful with btjunkie. I have had 700 mb files that are corrupted. And another one that cut out half way thru. And yes I have up to date codecs.  And yes I have up to date codecs. |

Problem solved if you take the 30 seconds to read the comments posted by leechers who will say whether or not the file is a fake or not. When I do that I've had no problems. I haven't even thought of using pirate bay in years, especially after their legal problems, don't need to invite even the possibility of the MPAA catching my butt too. |

How do you stop the MPAA from recording your IP address from torrents listed on BT Junkie? If your'e downloading, they can act as a another peer in the swarm, and they have been doing that for years.
Even your torrent client can't keep up with bad peer IPs fast enough to keep them out. |

This is true. Often I just look at how many seeds there are. The duds I've got have been near the top of the seeds list. You would think that would be a good indication? I've been using Demonoid lately in any case. |
