im not going to pick a fight with a JAT, or someone with more rank than me as it will be a losing battle. so normally i would let the go, but in principle, this is more important. Quote: Using torrent might assosiate to downloads of an illegal nature so might many things. like...use of the internet? just because something can be used for something, doesnt mean it will. if you look back at all the posts, you will notice that nothing of an illegal nature has been discussed. im fact, people have been very careful in avoiding anthing which could even be misconstrued as illegal. im done with this thread, SirBizNatch, if you still want some sites, catch me on MSN. _______________ Joined 16 October 2004 | Retired 10 April 2005 | Returned 05 June 2008 | Made Staff 27 June 2008 | Made Council 18 January 2009 Padawan To Odan-Wei Belouve | Adopted into the Belouve family | Twin to xAnAtOs | Owner of the 4th Quesi sexy badge  Brother To Roan Belouve, Nomad, Majno, Silkmonkey, Kensei and Jarhok Belouve

This isn't open to debate. You can argue that you own a car...But you don't drive it..You just use it to power your house. While it may be possible..It is not probible. By definition we stay clear from anything involving or surronding warez. I think you can survive another day without a thread about torrent. - HW _______________ ::Nothing wrong with a little shooting.....as long as the right people get shot:: |

Not to sound argumentative, but wouldn't that be essentially the same as saying that MP3s shouldn't be discussed, because they can lead to pirating music? I agree that the connotations of this thread are leaning towards out-of-bounds topics, but a torrent file in general really is just a means of distrobution for any type of media, whether it be linux installations or pirated software. Some is illegal, some isn't. _______________ ~Dav Proud Former Padawan of 3th This comment was edited by delta on Dec 03 2004 08:04am. |

Monteee, whatever the country, copyrights infringements are under international agreement. Then legal issues might differ from country to country but since the JA site is hosted in the USA, warez and such are not to be discussed. And I would be very surprised to see anything legal on torrentreactor and such... I've used bittorrent myself and it was not to get the latest game patch that a direct download will bring me in less than a minute... I mean, come on I have 6 Mbits connection why would I launch bittorrent to get a mere patch??? even with a bad server a patch isn't suppose to be more then 20-30 megs max. Also, when someone is asking others if they know "a good torrent site" I don't think it's for patches and demo versions. Lets not be hypocritical here and face that this very phrase implies downloading cracked softwares, illegal copies, etc. Otherwise it would probably have been specified like this "Do you know any good torrent sites to DL demos and patches?" Ok, no more of this.

I can see boths sides' point of view, but I don't want to get anyone into trouble, so if you have any info, just email me. I was going to try and talk to Monteh on MSN, but it either made me download three new versions, or one new version three times and then told me that it wasn't going to let me on and that I should go sit in the corner.

Quote: Almost all of the people I know of that pirate movies and games use BitTorrent extensively. About 98% of the content on TorrentReactor and Suprnova are torrents for something illegal. just because people you know are criminals doesnt preclude other from not being. what about the other 2%? assuming your figure of 98% is even correct. where is this from anyway? in addition he at no point asked for warez or anything illegal he asked Quote: I need some good BitTorrent sites _______________ Joined 16 October 2004 | Retired 10 April 2005 | Returned 05 June 2008 | Made Staff 27 June 2008 | Made Council 18 January 2009 Padawan To Odan-Wei Belouve | Adopted into the Belouve family | Twin to xAnAtOs | Owner of the 4th Quesi sexy badge Brother To Roan Belouve, Nomad, Majno, Silkmonkey, Kensei and Jarhok Belouve

Now hold on a minute, he didnt ask us where he can get a torrent for half life 2 or something, he might be after a torrent site for game patches, believe it or not game patches are distributed by torrents as a faster way than maxing out a server's bandwith, so i see no reason why we cant suggest some sites, both suprnova and torrentreactor have torrents for patches on their sites. _______________ If you add me to MSN, tell me who you are

Quote: Basically, it is werez. Bittorrent and related softwares are not warez. Downloading .torrent file is not yet illegal. But the files that the .torrent files allow you to get might be illegal stuff. Now, about torrent sites, I would classify those as warez since the only things you can get from the use of the .torrent files in there are related to illegal softwares/movies/games/etc. So, my best bet is not to speak of those sites at all on the forums. _______________ Padawan and brother to SmilyKrazy - Adopted in the Belouve Family by Fizz and Bubu, BELOUVE ON! - Vladarion, you'll always be in my heart and memories - Spam-Padawan of Jacen Aratan - [DJ is my beloved wife! - JA Family: Brothers:

BitTorrent is just another method of file distribution. Like Kazaa, eDonkey and eMule. It can be used for doing illegal stuff, but so can most things if misused. Don't misuse it Its a great method to distribute files efficiently, if it isnt shut doen due to abuse. _______________ Joined 16 October 2004 | Retired 10 April 2005 | Returned 05 June 2008 | Made Staff 27 June 2008 | Made Council 18 January 2009 Padawan To Odan-Wei Belouve | Adopted into the Belouve family | Twin to xAnAtOs | Owner of the 4th Quesi sexy badge Brother To Roan Belouve, Nomad, Majno, Silkmonkey, Kensei and Jarhok Belouve
