Reply to: Kickass Torrents taken down

Not sure I want to say. Okay then, it's Bunheads.

That looks quite amusing

My friend, the one I mentioned, is trying to download it now. It shows 8 seeds and very good availability, currently pouring in at over 10Mbps, ETA 2 hours

They're on Youtube but in a stupid frame; could rip them with 4K Downloader and crop them?

I've watched a few on YouTube with the stupid frame, but it has the music cut out which is annoying. Most things seem to end up on YouTube but typically with stupid frames, slowed down or sped up audio, and a mirrored image. I guess all to defeat any automatic systems looking for piracy.

I have limited tolerance for these things. I'd honestly rather pay to watch. I have Netflix and Amazon and a NowTV account if there's anything on Sky (Game of Thrones once a year). Why isn't everything on or other of those?

Yes done that. Doesn't seem to help very much.

On the occasions I've tried to get something that's just been broadcast it takes no time at all. Bit harder for anything that's not been around for a while.

Interesting... so find a list of "known good trackers" and update the tracker list for the torrent. That often gets things moving again.

Out of interest, which TV series were you having trouble with?

I've been trying to torrent something recently ( a short lived US TV series that is impossible to get legitimately ). After leaving it going for a week I eventually got a few of the episodes, but some have stuck permanently at 0% and more annoyingly there's a couple that have partially downloaded. And this has largely been my experience of Torrents; ridiculously slow and painful.

Sometimes if there are very few seeds (1 or 2, or even 0) it can takes weeks, it's true. But someone I know who does this a lot told me that most of his torrents complete in under an hour or two, occasionally a day or two. He did have one recently that took several weeks (there was one seed who popped up every now and again) but even that one completed successfully.

The theory is if you use a VPN, and something like Peerblock you're safe.

No idea, but TorrentDay is working.

Try a seedbox, they are better connected and if you get one with a gigabyte connection some things download in like 2 secs literally. Obvs. you have to then download off the seedbox but at least you got it!

As I've said before, letter lands on my mat, I've been caught downloading p@rn. Pay up £400 or we'll take you to court etc. How many fellas would stump up to avoid the mrs finding out? Obviously, no worries in my case as the Mrs rejoices, in the fact, that she will be left alone.
