BT Sites Going Down Like Bowling Pins Or Cheap Hookers
One after another, whether due to the police politely knocking on their doors or voluntarily.

SuprNova has just announced that they will shut down permanently:
Quote:
The ongoing events are likely to change the p2p landscape in a major way. BitTorrent in its present form - relying on public link websites and centralized trackers - has been vulnerable to attacks all along. Considering its huge popularity there will be a great demand for a safer decentralized network operating on the same efficient file distribution principles. We know that SuprNova guys themselves were working on a project called Exeem that was meant to decentralize at least some of their functionality. It remains to be seen if they will continue with the project... in any case it is certain that the resourceful p2p developer community will come up with new solutions for the distribution of large files. Yet another case of forced technological evolution. - tg |

wb...tg
[2c] if i am not mistaken many of the ed2k hashlink sites are getting taken down also tho i am looking forward to trying a new safer BT client i think emule or some hybrid in the future can be more effective in decentralising the verified hashlinks could it be possible maybe the huge verified hashlink community could move from the forum envionment to publish the links to publishing them to xml/rss and having them read in the actual program itself (users would have to find and enter the right ip recieve the file-like say a server list) not that this wouldn't still be attcked by the pigs.. but i think you could make it alot harder with something like this [/2c] |

ok i am not a BT user..of any great magnitude
just some crazy idea i have been having for about 6 months.. mainly focused at ed2k and similar apps probably because i loved having the shareactor/shareconnector feeds available if they could go more underground and have these feeds available from different ip's on the network itself the client would just need a simple browser interface somewhere and some added php ability to parse the xml there could spawn a new type of p2p publishing medium ppl would bookmark maybe a p2pnews feeds as well.. i am pretty sure someone will come up with something like this one day.. there is a torrent RSS project of some sort but i am not quite sure about it.. |

yep. since the bt community is not cleaned automatically but rather inspected and cultivated by hand by a group of mods (and an amazingly small group of them at that), any scheme hoping to keep the torrent community pollution free would need to come up with some potocol allowing trusted gatekeeping that at the same time is robust enough to thwart attacks. personally if i was a seeding participant i'd migrate my tracker site to WASTE right now or even Freenet until something better develops. - js. |

waste would be perfect for the organising and getting the releases varified ..ect
(most likely they will..some diehard irc ones will stick to that of course) i was wondering.. maybe something like ants or mute to distribute the links to the users..? gnutella? or an app just for getting the links? like a specialised newsreader.. a plugin for firefox? |

If the screener/publisher team would desire further anonymity they could use e.g. MUTE for the initial torrent distribution. After being pushed through MUTE the torrents could be safely (from the point of view of the screening team) distributed on any puclic channels and networks. While the security issues for possible screener/publisher teams are quite solvable with arrangements like above, decentralizing the tracker functionality and protecting the anonymity of the original seeds are challenges on their own. - tg |

Also up the world's biggest tracker:
http://thepiratebay.org/frame.html The site is Swedish but some of the announcements are in English, and overall it is easy enough to use for an international user. No registration needed unless you want to search for pr0n. - tg |
