I recently went onto TorrentSpy.com and had a look around and it seems there is a lot less file sharing going on since BT advertise that "The Big Companies" were going to sue it ass!!
Such a shame!

You obviously haven't visited http://www.mininova.org
Not that I know anything about it of course... my mate, you know, told me about it.

good riddance. i never liked bitorrent.

How can you not like BitTorrent - it's genius!
But yeah....I wouldn't know, a mate told me about it!!

it's a good idea poorly executed. the average person cant catch on and hence it dies like the dodo.
- mrdobolina0
it works fine.
- rusty_shackle0
it works fine but again the average person doesnt get it. it will never catch on. not until someone remarkets it the right way.
- Nairn0
that's fine by me. the average person has fucking terrible taste.
- rusty_shackle0
yeah, but who pays the bills at the end of the day. limited thinking like that leads to smallsville and i would rather be in the big time. savvy?

I agree Nairn, I find all sorts of great things on BT.
- rusty_shackle0
again, i think it works fine but not a lot of people get it. its like linux. its great but also sucks.

empornium still works

by which i mean taking both positions at once.
- mrdobolina0
fence-sitters? I have 2 people on ignore and I am guessing who this is.
- rusty_shackle0
not taking both sides. have said i think it works but its dying and will die. its not commercially viable. and i say good riddance. the few times i have used it i was dissapointed. there are faster and easier ways to do thing.
*climbs off soap box and shoots Greedo first!

I use http://scrapetorrent.com now to search multiple torrent sites at once.
The good, public ones are:
http://mininova.org
http://isohunt.com
http://torrentspy.com
http://eztvefnet.org/
http://newtorrents.info/Many of them have been threatened lately.

i dont use torrents anymore. they suck. too much effort for very little gain. it reminds me of goth kids in high school. so boring.

"have said i think it works but its dying and will die. its not commercially viable."
you are aware that it's the default method of downloading game updates for world of warcraft? (8+ million users)
Just because it isn't friendly to the internet-illiterate doesn't mean it isn't commercially viable.
