BitHQ's Wall of Shame

1) Many cheaters turn off their upload entirely, some of their client mods have this functionality built in. Why bother seeding when you can just fudge the numbers? Not only does this decrease the number of actual seeds in the swarm, but can at times lead to more hashfails for the regular users depending on the sophistication of the cheating tool.

Not true.

Google his name and check out the 5th result if you're interested in finding out more. Be smart, though, you don't want it to look like you're snooping around for cheats.

Meaning you should shield yourself against the CSS leak or just use a PHP proxy to access the forum.

On a sidenote, the fourth result has nothing to do with me :D
 
bithq - 691 full bluray discs, 480(ish) if you dont count the ones that are dead.

hdbits - 2751 full bluray discs, 2335 if you dont go out of your way to be a dick and count the dead ones. take out the discs for tv series (something bithq doesnt index) and youre down to 2089.


lately the majority of blurays that show up on hdbits, where they are always half-leech, show up on bithq -- always freeleech. several quick test searches showed that for a given movie bithq usually had the better quality bluray available, while hdbits had multiple versions with inferior ones being kept alive as well. so if raw numbers are the only metric of quality, or the idea of freeleech bluray discs doesnt appeal to you, hdbits is probably better for bluray sources. but since i dont download a directors cut bluray, then the theatrical cut, then either the german version or an older/inferior transfer, bithq usually has what im looking for.

...so like i said, they should be just fine without you.

HDChina probably has even more.

enjoy all those rushed bd25 transfers. ill wait the week or so it takes for one thats 15gb larger to show up elsewhere.

And that constitutes my orderly exit out of BitHQ. If a site doesn't respect its members (even the rotten eggs) it deserves no respect/time given back. Most cheaters that should be treated like this are the ones that do it for the fun of the chase. However, most others have reasons. I respect What so much more with their explanation/hearing people out system rather than a place that aims to turn a person's life miserable for faking a couple of numbers.

But they wrote: "Only people from whom we are 100% sure they cheat, we will show these details." So, bithq staffers show the same respect to their members that what.cd staffers show to theirs. If it's proven that someone is a cheater, he/she will get banned from either tracker.
 
Going to bed in a minute but have to reply.

Why do you think tracker vannilla sources and even forums with mods on the for that tracker software, never have cheat scripts built in or on those forums.

A: because people like anon, can get the code, see how it works, and then write code to make it defunct before it even goes on 2 trackers.

Personally, that is the first time i have heard of that java tracker, lets see how it does when it is released but PHP and mysql and C are lightweight and can handle lots of peers and connections, java if azureus is anything to go by cant. and if it has cheat detections in from the get go, it wont be long before they are null and void.

Its just like gaming and the scene, game companies try all sorts to stop piracy, but the scene is 1 step ahead (well apart with the bloody PS3) but 99.9% of the time they are, a tracker will do somthing, the cheaters will negate it with something else.
 
I think I already see some Americans on that wall of shame. But one person on the wall has different ips that belong to different countries: the U.S. and Germany. Does it mean he uses the proxy of the country in which he doesn't live?
 
this "wall of shame" is a way to fairly deal with people who took it upon themselves to disrespect a site and its peers, as well as possibly the beginnings of a way for private trackers to publicly share email and ip blocklists with each other. the process of adding people to the list obviously wont be automated, so one can only assume that the root of peoples' concerns is that other sites will add the wall of shame ip/email info to their blacklists. and they should. disagreeing with an uninformed, selfishly motivated opinion doesnt make me a "troll" -- it makes you seem childish for using the "I'm rubber and you're glue" argument to justify why cheaters should be given second and third chances to poison bittorrent swarms.

but then again, i suppose i could end up coming back to this topic and apologizing to you if im ever make the "mistake" of burning through my 500 GB buffer on bithq. also i dont see how being "bum-raped" would affect me, since im not and have never been homeless ;)

for anyone still concerned about what bithq is doing, you may be interested to know that thepiratebay.org is a very large bittorrent site/tracker that never checks for cheaters... so all those "mistakes" you routinely make will go unnoticed. DON'T CHEAT.

Cheaters are so cheaters, they are guys who brakes the FileSharing idea.

The point here isn't that cheaters aren't cheaters, or that they shouldn't be banned (globally?). The issue is the public list of username/IPs/email.

...for the sake of being able to claim there will be a flood of innocent people accused of cheating that have their personal information exposed. In reality what will happen is that any account flagged as "cheating" will be carefully reviewed before any information is added to the wall of shame, and a fair number of legitimate cheaters will be blacklisted from several private sites.

You dont get it do you?Releasing personal info publically cheater or not is the problem here.And about that java thing,I wasnt saying it isnt being developed,I can only lmao when you say its a perfect cheat detecting system.In what ever ways one looks at it,what you guys are going to do is bullshit.How would you like if your IP,email address etc gets plastered all over the place?
 
Sounds great!

Of course I'm not a member of HDBits. I just made that up to sound cool, you know. You found that out pretty fast you smart boy.

Can I have an invite now?
 
Save your breath Aby. I already asked him that and he said he would never put himself in such a position. You might as well start calling him brickwall instead of echohead.
