Kid friendly Torrentsite

Maybe read the posts in this thread. She already found out about "Copyright infringement" as you so elegantly put it. I don't want her to get her computer infected.. and staying clear of nasties on Gnutella is something that takes a bit more effort than a 10yo can handle.

At least Torrent sites encourage sharing, which is something a 10yo should learn.

I'm not trying to be an ass here, but this just sounds ridiculous to me. If you follow these lines of thinking, then your telling me that if she discovers crack cocaine or heroin, your going to try to find a safe way for her to do it? Or discovers armed robbery can make you a lot of money, your going to facilitate it?
We may call it file sharing, but it's still illegal in most country's, & you are helping her do it, no matter what you call it. I agree with a few others here...let her mother do it. What's going to happen & god forbid, you get busted by one of the aa's? Blame it on a 10 yr old? Once again, i'm not trying to be a jerk, but this just doesn't sound right to me.
 
The problem is that some asshole told her about Limewire. So reassess the situation.

If I can't give her other options, then she will completely fuck up the PC. And I would really prefer it not be Demonoid as she would be constantly downloading unusable games.... and wanting me to fix them :(

And no ScT is probably not a good bet.

quite frankly i wouldn't let a 10yo girl on any torrent site. i'd say teach the mother how to do it, give her a torrentleech invite and then let her do the downloading for the daughter.

Exactly my thought. Why would you encourage a 10yo to commit copyright infringement? Let her find out about p2p for herself when she's older and let the mother do the leeching in the meantime :P
 
It's not illegal here so those arguments don't apply. I have a hard time associating file sharing with crack cocaine and armed robbery, but maybe that's just me.

oh and :glag:
 
I didn't realise until I just checked but SuperTorrents does not allow any porn to be uploaded and there are no porn threads (that I can see) in their forums.

Blue_Skies - let me know if you want to take this further ;)

Yeah.. but trouble is that it has just kids stuff. Looking more for a general site that just has zero adult oriented themes.

Well all sites have an 'Adult' section in the forums, so you can't get away from that.

What I would recommend though is GFT, it has an option where you can disable pron-related torrents, and it looks very clean and professional.

Just don't be surprised if the next day she's asking you what jailbait means :lol:
 
hey m8:)....i do have an idea of a site named speed.cd...on the front page itself its says "its a family-safe torrent site"....as far as i know i guess i have seen somebody post that its has about 5k torrents(cant be sure though)....so u might try that site....gud thing is its open to sign up..often

and now too http://speed.cd/signup.php

hope this helps you to some extent :happy:

Funny thread.

I'm sure if a 10yo is allowed to freely download scene material without parental supervision, then what does porn even matter?

Just bookmark a filter on RevTT/TL/IPT/Demonoid with everything included except XXX, voila. Good to see the pirates are starting younger these days, though.

Could you expand on this? Are you saying that I should let a 10yo use trial and error when being introduced to the Internet. Should I just let her download Limewire or something like that and then have her spammed with porn ads when trying to find cute pictures of animals etc.?

BTW I have successfully taught her to use Google image search.

Also there is ulterior motive behind introducing her to torrents instead. She will have trouble finding Danish subs for stuff if it's an English torrent site, which will force her to pay better attention in English class in school.

I won't teach her to use subscene.

no i see what u trying to say, but i just think its just a few years to early to start to introduce her to downloading stuff. And no im not saying let her download limewire im saying u should not let her download anything at all, the parent should do the downloading for her. Maybe im wrong but that just what i feel, and i have nothing against teaching her how to use computers and the internet, just think its a bit early for her to download thats all maybe wait a few more years.

Maybe i feel that way because i just get a bit paranoid about people who dont really no a lot about downloading, download stuff on my computer.

I dunno about that, I was using limewire or equivalent when I was 10. kids aren't as dumb as the people posting the nasty files, they learn quick that if the file has their exact search term and tiny size it's no good.
Granted I did see some stuff I shouldn't have, and it did have some negative effects on me, but for fucks sake, bad stuff is everywhere.

Case in point, when I was 8 or 9 somebody at the library filed some adult books in the kids section:o
I was very shocked by the sex and violence in them, but who expects the public library to have nasty things left in the kids section?
Also, many kids these days watch movies I would consider age inappropriate, I've worked with groups of 6-8 year old kids who are gleefully discussing Kill Bill:pinch:
They certainly didn't get their parents permission to watch that kind of stuff.






FWIW I would also check out the Tao of Kids TV. It's all kid's tv shows, and easy to navigate:)

EDIT: and to all the people suggesting blocking her downloading, Kids just aren't that dumb.
they will try to find ways around it, and often succeed in ways you don't expect. they are often way more savvy then you'd expect, especially when it comes to things like the internets. You only have a limited time span to spend blocking them, they have all day to think up new ways around it. And they have friends and friends older siblings to help.

And also, unless I'm much mistaken, isn't filesharing where the OP lives not illegal?
 
lol exactly what we don't need.

Looks like I just found a new idea for a site. PM me once someone set it up :P

You can always set in the settings not to see the XXX category.

Unfortunately not as easy as that. First of all These sites always have XXX sections in the forum, and second there is no way to completely turn of XXX. These settings are just to not have them visible as default. A curious 10yo can always check a box and all of a sudden it's Porn all around.

I have even tried using element hider on them. The whole browse section disappears when doing that.

My advice would be to keep the 10 year old girl focused in doing homework and playing with dolls. I don't think learning how to steal data, is appropriate for her at this age.

i would have to kind of agree with this she should be concentrating on other things then being on bittorrent trackers. May be wait a few more years. I find it hard to believe that there are many 10 year olds downloading, meaning there is no real need for any trackers that are friendly towards kids at that age. Really think its the parents responibility to sort things at for kids when so young.
