Torrenting - Is the end getting closer ?

Using them seems to me beyond the regular filesharing experience, I couldn't even get them up and running. Maybe I'm stupid :pinch:

Getting PerfectDark to work used to be a pain in the ass. Especially if you wanted English menus. The newest version supports English natively though. So it's as simple as: Extract -> make settings in the wizard -> add some nodes and you're done ;D
I very much like the idea of anonymous file sharing. Pure leeching is impossible as you have to host at least 40GB in a unity folder and have a minimum upload speed set to 100KB/s.

Pay 11$ and get everything you want or pay 40$ for a decent seedbox for a month and keep all the private trackers alive which you use less than 10% of the actual buffer you make.
Also the old torrents which are dead.Newsgroups or Rapidshare has no such problem.
Have you ever bought a seedbox to buffer you accounts? Have you ever Donated to a site to immune yourself from inactivity,or for getting invites or for getting buffers?Then you are paying to leech.

I've personally never paid for a seedbox, or donated to a tracker. Newsgroups also have retention, meaning after a period of time, guess what, no file, so the problem does exist on newsgroups. I dont even want to get into rapidshare and their limits. Torrents exist as long as there are seeders, and there are plenty of files over a year old at most my trackers, many still well seeded.
 
Im sorry, but i can not For the life of me figure out how this forum is a dead on representation of BT as a whole?...

And the reference to BT being full of shit??
Where do you guys get this??
I dont get this AT ALL, my experience in BT.
Ofc if have came ocross my share of scammers/cheaters etc...
But thats only natural in any group of anything there will be a bad apple...

If its so full of shit why are you even posting a BT thread??

Orly? I see it getting stronger all the time, anything thrown at BT, BT surpasses, for example two prominent trackers died around the same time, and what happened??

Trackers around the net welcomed them with open arms...
 
In my opinion its the likes of new groups and rapidshare that are not just killing BT in general but the whole pirate commuinty. Why the anti-pirates groups aint going after these sites is beyond me. These are the true pay to leech sites, not BT trackers. I havent been to any BT site that has forced me to pay for something, yeah sure you get some that send you a PM about a donation every 5 mins but you dont have to donate. True I do donate to some sites, not just money but time and also my high bandwidth to help keeps torrents running at full speed.
Long live the private trackers I say. There are some great sites out there with great communities, hell there is some sites I have never even downloaded from but still go there just for the great fun that goes on.

Nothing is unbeatable...

I have read the 100kB/s minimum makes sense in Japan, which is where Perfect Dark comes from, since they have high-speed connections there.

Last year we suddenly all received the news of large sites and important source of our information suddenly closed. Over the years, the fight against sharing/BT in world got stronger and more aggressive, so what does that mean? Are we approaching the end of an era Torrents? What do you think?

Yep ... everything including BT will end December 21st, 2012 :ghey:
 
I can't see newsgroups taking over as the next platform for downloads. I probably represent the average user out there. I do not know everything, but know enough to get by and download what I need. I believe this is why Napster did so well back in my days and is why Torrents do well as well. Ease of use.

I do not see torrenting ending so soon.
