Goodnight, Sweet Prince (mininova)

Comus · 11-27-2009, 01:33 AM

After many years of steadfast, trusty service, mininova has decided to limit itself to Content distribution torrents. BAWWW this is a sad day for the intarwebz. So any other good torrent sites considering demonoid is still down, and tpb was put down?

I just read the same thing on someone's Facebook status update, they phrased it exactly how you did - "a sad day for the intarwebz."

Anyway, I use What.Cd (https://ssl.what.cd/). It's the best for everything I could possibly need in torrents. I think you may possibly need an invite though and I don't have any left

On what.cd don't you HAVE to upload torrents regularly? Isn't that a pain in the ass?

Yes and afaik that's how it is on all invite-only torrent sites. You take some, you give some. If the internet was full of nothing but takers, there would be nothing to take.

That said, that's why it's my last resort.

I share the account with my brother who lives with me at the moment and he just puts everything we download into the uploading folder so we're both uploading and downloading at the same time and everyone's happy. The only thing is that our torrents don't download straight away, Australia has **** internet so they are queued to download in the middle of the night which is "off-peak" internet usage and we don't get capped. Which is a bit of the pain in the ass.

And yeah, I'm really sorry I don't have any invites or anything, they must've been used up because I can't find an option to invite people anywhere, so yeah sorry

But like other people have said, searching for albums as zip or rar files on mediafire and other sites like that is just as easy and effective. I actually use that method quite a bit when I want an album to download straight away.

I don't have invites ;_;

tpb still works for me <.<

Mininova has limited its torrents to "content distribution" (only torrents which the owners upload themselves). Demonoid is down, thepiratebay is hanging on by a thread and now this...sad news...

Why not use music blogs? The downloading process is much quicker... It's only a matter of time before they shine the spotlight on this sharing platform but for now I think the labels just see it as free publicity...

or you could access the 'deep web'...

adidasss · 11-27-2009, 06:52 AM

We talked about that in another thread. I usually go to mininova if I can't find a particular album or if I want to download entire discographies, which certainly isn't quicker via the blogs. Also, I download a whole lot more than just music, like books and films and comics and such...:/
