Re: The End of Torrents?
Its like going to any retail store and finding fakes. You did not go there to get fakes. We can and WILL complain. |

There are a few other public torrent sites infamous for
fakes, such as Sumotorrent and Seedpeer. I've seen quite
a few that looked fishy on TorrentReactor, and none of
those seemed to have any comments. And on BTJunkie, you'll
find plenty of fakes, especially with newer movies. But
those get outed as fakes pretty quickly by the site's
regular users. Really, do you expect a torrent with 800+
seeds and 4000+ peers to be genuine? Most of those on BT
Junkie like that aren't.

I've ran into 2 the last 4 years I've been screwing with torrents I don't know what kind of shit sites you've been visiting but there really aren't that many fakes rolling around as you may think.
Thepiratebay is one of the worst for fakes..don't even bother. |

First you'll need a newsgroups provider if your isp does not come with one. This thread will help.
»[Newsgroups] Need suggestions for good $15 a month?
OK now you'll need a program to use them grabit is but ok but download newsLeecher. OK now you got to get a site that lets you search for stuff. I use »www.newzleech.com/
Now just search for your anime and you see it download the NZB it's like a BT link file. Your file will download and you just unzip it and away you go. Also you will want a par fixer I use quickpar. Most of your downloads will have bad parts and the par files fix them up. |

HARDLY epidemic...you sound like bush and his pleas to go to war with Iraq...
Lots of boards got threads like this, and almost all of em get started by noob .tor dl'ers...
Read the fuckin' comments; if they don't post comments there at whatever site your at, then hop on over to the dozens and dozens of sites that do allow comments, look for your .tor link, and see if they like it, legit, w.e.
Then go back to your homesite and DL...but of course, in doing this, you'll more then likely be a new member of the comments allows board...lol.
Epidemic is Lime/Frostwire showing you 20 results to files of 1kb to 200kb when all you searched for was a 3 and a half minute track by "Nas- If I ruled the World". |

This is nothing new.
Don't just haphazardly download bullshit, do some investigating if this is a big issue for you.
Of the last 100 torrents I've pulled from public tracker sites, maybe 2 of them were bullshit. Everything else was gravy.

Yeah I'm a dub watcher so I want the whole dvd for that. Most times rips from the DVD are only the Japanese track on sites. Also got to love the untouched video and you just burn it and pop it into the dvd player.
You also just don't find much anime on BT sites. |

Emule has been plagued by the same problem as long as I can remember and is still alive and kicking. Like someone has already mentioned: use a private tracker and read forum comments. |

They are easy to recognize, I always look at the files before downloading, most of the time, I can recognize this kind of bs. But you're right, it's full of it now. |

As soon as I get a newzbin account again I'll be doing the same. Right now I'm downloading only video files, but images would be so much better . |

If only ISOHunt had comments - then I wouldn't have tried
to download what I thought was an anime OVA (Original Video
Animation), but turned out to be cheap a** pr0n like the kind
you get when you decode a Domplayer or 3WPlayer fake. In fact,
it likely was a 3W fake that someone decoded and re-seeded in
order to scam people into downloading it.
Oh well, I wasted 600 MB worth, and killed my ratio on it (it
was a public tracker, IIRC, and that was the only file I got
from it).
I generally only download anime from BitTorrent, and check
comments when I can, and have never encountered a fake file
until now.
