 Works for me!

Lateley I've had trouble with a "tv" site for some files, just didn't seem to be online, but for the most part it works great. I like it more than any other p2p app. Since its not really an app.

Its hard to find anything but the most current things though, no one will leave their windows open forever. Catch 'em while you can.

thanks for "shining" the spotlight. a few of my favorite BT sites went down since then, in fact one has been under constant DoS attacks the past few weeks so they're provider pulled the plug on them. wouldn't surprise me if RIAA/MPAA was behind it all.

some of the sites that were shut down completely were not completely legit, but several were including the one that is now fighting those DoS attacks and searching for a new provider

RIAA/MPAA won't stop until they ban P2P, BT, MIRC, FTP, HTTP.

From an article at cnn.com - - New file-sharing sites hide users' Ids - - Take a look at Filetopia, which claims “file sharing tool with public key encryption,” using a choice of strong ciphers and public key techniques for all communications and sophisticated techniques to protect your IP and thus make you truly anonymous and safe from attacks. From the article it appears that Blubster will soon be thinking along the same lines.

A theory has only the alternative of being right or wrong. A model has a third possibility: it may be right, but irrelevant.

Hmmm...From that article:
quote:
The Recording Industry Association of America, which represents the major recording companies, said it would file several hundred lawsuits against individuals within eight to 10 weeks seeking financial damages of up to $150,000 per copyright song.
$150,000 per song?! You've got to be kidding me. And I thought making a college kid pay $15 grand for operating a "file sharing network" was bad...
