The Moscow City Court has this morning ordered that huge Russian torrent site RuTracker should be blocked by ISPs forever. However, in anticipation of the move the site has now opened its doors to the public meaning that anyone can download without needing an account. A localized problem for copyright holders just got a lot bigger.

I miss Demonoid...

 

I knew there were problems when I saw that small windows in the home page but couldn't get much the message.
This sucks, it's the best torrent site ever in my opinion. Hope they will figure out something.

 

demonoid is active....

 

Trackers are exposed since day one, because they keep torrents IDs on their own servers.
Centralized P2P is always a problem.
May be it is time to go "Emule way" again ;)
Trackers and Emule servers keep a kind of "cultural memory".
Instant file host sharing is less elegant to me.

 

Yeah and then you have greedy sites like Audionews.org who make you seed 150 GB in only 2 days or pay 15 euros just to use their greedy crap. Why pay them money for something that is illegal either way? It's not like forcing a donation to further sustain your status as "a member" makes it more or less illegal. If it did then I would understand.
I signed up for them back in February. They gave me until the 6th of February to seed about 150 GB or something. There was no way I could have done that so I bailed out. Now if you want to sign up for another account, guess what? It recognizes you by your IP address, so no luck! For me, I love Rutracker. It sure is a nice place to grab "Big Zee" releases that are much too large in file size. That's where I went to get Omnisphere 2 and Sonic Couture's "The Hammersmith Pro Edition" because Crapidgator and Suckloaded.net would have been a drag for me. LOL.

 

I waited months to join audionews and was "banned" in a couple days because I couldn't upload fast enough and didn't even finish the download to seed it. Thanks audionews!

 

There are many tools to change or hide your IP as you might know. Even if audionews is checking your router's IP, you can always go nuclear, reset everything in your router assuming of course that you have a way to redefine everything from the Web interface (in other words, that you have some kind of backup such as the credentials provided by your isp) .
It's a bit extreme but I did it once with another site.

EDIT: I just tried to do what I said but it appears that they are requesting an Invite code for new membership (no matter what your IP is) so it's a no go I guess...

Im a heavy user for all programing related material tuts...their database is huge.

 

That's probably because you downloaded a really BIG torrent. Should have started small, a few GB. Also, you could have contacted the admins and they usually resolve such issues by adding ratio to redeem yourself.

 

As I remember rutracker.org was torrents.ru.
When torrents.ru had some problems like that, they closed this site. But all the content has been moved to a new mirror - rutracker.org
I think/hope they will do it again...

All the music production stuff you see there is taken from audioz (more than 95%, if not 99.99+%)

 

i knew something was wrong, i tried to download a huge library the other day and it didn't even download the magnet link, thought they were doing mainteneance or something, is there a way to download the torrents or no?

no you cannot. the amount of time it will take to go to the site and try a second time would be too much waste. you can wait for someone's approval and it might be quicker though. good luck!

 

wow what a douche, there's no way one can download the magnet links, i just wanted to know if it's happening to everyone or it's an ISP issue on my end since i already tried using proxys but no luck.

 

yes it seems like a move the "authorities" (bullies) didn't expect..they like to hide in the shadows so putting the light on things may well make them scarper.
i could be wrong and i don't know the ins and outs, but i get the sense this could be driven from outside (or above) Russia in another move to demonise and destabilise them..part of the bigger puzzle involving trying to get back at Russia for helping out Syria, and rendering the West's (UN/us/britain/Israel/NATO) plans to use ISIS to demonise and take over Syria, looking stupid and useless.
the airbus crash stinks to me as an attempted frame-up too..i'm not a fan of putin as i reckon he's somehow part of the game at a higher level too, but when one country somehow becomes the cradle of all the world's ills, i'm highly suspcious.
it could be that the instigators of this realworld game of Risk don't give a shit about how a country's perceived or what devastation happens on the ground to the communities who happen to LIVE in that branch of their chain of countires, as long as they can put in place their moves to being about a one world government, one world army etc..
..so thats what i reckon of torrents.

I think the message was essentially about the site being pushed to be for Russian users only, i.e. blocked for ISPs outside Russia. Easy enough to get around with a VPN though.
