All talks related to torrents are a taboo here

Why the F are torrents taboo ? They are AWESOME. Much higher speeds than normal downloads. I tried to find a decent mirror for KNOPPIX 6.0 CD and failed. The BT on the other hand, its ULTRA FAST.


ONTOPIC: if you are ready to spend Rs. 5000 PM, get a 2mbps UL connection, plus buy an initial investment atom based headless client for Rs. 5000, then spend Rs. 2000 PM for electricity. Perfect for seedboxing. ;-)

Imageshack is a torrent downloading service. a person needs to create an account & upload a torrent file which he needs to download. imageshack will download the torrent ,mostly movies onto its servers and provide the account holder with a direct link. speeds are upto 235kbps.

MetalHeadGautham, you are an old member of thinkdigit, you should be knowing the reasons...
We all know the reasons for which torrents are usually used... more than 90% of the times, it is used for piracy, and piracy is a complete no-no here...
Instead of controlling what content about torrents is posted here, talkin about torrents has been completely banned...
 

confused!!

Not exactly. Theirs is a download-only and no-upload service.

And they have filters to block out illegal torrents.

But remember, you will always find LEGAL stuff to be more seeded than illegal stuff because in the case of LEGAL stuff, the publisher himself encourages usage of torrents and his own server helps seed them thus maximising bandwidth.

There was a BIG debate about that an year ago. I still remember it well.

Several great things came out. If a torrent's nature was mentioned, it was considered OK. And fishier stuff is always a strict NO. For example, if somebody starts a thread asking for some DVD-rippers private tracker and tells that he wants to download some free movie, he will be said STFU and the thread will be closed.

Whats normally illegal:

1. Talks of private trackers
2. Leaching and cheating torrents
3. Illegal torrents
4. Downloading copyrighted stuff
5. ASKING for private tracker accounts

Whats normally legal:

1: Free stuff and torrents
2. Setting up bit torrent clients

;) I doubt this thread is illegal unless the OP drops us a small hint of the type of stuff he is downloading.

@ manoj_mafiosi - First of all you posted your question in wrong section. You should have asked in QNA section. Next time bear that in mind.
