New BT Tracker?
« on: September 08, 2009, 04:28:14 PM »
As many people know, since the fall of TPB, many people have critiqued that there is now a wide gap for tracking of bt files. Most will quickly say that mininova and isohunt are "somewhat" decent alternatives. However, isohunt has seemed to move in a very strange direction by creating something called hexagon.cc. (See front page of isohunt if you want to take a look).

Hexagon.cc seems to be quite different at first glance. Not only is it a private tracker created by isohunt, it has "sharing options" so you can share files either to a few small group of friends, or regular stuff like sharing to many many people. (Possible alternative to Megaupload?)

So what do you guys think about this new upcoming site?

It looks... interesting... but I have yet to try it out :\ not much time these days to be trying new trackers out, but SSL-encrypted group sharing sounds intriguing. I wonder how it's going to be implemented.

Just tested a TPB torrent, download of it worked fine. First scrape failed and dht kicked in, second scrape worked and returned an OK status in Vuze. Source of the fall of TPB please. :)

edit, test the site yourself as well. I don't think the buyout will go through after the site was brought down for a day a while ago.

*Scratches Head*

I'll have to find the threads from before, but people were talking about TPB as if it were falling. Sorry, I didn't look into it and just assumed it was true.

Both of the torrents that I've had from their recently aren't registering to the tracker. I keep coming back with no response. It is however downloading and seeding pretty well. But I don't understand all these things. *Shrugs*

Well, they got shut down in Sweden, I think, but it took them all of a day to find hosting in a different country. So basically, nothing changed. There are plenty of countries with lax copyright laws they can host in. Really, the MPAA and RIAA are wasting their money. It'll be decades before they run out of places to host, and by then they'll be out of business anyway. I don't think that TPB is going anywhere anytime soon.

TPB was actually down for a grand total of 3 hours. Great job there MAFFIA wasting all that money and months of your time complaining about yourselves not making enough money due to pirating so you could disrupt ONE of many trackers for less than a day.  ::)

edit: Hexagon.cc looks pretty interesting. Not only does it sound like it makes sharing files with friends easier but it also makes it harder for anti P2P groups to reliably track and respond to uploads.  ;D

Then shall we keep Tatsu out? His brain will asplodes.

The internet always harbors weird ass groups. It's the internet.

I honestly think there are much more important issues than pedos stalking the streets (or the intertubes). The issue is also simple to resolve. Support lolis!!  ;D

Your lolis belong to Tatsu.  :D

TBP still works for me. The fall of TBP will shoot 5 nice trackers out to carry on our pride of sharing! I don't use TBP as much, rarely, ever, ever ... Demonoid <3

Cause he's got the golden ticket, he's got a golden ticket.

Seriously though, do you think a group will emerge on this tracker to rival the other sites?
