Mininova is no more

[mr.sumo.snr]

mininova.org has ridden off into the sunset like its predecessor "supernova" - 'tis a sad day.

Life as we know it will continue but I'm temporarily stuck for a suitable replacement. It's been my 'go to' site since January 2005 so I would welcome suggestions - preferably somewhere that organizes torrents in the same way - the mininova top page was my favorite feature.

Pirate Bay is better. There are usually far more seeders there as well.

They have lists of top 100 torrents and torrents added on the day.

a TV show peer-to-peer file sharing network

Damn that sucks. I always went to Mininova to download my viewing for the evening. Back to Isohunt I guess.

That's a nice effort. I'm definitely a 'TV above anything else' torrenter. It's a tidy site and tells me what I want.

Does anyone know of a North American content site that operates along the same guidelines as UKnova?

SuperNova was my go to website back in the day. Then it was Demonoid and TPB with some mininova mixed in. Now all we have left is TPB, which is on thin ice as it is.

Btjunkie is as good as pirate bay, but their website kinda sucks. I use them most. IsoHunt is also pretty good.

A shame about Mininova. I used to like their homepage with 10 or so recommenced torrents in all catagories updated daily.

Keep up the seeding!

Btjunkie is right on the money for a lot of things. Lots of obscure albums and movies available, in addition to top software.

Pirate Bay's search function is completely toss, it just searches every word individually, so you wind up with ____ results all the time.

I use

It isn't torrents but it is several times quicker and faster, no messing about with P2P either.

[haildamage]

torrentscan.com allows you to easily search many of the torrent sites on the same site.

LOL

Are people still using torrents nowadays?

I use usenet to download all my things. No uploading. Just pure downloading.

Max download speed. I can get any dvd on the market for less than 15 mins. That is speed. In America, my max download speed is 3 mb/sec. So, I can probably get a 4 gbs dvd at 10 mins or under.

Seems like you have to pay monthly.

Apparently in America the math is different. 3mb/sec would be 1.8gb every 10 minutes for the rest of the world.

See if they've got this one on usenet:

Can you get high def. stuff like blueray rips or HD tv shows?

Whats the fee?

Thanks.

With Rapidshare I can download a 720p film in less than 10 minutes.. any DVD in less than 2.

[Nightwalker]

Yeah, you can get anything on usenet, including PS3 games, high quality AV porn if you so desire, $500-2000 software, blue ray, hdvd, etc...

http://binsearch.info

Use that website to see if the stuff you need is on usenet.

As for the fee, the monthly fee for unlimited download from newshosting is $15/month. If you arent going to download more than 20 gb/month, you can opt for the cheaper version.

I got Windows 7, the corporate version, 6-8 months before it is released to the public.

What he said... Torrents are still free, same content...

I assume, unlike bit torrent, you don't need to "seed" or upload packets. It's download only right?

No uploading or seeding. It is pure downloading.

I think it is worth the investment, especially when you dont get bs virus and spyware like you do through bittorrent.

$15/month isnt really that expensive.

Never have received spyware or viruses from a torrent. You sure do plug it.

You mean you where using beta or RC?

Lol nothing to brag about.

Mini was good enough while it lasted. Sad day indeed.
