MovieX leeching case, another point of view
I felt somehow empathizing this morning when I read the stupid article at Torrentfreak, which was linked by some of our readers. The story basically moans about private MovieX tracker and their seeding methods. Long story short: these guys create torrents with 2 trackers and upload them to ThePirateBay. The first tracker is obviously public TPB and the second one is their own private MovieX tracker.
What’s the author of this hateful article complaining about is the fact, that MovieX doesn’t allow leeching from their tracker if you aren’t a registered user, but it allows to seed. This results in better speeds for registered users of that tracker, who can download from both private seeders and public users, who finished the download. On the other hand, users not registered at this private site will be available to download only from other public users, possibly resulting in slightly slower download speed.
The MovieX community has grown pretty fast recently due to this method and it now contains over 230 000 registered users. The thing which noone realized: it’s still open - you can go there right now, register and enjoy the benefits as all other users. There’s no catch, no registration fee or anything else, so it’s just those 2 minutes which will take you to fill the forms and the whole arguement is over.
Finally, I know the uploader of all those torrents who is known as loder at TPB. This guy does an awesome job for the BitTorrent community by releasing hundreds of scene only torrents just few moments after the pre (they are also appearing on NewTorrents.info, as this website focuses only on scene releases). He’s also seeding them at fast, dedicated 100 Mbit line. Without his daily work, there won’t be any of those fresh releases available to everyone, no matter if you can download them from public tracker or MovieX. I really urge those people who have nothing better to do than writing some stupid articles to think about it a bit and actually start doing something useful before they spit out their words of hatred - or at least shut up and silently appreciate the work of others.
dont try and support this stuff, next we know all private trackers do this and people give away tons but get little in return.
Find no harm in either using MovieX,TPB och NewTorrents.info, only a matter of taste.
