MovieX leeching case, another point of view

Posted on 01.12.2007 at 12:24 in Offtopic by Martin

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.

    after reading the articles about moviex i signed up and its not aping the community u morons. just keep ratio at .70 and u dont get banned. that means people actually seed not like public sites where my speed goes slow because people dont seed. dont see how making people seed is raping the community.

    Been with them nearly four months. Ratio of 1.3 with a download of 150Gb and am also VIP. Benefits of both. No pressure to pay, Yep torrents d/l quickly, but even quicker with the direct d/l links.

    People who say it is impossible to get a high ratio – cannot understand where you are coming from. I download and leave seeding.

    Yes on the site you get your snatch and runners but as they do not seed they do not last long. What is wrong with that.

    Just my tuppence worth.

    Here’s the bit that people fail to understand, and precisely why MovieX’s policy is evil:

    Most private trackers that do rejection will do it on both ends – they will not allow you to participate in their private swarm, full stop. Join up, or you don’t get it. A bit like coming to a toll bridge – if you don’t pay, you don’t get across.

    What MovieX does is say “If you want to take part you’ll have to join, but even if you don’t we’ll take your bandwidth anyway”. There are ways of moralizing the whole download thing, but whichever way you look at it, this is stealing.

    The article just summed up the whole unjust behavior of moviex network.
    In my personal experience torrents with moviex tracker get bigger ratio than the normal ones. All the moviex fan-boys doesn’t have a clue of the principle of p2p, thats for sure!
    We’he fought spam, we’ve fought viruses, this is just another one we have to eventually kill out. The best solution is to block moviex.info with your firewall.

    I just think people should delete Moviex tracker from torrent and use TPB tracker. I have been doing it since moviex issue heated up.

    I would rather upload to people who are not making profit of my uploads!

    Its better you upload to TPB peers.
    Torrent community is supposed to be Free, some times you leech some times others leech from you. Dont allow others to leech from you and dont give any thing to the free community!

    Moviex is making no difference in torrents available, I used to get every thing when there was no Moviex! Why care about Moviex, just Delete their tracker, and add the IP to peergurdian.

    Most of the torrent sites are supporting Moviex, why not, they are looking at the huge profits, when every one will have to pay for any damn torrent!
