Online Media Streaming, Torrents and More at BitLite.com

June 26, 10 by sharky   6,332  views  

BitLite is a brand new online multimedia storage service that comes with a twist: full BitTorrent support. Users are able to upload .torrent files locally or even from a remote torrent URL. And since the service works entirely on the server-side, download speeds are incredibly quick. Once completed, multimedia files (video, music & images) can then be streamed in a browser to provide flawless online playback. Listen to albums, create a playlist, view image libraries, and stream movies (even in 1080p HD) in full-screen mode just like as though if you were watching it on a home computer.

Being fresh out of the box and still in beta, BitLite is looking for 200 ‘live’ testers to help gauge how well capacity handles demand. For a short time FileShareFreak is offering a special free BitLite signup link available to the first two hundred lucky people:

TorrentSection - A Simple, Powerful Torrent Search Site

June 01, 10 by sharky   6,342  views  

In a perfect BitTorrent world, public torrent index sites wouldn’t be forced to shut down, censor content or block IP ranges. Popular torrent indexers TPB, MN & IH have become obsolescent to BitTorrent so as long as others continue to exist. The short (but sweet) history of BitTorrent is evidently repeating itself - indexers will continue to come and go.

Yet there’s a certain group of torrent sites that always seem to keep out of trouble, and that’s torrent meta-search sites. Take our featured torrent search TorrentSection.com, for example. Here’s a site that facilitates searching for torrents found on 12 popular torrent indexers, all in one handy search. Because TorrentSection doesn’t actually index the torrents itself (and only acts as a third-party), they stay under MAFIAA’s radar.

December 04, 09 by sharky   13,271  views  

Not too many BitTorrent clients are able to compete with uTorrent & Vuze, but if total control over your torrent transfers is a must, then Tixati is definitely something worth checking out. This new client offers an absurd array of advanced features; including trackerless torrent support, magnet links, and robust flexibility.

KickassTorrents - A Fast-Growing Torrent Indexer

November 02, 09 by sharky   12,608  views  

Rarely do we come across a public torrent site that’s worth writing extensively about. Most torrent indexers are little more than carbon copies of each other with few, if any, discernible features that make them stand out from the rest. You know the sites we’re talking about - AliveTorrents, ExtraTorrent, BTMon, TorrentFly, Torrentz - while great, it’s somewhat redundant to bookmark more than one. But there is one torrent indexer that’s doing things a little differently, and that’s www.KickassTorrents.com.

Demonoid Set to Return, But With Heavy Losses

September 27, 09 by sharky   41,566  views  

Offline for almost two weeks now and counting, many Demonoid users feared the worst: here we go again. After a lengthy 6-month absence from November 2007 to April 2008 - Demonoid rebounded well, and dutifully reclaimed the top spot among private trackers (if you can classify them as private). Inarguably one of the Internet’s most prosperous & prolific trackers of all-time, Demonoid is poised to make their return, albeit - the news is bleak.

The Strange PirateBay, or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Other Trackers

August 30, 09 by sharky   17,371  views  

Call this our obligatory TPB article.

We’ve kept out of the spotlight when it concerns anything newsworthy related to ThePirateBay. Why? Well, to keep it short: Firstly, we don’t fancy FSF for being known as a leading "news" blog; Secondly, in the end TPB exiting the scene really won’t have a large impact on public BitTorrent, anyways. So, after answering more than a just few emails in regards to what might happen to the BitTorrent filesharing protocol once TPB is RIP, it’s time to set a few things straight.

CakeTorrent Makes Torrent Downloading a Snap!

July 08, 09 by sharky   7,404  views  

As one of the more knowledgeable computer users among most of the people I know, I’ve had a lot of people ask me how to download things from the Internet, or how to use BitTorrent. After explaining to them what torrents are, how to install µTorrent, how to find and download .torrent files, etc. - well, the whole process can be a bit much for some people. Especially for those just starting out.

There’s a new site called CakeTorrent (www.caketorrent.com) with the sole purpose of making BitTorrent as easy as possible to use for people who have never heard of it. Or just quick and easy for the rest of us. Searching to downloading is just 3 clicks from the front page, and includes a mashup of torrent search engines with a browser based BitTorrent client - so that everything works without the need to download .torrent files or browse torrent sites. Users don’t even need to install a BitTorrent client on the home computer - it’s that simple. And of course, it’s free!

ExtraTorrent.com - A Rising Star on Public BitTorrent

July 01, 09 by sharky   27,568  views  

The timing couldn’t have been any better for ExtraTorrent.com. In the wake of shocking news that rocked the P2P community with The Pirate Bay selling out and even removing its tracker from public torrents; and Mininova filtering out illegal content - torrenters are being forced to move on to greener pastures. ExtraTorrent.com is one such torrent site that has picked up the pace, quickly skyrocketing to become one of the Internet’s top contenders among public torrent indexers.

Easy aXXo - A Torrent Site For Real aXXo Releases Only

March 04, 09 by sharky   29,606  views  

[Disclaimer - experienced private tracker users, hide your eyes]. Looking at traffic statistics for torrent sites, one could only correctly surmise that the vast majority of torrenters are still steadfastly using public trackers such as Mininova and The Pirate Bay. And when it comes to movies, only one name generates a gigantic buzz for the latest film releases - and that’s aXXo - Hollywood’s reviled nemesis.
