Is the pirate bay working for you nogs? I got a copyright infringement today from Comcast now the pirate bay won't pull up, just wondering if it's a coincidence. Also does anyone know an easy way to get peer guardian working with Win 7?
-
Fuck just dual boot XP man.
I havent bothered with PB since my ISP kept sending me Cease and Desist emails. <<<<[awaits net-neutrality act to pass]
-
Ok good, was about to be pissed if the fuckers cut off my free downloads.
-
PB is down, never had one of these letters, maybe isps in canada don't care?
-
The email says they recv a report from the company the copyright is against, so they just have a dirty seed setup. Peer guardian didn't work, so didn't fool with it. Looks like I'll have to now.
-
Lol, the best part is they were accusing my ip of downloading some fucking baseball video game bullshit. I dont even play video games. Fuckers.
-
TPB is back up.
-
lies!
-
sucks
pb is down for me, same with demonoid
-
lies!

PB still down here too, and Demonoid has been down for a good min.

Maybe your ISP just blocked you from TPB?

Maybe TBP just blocked there site from the usa? :P
Works great for me.

Found this dated 10/05/09:
"Following up on a story we have been following for a while, according to multiple reports ThePirateBay.org was shut down again, today, after a group representing copyright owners forced the search engine’s new bandwidth provider, NForce to cut off service.
At the time of publication the site is inaccessible.
Apparently there is a nonstop effort to go after any ISP that provides bandwidth to The Pirate Bay, to shut the down the site, by threatening the ISP with lawsuits and fines. "
And this, they are ready for war:

lame.

Ahahhaaahhaaa. That is awesome.

Demonoid - down for upgrade
Super Torrents
PureTA

So it is just your ISP blocking you.

so are you trying to tell me that my isp is blocking the site?
Yes.

Quit using public trackers and you won't get those letters.
I got two within a few months while using the public bullshit. One for downloading Dead Space for xbox 360, and another for...pokemon? I know I sure as fuck never downloaded pokemon, not so sure if friend or his fiance did...
99% of my torrents are downloaded to the seedbox first, in Europe, then home. I doubt I'll ever see a letter again.
-
i used it last night. but for some reason right now it wont load...this is odd
-
my whole family uses tpb and have been for years and we have never got one letter just gotta download form the trusted uploaders i guess
-

I just don't have time to troll through all the torrent sites out there to find the good ones.
it's much easier asking you guys :P
-
Most cross referrence each other in the torrent's tracker list.

IT'S BACK UP

Well when you get a private tracker site for games hook me up, or setup a private torrent on TPB for a nog.
-
I have a few invites for bitgamer and bitmetv.
You just missed a week of freeleech on bitgamer...I think I grabbed about 60 games for xbox 360.
Ratio: 20.260
Uploaded: 1.38 TB
Downloaded: 69.64 GB
Built a nice ratio in that week.
PM an email address.

IT'S BACK UP
Welcome to yesterday... :P

if you guys want xbox games, sign up on xbox360iso.com

All of yesterday I tried accessing it and it was down for me.

I will never get an invite to a good hd movie site lol. I have been with the torrentbits family since day one coming from redbeards first site and that's pretty much the only tracker system I ever stayed with since I believe public trackers are extremely important to overwhelming and destroy the jew run media.

some members here have invites to x264.me
I don't.
Good site.
bithq, hdbits are both good too...bithq is easy to get into but you'll only get bluray ISOs from it, kinda larger
hdbits has been closed for invites forever.

I only like good brr and h264 rips the people who make like a 20gig rip for a 1.2 hour long romantic comedy are fucking retards
90% of movies are GOOD TO GO at 7gig or less, shit films look fine with 4 gig rips, some of the newer higher paced action, better quality equipment films and very high saturation movies require delicious 10 gig rips but no fucking reason to go bigger
to test this I got a 3 gig 720brr of Amelie, a 7 gig 720 and 14 gig 1080 and the difference between 3 to 7 was noticeable on a 47" brand new phillips, the 14 gig had to be paused and photographed to notice a difference despite much more resolution. same source too.
i dont know why i felt the need to type that, im drinking.
-
20 gig for 1.2 hours is a bit excessive and i'm sure you're exaggerating anyway...
Most normal length, 1080p movies, that are newer, and filmed digitally compress really well and you can get to 8-10gb without any noticeable quality loss... The biggest thing that'll make them bitrate hungry is film grain... All that random shit that changes every frame does not make it easy to compress. Fargo 1080p took me 14gb and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 1080p took me 16gb. They are both 3 hour, old, grainy as hell movies. The 4GB flac audio file for Good/Bad/Ugly didn't help (it was a 5GB DTS-MA stream).
"Scene" encoders aim to meet a filesize, which is retarded IMO. I've seen a shitton of scene encodes that are bitrate starved, and some with bitrates over 20mbps...which is higher than the original bitrate on some blurays :/
x264 encoders aim for transparency... They actually run tests at different settings/bitrates and compare frames from source/encode, and try to find a bitrate that isn't ridiculous, but and encode that matches the source extremely well. Most people won't notice the difference (like mp3 compared to flac), but it is what it is. Harddrives are cheap, I'll go for quality :P
http://jorsher.com/upload/x264/grantorino/ (http://jorsher.com/upload/x264/grantorino/) <- gran torino, 8gb
http://jorsher.com/upload/x264/goodbadugly/ (http://jorsher.com/upload/x264/goodbadugly/) <- the good, the bad, and the ugly, 16gb
Fargo is the grainiest piece of shit I've ever came across. The bitrate I settled on was around 15mbps, but I'm going to re-encode with a newer build of x264 and see how it turns out...
-
you hit the nail on the head with the grainy shit
see; parts of sin city, and ALL of fucking band of brothers on br

BOB 1080p was actually something I was going to encode and yes it's grainy as fuck. The bluray version < hd-dvd version since bluray authors like using digital noise reduction... I had the 200gb of HD-DVD sources, and some faggot said he was already halfway through encoding the bluray 1080p, so I deleted, and here it is 8 months later without them done...so a friend is starting the 1080p. We're thinking it'll end up around 70-80GB :/ Grain is a bitch. Usually we end up aiming for grain retention and ignore the "grain shift", because it's going to happen...even if you re-encode with the same ridiculous original bluray bitrate. The 576p ended up being 25GB.
If you ever encode you'll see some fucked up transfers/sources that'll piss you off. The Gladiator bluray was complete shit and generated quite a few pissed off people. Then you have companies that upscale the original DVD transfer and sell it for bluray prices...like with Terminator 2. And then there are those that do completely shitty transfers. Here's something I ran across yesterday:
http://ks28547.kimsufi.com/Untitled.mkv (http://ks28547.kimsufi.com/Untitled.mkv)
http://ks28547.kimsufi.com/Untitled2.mkv (http://ks28547.kimsufi.com/Untitled2.mkv)
You'll have to play it frame-by-frame to see what the hell I'm talking about, but it's going to be a bitch to encode since a majority of it is 30fps progressive, and then there are scenes that are 4 good frames followed by a duplicate frame that needs to be trashed (makes the video jumpy) and set to 24fps...then the scenes like the clips above where it's 3 good frames, a duplicate WTF IS WRONG frame, and then a frame that's not a duplicate but has blending... Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.
Of course, you could be toysrme and think you're hot shit because you use a click-and-go program in combination with a x264-farm which utilizes an outdated as fuck build of x264 (which is updated at least 2 times a week, on average)
It's nice starting with a shitty source and ending up with something that looks better, and nice having 1000+ high-quality videos at your disposal to stream anywhere around your home, but it can be a pain in the ass.
