Renzor a member of OiNK, TPB looking at a new protocol to replace .torrents

[Indefinite]

Following the bust of the OiNK BitTorrent tracker, most of its 180,000 members are keeping their heads down and trying to stay inconspicuous. However, Trent Reznor, frontman of Nine Inch Nails isn’t worried: “I had an account there” he said. “it was like the world’s greatest record store.”

The guys from The Pirate Bay are always working on interesting side-projects, but there is one in particular that’s so significant, it might be the future of filesharing. For a while now, they have been working on a brand new protocol - which may come to replace BitTorrent in the near future.

Aren't there lots of new file-sharing and P2P protocols being developed all the time? Only a few of these actually become mainstream.

[Indefinite]

The main point of TPB is to create a protocol similar, yet independent from BitTorrent.
However, there are far more greater networks, nowadays.

The entire point for this is because BitTorrent Inc., the makers of the protocol that everyone uses, is close sourcing bits of it which isn't really acceptable at this point. Thus the need for a new protocol.

A friend recently hooked me up with this: Alliance P2P - Secure file sharing or SourceForge.net: Alliance - Friend-2-friend network

Haven't tested it yet, but I'm going to do so today.

I like torrents because they're web-searchable

[DuckDuckGoose]

Hmm the Trent Reznor thing is pretty neat.

There's been alot of talk about Waffles.fm aswell.
Most are saying this will be the one to replace OiNK; I haven't had the chance to scope it out yet, though.

Says they only have music so far

Allowed Torrents

• Only music is allowed here. For now, our code is optimized to only handle music torrents. Eventually, we will add support for software, e-books, audiobooks, etc.
• All musical compilations: Albums, EPs, LPs, singles, etc. No discographies.

And that's the way they should keep the tracker.
I remember the piggy being trashed up with more soft than music.
As for e-books, audiobooks and videos - I don't mind, as long as they're related musically (lessons, gigs, etc.)

Lmfao, "Renzor?" It's Reznor.

[Indefinite]

Ok, that's a typo. Happens.

Waffles is hosted by the same guy, so it surely will be the one to replace OiNK, unless someone exploits the current situation.
