[piratebay.org](http://piratebay.org) when you feel like torrenting. meh. a lot of the shit comes from demonoid. Anyway, I forgot what the fuck the name was, but that big anti-piracy confrence shit got leaked. looks pretty bad for anyone who downloads anything. some of it was pretty sketchy as far as using a freeware player to play copyrighted material on (like say a dvd that you own). Was pretty fucking messed. can dl it on piratebay. ---

Demonoid’s ratio system doesn’t work properly, so it’s not accurate. Also they do not store email address, or IPs. ---

Instead of clicking on “create NZB” you click “queue NZB” and it doesn’t immediately download the NZB. Once you get a few things queued up you can download them all as one big NZB and start your download. So far I’m really impressed with this. Found a couple movies I couldn’t find on newzbin because it was past their very short retention. Downloading one that is 528 days old right now. ---

I really need to get my file server back up and running. I’ve been re-running all of the CAT5 in my house and have to put up some more shelf supports before I can put my server in it’s place.
