Local Torrents?

well on local, theres ppl whose states sit in the terrabytes.. so i dunno if its worth it :)
 
I find openweb very good actually. Never given me hasles and though im 3 gig intenational and 30gig local i think i have a 512 connection (not sure, on a download i get around 35-40kb per sec on a shared connection), so no probs whatsoever :D Great for playing America's Army Online :D

There seems to be a problem with Greenlab. It looked promising at the beginning, though I did notice quite a bit of emphasis on Upload/Download ratios and a lot of "don't be a leecher" type of talk. What they failed to realise is that since they didn't have many members, there wasn't a lot to download. And consequently people didn't visit as much. Hence without many Peers, the download speed was much poorer than the international torrents.

While you have a situation like that you can't start imposing heavy restrictions.

Then came the e-mail debacle. This really showed the site up as poorly run. This breeches all known privacy rules of running a website and I wouldn't be surprised if they got sued/shut down.

I don't know what they are up to now because my username has been disabled. This just underlines my point about unprofessionalism. Has it become a pay-site now? That's what they seemed to be aiming for all along. Schoolboys trying to make it rich!

Site is still working fine.
 
If you have international bandwith available then by all means demonoid, filelist, midnight-torrents but what happens when all you have is local bandwith?

You can sit and play with your fingers and wait till the beginning of the month when you do have international bandwith, or you can buy prepayed gigs at R70 per gig and download from international at 400kbs, or you can pay R131 for 30 gig local only account and download at 20kbs. It might take you longer to get a file from a local torrent site but its not like we have lots of alternatives availible to us.

Well if you have lots of money lying around and you can buy 30 gigs (saix) then yea but i think the norm will be around 3 gigs of international bandwith. Thats good for maby 2 movies or one game. But at what price?
 
Yup the newserver is the best :) Seeing files coming in @ 430kbs is the best

DUDE where do you get your info - you must work for army intelligence or something!!

The reason your username would be disabled is you don't use the site.

There is nothing more dangerous than the missinformed.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

There is a difference between being stupid and making a mistake.. :)

Anyhow as it has been said before not to much harm was done and the site is getting better and is getting more and more users everyday.!

We just need people to forget about the past mistakes that where made and help support the site. If you dont want to support the site, then dont. But some people need an alternative for local torrents.. Maby not you..

Anyhow thanks for all the support from all the users.

Cheers Freaksta

My thoughts exactly!

For any donation of R45 you will be credited with 3 GIGS on your upload.

For any donation of R90 you will be credited with 7 GIGS on your upload.

For any donation of R180 you will be credited with 15 GIGS & made a VIP for the month
