Admin's View On Torrent Ddls

[DarthInsinuate]

are links to torrents prohibited under this rule:


6. Posts that contain direct download links to copyrighted software, private ftp sites, serial numbers, warez sites, and hacking sites are prohibited.

or are they allowed under this clause?:


Sig2dat quicklinks and hashes are NOT considered to be DDL, therefore allowed.

edit:

Sorry, but we can't allow torrents on the bord.

[Wizzandabe]

Make a filter paul.

Are you allowed to name a torrent (no link though) and link to a site / search (like NovaSearch) for users to find it on?

[VB]

That's ok.

[abu_has_the_power]

it's for copyright shit purposes. so the site doesn't get taken down, like digital-update.com/forums did. that was a great forum too. (sigh)

You ought to look in to it paul..maybe reform the verifieds for torrents.Cut suprnova out.Its awaste of time lately anyway.I&#39;ve had a torrent running/waitin to be moderated for the last 16hrs and still waiting. :unsure:

[Sparkle1984]

I can&#39;t understand why torrents aren&#39;t allowed if sig2dat links are.
Also there are other boards with torrents, and they haven&#39;t been shut down.

Torrent files are different because you can compare them with the first part of a rar archive. Allowing this is like posting htt*://somelink.to/somewarez.rar cause they are the first step to download a file.

At Phoenix Torrents (http://www.phoenix-torrents.com/index.php) you dont have to be moderated , just make the torrent upload it. ;)
