Which torrent sites are hosted in the US?

[Unstable1]

hi

i've just read that funfile is hosted in the US, which is enough for me to stop using the site and let my account expire.

what other sites are hosted in the US as i'm not comfortable using them?

thanks

[Tokeman]

None of the good ones, thats for sure. I'd like to know any others as well though, good information to have.

what an utterly nieve and pointless question.Nevermind the nill chance of any of this even happening, but the US does NOT have any more risks than anywhere else for piracy takedowns, it just has more of them, because its a big place.

If your that paranoid about piracy than stop using it completely, I don't how many ppl actually care about this.

[SenorBubbz]

I don't, i live in the US and i don't give a rats ass about the RIAA or the MPAA

they can suck my balls for all i care

[Tokeman]

bitmetv
Edit: im a moron, it is in usa, at least the domain name is.

if you were at least literate, i might value your opinion a little more.

it's "nil", "naive" and "you're" you plank.

[yayyyyyy]

NetAccess have many DCs... AFAIK they have presence also in Canada (referring to revtt and bitsoup)

http://www.aboutus.org/Nac.net (http://mailarchive.oct.nac.net/operations/maillist.html)


The recent addition of our London Point of Presence (POP) extends our services into Europe. Our network also extends into Canada with the addition of our new data center location in Toronto.

I don't want to sound stupid, but what's the number after it for? I know it's not level.

[1000possibleclaws]

the numbers are a rating out of 10 on the tracker's quality

If you want to get all technical on the poor guy, it is "it's", and "people". the letter "I" should be capitalized as well. I'm just saying... :naughty:

[Tokeman]

meh, this is the internet. I feel comfortable using sub par grammar, so long as its understandable. It is kind of a habit now.
I am hoping some of those sites are not really solely based in the usa, that would make me a little uneasy.

[JROQuinn]

yea us Americans are uptight paranoid assholes anyway :P

[Diiyad]

Do you not realize this is a public forum?

[JROQuinn]

um, because I said asshole? or the truth that we are uptight & paranoid?

you started the insults by patronising me. i dont care whether you think its naive that i dont want to use american sites, thats not what this thread is about.

can we get this thread back on topic now please?

Nevermind, the fact is even withought using american-based sites, its likely anything you'll want to dl is american and will be subject to american copyright laws anyway.Can we close this pointless topic now:dry:.

i download very little US material actually.

please stop trolling my thread, who are you to say a thread should be closed?

go screw yourself.

[bikernin]

thanks to this thread i will score As in my english classes now :D
more on topic, i dont think it really matters where the site is hosted. if there has to be a takedown, it could happen anywhere. as far as i can remember none of the sites recently taken down were hosted in the us. so the best bet is to stay in close communities and keep them safe

[bigdaddykane]

it does not really matter where you live is all the same.unless you live in the amazon.lol.

why this?

[fatcat69]

LoL you download very little US material...i find that hard to believe. So no software, movies, music, games, apps, tv shows? As a majority of software, games, music, apps, and tv shows popular on such sites are US Copy written.

No matter where you download something, if you dont own the copyright, you are at risk.

none of the files are hosted on the servers, thats how torrenting works. Therefore it doesnt matter at all where the torrent server is located, as it isnt breaking any laws, the users possibly are.

If you torrent, there is a 95% chance that you will connect to a peer in the US on nearly all the trackers out there, as the US has a large number of torrent users. So thats how youll be at risk....you cant get in trouble for accessing a torrent site, as you are not breaking any laws in doing so (unless its some sicko site)

So if you are really worried about it...use your firewall and block the US ip range.

[Unstable1]

the only stuff i download which is US material is maybe some games and a few films (but not many). overall i would say US material constitutes perhaps 10% of my total content.

the vast majority of what i download is UK TV, UK music and European and Asian films. i hate Hollywood with a passion and consider US TV to be mostly garbage, except for a couple of shows which which are ok.

it may be hard for an american to understand that there is a world outside of the US, but there is, and the quality is often much higher than the trash produced by hollywood. i dont listen to much american music either.

as i mainly use british torrent sites, ive been led to believe that US-based sites are where the dangers lie. perhaps thats wrong, but i feel safer not using sites hosted in the US.

the country i live in has just introduced some very harsh anti-file-sharing laws, which can result in up to 1 year in prison if prosecuted and found guilty, so i would like to be cautious (i am british, but live abroad).


But as I stated, it doesnt matter where the site is hosted...it matters where the file is hosted!

Torrenting =files not hosted on site!

Meaning, you can be on a server based in sweden or romania or whathave you but still have peers connecting from anywhere in the world. When you download something, click the peers tab and you will see plenty of people connecting to you from "anti-filesharing" countries. Any of which can be agents.

It doesnt matter where the site is hosted, its where the peers connecting to you are from.

Not going on US hosted sites does absolutely nothing for you, as you will still be connected to peers from the US for your torrents...meaning still "in jeopardy"

Your paranoia is unjust and pointless as its not the sites you need to worry about...just the peers.

[monk3y]

fatcat tell that to piratebay who just got sewed ( misspelled ? ) over this.
Anyhow good to know that TT is using american cause i'm using this site a lot although most of the content there is European and underground.
How come bitmetv is in the us and still didn't got busted ? when will it happen ? soon i hope ?

hmmm...maybe you're right, but what bothers me about US sites is if my details are passed on to the authorities of the country i live in and pressure put on them to prosecute me.

knowing what the americans are like about filesharing, i could imagine them trying to prosecute filesharers in other countries. however, i doubt that the romanians or swedish or dutch would try and pressure my current country in to prosecuting me.

lol they have way too many people in their own country to try to sue people in other countries.:lol:

For every 1 they prosecute, the press about them makes 10,000 try it and start using it.
