is BitTorrent just pretty much the same thing as kazaa and bearshare and morpheus and all those things? or is there any benefits to having it? i have kazaa lite now, would there be any point in getting BitTorrent?

you don't have to worry about fake and corrupted files.

so is bittorent a replacement for kazaalite, or an ad-on?
and is it worth getting?

you start off with slow speeds with bittorrent, but wait about 10-15mins and your speeds will be fast.

No, bittorrent tracker is not down, the tracker that is down is suprnova's :x



As the news item below says, we've taken down the trackers.

However, we can keep the torrents/trackers alive if we have other servers host them for the remaining days of the month.

What you need to have to host a good tracker:
- Dedicated server (no home lines!)
- Linux server
- up to 80GB a day traffic
- CPU power 1500Mhz or higher

Contact us here (hosting offers only! all other mails will be ignored)

We need them quickly though, so mail us soon! :P

-Generally better speeds
-Better file-sharing system
-Cleaner network
-Premium access to the latest files

What's left to convince you?
