Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
Softmp3 is the best tracker when it comes to music trackers that only allow scene releases.

In my opinion the only great feature provided by s0ftmp3 was the "ARCHIVE SECTION" like SweDVDR provide aswell. Its nice to download old scene Releases, but 5 or 7 years ago rips were not so good as today rips are made.
For new scene rips we have the usual suspects.
I wont miss s0ftmp3 4sure. :P

Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
Well, I'm sure there will be non-Nordic people using Nordic VPNs to get access yet again.
I don't think it was due to the the legal notice letters anyway.

LOL ta that :lol:
Back 2 topic. Will I be able to use softmp3 again w/o a proxy if I recieve an invitation from member and sign-up using Nordic proxy? Anyone knows?
-
Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
You'll probably be able to sign back up through a proxy just fine, but more than likely you'll eventually just get disabled again.
But anyways, a lot of people have lost their Softmp3 accounts. It's not like the tracker is a one of a kind tracker though. Just gain membership to any other that supplies mp3 scene releases.

Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
If this decision is mainly based on community purpes... It wouldn't bother me at all, but for security reasons I don't see this as solution for anything.
-
Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
too bad.
stmusic doesn't come near to soft.
it was one of my favorites.
anyone have recommendations for similar trackers?
(that will not take me few years to get invited :\ )

Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
My account was disabled, too... :cry:
And I was a member for a long time, with good ratio. They say that connecting from multiple IPs is a security risk... Being on dynamic IP, I can't do anything about it! Of course I have a different IP every day.
So, it's bye bye softmp3! It was a good site for scene releases, and I'm gonna miss it...
-
Re: Softmp3 turns nordic... :(
I would go to the support channel like the link says and see if anything can be done to recover your account. Some people have gotten back in. Not sure if they were special exceptions or it was because their country was not a big threat.

that's bs d00d, even if your IP changes every day, they will see that all of them beling to one ISP... my guess is you weren't active or you had a bad ratio

I was active. In fact, I was seeding more than 20 torrents when they disabled my account. And my ratio was close to 3. Maybe I wasn't downloading enough by their standards...

Ok, so there are anti-p2p people in nordic countries. So a nordic site decides it would be more secure to only have nordic members (IE ones that could be prosecuted by these anti-p2p people)?
Yea, that sounds logical :blink:
In other news: A tracker hosted in the USA is now only accepting USA members, to help make them more secure :D

Well, we dont have much anti-P2P here in scandinavia compared to other countries. Anyway, the admin of Softmp3 have stated that they have got threats from industries outside Sweden, and that is the reason for the removal of non-nordic members.

If its in another country, why worry? Until their government steps in on the other countries behalf, theres nothing they can do to stop anything, other then sending empty threats, which apparently works...

Other scene release sites for music are are VIPmusic, FileMP3, STMusic, What, Waffles, and the big 0day sites like SCT, FTN, and SCC. Can't say much about VIPmusic or Filemp3, cause I'm not members at either tracker anymore and they weren't spectacular last time I was on them.
I wouldn't recommend STMusic for anything other than scene releases, since I've found they have a HUGE amount or dupe torrents labelled as v0 that are CBR.
Your best bet is one of the aforementioned 0day sites or What/Waffles.
