Softmp3 turns nordic... :(

While I don't think it's good, I can understand why they are doing it. Put yourself in their situation, why would you want the added headache? While I understand the site is all about it's user's they must have thought through this decision. Right?

Well its natural as its a sister site to SweDVDR wich also is Nordic only :/

I know, but I wasn't quite understanding the whole post. You were saying if you belong to a .com/net ISP provider, then by default you'll show up as a US member, even if you're in another country?

i won't say that's always the case because i don't know for sure. however, i do know that it's very common. all the time i see swedish peers (judging by the isp name) show a US flag because the isp domain is .com

the vuze country locator always shows the correct country based on the ip. it even shows world maps and advanced country statistics for each torrent. i always know the ip, hostname and country of every peer i'm connected with. i can even see wether the peer uses a fake client, set up/down speed, block upload or kick and ban single peers hence countries.

Well back on topic, I think it is a great shame that softmp3 decided to close off to the rest of the world. I would probably have ranked this as the leading general music tracker after What/Waffles.
