Its the best IMHO, has most movies, tv shows, games on all consoles, applications and I usually get download speeds of over 600kbs these days.
Haven't got any invites at the moment but when I get some more I'll keep you in mind.

I too think it's the best site, particularly for quick release of TV shows. Generally up within an hour of the show finishing and always high quality.

I don't have any invites at the moment either, but will most likely offer them about on here when I do so keep looking.

I had a TL account but it's gone!
I have no idea how

Invite would be GREAT!
I love 'Food and Stuff'. It's where I buy all of my food. And most of my stuff.

I recall I promised you one when I got some, I haven't got them when I thought I would (I was upgraded to power user or whatever they call it).

If a person were hypothetically quite good at d'loading TV shows etc and understood torrents quite well, but had never d'lded music, where might such a person hypothetically look in the first instance?

Edited to add that a hypothetical person might hypothetically be looking for general pop stuff, not indie/unsigned stuff.

STMusic



And is there anywhere that puts up SANFL games? Since the demise of the coverage on ABC2, this season I was getting some recorded and sent over by family members, but would be quicker and easier if I could get them via torrent. Any chance we could start up a tracker here for next season, I'm happy to make my seedbox available.

I noticed the Grand Final this year was on diwana.org.
They also had about half a dozen games last year on there, might have been more this year but I haven't been keeping up.

Thanks Wedgie.

Anyone got a Diwana.org invite they're not using? Will swap for Torrentleech, SuperTorrents or STMusic invite.

Quick question, how well do torrents for programs and games work? I've ever only downloaded video and audio.

Any ideas why most of my audio file downloads stop at 99%? Really really annoying.

Yeah, that'd be because you're downloading them from a dodgy site.

Check to make sure that the aren't acutally fully downloaded. Sometimes the client gets a bit confused and says it's 99.9% when in fact it is at 100%.

Either TorrentPortal (which has lots of duds) or Mininova.

Best you get an account at a decent site like torrentleech.org

I get 95% of my stuff from them and its all good stuff with not one dud.
(They have music, movies, tv shows, computer programs, games for every console and PC, ebooks, basically everything! - They even have an associated porn torrent site when they split porn up from the site called pussytorrents)
Ive downloaded a total of 551 gig from that one site alone! :shock:
(torrentleech that is, not pussytorrents)

The only 2 other sites I use are:
http://special.pwtorrents.net/
(pro wrestling torrents)

I just checked at torrentleech.org and for me to get 2 invites I'd have to donate $50 so if anyone wants an invite and are prepared to part with $25 let me know. I can tell you its well worth it, Im sure any others who have an account with them would agree, I think the fact that Ive downloaded more than half a terrabyte with them speaks for that, if I had to Id pay a couple of hundred bucks for an account with them.

http://diwana.org
(Aussie and UK stuff)
