| Posted: 05 Dec 2008 04:32 AM CST MoviesX.info, a private BitTorrent tracker and a forum, has been down since the 4th of December. The exact reason for the downtime is not known as of this moment. According to TorrentFreak and a few other news articles (Article 1, Article 2), the site's servers were raided by the Australian police and two individuals have been arrested. However, a post by Devo (one of the moviex administrators) on site's temporary forums tell a different story.
Moviex's original URL (www.moviex.info) now redirects to http://www2.moviex.info/. It does not mention anything about the site being taken down but displays the notice "We Will Be Back Shortly" along with a link to what claims to be the MovieX temporary forums. Surprisingly, forum posts by Devo mention a hard disk failure to be the reason for current downtime:
Then an update on the 5th of December (again posted by DEVO):
At this moment, what actually caused the downtime at MovieX is not confirmed. If the site is really taken down, it remains to be seen whether it can pull a Demonoid and come back online. Related Articles |
| Games for Windows - LIVE 2.0 : Offline/standalone installer download Posted: 05 Dec 2008 05:46 AM CST Games for Windows – Live is an online service that bridges Microsoft's Live services with Games for Windows titled PC games. Personally, I'm NOT a fan of this application. But whether we like having GFW – Live installed or not does not matter. It is now a mandatory requirement to play some of the new games such as Grand Theft Auto 4. These games will prompt you to update your existing version of GFW – Live or will ask to download and install it before playing. This could be a real nuisance, specially if you have a low bandwidth connection or limited connectivity to the internet. The problem gets worse when you have multiple PCs. Hence we have included download links to Games for Windows - LIVE 2.0 Redistributable package – you will be able to download the standalone installer (updated 4th Dec 2008) once and then install it on as many PCs as you like even on those without or limited internet connectivity.
Developer Description This package will install LIVE Redistributable Games for Windows that enables the in-game Games for Windows - LIVE experience as well as the Games for Windows - LIVE Client that enables the out-of-game experience, including Games for Windows - LIVE Marketplace. Download [Click Here] to download Games for Windows Live 2.0 redistributable (core component only) directly from Microsoft [Click Here] to download Games for Windows Live 2.0 redistributable with additional components (Live Marketplace, etc) directly from Microsoft. |
| Seedit : Private torrent tracker without ratio requirements – Signups open Posted: 04 Dec 2008 12:35 PM CST One of the reasons some people don't like private torrent trackers is the mandatory ratio requirements. Some may argue that a ratio system ensures better download speeds while others may argue that it is hard to maintain a good ratio without a high bandwidth connection or a seedbox (specially on elite trackers such as SceneTorrents (ScT) and BitmeTV). However, aim of this article is not to argue about the pros and cons of a ratio system but to introduce a private tracker that is completely ratio free (similar to GFT - GFTracker); Seedit.org is a general tracker which does not have mandatory ratio requirements nor a ratio system of any kind.
Like any other General/0Day tracker, Seedit indexes movies, music, games, TV Shows, software and other content. It's a tracker based in Sweden but almost all of the torrents indexed are English scene releases. Seedit tracks close to 2500 torrents at the time this post is written. Number of registered users is unknown. As previously mentioned, Seedit is a ratio free tracker. However, that does not mean you are allowed to Hit and Run (HnR) at will. If you are not aware, a HnR is stopping the upload the moment you finish downloading a torrent without giving a rats ass about other peers. At Seedit, you need to seed every downloaded torrent for at least 36 hours (it does not matter what type of connection you have or how fast you can upload). Seeding does not need to be continuous either – just seed for a minimum of 36 hours within a week. Note that some of the interface commands are in Swedish language. Those who can't understand Swedish need not worry – all major commands are labeled in English. Site is currently open for signup and interested readers may join for free.
