Where do you go to get your music downloads?

At the moment I use mininova or isohunt torrent search, but it's not so great if you're looking for slightly older songs (songs that aren't so popular or 0-day).

I used to use gnutella/edonkey combo clients, but these days I only get spoofed virus/trojan results from searches on those.

Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe some other technology than torrents? Should I go back to Ye Olde Days(e?) of IRC?

they're emo-looking, not punk-looking.

but it can be argued that emo is the 2000's punk sigh

if anyone sees any real punk looking guys in porn, PM me pls! drool

:punk:

UPDATE: The amount of time you have to get your ratio up to an acceptable level has changed to 10 days.

Maybe it would be a good idea to allow movies to be put in multiple categories? I reckon that'd make more obscure categories get used.

That way videos that, for example, have group sex involving an older man, and young twink and a hunky guy can be in all four categories: Hunks, Twinks, Groupsex, Mature.

Autofallacio, eh? I wonder how that works…

I agree with what most people have already said so far. I think the site looks great. I like the pinstripes, personally.

But like everyone has already said, the text in the top-left is difficult to read. The text that says:
Welcome back, pickknic [logout]
Ratio:1.307 Bonus: 46.3
Uploaded: 6.69 GB Downloaded: 5.12 GB

It's around the yellow/orange colours where it starts getting hard on the eyes - notice the text over the blue (and even the red) parts are fine to read. I think all that needs doing is either to darken the flag, or make it a little more grey/washed out. Changing the colour of the font/text won't fix things. For example, if you use black text, it will make stuff over the yellow part of the flag easy to read, but the darker blue area will be too hard to read then.

Ideally would be text like when you rollover/mouseover the "Home Browse Search Upload …" menu - white with a black outline. Unforunately, you can't do that effect with plain text, only with pictures

I guess someone has taken affront at a message I posted previously about the recent "last post of this thread" game (because it's now been removed by admin), and I wanted to apologise. Actually someone else (non-admin) PM'ed me and hinted that what I said might've upset people.

It was all meant tongue-in-cheek, and I meant no harm - whichever admin removed it, I hope I didn't offend you too much by it. I often forget that aussie humour goes over people's heads if they're not used to it - it's just our way to 'take the piss' (and I don't mean watersports).

I don't remember the last line of that post verbatim, but it went something like this:

I had a great time playing the game, nice to get involved in the forums. Cheers to the admin(s) who allowed it.

Sounds like a great idea at first - if you're not lifting your weight, restrict your downloads.

But, the problem is, everyone begins at a ratio of 0. And by your plan, that means everyone starts with a file size limit of 50mb.

Who wants a 50mb file?? Talk about crummy quality viewing. The only people who would want to download a 50mb file are those who need to just to get their ratio up to begin with. But, because nobody wants to download it, their ratio never really increases.

The thing I like about gt.ru is that people don't hold back on the quality (and hence filesize) of the shares. I think the filesize limiting might work against that

A better idea might be say
0.1 - 0.15 : maximum 1 download, no limit on filesize, but you can only download 50mb of that file (in other words, until you get over 0.15 ratio, you're stuck with only 50mb of the large file you started downloading.) This means people when they first start out will look for torrents that are in high demand to get over that hump asap - that's starts them out with the right habits, and it's good for everyone at gt.ru

Hmm, now that I re-read what you said, maybe that's what you meant all along? Should I still hit the submit button?…. yeah why not.

I am WAY not in touch with US politics…

So the people of California voted on Gay Marriage recently, and the result was against it? I thought California was meant to be the gayest state in the US, I honestly thought that if a vote/referendum was put out in CA, it'd be overwhelmingly in support of gay marriage.
