This is why I tell everyone to turn on their encryption. :whistle:

Not to mention it helps to at least partially defeat some of those bastard ISPs that don't allow file sharing.

From Zeropaid.com;

Encrypted UK BitTorrent Traffic Increases by 1000%!

Will make proposed ISP content filtering meaningless.

In an interview with the BBC a few weeks ago, Lord Triesman, the parliamentary Under Secretary for Innovation, Universities and Skills, said intellectual property theft would no longer be tolerated in the UK. He then called on ISPs to take a "more activist role" in the problem of illegal file-sharing and said that ""If we can't get voluntary arrangements we will legislate."

Now it seems that new data obtained by The Register form a large UK ISP may actually mean that the proposed initiative will largely be ineffective for the number of BitTorrent users encrypting their traffic has increased dramatically.

In the last 12 months alone encrypted BitTorrent traffic has increased from 4 to 40%. Instead of encrypted torrents accounting for a mere 20Mbit/s of total network bandwidth they now comprise an astounding 200Mbit/s. Inversely, unencrypted torrents that once used 500Mbit/s of bandwidth now use only 350Mbit/s.

The development rightly has the British Phonographic Institute(BPI) already pulling their hair out and will certainly lead to claims that it can mask terrorist or child pornography related activities - their standard "in case of emergency" arguments.

Either way the news means that efforts to get ISPs to take a "more activist role" with illegal file-sharing will pretty much be pointless. Although deep packet inspection will allows you to identify encrypted file-sharing packets, you will be unable to actually look inside those packets for evidence of copyrighted material.

Neil Armstrong, products director at BT-owned ISP PlusNet, said: "It isn't possible for us to tell if a customer is downloading a copyright file or not unless we specifically 'snoop' every packet on the customer's line.

"We would obviously only do this where we have a proper request from the relevant legal authority to do so, and even then it is unlikely we would be able to see inside encrypted payloads," he said.

This development regarding increasing levels of encrypted BitTorrent traffic really drives home the point of how the music industry's fight against illegal P2P and file-sharing services is a losing battle and a total failure. They've spent hundreds of millions, if not several billions, of dollars defeating Napster, KaZaA, Grokster, Limewire, and Morpheus in successive order, but what did it really accomplish? All people did, the smart ones anyways, is migrate to more secure file-sharing programs like Usenet and BitTorrent. Even if they somehow succeed in cracking down on these two it will only mean that somebody will just invent an even more secure P2P protocol to succeed it.

In the meantime, 10 years later the music industry is still trying to figure out how to eliminate illegal file-sharing, even going so far as to propose banning prolific pirates from the internet itself. You think it would've figured it out by now that no matter how hard they try file-sharing is here to stay. It's a technology arms race that they'll never win.

@markboyjkl:

i have ratio 0.145. is it bad?

Yes, you need at least 0.350 or 35% to download.

You can find a lot of covers @ www.cdcovers.cc/covers

It's 99.999% non porn, but has a lot of GLBT theme covers.

We do not allow you to trade invites to other torrent sites, nor ask for them.

This restriction also applies to pay sites.

His last video was Mechanics 2 in 2005 and his escort service page was last updated in 2005.

@freakster83:

Hey. I am new here and i understand the that we are only allowed 3 active torrents if our ratio is below a certain level. My ratio is current 0.115, but i cant seem to download anymore stuff from this website. the tractor status says "bad ratio blah blah blah…. your current limit is 3 torrents at the same time"

I have only 3 torrents but only one seems to be working

That's because 1 file is 2 months old and the other is over 5 months old, both have only a few seeders. They tend to take longer to fully seed when they have a bit of age to them.

You are seeding 1 file and leeching another. Did you fix the problem?

If not, post the link to the torrent you are having problems with.

There are companies in the UK that are pretty good, just have to shop around.

Most of the "mainstream" ISPs are thieving bastards. However, with a bit of digging, you can find some decent ones.

My IPS lets me download 330gb a month, 45gb of that is during 8am to 8pm {edit Monday - Friday}, for £30. If I go over that amount, they charge me for the package that my usage fits into + £5 for that month. Then I go back to my normal package.

I made a guide on using this software;

I'm not a fan of face pubes, but the guy with the Matrix shirt on is much better looking.

The good studios have actors who can have sex without looking at the camera. It's the low budget ones that have the rubbish actors.

I've seen a variety of videos over the years and like FOOF, I can't think of many videos where they came without wanking. The ones that do cum without wanking probably got wanked off off camera just before the shot {pun intended}.

I prefer twinks and frats.

Sadly, the best studios {Eurocreme and it's sub studios} are no longer allowed to be posted here. :weep:

Any movie with overly muscled, bald guys is an automatic turn off for me. Same with fisting and such.

I forgot to mention that it's also illegal to disconnect you without a 30 day or your next billing cycle {which ever is later} written notice in the UK, except as part of a court or police order {ie you are breaking some law}.

A bunch of reforms went into law on 14 Feb 2007, giving consumers more rights as far as internet usage went.

Before 14 Feb 2007, we were at the complete mercy of the ISPs.

It's illegal in the UK not to clearly state the download limits.

Ironically enough, UK ISPs are allowed to claim "unlimited bandwidth" in their sales pitch as long as they include a Fair Use Policy or FUP stating what "unlimited bandwidth" actually means.

As an example, BT {British TeleCom, the former state owned phone company} has an unlimited package that only gives you 3gb per month at whatever download speed you can get {usually 3 to 4mb}, but after that, you are restricted to 10kb up and down.

Please be aware that many of the videos have multiple names due to them having multiple distributors.

Here are a few examples;

Allez les bleus!
aka: Screw Balls
aka: Kicker = Ficker
aka: Soccer Fuckers
aka: They Came From Behind

Bains douches
aka: Bareback Sauna
aka: Cum Inside: Bareback Members Only

Le Gland bleu: Deep Down Under
aka: Divers Go Down
aka: Diving Lagoon
aka: Plunged: Deep Down Under

Hard Sex
aka: Down on Your Knees: Forbidden Desire
aka: Leather Muscle Studs

Internat
aka: Dirty School Boys
aka: Further Education

I just found this out because I was sorting through my porn collection and found a lot of duplicates.

Here's a great place to find out if you have any duplicates;

Something went wrong with the torrent at some point. It shouldn't be 99.8%.

I've been looking into it a bit more.

It's "click +1" per 24 hours.

This means, you will need to click the ad from here {so we get credited for taking you to their site} and then click another link in their site. This works only once per 24 hours per user.

"Mainline" is the official new name of the original BT client made by Bram Cohen. It does include many of the features found in uTorrent. At this time, there are no plans to merge the 2 clients {Mainline and uTorrent}.

Mainline will be used by the Movie Industry as part of their attempt to get into the direct download market. So, YES, Mainline will report directly to the MPAA, at least while you are doing a "direct" download from a movie studio.

Azureus also has a separate client "Vuze" that will be used by the movie industry, for the same reason as with Mainline.

So, to recap;

Avoid Mainline and Vuze, as if your life depended on it.
