Thanks to Jim and Ado for setting up the BitTorrent tracker. Here
is a

I blogged about earlier.

Xeni Jardin:
Mark Pesce rants about
the recent shutdowns of BitTorrent supersites Suprnova.org and
TorrentBits.com.
Hey, Hollywood! Can you feel the future slipping through your fingers?
Do you understand how badly you've screwed up? You took a perfectly
serviceable situation - a nice, centralized system for the
distribution
of media, and, through your own greed and shortsightedness, are giving
birth to a system of digital distribution that you'll never, ever be
able to defeat. In your avarice and arrogance you ignored the obvious:
you should have cut a deal with SuprNova.org. In partnership you could
have found a way to manage the disruptive change that's already well
underway. Instead, you have repeated the mistakes made by the
recording
industry, chapter and verse. And thus you have spelled your own doom.
It's said that the best sequels are just like the original, only
bigger
and louder. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for one hell of a
crash. This baby is now fully out of control.

Your big article on M.I.A over the weekend reminded me that I had
downloaded a mix mp3 shortly after the Tsunami disaster comprised
exclusivly of Sri Lankan hip-hop. I can't remember where I originally
found the mix (boomselection, maybe?) so I just made a .torrent. 58.4

Bit Torrent : An Analysis
Bit Torrent : An Analysis
12/19/2004 03:10 PMHardy news site,
The Register, recently published a
detailed analysis of the file sharing protocol
Bit
Torrent. Bit Torrent has received attention in the main stream
news after reports that it was carrying as much as 50% of all peer 2
peer (p2p) traffic, which in tern amounted to a massive 30% of all the
traffic on the internet. The paper, by Dr. Johan Pouwelse, examines
the protocol and looks especially at one of the largest bit-torrent
hubs, Suprnova.org. He examines how just 20 moderators solve the
problem of fake files, something that plagues the traditional file
sharing networks like Kazaa.
Dr Powelse notes that the major problems facing hubs like suprnova are
fakes and maintaining hub availability. The availability of files on
bit torrent is based on a centralised system; without it, the network
fails as users cannot access the trackers. Decentralising bit torrent
has already begun - Suprnova have started a project called "
Exeem" which apparently has 5,000 beta
testers trialling it, and has an ultimate aim of taking the best of
Kazaa (a decentralised network) and merging it with Bit Torrent.
Decentralisation removes the issue of poor availability at the tracker
end, yet0 it also provides more scope for fake files and a reduction
in data integrity at the user end.
The paper concludes that bit-torrent needs to evolve to create
incentives to users to seed files. Bit-torrent as a protocol is a
system that’s here to stay; it enjoys more and more usage from more
main stream content providers. Yes, there is a lot of illegitimate use
of the protocol, but unlike Kazaa, these users should not be allowed
to over shadow the usefulness to legitimate users of the bit torrent
protocol.
[Update] Since this article was published, Suprnova has
shutdown as a hub for torrents. Although this cannot be confirmed, the
shutdown is very likely related to legal action from the
Hollywood against tracker
websites; earlier in the week many other sites were taken down.
The effectiveness of the takedowns could be massive; the paper below
notes that when on the Suprnova mirrors went offline during their
monitoring period, they saw a massive reduction in the number of users
downloading files through the site.

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent
06/17/2005 03:18 PMResearchers at Microsoft's computer science lab in Cambridge have
developed a peer-to-peer filesharing system that they say overcomes
the scheduling problems associated with existing distribution
protocols such as Bit Torrent.
The researchers claim download times are between 20-30 per cent
faster, using their network coding approach, than on systems that only
code at the server, and between 200 and 300 per cent faster than
distributing un-encoded information.

Microsoft sent DMCA takedown notices to our two webhosts,

We've stood up to these kinds of legal threats before (see the Grey

started this site primarily as a demonstration and to that end it's

Eyes on the Screen torrent mirror
Eyes on the Screen torrent mirror
02/01/2005 08:38 PMCory Doctorow:
Eyes on the Screen is an amazing Downhill Battle project that we
blogged earlier. The idea is to get people to download the
seminal documentary Eyes on the Prize, which chronicles the American
civil rights movement. It's a Black History Month perrennial, but
because of the prohibitive cost of clearing the copyrights to the
archival footage used in the series. Once the series has been
downloaded, you'd be encouraged to host a screening party for your
friends and neighbors on February 8th, and ensure that the vital
messages of this documentary don't fade away due to outmoded laws.
The Downhill Battle torrents for Eyes on the Prize have gone away, but
there is still a mirror of them available. Please consider using the
mirror to get your own copies and host a party of your own.
At 8pm on February 8th we will celebrate the struggle and triumph of
the civil rights movement with screenings of Eyes on the Prize Part 1:
Awakenings. Eyes on the Prize is the most renowned civil rights
documentary of all time; for many people, it is how they first learned
about the Civil Rights Movement (more about the film). But this film
has not been available on video or television for the past 10 years
simply because of expired copyright licenses. We cannot allow
copyright red tape to keep this film from the public any longer. So
today we are making digital versions of the film available for
download. Join us in building a new mass audience for this film:
organize or attend a screening in your city, town, school or home on
February 8th.

Torrent for Windows XP Service Pack 2
08/09/2004 04:48 PMMicrosoft needs to distribute its new Win XP Service Pack 2 to 260
million Windows users at 75MB each. Moving a wodge that big to that
many machines is too much even for the biggest software company on the
planet. So the folks at Downhill Battle have seized upon this as an
opportunity to prove the substantial noninfringing uses of P2P by
releasing a .torrent of SP@ (complete with checksum info so that you
can verify that this isn't some malware-riddled trojan, except to the
extent that it is a typical piece of the Windows XP OS). Join the
mesh, shoulder the load, get your medicine -- the 21st Century way.

Outfoxed Torrent (torrentocracy exclusive)
In working with Lawrence Lessig, Robert Greenwald has agreed to
release the interviews within Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on
Journalism under a Creative
Commons non-commercial license (press release). This means that
among the rights now
granted, interviews balancing out the fair journalism of Fox News
can freely be used as anyone sees fit. To see the full movie, you can
purchase the Outfoxed
DVD or check it out in theaters.
Torrentocracy (along with archive.org) has
exclusive initial access to distribute these interviews in their
digital form due to the work undertaken to promote a TV-connected,
public domain, internet based media distribution network. The torrent
file to start your Outfoxed download can be found at http://www.torrentocracy.com/files/torrents/outfoxed_intervie
ws.torrent. For more information on how to use bit torrent
peer-to-peer filesharing to download this, go here. If you were a Torrentocracy
user, you could already be downloading Outfoxed to your
television.
Here's some serious substantial non-infringing
use of P2P. I bought the DVD and watched Outfoxed. Definitely worth
buying the DVD, but being able to download and use the interviews from
the documentary is a great contribution to the commons. It will be
interesting to see how people remix this stuff.

Defense fund for Bit Torrent indexer
Defense fund for Bit Torrent indexer
12/30/2004 02:45 AM
Cory Doctorow:
LokiTorrent is a BitTorrent indexing site -- like the lamented
Suprnova -- that has been threatened with legal action by the MPAA for
telling people where to download torrent files that allow them to
download video and other large data-objects. Unlike some of the other
Torrent indexers that shut down last week, LokiTorrent is mounting a
legal defense. They're trying to raise a legal defense fund of
$30,000, and they've made $11,500 in the first 12 hours.

08/12/2004 11:21 AMRemember SP2Torrent.com? This was the BitTorrent site that was helping
distribute copies of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 (which is so
unweildy and yet so critical and sought-after that MSFT is having a
hard time distributing it effectively) via BitTorrent, a system that
enlists everyone who tries to download a file into distributing it as
well, so that the more popular a file becomes, the easier it is to
download.
Anyway, the site is no longer providing this free service to Windows
users, because the company threatened to sue them if they kept it up.
Lucky MSFT customers, huh?
Microsoft sent DMCA takedown notices to our two webhosts, one of which

to these kinds of legal threats before (see the Grey Tuesday

this site primarily as a demonstration and to that end it's already
been a huge success. SP2torrent.com showed how filesharing technlogy
gives people without budgets or huge servers the power to solve
problems themselves, without waiting for the government or some
corporation to do it for them. For another demonstration that's still
in action, check out p2pcongress.org. If you need Windows XP SP2, you
can download it from Microsoft's inscrutable webpage:
