I'd rather commit sepukku than paying a web-service that charges 10$/month to seed for just 2 days until 2 ratio. I'll go with a cheap debian server + apt-get install transmission-cli
... or a hidden raspberry stuffed near a hotspot

Re: Put.io
#152I really dont get this. The use case must be to download copyright protected stuff, otherwise no one would pay for this, but isnt it pretty dangerous to hand all your download history and stuff like that to a 3rd party ?
That opposed to an unlimited Usenet Subscription for $10/mo with SSL encryption and no user traceable data.
Re: Put.io
#153What we could use is a secure cloud like freenet, which: 1) Converts and transcodes files on the client 2) Encrypts them on the client, has diffs and versioning with git 3) Stores encrypted versions in a distributed manner on many servers 4) Uses bitcoins to pay for all the bandwidth, storage 5) Is an autonomous corporation that can't be shut down blabla Maybe in a few years this will exist.
1-3 was done by Wuala and if their history is of any indication, this is an unsustainable model even without added complexity of being fully decentralized, bitcoin-supported community project.
Re: Put.io
#154Interesting proposition, but: "Our servers are in Netherlands" Are they insane? If there's any country hostile to these kinds of services it's the Netherlands. The copyright outfit BREIN is taking down Usenet providers (if they can proof they are willingly providing access to pirated material), Usenet communities and Torrent communities housed in the Netherlands left and right; I can't imagine they would leave someth…
Unless they use cyberbunker (http://www.cyberbunker.com/), but I doubt it.

#155I use http://subliss.com and it works pretty great for videos. They offer free trials through this link: https://subliss.com/users/sign_up
That's my favorite torrent service to download & watch movies directly on ipad (without requiring a NAS or media server to stream it)
Re: Put.io
#156I expect this is a very temporary service.

#157If you live in China, you will find Xunlei(lixian.xunlei.com) and Xuanfeng(lixian.qq.com) all have similar functions.
Re: Put.io
#158I use and love put.io. Completely hassle free. I'd never go back. The killer feature is instant completion of torrents if someone else has already downloaded them. I can be watching a movie 60 seconds after thinking of it.
movies.io integrates great with put.io.
Watch a trailer, click, watch the movie!
Re: Put.io
#159These are the reasons put.io is awesome: - It caches torrents that other people downloaded(popular torrents) so if you add them, they are in your library immediately - You can subscribe to RSS feeds of TV shows from showrss.info without needing to download every show individually - You can install the XBMC app to access you content there - A REST API? Yup! They have it! - It converts videos to MP4 on their cloud - Yo…
You forgot the best reason:
- It links all your downloaded content directly to your credit card, thus incriminating you.Re: Put.io
#160It seems as though the primary use case being discussed and implied is torrenting of media that is not legal (however ethical you feel it may be) to torrent in many countries. Please remember that when you do so, you weaken the case the rest of us have against the same laws you're ignoring, against DRM, against intrusions into our privacy, and against unfair ISP practices.
I'm pretty sure the legality depends on WHAT you're torrenting. Is it illegal to torrent ubuntu anywhere?
Given that they show episodes and screenshots of TV show torrents on the home page, this throws all plausible deniability out the window.
