In which way is Putio similar to Puta other than that they both start with the same three letters? The pronunciation is completely different, Puta is pronounced 'pooh - ta' where as Putio is 'put - eye - oh' or if pronounced by a native spanish person 'pooh - tee - oh' (in which case the 'tee' would be pronounced extremely quickly.) I honestly believe this is a false concern. Source: Lived in Spain for 2 years up unt…

Putio could be pronounced very similarly to "Puto", which is a swear word in Spanish. It can have different meanings depending where you are, but in Mexico it can be used directly as an insult.

Just read below that a comment said "X uses the Put.io API", in my (Spanish) head, it sounds like "X uses the F*ing API" ;-)

I own the putio.com domain and they approached me when they first launched to buy it, presumably to redirect to put.io but maybe because of these rules.

So either they didn't want to pay what you asked or you've got your own plans for putio.com?

I haven't got any plans for it as a website, I use the domain for email. Putio is how my son used to pronounce computer when he was small. I asked what they were offering, it was a token amount and I preferred to keep it.

Good for you ;-) Nice story about your son. I do suspect you might get some mail from put.io if you have a catch-all emailaccount activated.

I love put.io app, and thank you as an avid user! One thing would be nice to know: you mention its open source? {Another thing that would be nice to know is a set of fat rss feeds, but I'll reserve that question for elsewhere.. hint hint }

https://github.com/orta/Puttio/ - I should add a link in the site The app uses a collection of sources of torrents, I've only found the native RSS feeds functionality of Put.IO to be useful for [pod/vid]casts

This is really nice, I hope you know you've won a fan today! :)

So it's a seedbox?

That's what it looks like to me, but other people here seem to be pretty enthusiastic about it. If it's not just a seedbox, ca someone explain it to me?

put.io is the best start-up which I have joined as a customer. Cheap, fast and simple service. Also, put.io accepts free users for 1G. Everybody must try.

do you work for them much?

One thing, they have an upper limit of 25 characters for the password. Sometimes that's ok, but not always a good sign for how they store passwords.

Fixed, sir. All the passwords are hashed and salted, btw. No worries.

Just FYI, on the register pages ( http://put.io/register/BASIC ) you display the SSL Verified seal but the form isn't actually sent via SSL. You might want to fix that.

Thank you for the heads up. Fixed immediately.

Careful with the .io domain, though I've never heard of them shutting down a startup over content, their rules do state: No .IO domain may be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that is sexual or pornographic or that is against the statutory laws of any Nation. The "laws of any Nation" could be a rather onerous clause one hopes never gets called upon. It has happened for .ly domains...

That's some fast turn around you have for fixes, thanks! Now time to change the password.
