Is it possible something broke? Seems all downloads stop at 0.x%.

HD full?

Wrong forum thread?

Anyway yea, that's probably the cause. I'll free up some space after class, should be less than an hour.

Edit: Yep, the disk was full. I just purged a bunch of old BluRays and Games.

yeah, wrong thread. LOL. thanks for being alert in this thread, too Wink

True, although you might be surprised, Tor isn't the trickle of bandwidth it was in the past. But the real goal here is not speed, but privacy. A VPN's "no log policy" is all good and well, but there is always the risk, that in some future crack down on filesharing via VPN those businesses will just be run by law enforcement for a while, logging whatever they need to build a massive case against a bunch of people. It might be a small risk, but Coinado is torrenting for the paranoid. ;-)

Considering that it has already been revealed that the NSA is actively looking into Tor (and they have some of their own exit nodes IIRC) - I'd be more inclined to think a seedbox created from scratch on a VPS in a grey jurisdiction would be the best. Next best would be in countries with little need to comply with DCMA (ie. few treaties) such as eastern Europe.

Secondly, it depends on where the VPN's are actually located - can't build a case on evidence that hasn't been legally obtained. You'd need a warrant first to get the logs and no unauthorized surveillance would stand a chance in court.

Via tor? Not the best way to achieve fast downloads...

Bitfetch was a cool service, I used it all the time. Great to see UnTorrent.Me stepping up as a successor!

As there has been a bit of discussion around the various alternatives, allow me to also pitch my service: Coinado provides anonymous remote torrenting via a Tor hidden service. Read the announcement for more details. Cheers!

I finally got the chance to implement payments...

Each user is assigned a secret that gets appended to their url and an associated address and balance. So long as you don't tell anyone your secret your account should be safe. I figured that was better than a username/password scheme, let me know if you guys disagree.

If you didn't bookmark your secret url it is saved in a cookie on your browser for 1 year, unless you turn cookies off or clear them it should reapply itself next time you visit. I recommend making sure you save your secret url though to be safe.

Don't bother brute-forcing secrets to try and access someone else's account there are 5237424972633826992021103514924158643546627273668903663173266188953814074247479 2878132321477214466514414186946040961136147476104734166288853256441430016 possible secrets provided I did my math correctly.

Pricing is 0.005 BTC per GB with 1 confirmation required every account begins with a balance of 500 MB to get started.

I've reached a functional form of a "replacement" as of now and would like some feedback while working on a final version. For the time being downloads are free but subject to change.

https://untorrent.me/

Known issues:

~~Leave the page, download is gone~~Save the link that is provided and you can come back to finish
Add a torrent that has been added already, can't download the zip
Click the add button twice, same as above, can't download the zip

The known issues will be fixed soon^tm, just looking for additional feedback on style, potential pricing, speed of download, etc. while I work.

http://blog.codinghorror.com/version-1-sucks-but-ship-it-anyway/

just tried the service...

there was not enough funds available so I added some when I started the download.

there is now 1 confirmation.

Not sure how many confirmations you'll be waiting for, but don't you think 1 would be sufficient?

I've been busy with school so the system isn't automated yet. I just manually upped the balance.

Thanks for using the service.

Thanks a bunch!

Great service!

https://bitport.io/ they accept bitcoins and do the same job - very slick I think.

Free for 2gb and no https.

I was getting download speeds > 10MB/s when downloading back to me, but the download never finished (it was stopping at random points)

Great, the speed anyway. I only get 1MB/s if I'm lucky. As for the downloads stopping I have not had that issue myself, could you try again with some of the more recent changes to see if it still happens.

Quote from: comboy on January 05, 2015, 06:03:55 AM

magnet urls seems to work in the way that the name gets displayed but they don't seem to download

None of my tests included magnets, however currently it seems to exhibit the behavior you mention but if you click the status link then you can see the progress. Something to work on...

Quote from: comboy on January 05, 2015, 06:03:55 AM

when trying to add some other file after refresh I kept getting "failed to add torrent", maybe you were changing something

Hmm... have not experienced that yet either, does it still occur? If so is it reproducible by a specific torrent or procedure? I might have been making changes and you simply had bad luck Wink

There are now links that can be saved to come back and check the status of a download later

Sorry, got impatient and finally used a private tracker instead. I'm just a tiny little bit eager to see the season premier. Grin

Yea that particular one you had open last, was downloading at 10kbps it had only a handful of peers.

I'll take a look at Monero shortly, currently scrolling through Reddit then going to fix a few issues with the website.

I found why the downloads were stalling on you, looks like you tried to download 4 different versions of broadchurch but they all hung... your latest should have just resumed.

The server has a 1TB drive but the folder where Transmission was saving the torrents was limited to 20GB so it filled up quickly and paused all the torrents.

Do you have a link to the Monero thread? However to start things of I was probably going to only accept bitcoin, unless of course there is enough demand for others.

is the Monero thread. TheKoziTwo is working on releasing his payment gateway (used at Poloniex, etc).
