Just one more reason I'm going back to IRC; although, I do wish KAT the best.
(Jul 23, 2016, 07:31 am)imshelp Wrote: KAT refugee here, but of course I also used The Pirate Bay, in fact this was the very first site I torrented on back in 2004 if I can remember back 15 years or so. My username back then was tower redacted info to protect privacy/ mod and I actually got a green (trusted uploader) crown back then... woopeee 
If you go to torrent freak the outlook for KAT coming back is not good, but as well as here there are loads of private tracker sites, where of course you often need an invite and you have to seed to keep your ratio up.
I used to upload loads of 70's and 80's Music Video's but they are all out there now, so now I just upload my entire Karaoke collection once every year starting here in a month or so's time. Not all the private sites are friendly and in fact I have just abandoned a site called AlphaRatio after the mods gave me no help at all over the meaning of torrent name. Err to me the torrent name is the .torrent file made in your bit torrent client before you upload it. On that site you have to name each torrent again in a little box called (wrongly) Torrent Name. It should of course be called torrent description or you have two torrent names, the real one you posted and the text entry box they think is the real one. Confused...? Yes and so was I.
However sites like that are in the minority and it just took seconds for me to find a new private torrent home where they are very nice to me indeed. So welcome fellow KAT users. I hope your torrenting skills improve here, for on KAT I found your average download speeds from myself when I seeded pretty POOR. I was offering 13.8 to 14 megabits per second, most peers on KAT were in the Kilobits range not megabits sigh.. and that was single peers with no one else downloading from me.
Rigmar Radio - Seeding to the World since 2004 Hey, yea I started on irc then when it came above ground, I went straight to thePiratebay too. Haven't been to the forum in ages though. Been so long my old pc had an outdated url. LOL I liked KAT because it subjected me to stuff I would have never given the time of day otherwise... there's a lot of actors and movies that wouldn't be known if it wasn't for this stuff.

Checking in.
Started with TPB but went with KAT after TPB shut down for a while, and liked KATs policies on deleting crap uploads.
Question: does the 'new' version of TPB delete uploads that are infected with malware. Real malware that is, not the false positives in keygens and patches.
(I normally test those anyway in a sandbox, but havent had the time to check the latest TPB downloads....)

TPB has always deleted uploads that are infected with malware.

Hey customcakes! Good to see you here. I didn't think I'd find any fellow knitters & crocheters from KAT after it went down.

Have to admit after a few weeks when TPB went down at the end of 2014, I thought they were gone but they come back.
TPB still remains and now we will find out if KAT had any back up plans and see if they can make a comeback or not, either way all that matters is TPB still sails
I for one am glad I can still board this ship

You will be interested in this then https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-DAZ-3D-...on-Project
You used the phrase "yarrr matey" so I suspect (and hope) this warning isn't necessary but please be aware that some of your fellow refugees have suffered an allergic reaction to the language we use here--it's not the English you're used to at KAT, it's...earthier. You will understand when you read the thread. Try not to let thin skin get in the way of rebuilding the Daz/Poser community.

Thank you for giving us a place to shelter from the fallout, Sid.

No trouble at all, Don, absolutely none. If you're into file sharing, as we all are, you're into sharing. I've never had any time for parochialists. On the contrary, I think if you're not active on multiple sites you're really missing the point.
Good to have you aboard. Hope KAT returns soon. Hope you carry on here even when it does.
