Here’s a ridiculously easy tip to squeeze out as many users as you can on a dead or dying torrent. It’s particularly handy when a torrent stops near the end, and/or the seed count is listed as zero. Having said that, I’ve also noticed that it helps to increase download speeds healthy torrents, as well.

NOTE: Do not attempt this trick with private torrents - it’ll only get you banned the tracker. Use this tip with torrents you find at mininova, thepiratebay, etc.

Introduction to IRC

One thing we can tell you is this: This is it all begins. Every movie, every program and every game - it all originated from IRC first - and then trickled down to the torrent sites, to P2P, and to the newsgroups. A pioneer of file sharing, IRC is still at the heart of ‘the scene’. And still the best place to get the newest pirated releases.
