[quote name='javeryh']I'd like an answer to this too - I mean if it's not any "safer" than downloading from bittorrent or pirate bay then what is the big deal?[/QUOTE]
i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that unless they (being the riaa or anyone else that wants to get you in trouble) are in on the torrent they can't tell what torrents you are running. so it seems to me that private trackers are inherently safer than public trackers, since only a selected group (those who were invited) can tap into the torrents on a private tracker. plus, there's a really wide range of torrents on the site and the ratio requirements ensure that people will seed what they download.
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']You turned me onto Explosions in the Sky years ago. They're now my favorite band of all time. thank you[/QUOTE]
that's pretty neat that you remember that.
one time a couple of weeks ago, i looked at your last.fm thing, and saw that you had listened to some girl named Pauline Croze, which looked interesting, so i checked her out, and she ended up being really good.
