Top 10 Most Popular Torrent Sites of 2007

Link original: http://torrentfreak.com/10-most-popular-torrent-sites-of-2007-071229/

The list is based on Alexa’s traffic rank, and this data was backed up by reports from quantified sites on quantcast and traffic reports from some of the site admins.

Here is the list, as of December 29, public BitTorrent sites only.

---

1. Mininova

Without a doubt the most visited BitTorrent site. In November, Mininova reached a milestone by entering the list of the 50 most visited websites on the Internet.

Alexa rank: 46

2. IsoHunt

IsoHunt continued to grow this year. In September they were forced to close their trackers to US traffic because of the issues they have with the MPAA, but this had no effect on the visitor count.

Alexa rank: 143

3. The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay has been in the news quite a bit this year and remains not only the most used BitTorrent tracker, but also one of the most visited BitTorrent sites. At the moment they are fighting with IsoHunt for the second place in this list.

Alexa rank: 147

4. Torrentz

Torrentz is the only “torrent site” in the top 10 that doesn’t host .torrent files. Several improvements and new features have been introduced over the past year such as a comment system, private bookmarks and a cleaner layout.

Alexa rank: 160

5. BTjunkie

BTjunkie was one of the fastest risers last year and continued to grow throughout 2007. Last month they were, like many others, forced to leave their ISP (LeaseWeb), but the transition to a new host went smoothly and didn’t result in any downtime.

Alexa rank: 445

6. TorrentSpy

TorrentSpy was the most popular BitTorrent site of 2006, but dropped to sixth place due to legal issues with the MPAA. To ensure the privacy of their users, TorrentSpy decided that it was best to block access to all users from the US, causing their traffic to plunge.

Alexa rank: 461

7. TorrentPortal

Not much news about TorrentPortal this year, but that probably is a good thing. Like most other sites they have grown quite a bit in 2007.

Alexa rank: 481

8. GamesTorrents

It’s quite a surprise to see GamesTorrents in the list of 10 most popular BitTorrent sites of 2007. This Spanish BitTorrent site had a huge dip in traffic earlier this year but managed to secure 8th place.

Alexa rank: 583

9. TorrentReactor

TorrentReactor.net has been around for quite a while, four years to be exact, and is still growing.

Alexa rank: 604

10. BTmon

BTmon was one of the newcomers in 2006, and it is the youngest BitTorrent site in the top 10 this year.

Alexa rank: 673

Honorable Mention: Demonoid

For being one of the most visited BitTorrent sites until they pulled the plug in November.

Determinan en Colombia que descargar música de internet no es delito

El fallo revocó la condena a 24 meses de cárcel.

La Corte Suprema de Justicia de Colombia determinó que descargar música de internet no es un delito si se hace sin ánimo de lucro

Este veredicto revocaba una sentencia condenatoria a un hombre que convertía los discos de vinilo que le daban sus clientes al formato digital.

El fallo de la Corte Suprema señaló que la ley no puede perseguir a los usuarios que, aprovechando las circunstancias, descargan música o contenidos a su alcance ya que en esos casos la persona actúa sin ánimo de obtener beneficio económico con la obra.

La sentencia determinó que en ese caso "resulta imposible afirmar la existencia de una conducta punible" .
"Lo que sanciona el legislador (...) es el acto de reproducir sin autorización previa y expresa del titular de los derechos correspondientes, (...) así como las acciones de transportar, almacenar, conservar, distribuir, importar, vender, ofrecer, adquirir para la venta o distribución o suministrar a cualquier título las reproducciones ilegalmente obtenidas", dice la Corte.

Asimismo, aclara que la sola utilización de un programa de ordenador no lo describe como un hecho castigable por la ley.

El fallo revocó la condena a 24 meses de cárcel y la multa de dos millones de pesos (unos 710 euros) a Guillermo Vélez por pasar al formato MP3 las piezas musicales antiguas que sus clientes le daban.

eDwatch - avi/mpeg preview tool for eDonkey/eMule

eDwatch - avi/mpeg preview tool for eDonkey/eMule (link)
El verdadero creador de esta herramientita, por cierto para bajar el software tienes que tener eDonkey o eMule instalado, ya que el enlace es de este tipo.

eDwatch

eDwatch (link) es una herramienta para eDonkey2000, Overnet y eMule. Su objetivo es previsualizar videos AVI y MPEG incompletos, para ver si lo que estás descargando es lo que esperabas.
La ventaja del eDwatch es que, con la mayoría de las películas de AVI, no necesitas el principio de la película, y que con uan pequeña parte descargada, incluso 5 MB sea suficiente para detectar el codec y la resolución, y ver la película de antemano.
