1.1 Petabytes of files on BitTorrent, network issues

Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 10:41 pm

I couldn't access Isohunt from 14 oct till 19 oct.

I'm from Egypt , my ISP is LinkDSL

I also found many people from different parts of the world ( Canada, Australia, England, etc. ) having the same problem and it all started from 14 oct , probably ended around 19 oct with most of them.

Intermittent problems during these dates, though not too bad.

Location: Australia
ISP: Telstra

You really need to make it easier to show feedback.
I have history enabled, but nothing comes up when i load isohunt avoiding url block will get you banned
you should have a list of torrents i've downloaded come up on the main page automatically. and i shouldnt have to go into the torrent page, and click comment to just say "thanks for this torrent" there should just be buttons in the list to add a +1.

If its not such a mission to comment, more people will comment!

thanks for the great search engine

i love isohunt for its comment/+1/flag system, it makes it easy to spot bad torrents. I also like the layout/look of isohunt in general, compared to the other available torrent sites.

Unfortunately piratebay etc seems to have a larger selection of torrents, but hopefully this will change soon (i still use isohunt more anyway).

grats isohunt and keep at it, much respect!

Good suggestion. We are adding +1/-1 links directly beside each Download History torrent on the members page (one right after you login)

Edit: already done. See +1/-1 links on your members page

i reckon it would be better that torrents that are red are removed fromthe lists its obviously bad so why be there to get in your way or have a box on the download so that its good or bad or unknown it could only go away when a good or bad vote is put in unknown because you gotta download and check the file first any bads could be removed after say five bad votes or something

i think this site is the best i feel bad watching it go down the swanny it is the best hub for downloads and i hope it will stay that way

keep up your good work guys i appriciate it as do many others

I think that user validation power should be added to the system (kind of like rep power), with a few levels (1-10?), based on how much content they have rated via comments/flags and how many people agreed with their rating. So say if a reliable user who always rates content right gives it a negative flag the torrent would be rated -8 instead of -1, etc. Possibly display both raw numeric and rated counts? Just something to think about.
