Might want to try http://www.digitaldistractions.org . It’s not the stuff you’d find on efnet and tvtorrents, but there’s quite a variety.<br />

<p>Yeah, stumbled upon it yesterday. Got some stuff downloading at the moment :-)<br />

<p>The official BitTorrent-client is currently beta testing a trackerless design.</p>
<p>http://www.bittorrent.com/</p>
<p>Lars &#8211; 19 May 2005 &#8211; 13:46</p>
<p>Got some from isohunt.com<br />
Koen &#8211; 19 May 2005 &#8211; 21:33</p>
<p>Same problem here, now i use elitetorrents and torrentspy (only display tv) but nothing good yet.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Briefly (and roughly, since it&#8217;s 2.30 am already) then, my take on today&#8217;s <a title="MT 3.0. Will Six Apart survive the backlash?" href="http://www.sixapart.com/corner/archives/2004/05/its_about_time.shtml">Movable Type 3.0 release</a> and its pricing scheme.</p>
<p>Good software costs money. Well, a lot of the time, anyway. Deal with it. That said&#8230;</p>
<p>Do they EVER need a full time PR person! &#8216;Mena&#8217;s Corner&#8217; did very little to improve communication. The announcement was very abrupt and confusing. They could save themselves so much trouble if they got it together in that department.</p>
<p>So, beta testing had ended? How come we didn&#8217;t know? Hey, I had signed up for beta testing. Never did get in, despite being told everyone would be phased in.</p>
<p>The naming is confusing too. Developer? Huh? It took me a few hours reading comments and threads to find out there will be another version later on for non &#8216;developers&#8217;.</p>
<p>Equally, all the talk about &#8216;commitment to developers&#8217; and other corporate quack meant zilch to me. Dumb user here, what&#8217;s in it for meeeeeeee? (What I got from it all was the impression I should be using TypePad, not MT. But I don&#8217;t wanna!)</p>
<p>How many announcements do you need? A blog entry here, a statement with quotes there. Yet nothing on the Six Apart homepage itself?</p>
<p>I am quite willing to pay. When Six Apart quizzed users on this, I said I&#8217;d pay $100 dollars for a version that had comment registration.</p>
<p>The site I &#8216;needed&#8217; MT 3.0 for (and put on design hold for many months to wait for this release) can just about fit into the 6-author license. Just about. There&#8217;s not much leeway. Still, we could ask users to donate to get the next license up. or I could kick some editors out. Heh.</p>
<p>Since you can only install the free version on one computer, all the other sites I use MT on will have to stick with the 2.6xx version as I simply cannot afford paying for multiple installs. And that&#8217;s ok. (God knows, I can live without comments.)  But I do think the schemes for personal usage at least need to be re-evaluated.</p>
<p>By the way&#8230; Blogger? That redesign/launch was some impressive timing.</p>
<p>Update: Here&#8217;s some other people who say a lot of sensible stuff about MT 3.0 &#8216;developer&#8221;s pricing scheme.</p>
