My opinion is this:popdrome wrote:Note to all, what are your opinions on this? BTW I really appreciate ferdi's contributions on this site, and thanks to him I found some rare gems! But shouldn't the purpose of this site be, exchange via emule, instead of dll? If not, I have some torrents to share with you and hey while we're at it why not point all of our capture cards to disney.com
There does not seem to be much activity in thelostmovies, though.popdrome wrote:1a - they don't understand eMule; I disagree with you and I think they do. I see new ppl's arrive on usenet (the oldest alternative to WWW I would argue) every day. Just a matter of software clients.
Yes, sharing old stuff or TV movies is safe, but if you mention eMule in German pirate forums, they think you're insane. On the other hand, DDL in Germany is not safe either. The main risk with uloz.to is that they can remove the files any time or make free downloads impossible or get shut down by the authorities, so we must keep our own FLM archive anyway. That's why we require ed2k links to identify the files.popdrome wrote:1b. potential users are under legal jeopardy. I know what's going on in Germany, I'd be more worried if we'd be torrenting Game of Thrones actually instead of sharing a 1990's TV film that no one cared to record. IOW, the subject matter we love kind of holds us in safety (unless, here's my point, you put your files on DLL like uloz.to) - which risk do you wish to account for?
AFAIK the site is well represented in search engines and 120 members of the old FLM, including most of the major posters, have found their way back. You can see this in the member list. So finding us is generally not a problem.popdrome wrote:2. Agreed. I have no information about said members, do you? Does their absence mean they, as in part of filesharing over internet, they do not trust the emule anymore? Maybe they have found other ways of sharing their passions? How visible is this site? have they managed to follow this site and its content? IOW too many questions unanswered without a connection with uloz.to
Hmm, how about: "Uploading popdrome's releases to DDL sites is not allowed"? Any other members who don't want their releases uploaded?popdrome wrote:4. Please, let's make some!
Good luck with that. I wouldn't upload it but someone would. You can only enforce it by not releasing anything. If it's posted in one place, it'll eventually be everywhere - just ask those girls who shared nude selfies with their (ex-)boyfriends. I appreciate when someone wants to share a release with friends first, but you have to know it will quickly spread far and wide.mimzy wrote:Hmm, how about: "Uploading popdrome's releases to DDL sites is not allowed"?

OK, we cannot effectively prevent uploading, but we can prevent posting DDL links to popdrome's rips. If popdrome doesn't want his releases to be DDL'd for whatever reason, we should respect his wish.Phuzzy4242 wrote:Good luck with that.

haha, I have in fact an app for usenet on my iphone my newsreader isp provides it but you can only use it for searching.mimzy wrote: What's the percentage of Internet users willing/able to use Usenet these days? Probably less than 0.001%. 20 years ago almost everybody who knew Internet was in Usenet. Our university had their own Usenet groups and I participated in Unix flamewars
Are there any Usenet clients for IPhone or Android?
I agree with you.mimzy wrote:DDL in Germany is not safe either.

I did not know that. Me? Well I didn't get marriedmimzy wrote:AFAIK the site is well represented in search engines and 120 members of the old FLM, including most of the major posters, have found their way back. You can see this in the member list. So finding us is generally not a problem.
Members have moved on, got married, etc. You should know yourself why you were absent for several years...
I have nothing against torrents or DDL, I was thinking of all the uloz links in the forum - I remember rapidgator links would be removed for the same reason, I agree though that if it's already been released on emule it's ok to add other links. that's just my thoughts. I don't make the rules here and I agree with Phuzzy that it's pointless to wanna keep control over your files being uploaded elsewhere. I also do not mind what people do with my 'releases', my RIPs however well it would be nice if people give credit, but yeah once it's out it's out.mimzy wrote: Hmm, how about: "Uploading popdrome's releases to DDL sites is not allowed"?

I know right! I am not the admin of the site, I only provided the content (most of it) - but I cannot enter it anymore and I lost contact with my friend TheLost, he doesn't reply to e-mails either. I hope he's OK. Apparently he is still paying to keep it up but I would love to add more content to the site and update it.mimzy wrote:Oh, BTW what is the status of LMA? We have those LMA links in our database, but the site seems to not have been updated for years.
I can live with that policyPhuzzy4242 wrote: eMule is still best for keeping things available long-term and that's why we still use it. I was on UseNet all the time until most ISP's removed the binary groups. I haven't been on it in years. Torrents are mostly faster than eMule but retention is usually as bad as UseNet. Anything else? LimeWire? LOL
I don't have a problem with people posting uloz.to and other torrents in addition to the regular eMule releases. If it's already a [REL]ease, people have a choice how they want to receive it. If not, usually someone downloads it from the torrent and then [REL]eases it so the eMule-only people get it too. It'd be a shame to restrict one or the other.
