Thought we’d fill you in on a monumental newsflash – just in case you haven’t heard, SCC has just now granted free invites to all members (everyone should have received between 1 to 3 invites). The catch is this: they must be used up with…
What used to be a modestly difficult invitation to find, torrenters may have noticed that CHDBits invites have become increasingly prevalent on torrent-invite forums, as well as on tracker forums themselves – all due to CHDBits‘ new promotion. …
What was once a popular hotspot for scene info regarding pred scene releases, DDL-Blog races and an indexer of torrent races – the era of APNet has come to an end. Also known as anotherp2p-net on the IRC circuit, APNet’s owner has cited lack of time coupled with financial issues in relation to the server [...]
BitLite is a brand new online multimedia storage service that comes with a twist: full BitTorrent support. Users are able to upload .torrent files locally or even from a remote torrent URL.

Blame Rogers – they inadvertently cut off my Internet access last week. It’s no secret that anyone in Ontario (and probably anywhere else that Rogers is offered) who subscribes to a [...]
Looking at the calendar, April 1st has come and passed. Interpret the information below however you see fit. FSF received an alarming email tonight, purportedly from the wife of Frylock, "Elizabeth". In it, she explains that Frylock (Etiv.in’s co-sysop & founder) has been arrested in California on a serious drug charge related to marijuana possession. [...]
