Good day Malaysians?
I've wondering if we could start our own Malaysian torrent site?
It's like starting a tracker hosted locally, local people uploading torrent, malaysian leechers and seeders...all gather under one local site.

It is impossible?
Will we able to increase download speed by making a Malaysian hosted torrents?

Advice please...

later tmnut will block it............

Not a very good idea. Lots of trouble with copyright infringement and TM will find ways to block access to your tracker.

We already had a Malaysian tracker like a year or two ago, there were loads of stuffs to download such as movies, music, softwares and hell...even porno. The tracker was made during the time TMnet started throttling people. Since everyone using the tracker is downloading and seeding locally, the speed was pretty fast. It was a big hit back then.
But I think the tracker went down a few times and there were a few replacements and stuff and all... don't know what happened after that since I haven't visited that place for a while. The last time I checked it out it just wasn't as happening as it was before. Not sure if I even have the link anymore.

refer to my sig?

can send me invitation? thx

me too, didnt get any link from ur signature~ sob

BitTorrent sites suspended by Malaysian Government

by Matthew posted on June 30, 2008 12:05 pm




If news reports coming out of Malaysia are to be believed, a number of BitTorrent tracker sites have been closed down by order of the Malaysian government.

ISPs in the country were ordered to suspend the hosting accounts of specific sites by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs under the Copyright Act 1987. This has lead to several torrent sites going offline with little or no warning. ISPs have contacted the sites involved saying they had no choice as the order came directly from the government.

An administrator from a tracker site hosted in Malaysia contacted TorrentFreak.com and said:

Malaysia’s government suddenly forced all torrent websites to shut down today until further notice, a complete surprise to torrent admins and the offshore hosting companies in Malaysia.

Hosting company Shinjuru, who operate in Malaysia, confirmed the suspensions saying:

We can confirm that this is accurate. We had enforcement officers from MDTCA visiting the office to confirm the closure of BitTorrent sites hosted on our network. We will comply to all shut down instructions from the local authorities or agencies with warrants or documents.

It was initially thought the action was part of a wider initiative against piracy by the Malaysian government, but it seems like it is limited to a few key sites. These include Extremebits, Rapthe and Superfundo.

The Rapthe website has been replaced with the following text:

ExtremeBits.org and RapThe.Net were suspended due to pressure from the Malaysian government. We have backups of everything - nothing is lost! Sites have now moved to new servers, and will be back up the 17th of july. Please do not remove torrents etc, we WILL be back up on the 17th! See you then! Enjoy your summer.


Matthew’s Opinion
This kind of action shows you just how quickly services can disappear from the Internet with one decision from the government where they are hosted. An investigation and possible court action will follow, but for the time being the sites are just not there anymore.

I am hoping the ISPs involved received evidence and a warrant for the suspension of the sites. If they were just told to suspend and complied that is wrong. Customers should only have their service affected if legal documents are produced, based on evidence presented to a judge or giving authorities enough to act upon.

Rapthe believe they will be back up in just over 2 weeks. It looks like they are just going to move everything over to a different host and probably in a different country. It makes you wonder how many places are left in the world these sites can move to without suffering pressure and action from local authorities.

Next time do quote your source instead of copying and pasting it directly

Anyhow , it will be hunted down by MCMC. Trust me , they don't want to create a heaven for torrent lovers !

Any smart torrent tracker would host in another country and only allow Malaysian IPs to connect. Nobody will ever bother going after a torrent site hosted in Slovenia that only deals with Malaysian users.

agreed

Offshore hosting is the best choice. One of the best trackers that amazes me is pirate bay. Legal documents are treated into jokes LoL.

got ler

my advice = use google.com , i think still got 2 or 3. Mengsuan used to host 1, but now dunno what happen to it
