PHP and MySQL Link/Download Tracker Take 2 (SHTracker)

A few weeks ago I released my PHP and MySQL link/download tracker. Today I release a complete rewrite. Announcing SHTracker!

To see a working example, simply download from the site as it powers the downloads system.

emesene 2 beta is here. MSN works, Jabber works and it is pretty stable. No need for complex hacking of emesene files to run it. Simple drag and drop to install.

Currently sounds are not working and there is no theme at the moment.

Pirate Bay Sinking

After a long a fight The Pirate Bay has finally been sold to the Global Gaming Factory (GGF). This is the end of The Pirate Bay as we know it.

TPB will probably become a paysite and they will have therefore broken there stance on the world of torrents.

Personally i did not use TPB but i liked what they stood for; freedom and sharing and i loved the attitude against anti-piracy groups.

So TPB is now a sinking ship (literally) and the Bittorent world will sadly miss it. By the way things are going Miniova may be the next to fall.

But for now there are many alternatives such as openbittorent or demonoid.

UPDATE: 99% of torrents uploaded after the decision have 0 seeds and 0 leechers.

After reading some comments on TPB wordpress it appears people are having issues with the tracker. Not a good sign.
