  • Track How Many Downloads a Torrent Has Gotten Open and Working Torrent Tracker List for 2020 – Increase Your Download Speeds
    track how many downloads a torrent has gotten Open and working torrent tracker list for 2020 – Increase your download speeds. Another year, another torrent tracker list on my website. In this article, you will once again find the a fresh list of open trackers that are fully working. The general advantage of (manually) adding torrent trackers to your downloads is increase the download speed, because you are potentially connected to more seeds and peers. What is a torrent tracker? A torrent tracker is actually some kind of server. That server is connected to the internet and keeps track of which persons are currently ‘connected’ to a given torrent file: the seeds and the peers. Both a seed and a peer will help you – potentially – gain a higher download speed. Here is a brief explanation of the difference between both: The peers: the people who have not yet have all the full files, so they are both downloading the file(s) and uploading to other peers. The BitTorrent protocol is not for nothing called a ‘P2P’ (Peer to Peer°) communication protocol. The seeds: the seeds already have all the files fully available and are no longer downloading. The main task of the seed is to upload to the peers. A torrent tracker helps you discover these peers and seeds. What are the benefits of adding more torrent trackers? So given a torrent tracker keeps track of who is uploading and downloading that particular torrent, it can be interesting for you to be connected to a whole bunch of torrent trackers. Because more torrent trackers may give you a wider audience of peers and seeds who can upload the file(s) to you: and this will give you a speed advantage compared to when you are connected to a low number of peers/seed.

  • Technical Report: an Estimate of Infringing Use of the Internet
    Technical report: An Estimate of Infringing Use of the Internet January 2011 Version 1.8 Envisional Ltd, Betjeman House, 104 Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 1LQ Telephone: +44 1223 372 400 www.envisional.com [email protected] Envisional: Internet bandwidth usage estimation 2 1 Introduction Envisional was commissioned by NBC Universal to analyse bandwidth usage across the internet with the specific aim of assessing how much of that usage infringed upon copyright. This report provides the results of that analysis and is in three main parts. Part A examines the internet arenas most often used for online piracy – peer-to-peer networks (with a specific focus on bittorrent), cyberlockers (file hosting sites such as Rapidshare), and other web-based piracy venues (such as streaming video) – and estimates the proportion of infringing content found on each. Part B is a critical analysis of recent studies from four network equipment and monitoring companies. These companies measured network traffic at multiple (and different) sites worldwide to characterize overall internet usage. Part C combines the data and analysis from Part A and Part B in an attempt to show what proportion of internet traffic represents unauthorised distribution of copyrighted material. 1.1 Executive Summary . Across all areas of the global internet, 23.76% of traffic was estimated to be infringing. This excludes all pornography, the infringing status of which can be difficult to discern. The level of infringing traffic varied between internet venues and was highest in those areas of the internet commonly used for the distribution of pirated material. BitTorrent traffic is estimated to account for 17.9% of all internet traffic.

  • Immediate Classification of IP Flows Using
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NETWORK MANAGEMENT Int. J. Network Mgmt 0000; 00:1–16 Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/nem DNS-Class: Immediate classification of IP flows using DNS Paweł Foremski1∗, Christian Callegari2 and Michele Pagano2 1The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Gliwice, Poland 2 Department of Information Engineering, University of Pisa, Italy SUMMARY In the last years, we have witnessed a tremendous growth of the Internet, especially in terms of the amount of data being transmitted through the networks and new protocols being implemented. This poses a challenge for network administrators, who need adequate traffic classification tools for network management, e.g. to implement Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we employ real traffic traces to assess the usefulness of Domain Name System (DNS) information for traffic classification. We show that by inspecting DNS packets, it is possible to immediately classify a highly significant portion of the traffic. We present DNS-Class: an innovative, fast, and reliable flow-based classifier that on average yields 99.2% of True Positives with <0:1% of False Positives. We argue that DNS-Class represents an important development in the field of traffic classification, and that it can be a major element of a modular traffic classification system.

INTRODUCTION Internet traffic classification—or identification—is the act of matching IP packets to the applications that generated them. It is important for network infrastructures that implement Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.

  • 62091097-Dtecnet-After-Pirate-Bay
    White Paper With Pirate Bay foundering, where have file traders gone? October 2009 Executive Summary After Swedish authorities forced the Internet disconnection of The Pirate Bay, online piracy worldwide dropped substantially on BitTorrent networks as file traders scrambled to find replacement trackers. The shift caused a secondary shutdown among some alternative trackers, which appear to have been temporarily overwhelmed by the unexpected new traffic. But rather than jumping to competing file‐trading protocols, file traders remained on BitTorrent networks. Pirates who are uploading the files are using replacement BitTorrent trackers. Additionally, The Pirate Bay updated their trackers to point to OpenBitTorrent, so content can still be found. Therefore traffic volumes are slowly recovering to previous levels with OpenBitTorrent as a probable Pirate Bay successor, and enforcement target. After Pirate Bay The Pirate Bay has been the world’s most notorious file‐sharing network to date. Its main purpose was to share pirated video, music, games and other content, using the BitTorrent peer‐to‐peer file‐ trading protocol. On Aug. 24, 2009, the Pirate Bay lost its online connection when its Internet service provider, Black Internet, cut off service to avoid Stockholm court fines for helping Pirate Bay infringe on copyrights. The disconnection had an immediate effect on worldwide piracy networks, as Black Internet also hosted nearly all of Pirate Bay’s “tracker” servers, which act as “traffic cops” for people uploading and downloading media files. When the trackers are shut down, BitTorrent programs do not know where to look for files. The impact of the shutdown is strongly obvious in the graph below.

    PROJECT MAELSTROM: FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF THE BITTORRENT-POWERED BROWSER Jason Farina, M-Tahar Kechadi, Mark Scanlon School of Computer Science, University College Dublin, Ireland. [email protected], {tahar.kechadi, mark.scanlon}@ucd.ie ABSTRACT In April 2015, BitTorrent Inc. released their distributed peer-to-peer powered browser, Project Maelstrom, into public beta. The browser facilitates a new alternative website distribution paradigm to the traditional HTTP-based, client-server model. This decentralised web is powered by each of the visitors accessing each Maelstrom hosted website. Each user shares their copy of the website;s source code and multimedia content with new visitors. As a result, a Maelstrom hosted website cannot be taken offline by law enforcement or any other parties. Due to this open distribution model, a number of interesting censorship, security and privacy considerations are raised. This paper explores the application, its protocol, sharing Maelstrom content and its new visitor powered “web-hosting” paradigm.

  • Game of Thrones Torrent Download Pirate ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Was Pirated More Than One Billion Times
    game of thrones torrent download pirate ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Was Pirated More Than One Billion Times. Game of Thrones managed to set three separate ratings record this past season with 10.1 million live viewers, 10.7 million and then a whopping 12.1 million for the season finale. These numbers were made even more impressive by the fact that two of season seven’s episodes were leaked online beforehand. Just think how high those numbers would have reached had viewers not illegally downloaded episodes countless installments. According to Torrent Freak, Game of Thrones was pirated more than one billion (with a b) times this year. “While it’s hard to measure piracy accurately, streaming in particular, piracy tracking outfit MUSO has just released some staggering numbers. According to the company, the latest season was pirated more than a billion times in total. To put this into perspective, this means that on average each episode was pirated 140 million times, compared to 32 million views through legal channels. The vast majority of the pirate ‘views’ came from streaming services (85%), followed by torrents (9%), and direct downloads (6%).” Per the site, the illegal streaming began with huge numbers—more than 90 million people torrented the season premiere—and continued to snowball from there. Season seven concluded more than a week ago and nine of the 15 most popular torrents on The Pirate Bay are Game of Thrones episodes. While it’s hard to translate all of the illegal downloads to viewers, we can safely assume GoT ‘s viewership numbers would have steadily risen had the Euron Greyjoy-like pirates not gotten their hands on the episodes.
