[edit] Remove Enpornium and AnimeSuki?
The "Prominent sites" section is a bit patchy ..?
- LokiTorrent - is dead whilst notable is no longer current?
- Suprnova.org - is also dead...
- The Pirate Bay - is alive and notable Alexa Ranking 292
- AnimeSuki - Alexa Ranking 2330
- Demonoid - Alexa Ranking 397
- Mininova - Alexa Ranking 143
- isoHunt - Alexa Ranking 306
- TorrentSpy - Alexa Ranking 211
- Empornium - Alexa Ranking 1536
So 2 are dead but notable
5 are alive, well known and popular
and 2 are not very popular (Alexa Rankings below 1500) and are not notable AnimeSuki only has references to itself and to Anime news sites not to any "Reliable Publication" ? Enpornium has no references at all ....? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JasterMereel (talk • contribs) 14:08, 27 June 2007
[edit] Opera
Should we add Opera to these? It is popular as a browser and has a built-in support (ok, at that moment it has really rare options, but for normal users, who doesn't want to install an extra program and have no experiences in the p2p/file-shaaring, it is great) or am i wrong in any point? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.211.230.128 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- no, if we do that we will have to add every single bittorrent program and every web browser that can download torrents--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 22:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- I say we do add every single bittorrent program, or at least the considerably large ones like LimeWire and Opera. For the sake of common knowledge! 145.103.58.211 (talk) 10:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- limewire and frostwire yes, but dont add firefox and other Internet bowsers--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 23:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] LimeWire
Do we really need LimeWire in the list of of BitTorrent clients? It is really a Gnutella client with BitTorrent support tacked on as an afterthought. Removing it for now. Feel free to flame/re-add Redconverse (talk) 20:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dead Sites
Do we want to keep raided/non-operating sites (OiNK, Demonoid etc.) in the box? Some users are removing these and others adding them again and basically this is going to turn into an edit-war if an official community stance is not developed. I propose that either we keep both active and non active sites in the same part of the box or create an extra row for non-active but still very notable sites. I do not think that these sites should be removed as Raids etc. are currently a large part of the BitTorrent community and removing them (to me) makes absolutely no sense. bobbo (talk) 22:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Frostwire
Sorry, but Frostwire is a P2P sharing client and you can access .TORRENT files by finding the URL (mininova, isoHunt, e.t.c). I'm going to add it, but feel free to remove it if I'm wrong. 1bevingtonco (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Clients messed up
I don't know who did it, but now, only BitTorrent Inc. Clients are there, clearly product placement, please revert the other major clients back in the infobox under client for Bittorrent. It was probably done to remove clutter, but seriously, all you have are Bittorent and Bittorrent, kinda promoting one product too much. At least have the Major/notable clients on it. I added some back in from history (didn't see if the links were vandalized though), Add things in or take them out at your will, but please, don't make it Bittorrent (original client) and Bittrorrent (comparison table) again.
