Look wot I found: Dan Bull – Dear Mandy [an open letter to Lord Mandelson]
An open letter from Dan Bull to Lord Mandelson who is apparently enough trying to ban filesharing in the UK. Bonus: Same style music-videoish open letter to Lilly Allen who made herself many friends with her utterances. Sad lolz after the break.

Private tracker guide part 1: What is a private tracker an why would you want to join one?
Since we all know how lazy pirates are I didn’t want to confront you with a huge wall of text. So I split my ultimate guide to private tracking in three parts. The first one – this part – will cover the advantages of being a member of a private tracker. As well as showing you guys what private trackers are and how they work. The second part is going to be about how to join some of those treasure islands of the internet. The third and final part deals with the issue of staying on the sites and maintaining a good ratio.

I’ve put.io to the test… oh, and we got a few invites to share
First of all I have to thank the put.io guys for providing those precious invites so fast.
I´m glad to say that put.io keept their promises and everything works as advertised. The interface is sleek and easy to understand. The download speed for torrents was about 50-60 Mbit/s per transfer wich is pretty nice. After the download it extracted the files within a few seconds and I was able to stream them without any problems what so ever.
Put.io: The most newest thing of the past few days, ever!
Imagine a giant vacuum cleaner for files from all kinds of sources which lets you stream the previously sucked-in files to any PC or for that matter any device connected to the Internet. Sounds to amazing to be true? Well the folks at Put.io claim to have created just that.
