Talk:IsoHunt

message: Though the introduction of this article isn't bad, the rest of the article needs a serious rewrite. It looks more like a lot of information was randomly added and quickly categorized afterwards. I propose merging history with legal (or vice versa), removing miscellaneous and technical details. --Nillusius 17:14, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup request 

message: I noticed that the legal section of this topic had it's neutrality disputed, I went over it, and there doesn't seem to be any bias at all. Most of that section simply details the goings-on in regards to their legal battle with the MPAA/RIAA. --Smackdat 03:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: isoHunt may set new and important precedents vis-a-vis Canadian vs. MPAA-driven American litigation (isoHunt.com being based in Richmond, Canada). This is an important article that needs to be expanded.NeoThe1 07:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Agreed!  After reviewing the NPOV myself in detail, I can't find anything particularly unusual about the presentation of this article versus numerous others on Wikipedia - and certainly nothing that exhibits outright bias. Indeed, if there is bias of any kind reflected, it's by those who toss up a flag citing bias because the text doesn't jibe with their own point of view, or express the truth as they see it.  Surely, that's not what the flag is for, is it?  It should be incumbent on flagging the article as non-neutral what elements exactly ellecit the citation. ross613 03:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 Update, Jan. 16, 2007
 Lawyers from our primary ISP decided to pull our plug without any advance notice, as of 14:45 PST. No doubt related to our  
 lawsuit brought by the MPAA, but we don't have more information at this time until people responsible comes to work tomorrow.   
 We will be back in operation once we sort out this mess with our ISP, or we get new hardware ready from our new ISP.
 Sit back and enjoy the rest of the internet in the mean time. While it last.

the fact that it's currently down, shouldn't go under history, but rather a "current status" section created below in the main article... Obrez 05:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

text: i agree, this article needs restyling Asymmetric 15:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Not sure if there's some kind of "standard" observed for discussion of P2P sites yet.  Were someone to undertake the task, perhaps some specific examples or an outline of the presentation would be helpful.  To me "history" refers to anything in the past - including the recent past - if, for no other reason than any other course begs the question "when does the past become 'history'?"  For now, will make edits to the history section which include elements in the recent past, unless the same information is already presented in another section. ross613 03:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Yep, site is down, as if it doesn't exist. Cross your fingers that it's just hardware issues. 63.135.203.225 20:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  down 

message: I added a couple of clean up notices to this article, as I feel much of it could be re-written in a more encyclopedic tone. I'm prepared to have a go at this, soon; perhaps when the 'current event' status no longer applies and it is not so likely to be edited. - penagate [talk|contribs] 13:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've had a bash just now. I condensed all the "online again, offline again" stuff; ironically, the site seems to have gone down just now, so I couldn't add in as many references as I'd like. I did move the MPAA letter to a reference though. - penagate [talk|contribs] 10:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: An expat's view point....
I have been in Dubai since mid November and Isohunt.com (and the bulk of torrent related sites) along with many other sites including Skype, Flickr, Proxy sites and soon Facebook are blocked "Due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates" (http://mashable.com/2007/10/01/facebook-uae/). 
Etisalat the country's only Phone / Internet provider (Monopoly) has its proxy based in California (I believe) and it is through their that they block sites, its a list the grows daily. I have just checked verified-p2p-links.com and it does work for the moment, good to know, but I don't think that will last long. I would like to add that its not word filtering as you are allowed to search through google for torrents etc but you will be very lucky to get onto the site it links too. It would probably help tho if the domain names had no relation to p2p, torrents etc :) 
I can confirm that JAP works here as long as you set it to connect too the mixes through a peer, as the mix ip ranges are blocked. Im lucky that I set-up a proxy server on a vpn before I came here in my home country. This means that I can download torrents as long as I have Utorrent set to update the trackers through the proxy and force encryption on the torrent.
Sometimes it feels like i'm in a communist state with all the censorship, seriously crazy drug laws and complete hypocrisy here.

message: TorrentFreak wrote an article about Gary Fung and his setup at home. Maybe you could include this as "Behind the Scenes" and add some photos of the servers and Gary's desk.

thread_title:  Wikipedia Page had been changed 

message: As of the evening of April 5th, the "isohunt.com" url was redirected to "isohunt.hk/lite". This is a much paired down version of the IsoHunt search engine that does not allow categorization, date filtering, nor capturing or displaying of user comments. There is a disclaimer on the main page that explains that the changes were made in response to the pending  MPAA lawsuit against IsoHunt.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Afarkas (talk • contribs) 13:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
