MixtapeTorrent.com News & MixFiend.com Updates - 6/28/06

What's good everyone?

Couple of updates I wanted to post:

-
Music Videos & Bonus DVDs have been removed. We've done this for legal reasons.

-
Hip-Hop News will no longer be posted & the section will be removed. We want to focus 100% on mixtapes so replacing the Hip-Hop news will be the Mixtape News section...where we'll post the latest tape news, rumors & info. Look out for it soon.

-
MixFiend.com's server was upgraded yesterday, we moved up to a beefy dual-processor server to handle the tracker load. So far the place is flying! If you haven't already registered, go there....NOW! :D www.MixFiend.com

ANNOUNCEMENT: Mixtapes are BACK!


What's good MixtapeTorrent.com Members & Guests?

This announcement is to let everyone know what's going on at MixtapeTorrent.com. As many of you already know downloads were disabled 6 days ago on the 18th. This was done because the torrent tracker that hosted the mixtapes shut down.

So what we've done is created our own tracker that will now host the mixtapes. This way no outside influences can affect our mixtape network, we'll have complete control over the tracker so sharing of mixtapes won't be interrupted again. This also allows members to upload their own mixtapes! This will greatly increase the diversity of our mixtape selection.

All of this has led to some changes at MixtapeTorrent.com, here they are in detail:

a) There is now 2 mixtape categories, the Mixtape Directory & Mixtape Torrents . The Mixtape Directory category is a resource for Mixtape cover art, track lists & mixtape descriptions. The Mixtape Torrents category will list the mixtapes that you can download with your BitTorrent client.

b) All DVDs & Music Videos have been removed. The main reason this was done is because we will no longer allow commercial DVDs (such as "Beef", or any DVD that is available for purchase at a retailer). This is to protect us. We're in this for the long run and don't want to risk being shutdown. So for now on the only DVDs allowed at MixtapeTorrent.com will be Bonus DVDs (such as those that come with CDs) or any DVD that isn't commercially available. Music videos are STILL allowed, but we will be starting over in that category.

c) Now on to the new mixtape torrent tracker...the URL is www.MixFiend.com . I've created an uploading guide to show everyone not familiar with creating torrents how to share their mixtapes. It's a step-by-step guide with screenshots to make it super easy, located here: How To UPLOAD

I urge all of our members and guests who are able to share mixtapes to help us break in the new tracker, let's get that place poppin'!

So that's that...it's going to take some time to rebuild and get back to where we were a few weeks ago but once we do we'll have more mixtapes than we've ever had :)

Peace!

Downloads temporarily disabled

MixtapeTorrent.com Members & Guests, Downloads have been temporarily disabled. The tracker that hosted the mixtape torrents has shut down so I've temporarily disabled downloads. I'm working out some kinks with our new tracker, so rest assured that we'll be back to sharing mixtapes in no time. Thanks for your patience

Announcement: Torrent connection issues / Server Migration

If you're having issues connecting to new mixtapes posted here, it's because your BitTorrent program isn't UDP torrent capable. You MUST have a program that is UDP capable or you won't be able to download new mixtapes - I use Azureus and it works GREAT, super fast downloads and you can have a bunch of torrents open at once without slowing down your system, download Azureus here: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

We've been transfered to our new server, some of you may have noticed we lost a few days of posts, but don't worry I re-added the tapes that were taken off and the whole site should be faster than ever. If you experience issues with the site it's because it takes 48 hours for our new DNS records to update around the world. Use the feedback form to report any bugs, thanks!
