If you know what the subject means and you want an invite, let me know as I have 2 this month.

I know sometimes you can join without an invite, but if you have been waiting, here's your chance.

this is a bit obtuse. Couldn't you explain a bit more what it is. Is it for all KibKomers, or some secret society? And is the link a safe one?

Butterflyaway is right. If you have an interest in such things then you will know what it is and how rare it is. Why fritter it away on someone who'll take anything free.

Marions.

I found this on the web hope you can understand it.

First of all, it's a bittorrent site, so unless you're used to using your bittorrent client, you won't be able to use the site. Also, as you can tell from the page banner, it's only for stuff of UK origin.

In short, if you have a lot of disk space, and you use the guidelines below, it's a GREAT site that has stuff others don't. However, there are tricks to using this particular site:
1. The rules are super strict. It doesn't matter how diligent you are, they will warn you for a single mistake.
2. The second your ratio drops below 1.0, they stop letting you download torrents. What this means is that if you download a file, you must seed it until other users have downloaded the ENTIRE thing before you can download another. This seems easy, but it isn't. If the torrent you have downloaded has multiple seeders, it can take days (even weeks) to earn back that ratio.
3. Only SOME moderators are nice. If you read the FAQ, it is full of statements like "stop whining and seed," or "if you don't have enough bandwith, just pay for more. We all do," or (to paraphrase) "it's not our problem if you don't have enough disk space to seed something for months and months. Get a new hard drive." They will let you "make up" the ratio credit by donating money to them, but given the site's general attitude, I wouldn't even consider doing that.

That said, if you do want to use the site, follow these guidelines so you don't get into the trouble I did:
1. Check all the files you want for how many seeds they have.
2. Download the ones with the fewest seeds first, then wait to make up your ratio on those before moving on to the others. (I am now in a 4GB hole.)
3. Appeal to the moderators' good nature. I thought they were total jerks until one of them was really nice to me when I got upset about receiving a warning for an honest mistake. So SOME of them are pretty cool and do feel that they're there to help!

Great post Karmels.

I did contribute €10 as I did not want to wait weeks/months for my ratio to improve. I think I got 10GB for €10. That would equate to 4 x 2-hour episodes of Endeavour and the same of Foyle's War and WPC 56, (Standard Definition), all adverts removed!



For the next two weeks, http://www.thebox.bz are allowing FREE downloads for any new uploads. Also all the soaps are free all the time.

I also use "Vuze" as my "client" account.

One invite sent already. Just one left.

Thanks.
