Digg Repository is Back!

Hooray, nearly 3 years later and Digg Repository is back!

Our blogspot domain was taken over by a malicious hacker, but we finally managed to get it back for whatever reason (no thanks to BlogSpot "Community Support Forum"). Alas, much has changed including Digg dying a slow and ever-present death on the web.

Also it seems Kevin Rose resigned his position on Digg and is now distancing himself from the project as well. Regardless, we'll continue to blog about the ups and downs and highlights we find on Digg..so stay tuned!

Free Seedbox - Download Torrents without Using Your Bandwidth

Image
Continuing in a summer of free stuff, you can get a free seedbox for a limited time. What Are Torrents? If you're not familiar, torrents are a way to share and distribute files without requiring the file to be hosted somewhere. Torrents decentralize the sharing of files by ensuring that files are spread out across a number of computers. This means that if a server goes down, the file can still be downloaded because other users are seamlessly downloading and sharing it with others. What is a Seedbox? A seedbox lets you download torrents remotely, meaning that a remote server downloads the file using bittorrent, and you can easily download it directly from the server once the file is complete.

ZShare Closes and Shuts Down

Image
It appears that one of the last major video and file sharing services, ZShare, has closed down in light of increased pressure over copyright and piracy allegations. The site best known for allowing video streaming of TV shows and other assorted clips, and also allowing users to download the files through a Rapidshare type service, has been inaccessible for approximately three weeks with no sign of coming back online. Many within the community have started turning to alternative hosting services, but no official word has been released from anti-piracy organizations on whether this was part of a targeted attack against the file hosting service.
