edit: in minecraft
Step 1: don’t tell the whole internet that you’re trying to create a torrent site.
Just following in the footsteps of the Silk Road’s creator on Stack Overflow. The FBI mentioned the post specifically.
I’m sure op meant to say “in minecraft”
Not trying to be rude, but the fact that you are asking this question demonstrates the fact that you shouldn’t.
If you want to contribute to free and open information, set up a VPN, bind QBitorrent or another FOSS torrenting software to it, and seed as much as you can.
Help digital archivists and data horders if you have the storage.
Spread accurate information on this stuff to help others.
If you really want to help build out the grey and black market infrastructure for data and digital goods, you need to learn advanced infosec and programming skills and that takes a long time and lots of study.
Or you could use Unit3d. Doesnt seem that hard to implement.
It’s the “not getting caught” part that’s difficult.
Oh surely.
ha ha , don’t brag about what your doing , use all aliases , trash email and create a new persona. Use multi-hop VPN’s and proxies from non-extradited countries. STFU. Again STFU
Hello.
I’m very interesting in your ideas.
Do you think you could e-mail me to discuss what you are planning in more details?
My e-mail is john.cena@fbi.gov
Thanks.
Whats the email? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Dupdududuuuup
You can clearly see that the email is @fbi.gov
ssshhhh
Well, for starters you’re already off to a horrible start.
For starters, don’t make a post asking how to make a torrent site on your main account lol
That’s what Ross Ulbricht did and it ended badly
Be Russian.
The end.
But then you’d have a myriad of arguably worse problems.
You should probably call the FBI and ask permission.

If I was going to do it I would only host the site on tor or i2p. I’d only host magnet links with minimal metadata and aim to have the site work without JavaScript. Maybe a small flask application or something to populate the pages using templates. Very basic, light weight and secure.
I would also release a monthly dump of the site to allow it to survive in the event of a takedown .
This way you have a minimal attack surface , you are protected from legal threats as they dont know where or who is hosting and they dont have a hosting provider to send the notices to.
With regular dumps of the site , taking it down becomes futile as there are copies out there in the wild, that can spring up the next day if needed. Its like a diversified seed bank if you will 😉.
You were so obsessed with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.
Make sure to give them your address and phone number number so they can contact you to make sure everything’s running smoothly.
You need to be behind seven proxies.
Good luck!
Step 1: Move to Switzerland. Step 2: torrent site
Probably safer to move to Russia or North Korea.
I don’t think you and I have the same definition of the word “safer.”
Safer for the torrent site. For the people running it, eh, who knows.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Start revolution and overthrow dictator and put myself in as dictator. Build up military and gather nukes under guise of protecting country, but it’s really to protect me from copyright trolls.
Find a fool who’ll do it for you.
I wonder if there could be a torrent site that is decentralized enough that no one really has significant liability for running it, like Bittorrent itself but for the indexing/curation aspect.
Sorry to stop your wondering, but I have an answer: yes. I created a peer-to-peer protocol for scalable, advanced and decentralized search engines. On top of this protocol, I created Admarus, a decentralized search engine for IPFS. If someone published a distributed torrent website on IPFS, it could get indexed on Admarus and could never be banned
Seems like a cool software. I only know a little about IPFS, could that search work to search for individual pages for torrents within such a site? Can IPFS do page updates that aren’t centrally controlled, ie. the initial publisher can’t actually shut it down or dictate what others can put on it?
Yes it allows searching for individual pages. Everyone can publish and index whatever files they want. However, they won’t appear under a domain name without being added by the domain name owner. Domain name are just for humans to read though, they are not required by ipfs and admarus. Nothing prevents you from cloning a website, modifying it, and publishing it under another domain or without a domain. Content published on IPFS is immutable and lives as long as someone has it. That means many revisions of a website can exist at the same time. Domain name are practical because they are made to always point to the latest revision.
No one can dictate what can be indexed. However, ranking takes popularity into account, so that spam and unwanted content doesn’t rank high
I-Is this serious? This is literally what The Pirate Bay is now.
The Pirate Bay is decentralized and not run by any particular people/group? That’s news to me, and kind of hard to believe tbh, can you cite a source?
