it's only 1.3km in size - and in the middle of no-where - lol.
Maybe we can share - Hahaha:p
Absolutely! They should build a shared diner and Danes and Canadians can argue over what's best, Danish bacon or Canadian bacon. :p

@cenderius They want it for the strategic value I guess, in terms of sealanes and military presence. There is nothing of value on the island itself. A bit like the Falklands and England vs Argentina back in the day.

MMk. Bump.

Site should be far more stable now.

If you aren't already aware, anyone can apply for uploader status and upload their stuff after a quick check. Just like before. Some of the uploaders here may want to do that if they wish.

(Account Required.)

Unlike the old site, there is some kind of passkey thing going on that appears to be required. Info here -->
This was enabled while I was away and I don't know much about it, other than I had issues with it myself for a bit.

I don't know why exactly that's there, but I can assume that the torrent area is built off a pre existing torrent framework. Likely a simple version of what you might see on private sites or some other public sites. Undoubtedly this will change as time goes on.

Casual Uploaders must adhere to old site rules. -->
If you feel a torrent was deleted incorrectly, ask a Super Mod or the Mod who did it (they'll probably have messaged you with the reason) and it will be looked into. You can also message me here I guess and I'll have a peek. We do have rules for XXX uploaders like you guys, should you want to start, but it's still being worked on. Big thing tho is no RARs. Zip files are fine. Don't ask, that rule was set way before I started, but is enforced rather quickly.

That's all I got for now. This was just a lazy bump attempt. If you have any questions let me know.

I'm not 100% sure on this. Has I never really asked or thought about it much. This only applies to casual uploaders tho, so I assume it's to lessen fakes. .RAR is easy, everyone knows it and it's the default archiving for pretty much everyone, making it ideal for fakes and malware spreading. I might ask about it later tho.

I am curious about the .RAR rule also. Never knew that - I never had an issuse with them on the old site.

Asked.

Basics, I was right. Is a precaution.

RARs were used for less than friendly reasons, sooooo Casual uploaders cannot upload rars. Other archiving/packing is generally fine.

A few(read many) bad eggs ruined that particular form of archiving for everyone.

This does not apply to VUL and above.

I know it can be annoying, but it's a rule that probably won't change. Sorry.

Thanks that clears things up!!!
.7z files should be fine though?
Or is it just the old .ZIP that is recommended?

It was decided a while back that those formats were used the most for infected and harmful fake torrents so KAT crew decided to ban them from anyone except Verified & Elite Uploaders to upload.
New Uploading Policy

Hello everyone!
We got some news for you. First of all due to an overwhelming number of fakes we decided to allow uploading of .RAR and .WMV files only for verified uploaders.

Second - with a heavy heart we decided to forbid uploading for all new users. If you want to upload torrents, you will need to apply.
We understand that this might be an unpopular decision, but our goal has always been keeping KickassTorrents clean and friendly, so we have to restrict the upload feature and keep the people who use it to upload fakes or frauds out of our website.

All users registered before January 31st 2014 have upload rights. Only users registered after this date will have to apply for upload privileges.

Thank you for your understanding and stay tuned for more upcoming features!

:p

.7z, and .zip are fine. As are most other packing methods.

:p
Thanks F95. I just asked another Smod, but that's far more official. :p

Edit - There was/is some vulnerabilities with .RARs as well, that are less than friendly.
