Error 451: There’s Now an HTTP Code for Internet Censorship Increasingly, Internet providers are being instructed by courts to block access to websites. This measure is often applied against copyright infringing sites, but not always with a proper explanation. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) just approved a special HTTP status code for these type of legal demands, Error 451. Domain name blocking has become one of the entertainment industries’ go-to methods for reducing online copyright infringement. Blocking requests from both the music and movie sector are widespread around Europe, with The Pirate Bay has being one of the main targets. At the moment all ISPs use different notifications to show that a website is blocked. In the UK for example, Virgin, BT and Sky all have a custom message, some being more descriptive than others. This issue prompted Tim Bray to suggest a special HTTP status code for legal blockades. He noticed that some ISPs were using the “403 Forbidden” code for a Pirate Bay block, which is not what it was intended for. After a long review process the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has now approved this new HTTP status code. There is no obligation for ISPs or other parties to use the new status. The 451 Unavailable project suggests that ideally it should be used to provide the public with additional details including a copy of the court order. “A really good Error 451 message would tell their customers how to challenge a block, how long the block’s expected to last, where the relevant legal documents are and which legal authority imposed the blocking order,” they write. The 451 Unavailable group says it will encourage ISPs to show 451 errors for legal blockades and it eventually hopes to reduce the scope of widespread blocking. Interestingly, the most recent 451 draft already gives people some suggestions how to bypass court ordered blockades on their own, mentioning VPNs and Tor as possible workarounds. “Note that in many cases clients can still access the denied resource by using technical countermeasures such as a VPN or the Tor network.” While some HTTP errors numbers were arbitrarily chosen, 451 refers to Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 which is about censorship and suppression of information. In general, more openness about court ordered blockades is welcome, especially because the process is too often shrouded in secrecy. That said, the day that the web gets a special HTTP status code for censorship is hardly something to celebrate. Source : Torrentfreak

Hello and Welcome to Bitleechers We have been tweaking the site the past couple of weeks and the target was the Hit and Run System. We wanted to make it more intense and reliable and fair. So as of today if you go to your Profile by clicking on your name in the upper left where your stats are located you will go directly to your account. Scroll down to (Completed Torrents) and click on it to open the list. Next to each torrent if you have any HnRs you will see [HnR][Mark][Remove for 300 Karma Points]. Now you will be able to remove the HnRs by using your own (Karma Points). The old site we referred to it as (zapping) a HnR. I will provide you a link to the Forum Post on how this Hit and Run System works. I advise all of you to read and understand how it works. If you don't know how it works, then please come to irc by clicking on the CHAT tab and an Admin will explain it to you. ] So, as of today I have removed all HnRs associated to all the members listed on the System and enabled downloads. Basically I removed all HnR Warnings and enabled your downloads if you were warned by the HnR System. Some of you plain outright HnR as most of you didn't. When we changed the HnR System the data base still had old HnRs listed. It has been tested and members have come to ask why their downloads are disabled. Today is a new day. So, if your downloads get disabled because you HnR then you will be responsible for either seeding 1:1 or for 48 hours as required OR Donate if you don't have enough Bonus Points to remove them. When you Donate you become a VIP and all your HnRs are removed. You are also get Immunity for the duration of your VIP status. This essentially means if you do HnR you are Immune to the HnR System and it wont charge you for any HnRs. I will be quite honest here. Bitleechers is a torrent site and we expect members to be active as I have stated in my last Announcement. I know there are thousands of other torrent sites out there and most of you probably belong to atleast 2 or 3 sites. But, as a member at Bitleechers you need to be active. Every site has it's own set of Site Rules which we make clear for ALL members to abide by them. If you can't abide by our Rules and be active, Why even be part of this Community ? I know the old site was a Ratioless Tracker and most of you liked that. But, with the new Bitleechers we are now a Ratio Tracker once again as we were when the old site was first brought online. We will remain a Ratio Tracker and aren't looking to change it. We are open for suggestions and you may make them in our Forums. Please let us know what you like and dislike. All I ask is NO DRAMA! If any member causes any drama anywhere on Bitleechers, YOU WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT DISABLED!!! So, please follow all Rules. As per the last Announcement sent to you all, we are still looking for Donations. You all know by now that torrent sites need revenue to cover server bills and to pay coders. This is no secret to any of you. We know Christmas is coming fast, but we also need to cover our bills! If you don't want to see the new Bitleechers succeed then don't Donate and become inactive. If you want Bitleechers to succeed then PLEASE Donate to support us. Thank You for your Support

Hi everyone! To end the year of our 10th anniversary, we proudly announce the new movie search engine. From now on, all uploads on all movie sections will show a box on the top of the thread with a lot of links connecting all movie torrents by year, country, genre, cast, crew and eventual versions or related material. Show/hide the data box on the +/— sign on the upper left corner of the topic. This doesn't mean we don't need you anymore to make nice descriptions on your uploads. The links are there to help the search of related people and content, not to provide exhaustive information. For detailed info, you still have the IMDb link. And we still need you to include it in the description of all your movie uploads. On the movie search page, you can now search movies by title, year, name, country and genre or any combination of the five. To access the search engine, click Movies on the menus. If you spot missing names or other info with possible connections in the tracker, please inform us in a comment on the related topic and it will be added by the staff. To report bugs, suggest improvements or tell us about usability, post bellow in this forum.

Tracker is down for maintenance... We'll be back soon.

Well, it's almost that time Of the year. So for this month, I have run with the Christmas/Family theme. And because I can, I have selected 2 encodes from the same movie group this month These were both HaB encodes submitted by our own imdb. If you are interested in learning to encode, or you think you have encodes which you believe fit the criteria for TCO, check out the following threads: TC Original Encoding Support DVD to x264 Guide (Windows HD to x264 Encoding Guide (Windows) For further encoding help, we also have an encoder's support forum, as well as an IRC channel: #tc.encoders on our IRC network.

As soon as we have enough donations to get the domain we will post it in the news. Thank you all for your patience and support.
