How to be safe on PirateBay

[crazymonkey86056]

Is it illegal

[MsHojat]

@crazymonkey86056 torrenting is not illegal, nor is browsing The Pirate Bay

[redarrowhead2]

or just get anything better than a half assed anti-virus/real-time protection software

[ThisIsOurNetDotCom]

The title is misleading. You should have said "These skulls represent "trusted" sources". it might stop from getting a virus, but it will not keep you safe. You can still get caught downloading.

This is the third time I hear this crappy song today!!! .... GAAAAHHHH!!!! D:<

[TouchedMadness]

Could someone explain to me the difference between using the magnet tool (or whatever it is) and clicking 'get/download file' button.

Thanks in advance

- Pirate Bay N00B.

What does it mean by VIP??

[chalmerz99]

Ewww, you right clicked to copy :\

[U179354]

For anyone wondering the skulls are given with very good reviews. Meaning they don't upload viruses and such.The green ones mean VIP which is the highest you can get. And the pink ones mean trusted. However, don't simply download from trusted and vip members there many other uploaders that don't upload viruses.

[spunkets]

Real simple.

DL AVG free anti-virus software.

If there's anything in a Pirate Bay DL that's a virus (and sometimes there is) you can delete it before opening it.

I just said too much.

[ApparitionFVT]

Awesome song behind the video!!! What is it? And if possible, may I have a copy or can you post please?

[ballader1]

@ApparitionFVT Pirate bay works fine for me.

[MegaChristopher333]

@ballader1 I heard I can get arrested for illegaly downloading games and stuff. now everyone wants to know: "how can I avoid that other people can see that I downloaded stuff and I won't get arrested or getting a virus?"

[ApparitionFVT]

@ballader1 Huh? I'm asking the music being played during the video, what's the name of it? And can you post a link for me or upload it by itself please? I'd like to write some music to it :-)

[YupSsBlAzin17]

what do skulls mean ???

[stanchung69]

TPDBis down or my service provider has blocked it. anyone know a way round it. has the DNS changed?

[thehound120]

@stanchung69 Umm use a proxy website thats all I have man.

[stanchung69]

@thehound120 back online- must have been down for awhile

[thehound120]

@stanchung69 Oh idk

[Hellstromist]

its a good thing i live in the philippines cuz i wont get caught

[filippo333]

uTorrent has been reported to log torrent related information, you should only trust open source software when it comes to downloading torrents.

[ojkrazer]

That will only protect you from virus. The skulls are used to show who are trustet user accounts and have uploaded good content. Try clicking on "peers" in the program you use to download, and you will see the ip addresses of uploaders/downloaders. They can also see your ip address. That is Where the real danger is, because companies can use that to see who downloads their stuff. So dont think you are safe just because of skulls:)

stay safe

[ballader1]

@ojkrazer Anybody can see your IP through anything on the Internet and if they are skilled enough they can trace it back, even from your favourite games site. With that logic if you want to be 100% safe, don't use the Web.

[ojkrazer]

@ballader1 True and true. However my logic wasnt that you should be 100% safe or dont use the web:) My point was that you need to be more safe than just downloading from skulls. Try masking your ip, entering a private tracker or use another persons internet. Nice tut though, and wery nice channel.

[ballader1]

@ojkrazer I totally agree but this tut was for not getting a threat, not about not getting your privacy compromised which is another big section and exceeds Pirate Bay and torrent web sites, it's about the Web. I agree with your points, Thanks!

[TheForsak3nSnip3r]

@ballader1 proxy men hackers cant trace u if ur ip changes every 5 min

[ImAKillZoneFan]

So...what your saying is that if i were to upload something and it was legit an i was a very trustworthy guy you wouldnt download from me!?! Everyone has to start some where!!!!

[ballader1]

@ImAKillZoneFan I understand that, so if you upload good content you will get your skull from a mod guy! Also check the comment there might be good ones without a skull, but I always try to look for skulls. Just put good stuff on PB and that will get you started.

[domtheman22]

@stacklurcher

It means that it won't have viruses on it because it's a trusted uploader

[Stacklucker]

Hey guys,

PLS can anyone tell me what a skull does? I mean, if I would (for example) download Skyrim which was released today, why does a skull protect me? I mean, I still download the full game which is kind of illegel because it costs about 90 $ Can they track down or catch people if you they download torrents with skulls????

THANKS FOR ANSWERS!!!

[adzii1]

what about blue skull?

[AnoOtaku]

@adzii1 They are helpers and therefore safe! ^^

[Tressiensia]

Will do...P.S. I wasn't talking to you so much as the commentors...

[Tressiensia]

Stop saying "virus".....they hardly exist anymore. What you get on most websites are spyware, hijackware, keyloggers, etc. These are collectively referred to as "malware"...they are programs that invade your computer with an outcome that may benifit the creator or owner. "Viruses" are replicating files. They are created for no other purpose than as a prank, or just to see if it can be done. When people who are supposed to be computer savvy keep saying "viruses" its kinda lame.

[ballader1]

@Tressiensia I know that... check me out a little see my vids, this video is for noobs, noob's dont know what a hijacker or an adware is...... (for instances)

[ItsAwYea]

Thanks bro

[ThePspslimhacks1]

im too ung to go in jail im just in high school so im going to stick with btjunkie still anyway

but thanks

[Waertheus]

hmmm... seems legit. (BULLSHIT)

[TheShishky]

thanks man i'll be downloading torrents with skull! :D

[Diggy246]

Thanks!

[KuzKezGaming]

U can see that this guy has a virus, look at the bar to the right (Red Shield)

[ballader1]

@KuzKezGaming That was the original security center icon, notifying me about having User Account Control disabled. With Common sense no virus can get through, trust me. Oh, by the way the Windows Security Center reports the condition of your antivirus software, but it doesn't say whether the software has found a virus or not.

[Jasenko33]

@KuzKezGaming - IDIOT !!!



[Ligtgamer360]

Whats a leecher? 

[liljkid726]

@Ligtgamer360 its means the mount of people that is also downloading that same file

[geekygamer01]

@Ligtgamer360 a leecher is someone who is downloading the file but has not downloaded the file 100% yet

[pakidood]

yo bro what are the names of these tracks??

[fizzy58]

If it has positive feedback am I ok?

[AryanMithra]

What's the difference between a pink and a green skull?

[ballader1]

@AryanMithra the pink skull means it is a trusted user, the green one means VIP, either way if your download has skulls it is 100% safe.

[AryanMithra]

@ballader1 Okay, thanks man!

[1Colorz]

@ballader1 WRONG!!! not 100% safe...the anti piracy got smarter and hack skull accounts to upload their fake crap and track down people...You will see that their is pink or green skull so you decide to download what ever it is and find out it was fake and your ip adress just got trace...READ comments and block your ip adress any way you can

[serj960]

Great Video!

*Liked.

[ballader1]

@serj960 thanks

[serj960]

@ballader1

You're Welcome.

Cheers.

[ballader1]

@serj960 btw it seems to me that ie9 is a lot faster than chrome in most sites. if the beta is so fast then image what the final would look like (i guess it would have an amazing speed)

[serj960]

@ballader1

yeah,same by me,by the way,Camtasia just records the Video.The next one will be safar vs ie9

What browser do you want me to test today or later tomorrow?

Thanks.

[ballader1]

@serj960 i want a vid of Chrome 7 beta vs IE9 beta (in your host please)

[serj960]

@ballader1

Oh,ok

All Right.

[ballader1]

@serj960 :)

[serj960]

@ballader1

Is Chrome 7 out of Beta?

I installed it and says only Version: 7,0 does not say beta

[ballader1]

@serj960 might be... not sure, let me check it out

[ballader1]

@serj960 i don't think it's out of beta

[serj960]

@ballader1

so,is it out of beta?

[ballader1]

@serj960 no

[serj960]

@ballader1

ok
