Just watch your seeding times with TVChaos - you MUST seed back for a mimimum of 48 hours or you'll get a warning. The warnings are system generated and quite evil :D


Speaking of thebox, I found it a bit strange to get a pm from a new member yesterday, who had only just done the 3 posts needed to access the pm system, asking if I could send them an invite. Especially as I'd just seen that thebox was shutting down. Coincidence?

Re: The Box is shutting down
 

Gave up with them earlier this year due to lack of seedings and slow ratio building. Gone to UnoTelly and a WD TV Live box so I can get BBC iPlayer and Netflix. Still not legal, but if the BBC would open up the iPlayer under a subscription, I would pay just as I do for Netflix.
Anything else is via EzTv.

Probably not in 2013. A few years ago before iplayer, 4OD, Netflix etc it was essential but now you can get streming video over the internet and there are plenty of other torrent sites

Re: The Box is shutting down
 

The Box had complete series of most UK TV series dating back to the 70's. The most comprehensive torrent site out there.

Twas like a condensed Almanac of British TV over 5 decades.

Probably a tragic loss from a historical point of view actually.

I built up over 3 years to a ratio of 3 plus... and had 17 invites at one stage.

I'll miss it. It was not as good as UKNova but still a good one-stop shop for UK content - especially older stuff

Re: The Box is shutting down
 

Hmmm I didn't think it was as good, must look closer at UKNova.
