im interested on the principle, not the content. (:-) ) If we have a local torrents search engine, with actual torrents that are local (or at least the first stop for most torrenters locally), it would do us good. so.... Who's up for the challenge?

Interestingly, MCSK actually doesn't care about international stuff (music, movies, videos) just local. Walk into any of those stalls where they burn music, movies, videos, games etc they'll tell you the same.

I agree, local torrents would be a very good idea. It's about time that we
stopped being just consumers media emanating form ideas designed by internet users to help all around the world, and contribute something.
And one of the reasons that websites like mashada.com and nationmedia.co.ke are so popular is that the users can access local content easily.
However, challenges come to mind such as sharing of local media files being illegal (read MCSK, etc)
And for us that are on torrents sites a lot of time, let's make sure that we seed.
My thoughts, Mugo

Hello skunks, I have been toying with this idea and would like someone to tell me if it indeed is true and makes sense.
Most people nowadays are downloading a lot of stuff on torrents, as a result, there is plenty of chunks around . Popular torrents thus have a lot more chunks locally. Now im wondering, if there was a local torrents database, and local trackers, would that ensure popular files locally would be accessed faster ?
