Content Distribution + site enhancements
Hi there,
We're very excited to announce the immediate availability of a new service on Mininova: Content Distribution (CD). In the past months, we developed a distribution service which we think will rock the world :D
The reason we developed this service is that we're used getting quite some emails from (mainly indie) content producers. Many of those are interested in publishing their content on Mininova, but that's not an easy job. Most content producers have no technical knowledge of P2P and BitTorrent at all. We're changing this with the introduction of CD.
Using Mininova CD, producers can upload their content once to Mininova with literally a single click. We convert their uploads to dot-torrent files and seed the content from our seed servers. This content will be shown as "Featured torrents" on the front-page. The best part: the service is 100% free :)
To give you a better idea of the process, here are some screenshots showing the service:
Quite some content producers already applied for CD, among others Red Band, Wil Deynes and Cruxy. BitTorrent Inc. also joined the party, they will distribute free games (and later movies) on Mininova.
Content producers reading this are invited to apply for an account at http://www.mininova.org/distribution.
But CD is not the only thing we worked on the past months. We're also introducing some new features and enhancements on the website:
- For uploaders, it's now possible to edit their torrents up to 24 hours after the upload time.
- We added a "thanks" button to the comment page, along of a country flag. Please use this button instead of posting a "thank you" comment.
- Personalized front-page. Under My settings, there's now the option to shuffle (and disable) the categories at the front-page.
- Also several layout changes in order to make the site more usable.
