"Demonoid invite generator"? Of course that's BS, so I hope you didn't run it.

I'd have gone for Sandboxie. That program is a blessing - and think I used to try new apps directly on my real install before!

And I think you already know this, but just in case someone reading this doesn't: there aren't any tracker invite/Rapidshare Premium account/etc. generators... and that kind of programs are often up to no good. Never enter your login information on those!

I wanted to try sandboxie too but unfortunately it doesnt work on my W7 x64 system.

Yes anon you are very responsible for adding the last paragraph

[edit]
even if a generator had existed before and having been out in the open it would not take long for Demonoid staff to know this.

For security measures I imagine Demonoid would change their code generating algorithm once in a while. Also if they used random number generators it could be the case they when you as a user 'generate' the invite code you are actually only being allocated a quota of pregenerated numbers.

A demonoid invite code generator is most likely an inside job, disgruntled staff. If it were a hacker im sure they would do more than just steal their invite code generator. And een if the latter refer to 2nd paragraph.

In short since the file "Demonoid invite code generator.rar" was on RS for so long it "must" be fake.

Such generators simply can't exist. Invite codes are only placed on the database once you make a new one. So unless this "hacker" has put his hands on the algorithm and found a way to insert codes in the Demonoid DB (critical vulnerability)...

i still have a rapidshare but im hopeing that soon i will be on more tracks to stop it

**jamesbanned** · 04.04.10, 20:17

i have enough trackers to take care of my needs, thank you very much. i don't spend more money than i have to.

**Uninvited2611** · 06.04.10, 22:59

never pay for it !!!

**tokiodrift1** · 09.04.10, 20:26

99% of the Stuff at RS is Warez.
That means that they're making money with the stuff you could get with other methods.
For the honest user its knda vicious circle where he has to pay and pay...
There is no reason for giving them $$$.

For special purposes there are always ways to do it, like with reconnect-files.

**shawshankraj** · 10.04.10, 04:32

Hmm. never pay for RS..
When i need it i use their free service , i know i's boring but what to do?

a vicious circle? maybe in case one is a heavy downloader (or a heavy consumer) without the ability to find adequate alternative sources or without patience to wait or knowledge to use automated downloaders and so on

personally, the latter is sufficient for my rapidshare needs, even without reconnecting

really? afaik after that really slow period & connection problems some weeks ago it was working quite well a week ago with speeds at about 5 Mbit and standard 15min waiting in between, which is quite decent/acceptable

**anon** · 10.04.10, 18:47

I only got 60kB/s or so last time I tried it, some days ago. Have they increased the speed limit?

**tokiodrift1** · 11.04.10, 07:17

They're increasing the speed in the evening and in the 'Rush Hour' you've only a very limited bandwidth,
but if you want to go fullspeed, you have to pay for a Day/Month/Year Acc.

Overall I would still not recommend such an account, especially because you could never be 100% sure if they're logging or not.

However, if you're interested in a RS-Account there are ways to get such an account without giving your identity (-->Buy via PSC).
