Hi all!
We received quite some complaints from users lately that the site was very slow. In order to fix this we just placed an extra search server and upgraded an existing webserver (apparently, one of its hard drives died, so read/write operations were very slow).
As a result, everything should run smoother than ever now! In the case that you spot some bugs or performance issues, please let us know.
Cya!
Update Oct 2: We added 2G RAM to one of the search servers, this should improve the overall site performance.
Hi
Excellent site, visit you atleast once a day. I have noticed lately a difficulty in establishing connection with your site, but I hope this is just a temporary measure as I would hate to loose you. Keep up the good work
Kind regards
Frank
Thanks - and for the good work in general
Yeah, the site was very slow, but glad you guys fixed it! What would the world be without mininova^^
Yes, ineed thanks for the update. But maby… an update to controle the Spam problem maby? Posibly somthing like Demonoid, and the “bad torrent” link?
Great job in general
yey at last i can browse Mininova at Broadband speed(That’s ADSL for you american’s)not dial up(modem)and rightfuly so when your download speed is 8Mb is better now that I can find things straight away instead of having to wait nearly 2 mins to browse at peak times that being cos Mininova gets over 1million hits per hour possibly the biggest public torrent tracker on the web.anyways keep up the good work guys Mininova rules the net.
P.s don’t ever let the copywrite agencies close youd down the net would’nt ever be the same without mininova
@bainey: incase you haven’t noticed, mininova isn’t a public tracker. It’s a dumpsite. (big difference)
Caution! The ERRORSAFE virus is in the website. It appears with at least two styles of download prompts and any response starts it.
yea great job… but whats this virus this above guy is talking bout?
it ’s so many virus
Thanks!
Great, it works outstanding, thanks a million
Site info comes up and then disappears after 5 seconds! Under construction?
good work thanks
great site great job done bye all
ses tous simplement ses parfait
Mininova blockes
15SEP06 | 7:44pm (GMT) - Is the site down?
It would be nice to be able to browse the torrents by sorting by seeds..or date added… it drives me crazy. Main reason I end up going to other sites!
Kyle MacDonald: It is possible - just click the tab/headline
Mininova rules, period
@Kyle MacDonald
Leave if you must you are probably a leecher like 99% of people on here.
If you actually bother to REGISTER and the LOOK AT THE OPTIONS you will find you are able to do this as default everytime you visit and are logged on Mininova. It takes something to get something you know!
why am i being banned?? someone please help me ive sent emails to staff at mininova and NO ONE has replied.
Good work! much better now!
Now it loads within a few seconds instead of a few minutes
Keep it up!
Yeah this site is the best
GREAT work. Yeah, it was a little slow, but like everyone else has said, WE ARE SO HAPPY WE HAVE OUR MININOVA. Hooahh! Thanks for the great work, fellas. You rock.
Great job guys. This just confirms that mininova is the greatest torrent site available.
The forum seems to be down
Tried to register but kept getting “Invalid email”. kwhat is a person suppose to do?
thanks !
Thanks for the update but your F**** #!@&~” ads and spam suck to high heaven. Get rid of them. They are just a pain in the butt and serve no purpose.
Why can’t i download anything?
I find that the site is still running slow righ now I search for something and it takes for ever to show up and none of my cookies are blocked so should have no troubles so whats going on how come when clicking on the site seems to take its time to finish loading and searching?
The DB timeout errors are just too frequent.
If you bothered to read all the comments made by others you would know that mininova is!!! a public tracker(Not a Dumpsite!!) so why not stick to what you know best like P2p I.e Bearshare and Limewire and leave torrent sites to us pro’s P.s all if you have Got AVG anti virus on your PC you shouldnt get any virus of Mininova anyway mininova is usally clean
hello everybody .i first talk to you last time about the nbc tv complaining about loading tv series ect.today im back talking about sony dvd recorer home dvd cinema .model rdrgx7.i have buy my machine 2 years ago and make during that time about 3hundred recording around.now the machine is dead.the recorder priced at 1.300 dollards sugest retail price.when you or i pay arround that much for a machine i would expect a better longivity for it.so sony is not any more the qualite i have always expect from sony product.the reparation of the machine at sony cost 850.00 dollards.whoo baby it is almost the price of the machine.so the point is by no name product i mean not the big brand.at 125.00 or150.00 toshiba for exemple because the longivity of laser inside i think almost al dvd home cinema recorder is about the same.o by the way bleuray machine is sold at almost the same price as my defective recorder so they doit again iam shure that this new format is going to do like betta cassette did fall in the abyss. so thats.it.buy seriously by concient we all deserve respect as customer of there product so long crispa
Amateurs go back to stupid file sharing ! Mininova is a great site and one of the quickest sites to grab a torrent. Also the virus issue, i always say “users ask for viruses, they dont come unsolicited”.
Naughty history test, that all of you should be able to pass
http://www.naughtyamericahistory.com
Just a caution, don’t shoot the messenger! The well documented ErrorSafe virus is in the website. I have to remove some protection to get into Mininova. The super safe Norton Security picks up ErrorSafe, even so, the installer got through.
I’m glad to have Mininova. I’d like to have some improvements but a caution about the presence of a virus doesn’t justify being described as an “amateur” who invites viruses thank you, Nick. Greetings to civilized seeders round the world who share UK manners and tastes!
What’s up with the comment system?
It often says there 3 comments with a torrent but then I can only see 2. (or it says 6 and there are 5) , Always one less.
Some examples:
http://www.mininova.org/com/425084
http://www.mininova.org/com/425043
Site is running great again by the way, good speed!
Exellent job on the upgrade

Thanks for the update but your F**** #!@&~” ads and spam suck to high heaven. Get rid of them. They are just a pain in the butt and serve no purpose.
I ain’t flaming but trying to clarify that the ads are there to pay for their hosting otherwise they will ask for donation everytime [i am sure you allowed to donate but not a requirement :P] or they may shutdown the site so i suggest either get adblock for FireFox to block it out [though try to click once to help em out :D] or try a private site only to realise you can’t be without mininova hehe.
again not trying to start a flame here and thanks for a great site.
Yuu

South Africa [fastest speed is upto 4mb [introduced as trial 01 September 06] with 3GB [includes uploading [384kbps fastest] & downloading] cap LOL

Great, the upgrade seemed to correct the issues. The site is much faster that before.

Good morning I have a big problem with your service it says my acct name does not exist. Someone from your office needs to e-mail real soon or i will dispute credit card charge and contact web officials about this site. I still retain my e-mail conformation as my proof. Thank You
Great to see you are upgrading hardware - do you want any support = donations via paypal or so?
ta
Great SITE!
This is a great site! However, even though I registered I still cannot add any comments. For example the torrent ABBA The Last Video has a word document in it that redirects you to a site that is a (Hollywood Interactive, Inc.) a known spam site according to The Archive Domain Name Spammer at http://www.chsw.com/domainspammer/index-2001-09-01.html
You are doing a Great Job!
Thanks
Mininova the best torrent site….No more!!!
I wish you would remove the pron, i cant recommend this site to people with that there.

Wow - much faster now!
My only issue now is that some of your banner ads play sounds/music which can’t be turned off without closing/moving from your site. This is very annoying when I’m trying to listen to my own music…
Cheers

The site is very fucking slow today. It is very, very, very fustrating to say the least. I love Mininova the most, but I think I’ll go elsewhere if the prob don’t get fixed soon!
hii!! well i have a question i dont know if i need something special to make run the videos cuz they are like error when i want to watch them, so do i need a special program? please answer me!! i really want to know! thanks
Well done with the upgrade, very much improved, but still seeing the occasional SQL errors or taking a while to respond to a search..
Wondering if some of you “good old boys” from the USA might do the world of outlaws sprintcar coverage on Fox and post them Pleasssssssssssssse
Mariela - search for “Codec pack” on the web. these are required for view most of the files downloaded from here.
Cheers mate..or should i say cricky
I still experience issues while loading the page. Sometimes it takes 15 to 20sec. before i can see anything and if the site finally pops up i’ll have to wait another 10 to 20 sec. to load the anoying ads. ;-(
hi all
Dear “Mininova Technical”,
First, Thanks for all the good job your doing. It’s great. I’m in France, and I can watch my favorite american TV shows, thanks to you !!!
However, it seems that you have some trouble with your search engine. For exemple, on your homepage “added today”, on TV Shows, there is the second episode of the 3rd season of Desperate Housewives… (usually, it’s written like this : Desperate Housewives S03E02 HDTV…). And when I use the search engine to find it, it’s not in the list… Same for the new TV show : Six Degrees… only the first episode appear when I’m using your search engine…
I think that the search engine stopped when you placed the extra search server. Before, when something was on the homepage “added today” it was also appearing on the search result when we were using the search engine… I hope I was clear… Thanks again for everything and take care !
—Sam
Sorry guys, the upgrade didn’t work. The site is slllooowwwweerr than ever.

i love this site. it allows me to keep me up to date with all my favorite shows even though i live on the other side of the earth.
I’ve also noticed problems with the search. it seems like it doesn’t pick up any new torrents from the 26th.
Oi gente!
Baixei o jogo “Faces Of War” usando o mininova, e agora preciso saber como instalar, ja que nao tem nenhuma arquivo com terminação .exe (executavel) nos arquivos baixados. quem poder me ajude por favor. Abraços…ate
The search engine is definitely broken, and has been for quite a while. Hopefully you can find a way to fix it!
Brilliant site. Keep up the great work!
work’s fine now,keep up the great………………out
The RSS feed for the TV shows seems to be down…
http://www.mininova.org/rss.xml?cat=8&num=100
yay
WHen I search it won’t come up with results after 9/25/06.
Any ideas?
Great site! Two comments:
1. I wish it was possible to look at a day’s worth of torrents further back than yesterday. Sometimes I miss a day and would love to see what was posted without having to try to guess and search or go to the categories.
2. Old problem that’s re-surfaced. When I click on the little green icon next to a torrent, it takes me to the torrent’s page instead of just d/l the torrent. This used to be an intermittant problem for me, but hasn’t occurred in a long time before today. If you’re already aware of the problem, or the problem is just on my end, I apologize!
Thanks, keep up the great work!

Hi there,
what a great site, i,ve downloaded quite a few albums and software since i was introduced to the site. some worked some aint, but I put thay down to being a thick old brummie.
anyway,I have a large collection of all types of music and would love to put somethink back rather than taking all the time.How can I do this.
Regards Joe
yea , i visit ur site at least once a day , keep up the good work , no complaints at all !!!
Mininova has always remained my fave for torrent sites, not only for movies and occasional software “auditions”, but especially because it is just about the only site I can find classical music. The sorting of new files into their various genres makes it sooo easy to zero in on what I want.
All sites go through periods of technical difficulties, so I believe in leaving the problems to the tech staff and just be patient….. after all, the site is made available $free…. so what “right” do we have to complain?
Just wanted to let the staff at Mininova know that all their work is **greatly** appreciated. You guys (and gals) are the best on the web!! Thanks for everything
Regards,
-=BillyBee=-
i cant seem to start downloading movies at all, i have waited for about two hours once, can you help me???
Can i make a small suggestion, when you display search results - i think you should display them by date added (newest files at the top). It might reduce the number of hits to the database and should speed up the site a little.
Or maybe you could make a client side way to sort the search results, probably harder to implement though.
Awsome website
I make sure i visit several times a day!
Cha’mone
got the following error when trying to load full listing for today - Error in SQL query: Incorrect key file for table ‘tor’; try to repair it
