Torrent giant The Pirate Bay has launched an interactive map showing where people are seeding and leeching torrents around the world, with data for every country giving a percentage of users, and how many connections are going through that country.
It’s a Google Maps mash-up, which is already serving up some fascinating data. “In the near future more statistics will be added, such as the type of BitTorrent clients people use, and the average download and upload speeds per region,” claims TorrentFreak, which reported the news.
The Pirate Bay is at it again but this time they are actually offering something useful to its users. The Pirate Bay’s new offering is a ViO converters which reduces AVI, MPEG, MP4, WMV and others videos to 20% of its original size without any reduction in image quality, and claims to do it faster than any other converter.
The ViO converter is currently completely free and pre-configured for popular mobile devices.
Additionally the Pirate Bay are offering an optional toolbar that can be installed. The toolbar is a dynamic video directory guide of all streaming video sites on the net, featuring a tube site ripper, powerful media search engine and one-click access to ViO video converter straight from your browser!
