We're very proud to launch our very own torrent section today here at U2start, a good way to end celebrating our fourth anniversary. Months of hard work and testing preceded this day, and we hope we have it all ready, good enough for all of you.
What is this torrent section, what is new?
In the top menu you can find the "Torrents" link, which will bring you to our torrent pages. On there you can find a good overview of available torrents, and with one mouse click you can search or filter these (for example: torrents you don't have yet) or add other torrents we index (like those from u2torrents.com). Also, on all show pages, if applicable, a torrent tab is added to display available torrents from a particular show.
What kind of stuff is the torrent section meant for?
You can upload and find all kinds of material. We don't restrict you in anything. You can upload DivX-rips of bootleg shows, or shows in MP2/MP3 format. Or full DVD's, HD files, you name it and it's possible. Except of course for official material, there is a list of stuff that's not allowed to share on our torrent page.
Will this replace anything?
No it won't, it's just an addition. Our lossy material will always be free available for anyone from download services, this torrent section is more meant for big stuff that is not easy to upload to a download service. For instance DVD's and lossless material.
What can I expect now?
We will slowly add new torrents the upcoming days/weeks, and will also make use of a dedicated server that will just function as a seed to ensure availability of seeds for popular torrents.
What do you expect of me as a torrent user?
Share, don't only leech. Torrenting's purpose is sharing. You start with 10GB credit. After this the ratio system will kick in to make sure this site can exist. You need to have a ratio of at least 0.4. This means you can roughly download 5 bootlegs for each 2 you've uploaded.
But, since we're in our starting period, ratio is not important yet, this will effect once everything works fine in our opinion.
How can I contribute?
Download! Share your passion, upload new material, contribute by visiting. Contribute by being a U2 fan! 
If you have any questions, please post them in this topic. We're glad to help you out, but before, please read our help and info pages in the torrent section. Also the rules are important.
Last but not least, special thanks to Risto, who has put a lot of effort into making this happen. Thanks!
Enjoy y'all!

Was some work but it was worth it imo  Hope it all works fine for everyone, Dont hesitate to report any issues!
We'd like to thank all the beta testers (you know who you are ). Since you helped us and the community you'll get some extra 'bytes uploaded' credited so you can start with a nice ratio!
Now dont forget to seed now! We are counting on you all!

As I said before, I like it. So thanks for the work and making it available to everyone who wants to get a dvd or lossless recording without having a rapidshare account. I'll remember the torrent section whenever I might have something worth sharing for sure.

This will be especially good for DVD bootlegs, actual DVD files. Good stuff.

Brilliant. I'm going to use this feature especially for the DVDs because if I had to do it from Rapidshare, it would take days. Thanks Remy and Chris for all your hard work on this!

Could one use this torrent feature in order to get original mts files from someone in order to use this for multicams, or are such kind of files not allowed?

Sure, no problem. MTS files of concerts are useful additions I think.
