This actually looks pretty cool

[B]In a time where torrent sites are being chased by the entertainment industries and despite its dealings with the MPAA and CRIA in court, isoHunt has launched a brand new torrent site. With Hexagon.cc the isoHunt team aims to revolutionize people’s sharing experience.[/B]
For years most torrent sites have shared a similar layout where torrents are listed in several fixed categories designated by the site’s owners. Hexagon.cc opts to do things differently.
“The main difference that sets Hexagon.cc apart from other social file sharing and BitTorrent sites, is everything is centered around groups. Be it file sharing networks or flash video sites, a key piece we found missing is social context,” isoHunt’s founder Gary Fung said.
With Hexagon Fung hopes to bridge this gap by allowing people to start groups where they can share content within a certain niche. These groups help to organize content and allow people to share with others who are interested in the same material, privately or in public.
In addition Hexagon is also aimed at content producers and independent artists who want to promote their content using BitTorrent. For this group Hexagon offers monetization opportunities such as direct “fan” contributions and sharing of advertising revenue.
“We have contacts with game publishers and independent musicians and film makers, who are very interested in creating their own groups where they can directly market their music, videos or games and interact with their fans, and generate sales directly or indirectly,” Fung said.
Hexagon is certainly not your average torrent site and we must admit that it took us a while to fully grasp the new sharing interface. That aside, it is great to see that some people are still innovating and trying to improve the BitTorrent sharing experience.
The isoHunt team is offering 500 invites for TorrentFreak readers who want to give Hexagon a spin, so you can decide for yourself. Update, here are 3000 more invites. And 10.000 extra just in case…[/quote[

I'll stick to Demonoid, but the whole "indie artists using it to share their stuff" bit sounds cool.

That's like a test torrent for the "Lobby" group. Join more groups and look through them and you will see there are more. Obviously there aren't very many yet though as the site is pretty new.

zOMG guys check out this torrent of blurry, drunken pictures of me and farmville gifts :downs:
Although actually, if done well, this could be the torrent-y version of what Geocities was meant to be! I'm intrigued.
I'm going to start an "I actually bought Photoshop" group, and only post torrents of Linux distributions.

Join in!
Awesome, Gravatar!
Also, is this only open to 500 people, or is it fully open now?
Edit:
Went to start a group, found this: "Example: Anime Confederation"

If you were awesome you'd compile the best downloads for garry's mod into some torrents and post them up for us. Would save those of us who haven't played the game in years from bothering the forums asking what is needed to play on popular servers.
Isn't this pretty much what Wuala was when the Wuala thread started up on Facepunch a year or so back?

Wuala also lets you make an svn-style repository to back up your files with on a folder on your computer.
Oh wow I'll be so social with a user at Hexagon and using Flock as my browser. :keke:
This is good. Isohunt is a great torrent site.
joined the group, this seems like a good idea.

I registered thanks to a French site that handed 5500 invitations :smile:
It's cool how they put Creative Commons torrents in the spotlight too
Facetorrentbook.
Looks actually pretty good.
Joined the facepunch group.
Isn't this just like Wuala?
I use IsoHunt all the time :dance: So this looks good I guess
