Welcome to UKNova!
2009-03-08 10:31 GMT: It's grim up north....
Or at least: that's the conclusion you'd have to come to if you saw the new Channel 4 drama "Red Riding".
Have you watched it yet? What did you think?

2009-02-25 18:48 GMT: Soaps moved again
We've updated the address of our delay-free ‘dailies’ tracker, used for the daily soaps and news (as well as Sitting Ducks). This should (hopefully!) clear up the problems for our users in the United Arab Emirates with restrictive internet providers. Assuming this works, there will be no further “UAE reseed packs”.
Unfortunately this does mean that the old tracker address (or “announce URL”) for the ‘dailies’ torrents won't work any more. You may get messages in yout BitTorrent client about being “unable to contact tracker” for any old soaps/news torrents you had downloading/uploading before the change. To fix this and carry on using them, you'll need to re-download the .torrent file for each of them from the site, then load it into your client.
Xunlei: banned
Meanwhile, we'd like to remind users of the Xunlei peer-to-peer sharing program to move to a real BitTorrent client. Xunlei does not seed back downloaded files, and makes no attempt to track upload/download statistics accurately. This makes it behave effectively no differently from a cheater client.
Xunlei is not welcome at UKNova and from today the tracker will no longer talk to it. Please use any other client not listed as banned in the FAQ.

2008-05-28 16:05 BST: Thanks, polls
A few mini-features have been added today, as a slightly-belated birthday present for the site!
Thanks button. This is private to the uploader of the file, other users won't see your name when you press it. So if you want to thank the uploader in public you can still add comments below; if you want to thank the uploader but stay hidden, press the button instead.
VIP users (and NovaFriends) can now make their own polls. Use the ‘New poll’ button next to ‘New topic’.
A slight change to the new-posts icon in the forums: if you see a topic marked with the usual ‘new’ star (
), that's a completely new topic. Old topics that now have new posts on them will be marked with the new-replies icon (previously seen on my-posts searches; 
)
