Just open the torrent, choose a save location and wait! |
||||||||
|
|

will i get banned if i dont share anything? |
||||||||

Nope. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what are seeders and leechers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seeders are the people uploading, leechers are downloading. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok thankyou! yay! now getting grange hill :))))))))))))) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Leechers are you and me, seeders are other people. *shrugs* *doesn't know any more* I just download stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do i pause it if i want to do something else? can i just close it and it will restart on its own? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how many files should i download at once? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can be banned if the site has a policy on banning people with a low ratio (amount downloaded vs amount uploaded). you can find out in the site's faq. in theory, everyone should be giving back as much as they take (1:1 ratio), but of course they do not if they don't have to. |
||||||||

|
|
ooh you are an inquisitive one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you using the basic bittorrent that looks like just a download box or are you using something more elaborate like azureus? if it's the first one, i don't think there's a way to "pause" it. you can press stop and resume it later, but it will have to recheck the files, which could take a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
azureus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can right click the torrent in your list and select "stop" to pause |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
& i used uknova to get the torrent file |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I assume it resumes after you close it down and start it up again. I've not actually rebooted or even closed Azureus down since I installed it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, you just have to use the play and stop buttons. stop should act as pause in that program. az only re-checks automatically if it has been closed down while torrents are in the middle of downloading. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how the fuck did you get into uknova!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uknova is very good. I like it a lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not open for subscription and this pisses me off. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
use my account? I don't use it all that often. |
||||||||

it was when i registered on thursday |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah azuerus is the best i heard and you can decide how much you will share.you most share some but not much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do i share? can i only share what i've already downloaded? does it automatically share parts of the file you are currrently downloading? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just keep the torrents loaded and azureus running --> you're sharing. you can also make your own torrents by using, for example, azureus itself to create a torrent from a movie you have and then uploading that torrent to one of the torrent sites you visit. but the simplest thing is to keep up and running the stuff you have downloaded. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes and you can decide the upload speed in azuerus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll worry about the speed when it starts uploading |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so will it not start to upload until i have a complete file? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha, you're missing the basic idea that makes bittorrent work so well. everyone who is downloading is also uploading. as has been pointed out before, there is the seeder - persons who have the complete file. and there are the leechers, who together make up the swarm. when downloading, you are not only downloading from the seeders but also from other leechers in the swarm who already have bits that you don't. this is why bittorrent can be really fast. so this means that you'll also be uploading to other leechers in your swarm while you yourself are still a leecher (as you can see in Azureus - there's a downloadspeed and next to it your uploadspeed for the torrent). this also means that the more people are downloading/seeding a torrent, the faster it will go for everyone. when you've finished downloading a file, you simply stop downloading and will keep on uploading as long as there are people who are downloading and there are no other files that need to be uploaded more urgently - don't worry, azureus decides this for you (it keeps track of your download/upload ratio for each torrent you have up). |

ok so it works in a similar fashion to emule. but i still have no uploads. thanks for explaining it for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my experience is that you're not constantly uploading - not everyone needs the bits you have all of the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah im only downloading 1 file and its my 1st file |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aww.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think my first file might have been the first episode of "spaced". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
grange hill series 2 episode 11 :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should re-try uknova |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) why that particular episode? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still nothing. :( but their faq says: "There is a 75.000 users limit. When that number is reached we stop accepting new members. Accounts inactive for more than 42 days are automatically deleted, so keep trying. (There is no reservation or queuing system, don't ask for that.)" |

i'm adding another smaller file to see how it affects the overall speed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm also trying to get the first 2 episodes of "survivors" - remember that? well i don't! anyway i saw an advert for it on a blake's 7 video and it looks quite good. some old sci-fi where 90% of the earths population have died and its up to the remaining people to keep the civilisation going etc. just come out on dvd, must be from arounf early 80s. also, remember day of the triffids is out on dvd on monday! :) the cheapest ive seen it at is £9-49 at dvd.co.uk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think emule is coming to the end of its usefulness, there is so much just on uknova it will keep me busy for weeks! :) episide 11 is the first "single" epidoe they had listed, 1-9 come in a big pack altogether and i dont have the space for a 3 GB file! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh shit I forgot about that "day of the triffids" dvd! excellent! does it have any extras? |

AH! but this is where azureus is handy! you can select which files azureus is to download from within a torrent. you open the torrent, then open up details. these details appear in a new tab, and theres a seperate tab that lists the files. you can then right-click on a file and "deselect" it as it were. only thing is, azureus immediately allocates the complete space for the whole torrent, so it's no help at all to you, because it would still take up 3 Gb of space until you had downloaded the episode you'd want. :( |

:( it's also 9.99 at play.com. I just looked at those "survivors" dvd's - never heard of it. looks interesting though, by good old Terry Nation. have you ever seen ? I bought it a while ago - it's quite good. :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
