I use to download films all the time. I stopped for a while, but now it sounds like this bit torrent thing can get me going again. I am just looking for DivX's of the latest in-theater movies.. no fakes.. I use to use KazaA but I am remotely queued for days before something starts to d/l at 2.4k... THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY! Can someone be so kind as to set aside a few minutes and breifly tell me how to get started on bit torrent? |

|
forget bit torrent, use emule |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Install . Try these sites for torrents: eMule is old, and quite shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I use a program called to D/L from the torrentlinks I got from torrent sites. I works decently,fast enuff 4 me, but I'm sure there are better ways! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I participate in the which uses edonky and I can't have emule because of some settings wankery. Can't be arsed to change settings back and fourth all the time as I'm thoroughly up DAP's ass.. |

|
|
No. Can you explain it to me please? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you need to put your upload speed a few kb under the max to maximize the download (with edonkey too i believe) |
||||||||

yeah, get azureus, then you gotta find .torrent files (usually through webpages such as the ones horsefactory linked) to begin downloading. you upload to other users as you dowload. the more people are involved in dowloading a file, the faster it goes (usually). it helps if there are lots of people who have the complete file (seeders). it's really not all that complicated once you get going. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a .torrent file is really just a small file that tells your client (azureus in this case) what you're trying to get. it is not the actual file or files, it's just like the address to the files. you get peices of the files from other users who've downloaded them already. |

I am doing torrent now guys, thanks! |
||||||||
|

|
|
just a few days before the whole thing implodes because of a combined MPAA/RIAA bust! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the hardest thing for me to get used to was that you don't use the actual client to search for torrents. |

..my luck Internet's "WTF/LOL Guy" taken in for questioning in wake of massive pirating bust - Mr. Holland, when asked to comment, made the wtf/lol face. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
is there a way to minimze this azerus thing to my non-taskbar area? |
||||||||
|
|

sorry, found it. |

it can also be the most annoying thing - where to find torrents. each site seems to have it's own speciality. a few more sites, besides the ones mentioned by Sam: a special one is which specialises in hard to find, cultlike stuff. they only take new people on invitation though and normally I could invite you, but they've completely closed for the time being because they got warnings from the MPAA too (or at least something like it). they only now take torrents that do not come up in some form of MPAA-index. still a great site though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can never switch it off again. that's the catch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give me an example of some weird cult stuff i can find with bit torrent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I'm actually pretty wary about using bit torrent a lot for piracy type stuff right now. I pretty much only use it for porn nowadays. I think it's only a matter of time before the suits roll out their massive lists of IPs that they've been collecting. |
||||||||

qrter, remember when you gave me an invite to delirum-vault like 27 seconds before they shut down and my login/signup failed, and now i can never ever get in? that was cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? that sucks. :( I asked about the closure about a week ago on the forum - they will be opening again in a while, they said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so can I get episodes of Sledgehammer on here or what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I found both Far Side cartoons at delirium, whole series of Dr. Who, whole series of Louis Theroux, they've got all kinds of arthouse cinema there, lots of asian cinema. they used to have a lot of comics for download, audiobooks, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the hard thing with downloading on the internet - you'll have a hard time to find anything older than 6 to 12 months. beyond that it's almost impossible. which is another reason why something like delirium-vault is a gem. I got the complete series of "Police Squad!" from there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your best bet there is eMule and . |

Delirium is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is your avatar? that thing is crazie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so is there a chance I can tap into this delerium vault stuff sometime? are they going to open back up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still no openings. although there are new members - I guess the mods can get people in. before there was an automatic script that you could use to invite people - they say that it will be back, but with more restrictions. I'll let you know when I can get you in again. |
||||||||

It's a head that's been shot with a shotgun and it's not spouting blood. delirium = the best. Hence my 100gb both ways of transfer :s |
