lol no it's not... you have to go to a website ie torrentspy.com and look for shit you want to download, and then it will give you the correct link to connect and download the file using bit torrent, in most cases its faster... it's really good for downloading movies at dvd quality and whole cd's at cd quality... hope this helps:rasta:

[pabloescobar209]

BitTorrent is the name of a client application for the torrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol created by programmer Bram Cohen. BitTorrent is designed to widely distribute large amounts of data without incurring the corresponding consumption in server and bandwidth resources (and typically, monetary fees attracted as a result of that).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent

I use bitlord to d/l shit from bittorrent sites.....its the best i have used.

But yea bittorrent is generally faster than using other p2p programes like slsk/limewire/bearshare etc etc

useless info for him, he asked how it works, not what is it

[Harvesthetic]

Nooo, download BitComet instead of Azureus. They find the trackers quicker. ;)

www.download.com ====> BitComet ;) have fun

[Az.]

useless info for him, he asked how it works, not what is it

and i said how it works.....through peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution
or did you want me to explain what that is aswell.....
"A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2p


I was simply pointing him in the right direction to find out the infomation he wanted.....hense the link to the website aswell..

and i think you will find it was a bit more relevant than your first post which stated that it isn't like other p2p....when infact once you have the torrent file open on whatever programe you are using it is exactly the same....

[anycraic]

yeah i use utorrent,

i think torrent is better for whole films and albums, limewire is good for movie clips and singles

not that i advocate infringement of copyright laws though

[ibreakthings]

i use azureus and ive downloaded prolly 100 gb worth of stuff in the last year... its great.

www.thepiratebay.org is my favorite torrent site,

and seedler.com is ok too

download some dj samination from there its cool

[Fabolous]

download "AZUREUS" then go to the links nightstar listed. I know Ron does not want people talking about this so that is all i will say.

thats the wrost one you could download, infact 80% of torrent sites would ban you for using that program alone

[Kid Dynamite]

lool its a common mistake. You have to download a client program in order to search for things. Download Bitlord, its easy to use and handles just like any other p2p program.

also use www.torrentz.com scans 5 or 6 torrent sites to get you the best ones.

LOL....nah im just playin dude...(although i do think that that is right!^^^)

sorry...i was pretty stressed before and couldn't be assed with remarks when i was only trying to be helpful...

my knowledge of p2p clients/trackers etc etc is minimal...i dont even know what a router is!....but with the aid of the internet you can find out pretty much anything you want...hense the links to the sites under the quotes above.....i just thought that it might be of use to him....

That doesnt even make sence. The sites that host the torrent files never see which program you are using. You dont know what you are talking about.

[seedbare]

the ''utorrent'' program is only 150kb and once you download that to play what you download you right click on the program in Utorrent click on "open containing folder'' and there you go easiest one out there, and the quickest and best. and doesent tie up your computer and is totally spyware,adware free.

But it gives you no control on the amount of upload bandwidth each file uses. To me programs like this are worthless. I guess itâ??s ok if you only download one file at a time and donâ??t use your internet connection for anything else while you are downloading.

AZUREUS give you total control over the upload speeds of every file you are downloading. I can set one to use 20kb/s and another to use only 5kb/s etc.

[seedbare]

ok thats good to know im on dialup so yes 1 file at a time for now.

[BaseRSX]

ok thats good to know im on dialup so yes 1 file at a time for now.

I am often downloading 10 or more files at once.

[seedbare]

it doesent affect your internet connection at all you can go and chat in yahoo or whatever i notice no difference. Hey you ever try kazaaa? what a horrible program with all kinds of spyware, anyway for my money (and yeah im a cheap bastard) this is ok.

Well that is because you are just chatting or searching but the program you are using basically gives all possible upload speed to the file you are downloading. If you were doing something more significant you would notice that your connection was slow as hell.

And yeah Kazaaa is a completely different file sharing system. It is not torrent based. I will occasionally use eMule for some things but almost never. eMule is a similar P2P as Kazaa.

[bedake]

hehe i am king of file sharing! I run a server for bt purposes, its really not complicating at all, uhm but yea anyone here use usenet? its pretty good, if you cant find something via torrents, try usenet, very nice. http://www.binsearch.info/faq.php#c2

Bittorrent info sites
http://members.chello.nl/~p.wiersema/list.html
http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/romeria/more.htm

Look at this FIRST, i know its out of order but oh well, this will tell you alot about it.
http://zarlwilliam.blogspot.com/2005/12/official-zarl-william-bittorrent-post.html

This is basically all you need in the lines of non private torrent sites. searches just about all the worthy open tracker sites.
http://torrentsearcher.filesharingplace.com/

oink.me.uk = best site for music

Demonoid.com = Great site for warez

Also if you cant find it on bit torrent use IRC
IRC although its been out for a long time its still very useful. If you are like me and listen to underground music IRC is unbeatable, well at least for the punk, cant find barely any of that shit on torrent trackers, and ive tried nearly all of em.


Oh yea, go to portforward.com also, that site will help you configure your router to optimize download speeds

how does having the ability to translate to binary make you respectable? how about translating into HEX? or base 64, or bin or des?

[seedbare]

oh believe me i know my connection is slow as hell, but the thing is, I live out in the middle of nowhere and dsl and broadband isnt even availiable, so its me and my tibetan mastiff and pit bull dogs, and some good tunes,

Man does not live by the speed of his internet connection alone.

[seedbare]

nice info bedake, you have an impressive sum of knowledge.

[pabloescobar209]

because the majority of the people on here don't even know what cisco is... or what a crossover cable is or does, or even wha a WAN, MAN or LAN is

[bedake]

This is the self proclaimed Bit Torrent Bible:

http://www.spzo.cz/The_BitTorrent_Bible_%5Bwww.NewTorrents.info%5D.pd f

Honestly i havent really read all of it, but i've been told there is stuff in it for new and old skool BT users. check it out

One good thing in it: has a nice section about covering your ass from the pirate haters,

AZUREUS give you total control over the upload speeds of every file you are downloading. I can set one to use 20kb/s and another to use only 5kb/s etc.

ok utorrent does give you control over upload speed as well but just High,normal and low but you can set it for each file you are downloading.

Two of my favorite torrent sites: www.isohunt.com and www.mininova.org

HEX:
escaped bytes? %31%32%38%2E%33%34%2E%32%33%34%2E%31%36%00
pure bytes? 3132382E33342E3233342E313600

you can do anything with the internet....its really not hard....i was not trying to impress you....just trying to be helpful....

your right though....i have no idea what any of those things are (hex, lan, wan, cisco, base 64??.)....but i could find out in 2mins....which was my point.

(metropolitan area network) ei city

[lemonboy]

I liked BT more several years ago when you could pull like 300K from every tracker. Now everyone abuses max_upload_rate and doesn't pull their own weight. Joe User doesn't understand that uploading is essential to the process.

Bram Cohen is a sell out though. He's taken money from the MPAA to push BitTorrent development away from the peer-to-peer scene.
