Does anybody else use bito torrent? i've heard about private trackers, but that you need to be invited. Does anybody have that capability? Bit torrent rules, but some of these torrents get leached like crazy. THe idea of a private tracker is cool.

I use the utorrent client. I like to get the movies and the odd game or two. Sometimes TV that I don't get or have missed. Never heard of the private trackers though.
Dude I love bittorent. I use BitCommet, or somthin along those lines.
Ive dl'ed in the past 2 days. Super Troopers, Half Baked, and Borat. I love it.
I use bit comet, just the first one I started using so I stuck with it, no problems. I've used utorrent, nothing against that either, both are good.
I think utorrent and bitcomet are actually merging, think the change is in the near future.
Some sites allow you to upload torrents and then keep them private, so you need a password or whatever to d/l the torrent file.
But it kinda defeats the point.
There are some sites out there where they stop you leeching if you don't have some sort of seed/leech ratio.
get a newsreader program like grabit and download off the .alt newsgroups - 10x faster, you don't have to serve back to people, and so much more content
I use Azerius, but not that often, only for dling movies and stuff like that...
can you download platform games sutch as dreamcast, or ps2, then burn them to play on the system?
i have a dreamcast, i love the games, but the most of the stores don't have the games. I want to download games so i can burn them on a disk and play them. I know it can be done cause my buddie made a nes disk with just about evry nintendo game that was ever made.
Yea, it's d/led off a torrent but I'm not quite sure how it works. I have a friend who does it too, he plays NES, and Genesis games off a PS2, but he has to use some special CD to I guess calibrate it, then you put the NES disk in with all the games.
Ya thats how my nes one works too. I want to play regular dreamcast games, cause i can't find them here.Quote:

1st. Private trackers are trackers that require you to register with that site in order to download the content. If you go to mininova.org and find a torrent with p next to the ammount of seeders, it's a private tracker, either register or move on to another torrent.
2nd. You can find movies, and yes console games. I've got around 5 or 6 of my ps2 games from bit torrent. To play dreamcast gamnes, all you need is a bood disk to play backups. As I understand it dreamcast systems can use a boot disk that is home made (you burn it).
PS2 and xbox games can't simply be burnt and played. You will need some "Mod" to play them. The xbox can have games fTP'd to it's HD to play and using a modified dashboard, you can play them. Find a modchip online. The PS2 can play burnt games, but will also need a mod installed to do so. eityher a soldered mod (Magic 3.1, DMS4 etc..), or an external mode for swapping (slidecard, fliptop+ swap magic disks)
Check out forums.afterdawn.com for any questions about modding. Just don't ask any stupid questions obviously about piracy. They used to be picky about that stuff.
