Bit torrent is the next big thing.

[emsley]

hey peeps.

Just got a hole bunch of info from Hairytash.

If you have not used Bittorrent before then you really should give it a try.

If you like to use other P2P programmes like kazza [gotten a lot worse now Fast track movies has gone]

Emule [pants]

And the spyware infested imeash, then bit torrent simplie blows these out of the water.

 

Here are some links you MoFos!

 

http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html

 

A place to get the sofware, and of course some frequntly asked questions for us new comers.

 

After that you just need some links.

 

http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/romeria/b...orrentsites.htm

 

A page full of links to stuff.

 

And a page Hairytash gave to me which includes the brilliant copy of the matrix reloaded.

The more seeds there are the better chance you have of downloading it.

 

Use this site for the frequntly aasked questions and you will be ok.

It also has link to various stuff to.

 

Enjoy.

I DID make a post about this in the request rom section :/

 

OH WELL!

 

Its like my posts are being ignored by u guys

[emsley]

I have been away over a month m8 i would not have seen it.

 

I knew about bit torrent anyway its just at the time kazza was working great so i tried Bittorrent and it seemed to suck balls.

 

But now www.fasttrackmovies.com has gone i dont like kazza very much [kung pow there]

 

I have one download going very well, but the other two are poor.

Eithier way its still faster than kazza.

[hairytash]

I find that the downloads go a lot quicker if you only do 1 at once as you gotta upload too(ie - if u dl 3 items then you get 3 uploads and 1 download - it seems to be the way it allocates the bandwidth),Also I dont know if its intentional in the prog or not but it also seems that if your share rating on your last download was high then you get a better dl rate with your next one (if that makes sense)

Finally Torrent is the best way to get changed mame roms, you can download 1 file that contains all new and changed roms.

[emsley]

Yeah hope it is incentive driven.

 

Getting that film with russel crow "a beautiful mind" that one has been going well.

Matrix reloaded has been very slow sadly.

Oh and i have also started getting spearhead as well.

 

Only have two going at the moment however.

Still its all good so far.

[hairytash]

oh yeah another point to remember is your dl speed increases the longer youre connected apart from the last few percent as only the seeds can help you then.

[emsley]

Indeed i read something like that.

 

I figure its reeling of in to the truth because my downloades have speeded up as its gone along, well they have staid above average.

 

 

So the seeds give us the last bit of information i can see how that works.

 

So the more seeds there is the better chance of finnishing the last part of the download.

 

When we have a finnished file do we keep sharing it?

[hairytash]

you can share as long as you want. Though the figures ive seen recommend a share rating of 1.5 - 2, I usually make sure its 1.5 or that if i close there will still be a couple of seeds. On rare occasions you can actually finish a dl without seeds - check the also seeing "X" copies part.

[emsley]

Yeah i think i would allow it to be shared for a few more hours at the end of the day it could be you trying to get the last part.

 

Lets hope those XX hardly ever happen.
