chris642 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 so whats the use for this? it seems like miltary grade hardware. 350333[/snapback] to download movies theres alot of stuff you can download, i got 155 N64 games and an emulater, like 3 gigs worth. took me 4 days with 4 computers hooked up to my router. my friend who downloaded it only took 1 day with 2 computer hooked up. whats best of all is that it you can stop the download, turn off the computer, and when your ready you can start it right where it was.

XxMeltIcexX Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well, its all based on a two way connection. In other words, your only going to get a fast download if you have a fast upload. Its hard to explain. I have DirecWay Satellite, Great download speeds, terrible upload speeds, thats why it doesn't work too well for me. If you look at your uploads section, its weird, if you dont even have a file, it uploads something, which scares me. It runs at like 24kmbs a sec uplioad and my downloads at the same speed. Friend has cable, downloads at like 100 kb a sec and his upload is 100 kb also... Its wierd, oh well... Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRMit Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Does the eDonkey network work along the same lines? I've been using eMule for quite some time with good results, but haven't tried torrents. Which do ya'll prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 All I know is BitTorrent was designed to cover the users arse. That's why its so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreak Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 bittorrent is NOT safe. i have read a lot of stories about people getting busted. you're uploading as you're downloading so you can get bagged for sharing by the riaa and the mpaa. the mpaa has successfully shut down suprnova and lokitorrent and i believe a few other torrent sites. from what i've read its actually easier to get busted using bt than it is using other p2p programs. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9905022~mode=flat http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentFAQ Q: Is there any way to cloak your IP address while using the torrent program? A: No it's impossible, because clients connected to the torrent need to know the IP address of other peer clients to share and download parts of the torrent from. Q: Since IPs cannot be masked, for the sake of connected up/downloaders, how safe is this model? Are the users who are either uploading to you or downloading from you the only objects that can know your IP? A: Trackers can report your IP even to people who are not downloading from you. Don't use BitTorrent if you don't want people to be able to see what you're downloading, since it is very public. In short, the tracker knows all peer IPs, and gives out a random subset of those to anyone who asks. Given several subsequent tracker requests, it is thus likely that a spying party may be able to retreive most or all of the active peer IPs. http://www.boycott-riaa.com/forums/fsharing/2974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
