YO ! B)

Bittorent what is it ? where do I Get it ?

I've downloaded something that says it is bittorent but I don't think it works as it should. I've even dl'ed the new experiment bittorent and that did'nt seem to work either. So Hope you lucky fuckers enjoy downloading X Men 2 cos it looks I won't be seeing yet. :angry: :(

Oh and has anybody got "john Carpenters The Thing"

Bittorent is another p2p client.
It works much differently than kazaa.
It lets you have unlimited download bandwidth depending on who you
download from and will use the same speed to upload to other users who want
same file.

you can get it if u follow links from here (http://www.torrentse.cx)

When you find a torrent link to a file on the internet from the above webpage and others,
all you have to do is click "download" and bittorent will auto startup.

X Men 2 is class, I got the first release the day it was on the net and watched it (about 1.4GB) and now I am gettin the 2nd release (about 1.6GB) this movie is a real bitch, it's made me download so much, I got both releases from Bitorrent it's nice and easy to use, just like IE downloader but better. Only problem is the speed, I've been getting 30 - 40kb and been uploading at 30kb, it should be downloading faster but who cares, it's worth the wait.

Dont worry about that n shortcuts :)) Its in your program files :))

Anyway. When u go to the link sites -- just click d/l and it wil come up automatically, that is u dont do anything but click on the links :)) It fast as hell. i got 600kB/sec on the Daredevil OST the other day!

In most cases no. I've reached speeds exceeding 300 kB/s. However, bittorrent tend to focus on current popular release files, which will usually last a couple of weeks. It's not good for searching older movies or TV shows. You must find websites that list the current files. This one (Click Here (http://www.bittorrentsites.co.nr/))has a pretty big list of websites that offer torrents.

where do u get the version were u can change download otions and stuff??

bit torrent has no download options, the closest u can get is torrentspy, just download the torrent file and open it, then it will start downloading the file, however make sure u have space on your hd, cos it will allocate the space before u download the file, so if u download a 1.4 gig file it will use 1.4 gigs of your harddrive for it, even if u havent started to download,

i hope that makes sense.

U don`t have to start the bitorrent from program files&#33; U just go to one of bitorrent sites and find the movie/game etc. what U want to d/l and just press the download button&#33; Then your bitorrent starts and automatically d/l-s the file&#33; Helpful?

Good post and nice site.

The way BitTorrent works it is actually much better for new things than for old stuff.

Anyone who uses it please leave the files running for as long as possible after you are complete. This is the only way that other people will get the end of their file.

Thanks.

pinen you should read the previous post b4 u post.

I dont noe what you are saying..
... you have the file for x-men 2... but you still need to donwload it?

if you already have it, why do you want to download it?

@m|k0r, you can cancel a download, what you have downloaded will still be on ur hd.
All you need to do is start downloading file again and it will start where you left off.

dlingeverything
05-06-2003, 10:45 PM
ummm 130kb, sounds like that isn&#39;t a movie buddy, i&#39;d delete it right away might be a virus

bittorent isn&#39;t used to open stuff, it is used to download stuff.

No.

You cannot download any faster, unless you can upload faster.

I assume in this that you are not slowing your upload.

If you are then speed that up.

@pinen - that&#39;s the error correction at work. Bit Torrent checks to see that nothing you&#39;ve downloaded is corrupt, and if it is, it will redownload it. However the message will remain about redownloading, so just let it run.

@rizlaman - don&#39;t have that file so I couldn&#39;t say for sure. If it&#39;s a .bin and .cue it is a disc image and needs to be burned to CD or mounted with daemon tools.

rizlaman
05-07-2003, 04:49 PM
It&#39;s bin

05-07-2003, 05:12 PM
go to www.vcdgear.com and get there program then open one of xmen 2 files and extract it. u shud have a .bin and .cue. open vcd gear and load the .cue file and simply click start. it will make the mpeg for you, you will have to do it with disc 2 if there is one.

ok i am a complete n00b to this bittorent stuff, so i woud really appreciate it if someone could answer my questions

I have read the FAQ on the bittorent website and i have also read how to share my files but i am still not sure how to. Apparently i need a tracker first

Where do i get these from, where do i put them, and how do i use them?

In fact, any help on how to set up bittorent to share and receive files would be mighty helpful

thankyou

RGX
05-10-2003, 10:17 AM
ok this is slightly scary, apparently i am uploading at 9kbs, although fuck knows what as i have no idea how to put files available to upload

can someone please help a dumb bittorent n00b?

EDIT: Ok I have worked some stuff out, the trackers are form places like www.torrentse.cx and they are like hashes correct? as in they start up bittorent and start downloading

I also worked out from some faqs how to "seed" files or create them using this little app thing which creates .torrent files.

I also worked out that what i was uploading before was the parts of the files i was already downloading, now i dont want to leech so am i being ok by letting people upload this off me?

Oh yeah, and do some of the other people downloading know something i dont? cause i see them getting speeds of 200kbps and vice city at the mo is going at........4kbps I am using the same tracker as everyone else i think, anybody know why this is going so slow?
