What If Bt Suddenly Cease To Exist? What Will You Do? How To Survive?

[FST4LK3R]

So you all wake up one gay day and find out bittorrent is DEAD. :blink:

What now ? What you gotta do to feed your needs ????:naughty:

This thread will be your guide incase something bad and sudden happens to BT COMMUNITY. :yup:

Lets all share our views on what we could do next to SURVIVE.:(

[mysterious]

rapidshare

[birney29]

i would have too go to p2p or learn too do newsgroups but i think u shouldn't have made this thread incase you jynx it :O

[raj3186]

Limewire :P

[FST4LK3R]

LIMEWIRE LOL !!!! :P


Guys we need to find out a ultimate solution be creative and innovate sumthyn.

[blackbird]

irc fserve :D

[dogie]

p2m for bigger files, and warez forums for smaller files

[psxcite]

FTPs like always. Most topsites still use ftps with ratios or leech if you are a courier.

[Saroman]

Shift to Rapidshare...Simple :P

[0Ri0N]

eMule FTW, btw i still use eMule eheh :D

[gtf0]

dc++

[Blackstreet]

Back to Emule

Rapidshare is another choice

Emule and warez 4rum

[ZedZedZed]

DC++ (Private hubs with only scenereleases) :(

[cRaZyzMaN]

ftp's and irc

[dave12]

even if bt goes, p2p is gonno stay so i will use (actually using ares and emule) and rapidshare

[Cheffy]

Well if bittorrent got shut down,we can always go back in time. Like what we did before bT came along. And there are tonns of options. Everything from newsgroups to irc. If they manage to shut it down there will always come something new along.
I still remember the day Napster starting getting powned by RIAA, It was almost the end of the world, No one uses Napster anymore, but all of us still download music..So there will always come new ways for people to p2p.

As for me, i would prolly go back to FTP´s.
Its seems abit easier now as well, with scrips doing everything for you.

[ADELA]

the answer is simple, newsgroups!! to me bt i already dying and unsafe. there will always be a form of p2p, its just finding it and enjoy it before the money hungry corproate bitches close it down!!

[Patriot foreve]

newsgroups,sharing progs (limewire,kazaa),warez forums,FTP's ,i remember doing well b4 bittorrent comes anyway so i doubt it's gonna be aproblem if it ceases besides everything has to come to an end sooner or later

[Saroman]

Emule is kinda way too slow for me :O

So RS is bettter

[fook3d]

Newsgroups, Rapidshare...Whatever else there is.

Im not fussy where i get mine from, But first choices would be the above.

[spark]

rapidshare...

[Demigod]

I would probably look to Newsgroups. They seem like the best alternative.

[AmpeD]

Shift to Rapidshare...Simple :P
yup

[BawA]

no protocol can die, only the methods can.
BT is not a method its an internet protocol, just like original p2p networks, they couldnt be killed only the application installed over them can be killed.
anyway newsgroup is the way to go, am already using it on BT side for large files. its headache free but again you may go seed same files over trackers :frusty:

Ditto.

I started using newsgroups recently too, Along side BT.

[Tokeman]

IRC, Newsgroups, and maybe a private dc++ hub or 2.
I still use the first two now, but BT gets the bulk of my attn. I really like the community feel, you just dont find that elsewhere IMO.

[Tenth]

The great thing about file sharing is that with so many options out there taking down one just forces another to grow and progress.

[d7thsign]

Rapidshare and Usenet

[rexton85]

I use more and more podmailing: it's fast, easy to use and reliable.

[tralalala]

There wouldn't be any need to search for an alternative, the skies would simply fall on earth.. Fact.

[valhala]

:yup: +1

[allied3]

ftp
in fact i use ftp sites now

also BT will never die
only trackers then theres always a new one popping up

[kaffeine]

I'd go out and socialize with real people lol.

(newsgroups would do it for me)

[solaris]

Rapidshare..............!!!

[pullablank]

Now that people are creating rapidshare/megaupload/etc. search engines, it's pretty easy to find most stuff that way.

[gnlstryker]

Well i would not worry at all BT will fall, but i will use Newsgroups and Ed2k instead and wait for a new protocol to replace it like S.E.T. :-D

[Ænima]

I agree; I wouldn't do anything until a new protocal becomes the de facto standard for warez.
Going back to limewire, kazza or emule just isn't going to happen. :sick:

[vobilli]

I'd go back to paying for newsgroups

[ibnahmed]

thanks god
finally i can say bye bye to bt addiction!

[XS75]

/me has enough FTP sites to last a life time

[zorozilka]

agree!

even the shameless Kazaa still alive, although it full of viruses ,fake files and easy to track and hack the client.

[DrLuigi21]

I'd do rapidshare, or maybe even newsgroups

[Herrick]

Although the newsgroup thing intrigues Herrick greatly, I can't see myself paying for something I can get for free. Sure, I have to wait 12 hours or so to get the latest game, but at least I'm not paying for it. I'm not sure what I'd do if BT were no more. Lots of you mangs mention Rapidshare. Is that good for really huuuuge files like new PC Games?

Newsgroups is by far the superior option between the two. Using AltBinz and Newzbin I have 100+ days of content to download* and 200+ days with Giganews, all at max speeds which downloads, fixes, and extracts itself.


* As an example, Newzbin provides approximately 120,000+ posts of content** whilst the average on my private trackers is maybe about 10,000.

** That's new and old content. At max speed. All the time. With no need to upload.

There's no contest really.


Many people have free newsgroup access with their ISP as well and don't pay anything.

I searched on this forum and apparently, my ISP's news server is very crappy for downloads, so I'd probably have to pay for a good one. I'm sure these news groups are great if one download's a lot but I only download a couple of games and some songs a month.

[rovama]

I guess i'd get a Rapidshit acc. I have never used any newsgroups :ermm::blink::wacko:

[sexydingo]

Back to IRC and private ftp's for me. Maybe a nice DC++ hub. Newsgroups is always a good option, even with BitTorrent. Giganews is amazing. Point is, the world wouldn't end ;)

[AugustoP]

Usenet, KAD, Soulseek.

[masterbat]

i will start buying dvd's/mp3 to support the artist and MPAA/RIAA :dabs:

[KSA]

If BT is gone, i would buy the original stuff!

[fifty99]

i use ftp now, and most likely use NGs

[BlackHayate]

Probably move back to IRC and FTP, maybe shell out on usenet if only to see how good it is.

[bonds0097]

I would curl up in the fetal position and cry. Filesharing sucked before BT, in my opinion at least (and I started filesharing with napster back in '98). DCPP is ok though I guess, and certainly more secure.

[sugam]

I have great collection, using emule and soulseek. I have nothing to worry about :)

[Nemrod]

eMule FTW, btw i still use eMule eheh :D


+1 :lol:

[OmaRin0]

Usenet, FTP, Rapidshare ;)

[Shadowfire]

Well, since music is the only thing that I CANNOT live without from BT, I'll just have to deal with Soulseek.




Or cut myself.

[fantasyx72]

ill just go on to newsgroup man

[Defy]

True pirates will never die. :) When one falls there will always be another to take his place.

Having NO internets at all would certainly cause me to shrivel up and die. Having no bittorrent sites... well, I'd probably shed a few tears and then turn to rapidshare/soulseek.

[sebarbu]

Guess i'd have to go back tyo IRC/fServer and FTP but damn.. i'd be very SAD :(

P2P is the best thing on earth so far for me...

[dnero73]

RS/Megaupload Newgroups and IRC

[whiteacid]

Newsgroups and rapidshare :)

[rapesauce10]

TopSites.

[barral01]

emule and rapidshare

[dawsonkm]

It won't die so..
I dunno

[Jiggles]

buy a rapidshare premium acc and join warez-bb.

[yoyogi4]

I'd go back to rapidshare and megaupload, and pray that those sites that went down would at least make a forum and chat room to still interact with.

[fstrulz]

If that ever happens...

...then more sex for me. :D

And I'd also subscribe to Blockbuster and just rip their DVDs.

[LoCo84]

I dont really think bt will ever die.

[man2069us]

Well. I really don't think its possible for BT to completely die. It is only a protocol and has no centralised server. Even if they kept on taking down sites and servers, they can't stop more from coming up. And they can't possibly track all the thousands of trackers.

So the worst that can happen is the big sites go down and we're all dependent on the private ones.

[arkiebrian]

Too many legitimate uses for BT...it won't ever die.

[zo6vetteboy]

There will always be other options besides BT but theres at least a couple more years to go b4 it will be replaced by other means.Theres always newgroups.

[Blackbeard]

i would use rapidshare or newsgroup. :P

[DannyGnXz]

I guess the next logical step would be newsgroups for me...

[aysomc]

if it did magically die somehow i'd probably go see the sun for the first time in my life.

[gnlstryker]

BT is DEAD get over it.

[Gish]

well, since I would never pay for filesharing, newsgroups would be out.
Limewire and IRC
