Which Is Better , Warez or Bit torrent?

[Aeyen]

I don't see the difference of a Warez site and a Torrent site, I mean, they're both illegal, just a few ways different, because torrents seem to be more troublesome because they need to use a client and the shizz.

I don't think Warez wins too, because oftentimes, Warez files are infected so you have to get a good antivirus before deciding to get into a warez site, but I think some fake torrent uploads are infected too right?

But by the speed, Warez is depending on your net connection, if it's slow, then the download will be very slow, while Torrents rely on the people who seed them and who leech.

So tell me, which one do you prefer, Torrents or Warez?

Personally, I'll go for torrents, coz' they're much safer IMO but not really sure.

[Saroman]

I find Warez better :D

I can find all the old stuff too

[Optical]

I prefer torrents, mainly because they are more secure.

[lukee]

I prefer torrents, mainly because they are more secure.

i hate to break it to you, but a privately owned FTP is way more secure than bitorrent in many ways. you cant beat heavy duty encryption :)

[peat moss]

I use both and why not , what one does n't have the other might . I'm even thinking of nzb ,yet to try it . I like the Rapidshare sites for content but hate the split rars and speed .

[heis]

both ways have their advantages and disadvantages
as warez sites are mostly some rapidshare-like uploads, u would need a rs premium account to use it without frustration. just like torrents (private trackers) if you don't have a good home line/can't leave pc for hours of seeding then u should get a seedbox.

[ClodiuS]

Me too...

[panoli]

i like torrents becoz u can stop and cout them wen u want.

[mbucari1]

I'm with peat moss, I go wherever I can find what I want. I check Usenet first, then search for rapidshare links, then private bittorrent sites, and finally public bittorrent sites (hasn't happened in a while).

But for browsing with nothing in mind, I prefer bittorrent.

[Aeyen]

I agree w/ you mbucari1 but searching rapidshare is so hard,when i'm looking for something, my first stop is TPB and then some of the private trackers and last (which I'd preffer not to use but if I have no choice I will use..) LimeWire . Google is good too when you know how to search ;)

[IceTee]

Bit torrent.

I like to have a nice chat while I'm looking for something ;)

[titofat]

I prefer torrent

[Aeyen]

IceTee, how do you chat while looking for something with a bit torrent client, mind teaching me ;) ?

[kloot]

I usually use RS sites, because I can't use torrents with my supercool uni connection. To be honest, on most popular warez boards, I have never found anything malicious packed into any archive. It's usually fairly straightforward, if there is anything malicious anywhere, then someone else has more than likely reported it, or left a comment saying they had problems.

BT is coming in handy for me now on my new server, there isn't the 25gb per 5 days limit that RS has :)

[guliver]

I`m on the torrents side...

[yozshura]

Warez board for ... well, you know warez, torrent for movies and music, DC++ for hard-to-find-mp3s and ebooks.

[teicoplanin]

same ehere! :ermm:

[Sonnentier]

Warez sites usually have slow/overloaded maybe also unreachable servers, or the new trend they do pack content on One-Click-hosters like Rapidshare, outsourcing the hosting business. I think you meant those "direct download" sites publicly available, the so called web-warez pages, which I also meant by writing this. Those sites usually link to each others, and I find them to be a bit spammed, opaque, commercial.

Open Torrent sites like ThePirateBay depend on people seeding, if there are fair fellows than you can usually get the files better- at least if your own upload is not extremely poor to the extreme.

The question is also if you can call using Rapidshare "direct downloading" from "warez sites". There are of course boards containing many useful Rs links, and having an account for their servers you can leech fast. But this phenomena is actually even newer than p2p and something new and different, although most people trying to use 'direct warez servers' in the past shifted over to Rs/Megaupload etc. I would say former warez sites is something different than Rapidshare Boards.

If you don't have a premium account on the hosters to leech off properly, then for bigger multi split file releases I would give torrent a go, although they are not more secure if the 'rogue guys' are swapping in the torrent you download. Anyway this is all a very wide discussion, and it really also depends on your choice.

Good point about the comments , as I always read what others say about quality or problems first . On some RS sites you can tell by a members post count on whither its worth the D/L or not .

[mbucari1]

I agree w/ you mbucari1 but searching rapidshare is so hard,when i'm looking for something, my first stop is TPB and then some of the private trackers and last (which I'd preffer not to use but if I have no choice I will use..) LimeWire . Google is good too when you know how to search ;)Searching for RS stuff isn't too bad. I almost always find what I'm looking for withing 2 google searches. I've learned a few tricks that aid in rapidshare searching with google.

Same here PM, always read the replies for forum links.

I've also found that there are a lot of blogs with links, and I've yet to find an infected blog file.

[limpdickkid]

I think both have their advantages and disadvantages. But like mbucari1 said, if you have nothing in mind and you want to watch something torrents are great although some of the RS blogs I frequent have a lot of stuff on display so that could work as well. But yeah, i frequent torrent trackers more than RS blogs, except ofcourse release-log which is an everyday thing.

Some good RS blogs are rslinks and rapidshareking, both get some pretty rare stuff.

[snowultra]

i also like warez better, its just a preference

[tusks]

I've used both and right now I'm using BT + Usenet and it's working out fine. I'm not using my RS account as much because I have a harder time finding the latest stuff, full DVDs, rare CDs that I can get on What or Waffles and old games/roms that are readily avaliable on BCG. Hands down though, if you're a porn lover, RS is perfect for you. Even though I love PureTnA, a RS premium account and a pornbb account is bliss.

[ghost716]

rapidshare is 100 times more secure then torrents
what are you saying

[Annihlist]

Bittorent owns, better, fresher, easier blah blaah

[grimms]

I use to use Warez. Now I only use bittorrent sites.

[panoli]

torrents r da best.

[dinko]

since the amount of members & request thing is well placed in bitorrent is better

[nemrac]

i find warez site to have too much spam, viruses...crap.

stick to a good torrent site with user comments.

Nemrac

[ghost716]

warez is WAY better for popular stuff, movies/tv/pr0n/pc games/apps

torrents are better for music and rare stuff

..imo

[alfry1010]

I try some warez but all the spam and the virus in the site of warez were depressing.

So i prefer BT because have got ANY fake or virus and the site of BT are very safe (the good one)

[bungeemirth]

i think the type of warez that you referred to is the old school type; where warez sites actually hosted the files that you've downloaded, and true this type can be very risky. however, the new type is a completely different world, where files are being hosted in any of direct download servers, and the majority of them are completely secure since it's being distributed through warez forums or blogs. actually, i am rather amazed how some people can actually turn a blind eye on this development, considering that content wise it could rival both bt and usenet, and security wise; it's actually very secure and anonymous since download links are given specific links, thus there is no risk of our isp throttling our connections due to excessive downloading activities

[maddoxro]

Now,Bittorrents is the best...but in 3-4 years...who knows...

[Sonnentier]

Now,Bittorrents is the best...but in 3-4 years...who knows...
Some say the same about warez ;)

[bungeemirth]

it's all relative; depend on which one do you use the most:yup:

[Dark Archon]

Rapidshare for the win!!! No ratio, no need to upload.

[PACE]

It depends if you have an RS account, Warez is better.

[zakkk]

Bittorrent absolutely. Much more quality

[Skyy]

I prefer torrents.

[MjWoNeR]

I only use free rapidshare and warez for small stuff like programs etc. I quit the premium services some time ago since the speeds and limits where getting hilarious as my ISPs speed was getting faster.

[RD22S]

every now and then i still use a warezsite for very small or older 0day apps. the ones i can't seem to find on a torrent site. i do prefer torrents.

[callas]

I like warez, just can find all the old !

[cinephilia]

bitorrent of course :)

Actually everything you are saying is incorrect. There is no such thing as Warez files...

Warez was a group that started this scene, their site is Warez.com

Now all the noobs have come along calling everything Warez, to mean pirated software of these sites as you call them Warez sites, in reality, there is no such thing...

Torrents, RS, Megaupload, Usenet, P2P, etc., it's all PIRACY! LOL...

It's all the same crap you just have to dig through it to find what you are looking for, some websites are junk, and a majority of them that sport the name Warez are junk.

I remember when there was hardly a site called something.com warez, or warezsomething.com and Warez.com was the only place to go to...

Now all the noobs seem to think there is Warez, and another side, and there isn't, LOL... ;)

[uzer]

I m using both, but if torrent is new then go ahead but if old it is very difficult to download when no seeder available. but warez you can download it any time

Yeah rite :frusty:

[DannyGnXz]

I prefer bit torrent.... Seems some of the warez sites give you so many hoops to jump around before you get want you are trying to download, that it makes it not worth the process.

[ajsi]

bittorrent ofc, it is just as comfortable as comfortable can be

[cap87]

Bittorrent is my favourite, but i also use warez sites for older stuff.

[Funkin']

As of lately, Warez(RS forums). There are sites that contain all the content you need, excellent speeds, great security, and best of all...no seeding.

I'm basically using bittorrent right now only when I have to. I'm kind of trying to get away from the whole private tracker thing.

[egejo]

I believe it depend on what you need...but as they say why not use both. Warez for old stuff torrents for brand new

[vlada]

for me torrent is better

[nthpeter]

I think both have the benefits, so i like and use both. (btw, id rather use very well secured ftps ;) )

[wark234]

For me only torrent

[BinaryRetentin]

Torrent

[DasFox]

Warez was a group that started this scene, their site is Warez.com




Yeah rite :frusty:

Yeah that's right, they are the original scene group... ;)

If you were around when they started you'd know that, I was...

[apextwin146]

oh really .. Did the Warez groups started with Top sites and the allied shit? I thght it was just operated through telnet? Warez of a mcuh tougher nut to crack than the scene but you would knw this since u were there from the late 80s when all this started rite?

[babadoux]

I use both, but I prefer Warez

[Funkin']

Yeah that's right, they are the original scene group... ;)

If you were around when they started you'd know that, I was...

Yes. You have made it extremely clear to everyone here that you are very "old school". :rolleyes:

[Azatos]

Depends, Warez when I have premium accounts on file-hosts plus I only download from topics with good feedback plus Warez is great since there is no ratio keeping =]

But, when I have no premium account I'll stick to my bittorrent.

[mwang27]

I tend to prefer torrents simply because warez usually have more viruses as they downloads. Also, you can always see how many seeders and leechers are on a torrent, which gives you an indication about how successful the torrent is.

[atlantik]

Torrent sites his the best !

[vergo]

Actually everything you are saying is incorrect. There is no such thing as Warez files...

Warez was a group that started this scene, their site is Warez.com

LOL, no that's not how it happened.

By the way, Aeyen, the word "warez" can refer to any pirated content, not just "warez sites." It also refers to torrents.

[Herrick]

After three copyright infringement notices & never getting in with a good private tracker, message boards with RS links is the way to go for me. Downloads are MUCH faster. No more waiting 11 to 16 hours for a 6 gig torrent.

Edit: I'm not saying that RS is better than torrents. Private trackers are probably better when there are many seeders. Plus they're free! I'm not sure if the speed is better though. The best speeds I've ever seen ranged from a steady 500 kbs to 600 kb/s. I'm just saying that right now, RS is better for Herrick :)

[Popov]

bit torrent

[iM32]

Bittorent for sure!!!

[wasaby]

Bittorent for sure!!!

you can say that again

[abosamer]

Warez for old and rare stuff for sure .

and bittorrent for fast and easy service for new stuff :)

[thrillerboy]

If I'm not wrong... warez stands for anything distributed illegally.... that includes torrent, rapidshare, ftp and all other sources.

torrent is one among those. I prefer torrents than others, coz, itz resumeable and requires much less time and attention, never used usenext and stuffs like that... but, the best filesharing method i know is torrents...

[oneillsurf]

bittorrent

[vpg8000]

Bit torrent shits all over Warez and doesn't even wipe itself after. :D

[Rigel9]

^this

[manbearpig]

Bit torrent shits all over Warez and doesn't even wipe itself after. :D


HAHA
lol :lol:

[Funkin']

coz, itz resumeable and requires much less time and attention

Actually bittorrent, downloading from forums, or using Usenet does not require much time or attention, and all three are resumable. But...out of the three, bittorrent is the method that requires more time and attention.

[piratebot]

what do you mean by warez sites?

[Peanut]

there both great depends on the user,

[skiners]

I love USENET because there isn`t any ratio system and when I download something from usenet my download speed is 2 times faster than uTorrent max speed.
I love WAREZ too because I can get anything else there what isn`t leaked on bittorrent or usenet.
I love BITTORRENT too (trackers), fast PRE times, can get newest stuff very fast and communities in generel/0day trackers ar great and very helpful.

[Sonnentier]

what do you mean by warez sites?

One-click-hosting, I guess. So I use them both, it really depends.

[Seed4Speed]

I prefer BT because it's safer, comfortable & faster.

[HINT]

BitTorrent of course..

[sheriff 01]

I love USENET because there isn`t any ratio system and when I download something from usenet my download speed is 2 times faster than uTorrent max speed.

Either your utorrent is not setup right or you are using the wrong private trackers. I download at the max speed my isp will allow either through usenet or Bit torrent.:)

[no_bother]

I start with Private trackers, depending on what im looking for, then ork my way down to places like demonoid or the likes, and then finally onto piratebay.
Having a rapidshare account/Usenet defies the point in P2p. P2p is free, thats what its about, not getting stuff for cheap. I dont like piracy hugely but its a kind of "stick-it-to-the-man" thing for me... why do I pay some god damn game developers 60 euro for a game that I can install 3 times, and am really only renting from them, its more aout prioving a point. Music is just so expensive for what you get... and If i like an album Ill go out and buy it after downloading it. If I like a movie that Ive downloaded Ill buy that too. If I wanted to pay for the stuff (like Rapidshare or Usenet) 'd have gone out and bought the bloody stuff in the first place

[fstbirds]

most of warez sites are not safe, i'd like private trackers.

[FRTz]

I also prefer private trackers

[529353]

I prefer torrents,because it is more easy for me

[Rumov]

Torrents, anytime. But i must admit i found some rare stuff which i couldn't find on torrents.

[r3volut1onx]

of course bittorrent, this is the best invention since pussy :)

[Kebert]

Well, I prefer to use a combination of the two.

First I search private bittorrent sites, then if no luck then I usually try megashares/rapidshare, if I still can't find then (and only then) I hunt for a public torrent.

[Napzy8]

Use torrent to big files, warez to small programs etc and Cabos to music:)

[M.a.M]

Warez WAS the best long time ago , now bit torrent Rulz ;)

[D1zkK1ll]

Warez or Bittorrent? Oo

You leech Warez over Bittorrent..
Warez are Movies,Mp3,Oday etc

[plaus]

yeah...

[Funkin']

Warez WAS the best long time ago

That's only a matter of opinion. In my opinion bittorrent, newsgroups, and file hosting(known as Warez or RS forums) are the three best ways to download. And each method has disadvantages and advantages over each other. There is no one best method unfortunately. I like to use a combination of all three. With a little Soulseek mixed in here and there.
