How do I use FTP for file sharing?

[rocky12]

Would downloading via FTP be more safer then torrents/magnets?

How do I download using FTP?

Do I download using my browser which is Chrome? Or do I need a client? Which client would be free and the best?

Are there any FTP sites for all ages of music, so I could search for what I like?

Are there any tutorials for downloading using FTP?

Firstly, magnet links are another way of starting a BitTorrent download, which relies on obtaining the necessary metadata via DHT instead of a .torrent file.

For the paranoid. the answer to your question would probably depend on who's behind the FTP, how many logs it keeps and where it's located... but it's safer in the sense you don't upload anything yourself, as in Usenet. If you have a working FTP you can leech from, I'll answer your other questions, I'm lazy today. :P

I was reading that people are getting busted for uploading and not downloading?

If that's the case then I'll stick with magnet links then go into settings then zero out the upload which makes it after downloading then I'm a pure leecher? It's the only way I could stay safe? I don't want to cut off the upload, but it's the only option.

0 = unlimited

It will only suffer speeds. I don't think there is anyway to completely disable sharing to avoid getting busted? Or am I wrong?

Options -->Preferences-->BitTorrent. Under "Number of Connections". Change the upload slot to "0". Uncheck the use additional slots with <90%. Apply the changes.

That should do it.

If you say so...

[rocky12]

LOL. I'll post back asking why my speeds are slow if I do that! I guess I don't want to cut the upload slots to 0?

Setting the number of upload slots to 0 won't do anything. The people that code uTorrent are a bit smarter than that.

Using a negative number of upload slots did virtually stop uploading most of the time in the 1.8.x branch, but they've fixed that.

I was over a TPB forums the other day. They said the magnet links will work the same way as if someone is getting busted or not. I wish there was a way around this for free.

What about FTP? I don't have a server to leech. Would Adams file be free without invite? Or how does that work? What's the website? Could you answer my questions in my OP?

If your concern is privacy, the best solution cost wise is clearly moving on to the newsgroups, using SSL.
As long as you don't post anything on the servers, there are no problems at all reported so far.

[rocky12]

Would downloading NZB files be free and would that be a option?

[vBooM]

Isit there tutorials for all of this? lol

[rocky12]

Alright, I believe that I would like to go with Adams File. Yes, I successfully registered an account over at adamsfile.com.

1.) How do I upload, so I can begin to download? What's the process for uploading?

2.) Do I download directly through my browser using the download manager by my browser? Or do I download using some sort of free FTP client? If a client is required, what would be the best choice for a client?

Are there any possible open alternatives without invite for jambands.fm FTP Grateful Dead, and Phish music? I know FTP's has music trackers for different kinds of music, but unfortunately that jambands.fm is invite only.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with registering for an account if no invite is required. I'll make it easier by registering.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[rocky12]

Could someone please answer my questions in regards to FTP music trackers based on my post?

I had been waiting for some replies, but I have not received any.

Does someone have the answers? Or where could I go to get the answers? I tried Google, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
