;) Now why don't you tell us what makes them so excellent.Ripper and Bitrate Please.

[user123]

Sometimes the excellent rating doesn't mean diddly ;)

I have had plenty of iffy excellent rated films :(

Best to preview :D

I got a little curious too.


If you have a, say, Pritni Spears mp3 ripped at 256k with Lame.

Would you rated it excellent because of the bitrate and encoder that was used,
or because you just happen to Luv her music ?

I'll say the Rip looks good, but where goes the Universal Rule of what is
excellent can be in gray area.
No, i dont like Pritnis Music and thats just a matter of taste.

Of course, same goes for Movies too;
What movie versus quality?

I would like to think that the rating was about Quality of the file.
Of course, I am wrong and I cannot prove I am right either.

If im using K-Lite++ Im ignoring the whole Excellent-Rating system.
I've found files that wasnt excellent quality at all.

Does the folks who seed them screetchy mp3's add them as Excellent?
So that more ppl would DL them.

Hellooo?

Riaa and or Mpaa?

Anybody?

:lol:

[chuckle1]

my ratings are for quality of audio and video not whether its a good song or good film. Thats down to individual taste i thought that was how its supposed to be rated on k lite that is :huh:

[user123]

The purists would say quality of video & audio etc ;)

I am guessing most people use it to say whether they like something or not

I personally would like to see it for quality only :D

I have never cared if something was rated or not.
My hearing was damaged when I worked at UPS. The
warning sirens injure ears there. And my vision is
good enough to drive a car just barely so most all
video and music is of high quality to me. I feel bad that
people don't know what they are getting when the
get files from me, so I make up for it by sharing 40 gigs
of files. However, I do only download 128-192 bitrate
music files just incase my wife likes the song. (^:

I do however take time to check mark for the language that
is being spoken in the video that I share. If I share
a blooper or other funny commercial I select English if it
is English or All if there are no words spoken. Some languages
I have to make a guess at though.....

Cars crashing is universal ! *smile

it's sad if you use p2p that needs an integrity rating. you should be able to get a super copy of what you want the first time even if someone hasn't taken the time out of thier life to say this is good.

It doesn't "need" an integrity rating.... it is a "feature" and is purely optional. It doesn't affect UL or DL or speed or finding files either. Some people just spend an extra moment to see if the user on the other end has selected a file's quality by hand before they grab it. If it has no rating, then most people DL it anyway.

What I do is check file size. If ten people have a file size of 3,456kb and one person has filesize of 3,424kb, then I assume that ten people would have a complete and good file. But I have 256 DSL so I am willing to grab 4 copies of the same thing with slightly different sizes and names and compare the 4 of them and delete 3.

Also in WinMX I can ping all results easily with one button and then I can guess how many minutes grabbing that file will take.

People on 56k and slower are more picky about what they will grab.

having to guess which files are good, and which are not is a noobish past-time.....
move on up to the next level of p2p where there are no bad files

BT is the best.
