I don't even let my girlfriend download, it takes my bandwidth ;).....
If it was me, and she had to download stuff, I would go with news groups and just get NZBs from this site or other similar sites, newsgroups can get pretty bad, depending where you go, but that goes for anything with the internet.
Could you expand on this? Are you saying that I should let a 10yo use trial and error when being introduced to the Internet. Should I just let her download Limewire or something like that and then have her spammed with porn ads when trying to find cute pictures of animals etc.?Quote:

Really think its the parents responibility to sort things at for kids when so young.
BTW I have successfully taught her to use Google image search.
Also there is ulterior motive behind introducing her to torrents instead. She will have trouble finding Danish subs for stuff if it's an English torrent site, which will force her to pay better attention in English class in school.
I won't teach her to use subscene.
Childbytes will be good
wow you want a place where you can get friendly with the kids eh?Quote:

I'm not trying to be an ass here, but this just sounds ridiculous to me. If you follow these lines of thinking, then your telling me that if she discovers crack cocaine or heroin, your going to try to find a safe way for her to do it? Or discovers armed robbery can make you a lot of money, your going to facilitate it?Quote:

We may call it file sharing, but it's still illegal in most country's, & you are helping her do it, no matter what you call it. I agree with a few others here...let her mother do it. What's going to happen & god forbid, you get busted by one of the aa's? Blame it on a 10 yr old? Once again, i'm not trying to be a jerk, but this just doesn't sound right to me.
It's not illegal here so those arguments don't apply. I have a hard time associating file sharing with crack cocaine and armed robbery, but maybe that's just me.
oh and :glag:
I can get you some nice crack for level 4 invite. Check your PM. ;)
no i see what u trying to say, but i just think its just a few years to early to start to introduce her to downloading stuff. And no im not saying let her download limewire im saying u should not let her download anything at all, the parent should do the downloading for her. Maybe im wrong but that just what i feel, and i have nothing against teaching her how to use computers and the internet, just think its a bit early for her to download thats all maybe wait a few more years.Quote:

Maybe i feel that way because i just get a bit paranoid about people who dont really no a lot about downloading, download stuff on my computer.
Oh no one gets near my computer. I don't even use AntiVirus. I am anticipating me having to clean up hers at least once or twice, but this way she will see what not to do.
On the subject of parenting. My parents used to try and shield me against everything. That had a very bad effect and let's just say I ended up not being what they wanted in a teenage kid.. something which continued the rest of the way in growing up.
This has led me to believe, that keeping kids honest and setting guidelines rather than limits is a better way to go. Maybe I'm wrong, but there is no way it can end up as bad as shielding them too much.
if i were you i would use Zone Alarm, put a password, and set it to highest parental control (filters adult content, torrents, drugs, and couple more content). I would even set it so it won't allow her user account to download or install program.
you can call it shielding all you want but seeing something wrong at an early age will leave bad impression...forever. There are papers written about it...lookup over the interwebz.
idk what type of restriction your parents did to you, but if it was something like no torrenting until 13 then they did well. I mean, even the site you are trying to sign her up for says "I am at least 13 years old."
i'm just saying...
edit: thnx for speed.cd link btw. i myself was looking a family friendy general content site.
Problem is that shielding often results in rebellion, as it did in my case. From the age of around 13-14 up until adulthood, I did nothing my parents wanted me to. I bet that even if I knew they were right, I would still do everything wrong.. if not for anything else, then to show them that they had no control of my life.
Guiding builds confidence in a positive way.
I bet it also says: "Do not download this torrent file unless you own the content." We all do that, right?Quote:

Why not let her go to Warez-BB and download from RapidShare? Much easier.
Even most of my computer-retard friends managed to do that.
Also the Pm or post function.
May go crazy on the boards.lol
Jk'ing.:P

Speed.cd has a BloodWeiser release on the first page, Teen Girls in Chains or something. Lollercaust.
I dunno about that, I was using limewire or equivalent when I was 10. kids aren't as dumb as the people posting the nasty files, they learn quick that if the file has their exact search term and tiny size it's no good.Quote:

Granted I did see some stuff I shouldn't have, and it did have some negative effects on me, but for fucks sake, bad stuff is everywhere.
Case in point, when I was 8 or 9 somebody at the library filed some adult books in the kids section:o
I was very shocked by the sex and violence in them, but who expects the public library to have nasty things left in the kids section?
Also, many kids these days watch movies I would consider age inappropriate, I've worked with groups of 6-8 year old kids who are gleefully discussing Kill Bill:pinch:
They certainly didn't get their parents permission to watch that kind of stuff.
FWIW I would also check out the Tao of Kids TV. It's all kid's tv shows, and easy to navigate:)
EDIT: and to all the people suggesting blocking her downloading, Kids just aren't that dumb.
they will try to find ways around it, and often succeed in ways you don't expect. they are often way more savvy then you'd expect, especially when it comes to things like the internets. You only have a limited time span to spend blocking them, they have all day to think up new ways around it. And they have friends and friends older siblings to help.
And also, unless I'm much mistaken, isn't filesharing where the OP lives not illegal?
yes, i'd be interested to know as well.Quote:

stick to BCG for games.
BitMe and BitSpyder for e-learning content, and stick to AnimaTooniC and animebytes for kiddie stuff.
You should be safe wid that.

And if shes found out about limewire, don't do it. Tell her to stop. Whatever it takes. Otherwise in a matter of days your computers going to turn into a giant virus fest, as it is for most average users that don't know how to recognize exe's from mp3s...
