Hello,
I'm using torrents for years and think of choosing an alternative method like: P2P (eMule, Kazaa), Usenet, IRC because I can't find the files I want in Torrents (Well Private trackers are a go but I know none and I'm registered into none).
Can someone give any suggestions?
I'm mostly interested at downloading Xbox games at the moment
The WTO link at the top and this thread may help:Quote:

Since you're interested on Xbox games, I'd recommend BCG (they gave thousands of referrals today) and Xbox-Sky (opens from time to time).
I was never a member of xbox-sky, but I can 100% guarantee that you will find everything you need on bitgamer and BCG.
Unfortunately, no file sharing method is the "best". Each one has its pros and cons.
If you're wanting to stick with torrents, then I would go with the two suggestions for BCG. Since the site has an sp mod, the site is basically freeleech. Really beneficial for people with slow up speeds. When you're able to see the invite forum request an invite.
Usenet is also great. Especially for big files like Xbox games. You download them, burn them to a disc, and delete it off your computer. No uploading involved at all. Check out the Newsgroups board here to get all the info you need for this method.
Samething with warez forums(which you'll need an RS, MU, etc premium account to get the full benefits, but it's all downloading, no seeding). I don't know any Xbox specific warez forums, but any big general forum will have what you're looking for. Check out this thread for a big list of forums.
Warez-BB is king of all warez forums. :yes:
:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:Quote:

If you are also interested in rare&old content, keep in mind thats torrents in trackers doesn't have retention times nor become removed by companies.
Thanks for your answers.
I don't know where to start but I will.
Also about USENET, In every ad I found they say you need to pay to get registered, is this true? Can I use it for free?
OK I searched around the forums and I learned about BCG.
I've got one big major question and I would like someone answers it.
People who have give-aways to private trackers ask for proof from the user with
1) SpeedTest
2) Share Ratio on other private trackers
3) Client's statistics
You can scam the proof pretty easily.
If you search around the net you can find the proof that the other user give-aways asks or you repost the statistics from other users who post.
especially with the share ratio in which you must hide your username in order not to get "banned" from that particular tracker.
You do you know if the user who wants the give-away-invite is not a scammer or the proof he has is his own?
Anyway the way of doing things with private trackers have many holes.
Its for privacy reasons, you don't get banned from particular tracker for using or wanting to join another trackerQuote:

Generally you need to pay for most providers, but there's a free one:Quote:

The best file sharing method by far is lending your buddy a copy of your bluray of Too Many Men, Not Enough Time. Then he in return gives you his copy of Hairy Buttons. :DQuote:

Those Warez forums rule!
I did not hesistate to pay for a MegaUpload & a Rapidshare accounts.
I'm a downloading maniac right now :D
I simply love it.
Not only for Xbox Games I'm also downloading a cool BR-Rip Avatar :P
even if you have used a public tracker in the past and maintained a ratio of over 1.0 and/or don't mind seeding torrents for, say, over a week...then let me know and I'll invite you into BCG
Yep. They do indeed rule. :) For big files like Xbox games, HD movies, Season packs, etc., I think it's way better to use those then spend days upon days seeding back these files to trackers.Quote:

There are free servers out there(like what anon posted), but they usually offer way too low of retention, not allowed many connections, and speeds may not max out your connection. Basically they're good for 0day files. For around the same you pay a month for RS/MU accounts, you can also get a great newsgroups provider.Quote:

Well its Private Tracker for me!!!
Torrents when possible (which is most of the time), otherwise StrongDC, otherwise Amazon.com.
Some ISPs provide usenet for free. You might want to check with them first. My ISP has a reasonable server with about 10 day retention.Quote:

Most of them provide it for free, though as you say there are usually restrictions. Email your provider or check your FAQ/ help section of the login section.... most of them list their server details thereQuote:

best method is:
private tracker with freeleech or ratio free FTN, GFT
The best method of file transfer is.....
Private torrent trackers
If you don't like seeding things, and can afford to spend a few dollars a month, you can donate to your tracker most of the time to get benefits.
Well
I personally Private Trackers!!!
Its high speed and easy to find stuff with specific tracker for differentkind of stuff!!
And most importantly, bearing a part of it, improves your knowledge much much more
Rather than hitting via Warez forums and sites!!!
You have to remember that if your going to use a private tracker, you have to turn off dhcp hashing or else it will find other people, outside of the private trackers, who are seeding. If you don't turn that off than there is really no reason to be using a private tracker because your IP is being broadcasted to everyone, you are also seeding everyone else.
DHCP hashing? :huh:Quote:

That "disable DHT because otherwise you'll leak data/upload to others and it won't get counted/will be flagged as a cheater" argument is a myth anyway.
Yeah sorry I meant to say DHT.

They can't see you're seeding or uploading via DHT, only what you have to say about a certain info_hash, which isn't really evidence.
They can get the IPs from people in the swarm from the tracker itself anyway, via normal usage. BitTorrent is far from a secure protocol.
Hmmm, really? Well shit, learn something new everyday.Quote:
