And now: Interesting Post!
Aussie newb here - I am looking for a website/FTP that I can direct download from. Need persistent connections so torrents and Usenet are out.
I have sort of crappy internet due to being in Australia on Satellite - so my max speed is 450kb/sec. Bandwidth caps are no issue thanks to a thingie I recently discovered which lets me get past ISP shaping after using up my quota for the month. (Basically they don't shape persistent connections so if I begin one before I'm shaped I can download at fullspeed and get free data)
At the moment, Torrific is very handy except for the 4GB torrent limit and DMCA vulnerability which makes it useless for newer games and TV shows, Rapidshare clones are ok except for captchas, link expiry, parallel downloads forcing me to use multiple sites - etc.
I've used Napalm FTP indexer to find stuff but there seem to be only about 3 good English FTPs with a wide-ish selection of stuff, but they also seem to download far too slowly - between 20/40 kb/sec.
That's not so bad except they also aren't pause-able, so they're effectively useless to me.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of or has any free leech site(s)/FTP(s) I can use that has old game images as well as new ones, TV shows, and movies. Don't need sites that just link to rapidshare clones as I already have enough of those.
I'll still probably use rapidshare clones and torrific where I can/need to - but if anyone could point me to something extra it would be appreciated.
Also - not willing to pay, cos I can't - looking for charity here. Dunno how far I'll get - likely nowhere. Thanks for listening.
