RE: Bit Torrent - is it fast & easy to use?

 

[ollie]

only get a virus from limewire if you have an IQ less than 5

 

[Jay MK1]

the ones i know about are

1. www.limewire.com
2. www.winmx.com
3. www.shareaza.com
4. www.kazza.com
5. www.bearshare.com

thats it!

 

[Baby D]

just got told bearshare is good so will try that Thanks guys!

 

[172beast]

Just use a bittorrent client like uTorrent and website called uknova (search google), you'll get all the UK Tv programmes you need, for US shows, torrenspy or mininova are both very good.

 

[Baby D]

looking just for music to be honest, and nothings working for me Limewire won't open, Bearshare is coming up with all the buttons grey'd out!

 

[Baby D]

ok bearshare's open now, just gotta pay

4. www.kazza.com
5. www.bearshare.com

thats it!

dont use any of this crap, it only bogs down your PC.

best off downloading straight from the web or by using FTP's

www.projectw.org
www.puzo.org

try these out you can usually find the stuff you are looking for

 

[ollie]

hmm im sure the free bearshare comes bundled with spyware/adware. It at least used to anyway.

 

[ollie]

The BearShare file-trading program, "supported" by WhenU spyware. In order to install BearShare, users must agree to install "the SAVE! bundle" from WhenU. The installer provides only a tiny window in which to read the lengthy license agreement. Although the installer claims otherwise, the software transmits users' browsing activity to WhenU servers.

lol

 

[Baby D]

Hmmm!!!! as i said i have to pay for bear share unless i use someones email addy thats already paid lol!!! Am getting advice about torrents so gonna try this

 

[ollie]

gimme a min i will upload the full version to my webspace and pm you the link :¬)

 

[172beast]

Torrents fine for music to, get full albums rather then 1 dodgy track that fooks up half way through. Don't use P2P for owt anymore myself, torrent for everything.

 

[Baby D]

quality olliee that'd be lovely

172 - yeah Ibanez is being nice and talking me through torrent on msn

 

[ollie]

torrent is a form of p2p

n yeah, i use torrent for pretty much anythin, altho i use limewire if i just want a single track. Ive never had probs with songs that f**k up, just have to know what to look for ;¬)

 

[Baby D]

yeah same here, shareaza was brilliant but now it just gives me Zip and RAR files etc, and doesnt find anything

Limewire wont work for me

im lookin for lots of individual songs so hope the torrent and bearshare work lol..

 

[ollie]

there is a thing thats pretty much identicle to limewire Pro, in every way, but its completely free. Trying to remember what its called

 

[ollie]

oh, and DC++ is worth taking a look at, can find alsorts of stuff on there :¬)

when using shareaza you don't use it to search, just to download, to find the songs you are looking for you use a site like mininova.org and open the file from there and then it will download in shareaza.

thats the thing i was talking about thts exactly the same as limewire pro :¬)

It is not illegal to download programmes that have been on british tv as long as you have paid for your tv license.

not true, your tv license only covers the BBC channels, not 3,4 or 5 etc.

You don't own the right to own the programmes broadcast by the BBC though, only the right to watch them. If you recrod them to a video recorder, technically, as soon as you have watched it you should delete it. Thats the way i understand it anyway. This is unless you download the official copy from the BBC website lke they started doing with Office Crowd etc.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Bit Torrent for me for the usual stuff , www.araditracker.com first port of call for torrents , then mininova , pirate bay etc ... Soulseek for music , especially some older more obscure stuff .
Mirc for all the latest music using www.packetnews.com

Agree, if you are just looking for a song or smaller file, DC++ is great.

 

[GazCB]

I use eMule.

 

[valver lad]

Think to get the best out of downloaded, you gotta put your hand in your pocket and pay a little.
I use USENEXT, only $10 per month for 10gig. and the speeds max me out each time.
Or if you can get your mits on a FTP, go for it!

Try this to fix the java problem as i know the limewire version wouldn't install for someone else

 

[Andy]

omg griff thats so confusing
