Downloading movies free[views:4542][posts:22]_______________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 3:34am - coldnorthernvengeance ""] Anyone have any good sites to recommend? |

| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 8:17am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] bittorrent |

| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 8:38am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] yeah, if it's in the theatres then the quality most likely sucks. If it's a rip of a dvd it's usually always labeled that way, though. So you can tell what's good. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 8:59am - hoser ""] Any good gay porn sites with free movies?? I'm reeling in my pants here!! |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 9:03am - tittypuncher ""] hey? who brought the faggot? |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 9:34am - RustedAngel ""] people who can't figure out how to get free movies/music themselves should keep buying them to take some of heat off us :spineyes: Also, posting about it on a message board isn't the smartest thing in the world if you are worried about being caught. Most message boards will delete any piracy threads immediately. Torrent Sucks. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:04pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] What do you use to grab software & movies? I asked you in a different thread why you don't like bittorrent but I don't think you saw it. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:16pm - ra @ gf‘s house ""] dc++ ;) I tried torrent for a couple of days and thought it was a shit idea. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:22pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] oh man, I hate dc++ You have to wait around for ridiculously slow slots to open up. Then people just log out before you're done. You should give bittorrent another shot. It's pretty good if you have a good client and know a good site to grab torrents off of. If you're behind a router make sure port 6881 can get through. There's lot of shit out there and speeds are usually good. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:25pm - ~Carina~ ""] i got frustrated with bittorrent too it works but i dunno... anyhow, i guess after work i'm going to go to best buy and pick up the dvd i bought online |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 3:19pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] What frustrated you about it? |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 3:35pm - ~Carina~ ""] well then i haven't been lucky in what i've downloaded... and MSD, i don't like how i don't see if someone is dling anything of mine...like what if someone is on my entire pc? |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 3:56pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Well, with the way bittorrent works, the other users can only download the files you are currently downloading, or the files that you finished downloading and haven't removed from your list yet (seeding). It's not like other p2p networks where you share out a directory. You can tell if someone else is downloading off you though by looking at your upspeed. Also, depending on your client you can go into the torrent details and see what's going on regarding all the connections. As far as getting good downloads speeds, make sure port 6881 isn't being blocked by your firewall/router/ISP (I believe you can also use a different port). Also, make sure you have a decent client and that it's the current version. (I use azureus (seems to do the trick) http://azureus.sourceforge.net ) Other than that, it all depends on the torrents. When you choose torrents to download, make sure you select ones with a decent amount of seeders (people who have the whole file downloaded and are just uploading). Finding good torrent sites also help. If the sites are maintained well enough, the admins will take off mislabeled or corrupted torrents. I usually just use these three: http://www.thepiratebay.org http://www.torrentspy.com http://www.isohunt.com |

| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 4:33pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Also, if anyone's curious as to how this works, I'll try and explain it a bit. When using other p2p networks, you connect to a server that gets you in touch with everybody else. You usually serve out a list of files that you specifically selected as available for other people to download. When someone downloads a file, they're downloading it off one person alone. (This could be slow if they have a slow connection). With bittorrent, you're downloading one file from dozens of people (which can make things a bit faster). A website will usually serve a small .torrent file. This torrent file (I believe) just has some info about the real file you're trying to download, along with a link to the tracker. Your client will read the info in the torrent file and connect to the tracker. The tracker is the server that gets you in touch with all the other people that are leaching/seeding the file. Leachers are basically people downloading the file (but haven't finished yet), and seeders are people that have the completed file and are just uploading. Now, when you are downloading a file, you download different parts of the file at once, from different people. Also, while you are downloading those pieces, you are also uploading the parts you ALREADY downloaded to other people. So you upload and download at the same time. When your file is complete and you have all parts of the file downloaded, it is usually good practice to leave the client running for a while and seed a little. Again, when you're seeding, you're doing nothing but uploading the file to other leachers. The more seeders and leachers a torrent has, the stronger it is. When you select a torrent off a site, look for the one that has the most seeders and leachers. There's still a lot to this shit that I don't know about. I really only bothered to read about the stuff I cared about. Pretty much just the stuff that got me downloading & figuring out why the fuck some files go so slow. My info on the tracker shit is probably a little fuzzy. I just basically skimmed over it when I read about it. I'm not interested in creating torrents and setting up trackers, so I could care less. If anybody can correct my info this, please do. Also, I recently started using peerguardian when I use bittorrent now. ( http://methlabs.org/projects/ ) If anybody doesn't know, it's basically a simple firewall that gets a list of IP addresses that are typically known to be used by the bad guys (RIAA, MPAA, government, members of metallica... anybody who doesn't like p2p applications a whole lot). This has been around for a while, and I've always just disregarded it as crap that probably won't do a damn bit of good. However, I did need it once to complete a download. A certain TV show I was downloading was being targeted by Anti-p2p groups. They weren't collecting info or doing anything crazy, but they WOULD connect to the trackers, act as regular seeders, and just seed out bullshit data that would corrupt everyone's downloads. (Once a leacher has bad data from one of those anti-p2p seeders, the leacher will now also be sending out that bad data to others without knowing it). I probably downloaded 4 different versions of one of these episodes that were all corrupted. When I got peerguardian up and running, they had the anti-p2p group's IPs in their ban list and I was able to block those groups from corrupting my downloads. |

There's all sorts of goodies for ipod users. Replacing the firmware with the linux version seems pretty popular right now. Too bad I went cheap and got a Dell DJ. Meh, I guess it gets the job done, doesn't sound too much worse then the iPod. I guess I can't complain since I got a 30GB player for a little more than the price of a 4GB ipod mini. It's hardly any bigger than a normal ipod too. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 4:47pm - ~Carina~ ""] oh and MSD, about bit torrent, another thing was that you need to understand quite a bit before you download something...one of the movies i downloaded (same one i mentioned above), basically was a million rar files, separated on 2 cd;s and i had to use 2 programs and i had to keep it on 2 cd's .. aaron had to help me do it and then after all that the quality was poopy |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 5:13pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Yeah, as with any file sharing, occasionally you do find stuff that's bad quality and packaged badly. Like I said, though, admins at some of the better sites usually take down the bad stuff. thepiratebay.org has forum comments right in all the download pages, so you can usually find out if a file is of bad quality before you even download it. |
