in fact i've got a router here that protects my server and my internal network. but as far as i know i've got opened up the port needed for bt. but i'm honestly not sure about this because it is some time ago i last used BT. might be a try though. the donkey port itself is forwared to the server.i don't know if it is the protocol or your luck, but try the ABC client or the shadow BT one and be sure to not be under a firewall. If the problem persist then i agree with you, don't use bittorent at all. The problem you mentioned are typical of someone being under a firewall, the os has nothing to do with it, clearly something interfere with the BT client. Last don't use the original client as they are the worst you can expect.
Really?... it's not for older stuff.
if i remeber correctly... aren't those old releases games which have been very well known back then? with old i mean especially uncommon stuff, that you stumble across by accident and that not much infos are around or are already hard to find on any media type.Really?... it's not for older stuff.
I find the exact opposite. I find myself getting "newer" things from other places, and getting older releases via BitTorrent. I'm come across quite a few old movies, DOS games, obscure music albums, etc. Whenever I want something older that I know I don't have archived or am going to have trouble finding, I start scouring the torrent sites. Usually I luck out too, or at least there's always someone around kind enough to post up whatever I'm looking for.
The old DOS games/applications are one of my favourite uses for torrenting.
Well, not really. I`ve stopped using ANY other P2P programs after I found out some great torrent-sites and thus far, I`ve been able to get anything I`ve wanted. Even those older, more obscure games and mainstream too, of course.if i remeber correctly... aren't those old releases games which have been very well known back then? with old i mean especially uncommon stuff, that you stumble across by accident and that not much infos are around or are already hard to find on any media type.
