bittorrent files

gunner6666 · May 20, 2004

can bittorrent files be posted, since there not the roms?

enarky · Jun 20, 2004

Good to hear some people are still able to type make in a linux bash. Well, if you're so damn smart, why aren't you able to configure BT support so that it actually *works* and stop bashing it for being slow and crap? 'cause it isn't for sure.

OMFG! what a bitching ***!

this has nothing to do with config, damn it. for this i use the original BT client, the pythong-ncurses based one (the gui didn't work, compile errors). i've used also bt++ on my other windows laptop, both cases the same. although i blocked upload at 2kb (back then i could not have more than 4kb upload or my download was impacted) the client ALWAYS went up to 4 ignoring the limit and my download was always around 0.1k... no matter what os, nor machine. this has nothing to do with mldonkey.

and for you guy... i know damn well what make does... this is not my first linux system i compiled from scratch... i know very well what compiling means, belief me.

enarky · Jun 20, 2004

I never said I don't believe you don't know how to compile anything... just that it's not *that* difficult, anybody with some brain left can do that. I'm just asking myself why you just don't do *exactly* that and compile MLDonkey (which obviously is your favourite P2P client) to have friggin' BT support and at least try *that* before you bitch and moan how BT is rubbish, good-for-nothing and all the clients you used are crap.

?!
o man... sometimes idiocy hurts...

if i've got tested around 3 clients why should mldonkey be better? it's the protocol, the system that is not splendid, not the clients.

anyways... this will not get far because as far as i see it you seem to miss the point.

enarky · Jun 20, 2004

Whoopee, Mr. Know-it-all has tried three clients half a decade ago. Bravo. That makes you an expert in P2P Filesharing. Just FYI, BT development hasn't stopped since that time and bandwidth limiting is implemented quite well in todays clients. It's not *me* who is ignorant.

yes as people stated already. Use azureus. It has a much easier interface and better download speeds. Plus bittorrent is really only good for recent stuff like recent movies, recent shows, recent games. It's hard to find older stuff on it.

Dragonlord · Jun 20, 2004

@enarky: who called me an expert *grin*... at least not so poopie like you

@Myke: one that knows how the show runs... it's not for older stuff. the other client though i never tried out. if it has a console interface i might look at it once.

alfre · Jun 20, 2004

does it really matter if it's legal or not? because i don't think someone is going to post any

enarky · Jun 20, 2004

Never called you an expert. That was irony. Something you wouldn't recognize if it hits you in the face.

enarky....... Shut up!

Stop insulting, aggravating and provoking other members with your L33T(!) nix knowledge.

Take it elsewhere if you must continue acting like a child. You can count this as a warning if you like.

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.

enarky · Jun 20, 2004

Well, so be it. Ban me and my "L33T(!) nix knowledge". Look through my posted messages and you'll see only one helpful post anyways.

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.

and about the clients... most of them are gui clients right? the reason i only can use a concole client is because my server only has console linux and no x-window system (for what a server needs this anyways) thus mldonkey is also one of the few possibilities i got there.

Really?

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.

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.

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.

The only problem with it seems to be that the torrents for those "obscurities" vanish pretty quickly since people d/l mostly the new and hot stuff. It`s a bit sad to say the least...

I think if you want to be able to find everything, you'll end up using more than one method to get it.

Some things, like translation groups for television shows, work very well with bittorrent.
