Is there any way to bypass filesharing sites wait times when you have a static IP? (without paying for a premium account, if possible)

With a static IP it's nearly (or is) impossible, but then jDownloader can be usefull to get these steps automated. jDownloader starts the download when possible.

Without a proxy, I doubt it's possible.

JDownloader can reset the connection, but if you have a static IP, that won't do anything (believe me, I've tried many times

Bypassing wait times... programs like CryptLoad, jDownloader and MiPony all automate the process for you, but if that's not good enough...

a) contact your ISP and see if you can get them to switch you to a dynamic IP, then figure out how to get your router to restart and refresh your IP.
b) if you're stuck on static IP, consider using proxies. Different types of proxies provide different levels of result - they're not ALL slow. You might even consider setting up your own proxy (using a friend's internet connection).
c) if proxies don't work well enough for you, consider actually paying for premium. You can get a few friends to chip in towards the cost and share the user/pass between you so you all get the benefits. That's what I did for MU and RS, and it only cost me 50p for each.
d) find mirrors for your files. If you're downloading large files from forums/newsgroups, ask them to set up mirrors so even when you hit your limit, you can just carry on with another host site.
e) a while ago there used to be a "semi proxy" trick. The proxy would establish the connection, then redirect the actual download to you (directly, not through the proxy). I don't think it works anymore though, since it's been long enough for host sites to get wise to it and update their plugins.

f) endure. Wait for the waiting times like you're supposed to and find something else to do in the meanwhile (like read a book or play a game).

If it were just for videos and not data files, I would suggest plugins like Illitimux.

Try Ultrasurf, idk if it will work, but it's a proxy type program, but turns on the filter when you open the program. I think it might work, it's mainly used to bypass blocking filters at schools to access say YouTube.

    Games are getting huge nowdays, like 125gb a game (4k games anyways). I feel sorry for players that only have a 512gb hd. (Series S)

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
