People still use torrents?? that is sooooo 2005.

Guess someone didn't let you know... all the cool kids have secret invite-only torrent sites these days. All the uncool ones have to rely on -shivers- megaupload and rapidshare. Course you can still go oldschool and do IRC... but since most kiddies don't even know what DOS was or understand that you can command computers via text and not just shiny GUIs.... But I digress.

1 - Invite-only torrent sites aren't that good anymore, even the fabled -torrent site removed- is not my first checking place.
2 - The actual old-school shit is usenet.

You tried to school somebody older than you.

EDIT: FFFF- whoops, sorry.

Bittorrent is great for certain files. Take properly ripped music for example. Usenet or DDL forums do not compare to the lossless trackers.

I'm more of a Usenet guy(great for big files, good security, and best of all guaranteed speeds and no seeding), but there are some things that Bittorrent is better for than other file sharing methods.

Agreed.

As far as Wii Scene Releases go, usenet/newsgroups are "teh win" as the BT releases, private or not, tend to be behind the usenet releases, as much behind as the NTSC groups have been lagging the PAL groups as of late at least, lol

Back to the OP: ?Torrent's webUI, WiiVNC, or buying a BT NAS with a WebUI are your best options. With current bandwidth availability, the Wii will under perform as a BT client.

What do you expect from a furry?

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I know the basics but no strategy at all :rofl:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Watch chess streamers on Twitch and you'll pick up a thing or two.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not to mention there's an infinite number of chess games for every possible platform.
