Gaming torrent downloading

[Urza]

Comcast is US only so even if they do it won't affect anyone outside of the US, plus no ISP at the moment has. If you do get paranoid and if/ when they do implement DPI a easy solution to the problem is to just setup VPN+Sock5 or even a RPD (or secretly use your neighbours wifi without anyone knowing).Uh, no?

Virgin Media (in your home country) was one of the first to implement DPI. In the coming years it's going to become more and more prevalent as piracy becomes more and more mainstream.

In addition, a VPN-based solution only works if you both A) have access to a VPN B) (usually) want to kill your down speeds.

ISPs don't really care for what you do they just want your money, who's to blame are the owners of the material or copyright enforcing groups.
Who pressure the ISPs into implementation of anti-infringement methodology.

Pff Usenet isn't that good loads of better and free hosts out there.

1) Native support for encryption.
2) Max your download speed on every connection.
3) An abundance of robust and distinct clients. Really your only non-shit solution for file sharing sites is jDownloader, and while from a functionality standpoint it's not awful, the interface and workflow looks like it was designed by a piece of vomit.

The only reason not to use usenet is if you're piss poor and can't afford the peanuts a month for access.

What other method of filesharing can ensure that the files will be persistent for 2+ years and don't have to be 'maintained' by the sharer?

@Urza Virgin media being 1 of many ISPs out there who have bothered too impliment DPI to which there are several competitors who offer high speeds and no DPI.

Though some VPNs do lower speeds if you know what your doing you can easily speeds that are equal to or even better then what you get with your ISP plus a vpn isn't hard to get at all you just need the ability to use A) your brain and B) google.

If you really must have ultimate protection + encryption here's a nice setup: double vpn; socks5 chains; rpd; ssh tunneling. I merely suggested jdownloader as a download manager to which i thing it's a good one too, if you don't like it's gui you can always cmd line it. There are many other managers out there and jd is just 1.

Why pay for something when there's always a free solution?

@cracker I've downloaded files older then 2 years on file sharing sites which some maybe be because of the sharer but some are due to just people keep downloading it or they use a good host.

Why pay for something when there's always a free solution?

Because the amount of money is so incredibly insignificant, and the speed you'll get destroys anything from MU/Rapidshare/MF/etc?

TBH it doesn't matter if you do use usenet or free hosts cause they're both good i just prefer other hosts imo but that's me, plus i get crazy speeds with all of this so i don't mind as long as i get what i want.

You want speed eh? Get yourself a server with a 1Gbit down/ uplink port

Because you get what you paid for. You want a crappy slow download that's insecure, then good, you didn't pay a cent for it so who cares.

 

[bwillb]

90% of the time, they won't notice and/or care what you download. Most action will come from sharing. And that that point, they essentially give your ISP a cease and desist order, which your ISP passes on to you. if you keep sharing the protected file after that, it can result in either your ISP dropping you, or fines by whatever copyright lawyer is cashing in on that particular copyright.

first off shh about usenet...

downloading torrents is like playing russian roulette especially in england.

A few years back a law firm called davenport and lyons teemed up with a french solicitor who was barred from the french justice system for extorsion, he and this law firm now known as ACS law sent thousands of people threatening letters ( you can read the gumpf here)

https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&a...8EYWUjAeVuonEBA

what they did was they sent people a 19 page document demanding £400 because people got caught downloading illegal torrents for game like most famously
codemasters colin mcrae dirt.

1 woman got fined £10000 because she didnt even show up at court.

I dunno about in AUS but in UK they are hammering down on people downloading something that infringes copyright. your only safe bet is SSL because any ISP can packet sniff the first couple blocks of unencrypted packet, then they got you by the balls, In most cases they will send you a letter and if you keep doing it then who knows what they will do, the worst thing they can do is send your information to the rights holder and then you get sued.

I did a 5 minute search on google and found out this about AUS with the great firewall of australia, really they could just filter out any site that held torrents..

Only safe options for the moment are usenet but I wont tell you anything about that, as for torrents using SSL well that doesnt work because both end have to use SSL and whats stopping somone like davenport and lyons noting down people's IP's and then sending you a demand notice for $700 or face court action. most people would pay it.

Also just to note people who did not even download anything but had their wifi hacked still got accused for downloading illegal stuff, hence the 80yr old couple got sent letters for downloading gay porn.

Are you one of those people who go "I was into that band before they were popular"?
Also what, you think the authorities haven't heard of usenet? You think that because someone says it on a forum they will all suddenly find out about it? Talk about being naive... Also if you really did a '5 minute google search'... (wow it took you that long?) then you would have known how easy it is for anyone to bypass the filter based on test results, oh and people bypass the filter in china, go figure.

You mean that thing thats been around since the inception of the internet? Kinda like IRC in the way that there's mad ways to pirate in there, that are a lot better than other more popular/commercial means, but they've stayed out of major media coverage, yet are still booming with opportunities? THAT usenet?

Yea, just read what was said above me

lol @ the above 2 comments so much negativity, the less said about usenet the better and the more focus on P2P the better that way usenet will be around alot longer.

and yes I know how long usenet has been around

I was gonna leave it at that but this guy antwill needs a full explanation

1) no I am not one of those people "I liked a band first"
2) I know authorities know about usenet, just read the headlines with the bribes to the RIAA for instance
3) no I never said anything about people saying on a forum and it will get clamped down, the more talk of usenet mans more naive pricks like you joining usenet, and that means the focus on usenet will be greater which we dont need
4) do you have anger managment issues? I know they can be bypassed reading about filter chages is the best source of info if they are gonna find it.

well I thought my post was rather informative and all this anger just proves your a dumbass, stay on torrents and get fined WHEN not if you get caught.

I could have the fastest server in the world, won't help when the fastest consumer pipe available here is 50Mb down.

I'm okay with 6MB/s though. Free hosts can't even keep up with that

 

[Deleted-247497]

just use rapidshare/megaupload, i have heard from many that its the safest

 

[juggernaut911]

rapidshare

Spoiler: My face as I read "Rapidshare" from your post

Megaupload is the best 1click host for free users. RS sucks but it's pretty common. Some sites are forcing HF but that screws us free users.

agreed, if you a free user megaupload is by far the best, but one time a dude gave me a free rapidshare account...god it was amazing....

and use jdownloader, it downloads all for you, enters captcha on megaupload, and extracts all the .rar filez

The only reason not to use usenet is if you're piss poor and can't afford the peanuts a month for access.

Or you are on decent FTP sites.

Constant 10-100mbyte+ (not mbit)/sec downloads and archives (on some sites) going back to the late 90s.

True enough. Most aren't that lucky though.

Oh man you're hilariously stupid. Please keep up the good work, I enjoy your funny comments... oh wait you weren't joking...

You seriously believe people don't know about usenet? Don't make me laugh.

"The focus on usenet will be greater which we don't need" I knew it! You ARE one of those people! For your information, seeing as you want to come off as knowledgeable, the only reason so many people don't go with usenet is because it costs money and they are pirates... why would they want to pay to get something when they have a problem with paying for something in the first place. Also you should make use of a spell checker next time. Maybe while you're at it, look up what sarcasm is too.

 

[Schizoanalysis]

You ARE one of those people!

No one cares. Get over it.

The issue was not whether or not anyone cared, but simply that he was in denial.
Also to bring this topic back on topic, OP, I have known plenty of friends who got letters for downloading games, nothing came out of it. They are mainly just scare tactics.
