Gaming Where do you get your ISOs?

[Rayout]

The nice thing about private torrents is the fact that they have vast archives of early releases that are still seeded. Still if you've been keeping up with the scene then its not a big deal, but sites like BC still have their role

Got damn good download speeds on torrents, usually 3-4mb after about 30min. Transferred to usenet this past week, I got tired of seeding the things. 7mb down and loving it.

Edit: lol @ Horatii. Someone doesn't know why people use usenets or torrents. Those who download do not download one or two things.

Spell ti right, kid. Also, we all know you don't download one r two things. But you don't download that much in a month, to make it needed that you pay for it. Fact. Unless you were in jail for the past 30 years.

??????do forgive me for the mispelling. You should also check your spelling and your grammar. $14.99 is just fine the stuff I download daily. It only enhances the studio and parties that go on. Let's see, $14.99 for one dvd, or all the dvds you could ever want?

Or not pay anything and use a torrent site?

i use usenet and have been for a few months now

its really handy as i download every good movie (upto 4.7gb) and every good wii game (4.7gb) and also 360 games (upto 8gb) and also bits and bats like applications and pc games

i moved from using torrents and was tired of waiting 2 days+ to download a game when i can download it in 3 hours

i use newshosting unlimited which is about £7 ($15) a month and it maxes out my connection all the time

usenet is the best thing to use imo but paid ftp's are also good but cost alot

Monthly charges...shiiiiiiiiiit.

It's like $12 a month for unlimited download. That means for $12 a month you can download hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars worth of software, music, movies, etc. at the full speed of your bandwidth.

I use verizon as an isp and they have a news server that comes with your subscription free. It just has a low retention. (The files don't stay up for as long as a pay service). But since I usually D/L 'em the day they come out or the day after it doesn't matter to me.

Who the hell actually NEEDS that much shit? I use torrents to get exactly what I want. Simple.


Monthly charges is bullshit fro stuff like that. Don't try to hold a debate about it, there's NO positive point about it.

Me. I do. I need that much stuff. I have a modded Wii, a modded 360, and a DivX compatible dvd player.

So, dvdrips, 360 isos, wii isos, I like to actually be able to download them without worrying if the file is complete or if I am connectable with the seeder, if he doesn't have his ports fowarded right, or if his computer crashes. Get stuck with 50kbps or even less...

I'm a member of a private tracker where I get good speeds but it could get shut down at any minute just like oink and demonoid.


Torrents are for noobs.

Plus, guess where the uploaders on torrent sites get the releases? Usenet/FTP.

If you can't afford $12 a month or are too cheap well then, yeah, torrents are the way to go I guess...but good luck getting what you want when you want...and have fun leaving your torrent going for days waiting for leechers to hop on to get your ratio back up so you don't get banned from the tracker...(unless you just leech off public sites...which is even more pathetic...)

You obviously have NO idea what you're talkign about. You can get ALL that stuff at high download speeds on black cats. Plus, paying 19 a month is more expensive than just renting the game from Gamefly.

Please, do your research BEFORE you make idiotic posts liekt hat one.

I don't pay a dime for usenet because it comes free with my ISP, as I've said in previous posts. And you can only get games from blackcats...Do you even know what blackcats is? I'm going to go search on there for you and see if you are even a member(edit: i just searched for hiratai on blackcats and there is no user with that name...hiratai = pwned)... And $19 a month for usenet is insane. It's about $10. Which is like 30 cents a day. Apparently you need to do some research.

gamefly doesn't let you keep the games forever do they? And can you rent as many games as you want from them at a time? No....

Oh my bad, I didn't know that half the stuff you download originally can be downloaded elsewhere. Usenet is for impatient assholes. Seriously, WHY would you pay for something that's already pirated? That's retarded.


Plus, before you stick your pricky little nose into a conversation,l learn what we were talking about. We were solely discussing video games. Not movies, not software.

Go outside for a change, douche.

Also, are you capable of having a discussion without resorting to name calling?

 

[Zesto]

I use torrents. I tried using Usenet for a week, but I still prefer private tracker torrents.

 

[EarthBound]

Usenet if i want a game quickly.

Private torrents if i feel like waiting/uploading for a few days.

 

[gEist]

rapidshare?

Way to ruin another thread, Hiratai.

 

[Taras]

i use oprah's magic secret ™ and focus my energy (warning, may cause gas) and visualize a romz and send that to space and the next day Jesus delivers it while wearing a UPS outfit.

Blackcats till I remember my verizon usenet password.

That said, hiratai signed up on blackcats with a different username, nuff said.

I usually do, on ALL sites. There's only two sites using this user name.

 

[webjedi]

UsenetÂ

Giganews + newzbin.com + NewsLeecher/Supersearch

That's exactly me too!!!

Hiratai - obviously you have a strong opinion on this one.

But different strokes for different folks. I find it great that I can pay for those services and be able to easily access almost any game/movie/pcis whenever I want. I completely understand the "free" is better attitude. But I have no need to keep up share ratio - I can download 300 GB in one month (which I do) and have no worries about sharing files.

How did you not know that blackcats only has games then?

If you have an account there then copy and paste the second news announcement on the front page from oct 31..

For those that use usenet. Does ssl make it so my ISP can't track my bandwidth usage or what I'm downloading?

I think bandwidth monitoring is based on physical activity on the line. I'm pretty sure there's no software way of hiding how much data you send/receive.

Your ISP and Usenet provider do not usually monitor data transferred through usenet. If you are wary just use SSL anyway. My understanding is that they occassionally monitor how much data you transfer at different times but not what that data is.

This differs from p2p where anyone can join your tracker (ie, copyright enforcement groups) and know that you are leeching (and simultaneously sharing in the case of p2p) infringing data.

Right. But with the SSL encryption his ISP won't know what he's doing with that bandwidth. This is especially good)actually pretty much necesarry) for when you are using, say, a school/campus' internet while at college.

Which is another arguement against torrents...Some ISPs will not allow you download .torrent files. And some ISPs will throttle your bandwidth when using torrent clients (like Comcast who is being sued for doing it..)by sending you false data packets..

And yet another gigantic arguement against torrents. lol!
