Torrent Help
hey, can someone teach me how to use torrents? I don't get it...do you have to download something to run them or what?

Re: Torrent Help
google is your friend , if you are looking for a program, most of the time a search will bring you to the homepage of the program you are searching. I personally use utorrent for all of my torrent downloads

Re: Torrent Help
I'd heard limewire is good. Does anybody have it, and if you do, is it reliable?

Re: Torrent Help
Limewire is illegal in all states (I dunno about U.K.) and it screws up your computer...

Re: Torrent Help
limewire is amazing.... and technical its not illegal.... some of the files people have on it maybe, but yet its just afile sharing program... and as long as you have virus protection its not gunna mess up computer, some files you dl may have a virus, but they are easily caught by your virus protection

Re: Torrent Help
Quote: Limewire and other file sharing software is legal. Using it to upload or download copyright protected media - music, videos, images, software - without the copyright holder's consent is illegal because it is theft. So...its basically illegal. Almost all ppl use it to download music...so its not a good thing to have.

It actually isn't just viruses you have to worry about, it's other things if you get my idea.

Re: Torrent Help
Well yeah you might accidentally download something you don't want to, but if you collapse ont he floor convulsing and crying because you caught a glimpse of some porn you didn't want, maybe you shouldn't have a torrent in the first place lol. (Btw that wasn't directed at you Kerstov, just people in general).
And limewire is perfectly legal fronzz, and it's up to the users to make sure they only share and download non-copyrighted material.
And I'll bet you've broken the law without even knowing it loads of times fronzz. I know it doesn't apply to you, but for example, did you know that throughout Europe, it's illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day?
Anywho, I kind of got off topic there lol...

Re: Torrent Help
Instead of talking about limewire, legal or illegal, it wasn't the question of this topic..
Torrents are a nifty little thing.. U can use several programs for it, some of the best are azureus and Bitlord, once you've downloaded a program you can start downloading torrent files, which I believe you can search with the program or just search google.
Search the file you would like to download on (for example) http://www.torrentreactor.net Once downloaded, open it with your torrent program and it will start downloading. That's about all there is to it! Have fun and enjoy!
Greetz, Wolvie
P.S. I do not recommend getting LimeWire by the way, but that's my personal opinion.

Re: Torrent Help
it is a file sharing system. you download a part of a file, and you share those pieces with other people downloading them.

Re: Torrent Help
Limewire is so easy it seems like it should be illegal, but its not!! I like it! The only problems I've had with it is that I can't have over 4 browser windows open at the same time. And I've never had a problem with accidently downloading porn. If one has ever come up, it has a warning with it.

Re: Torrent Help
No...limewire is indeed not illegal but pirated material distrubuted with limewire is. And face it, most people who use limewire are using it to get pirated material.

fronzz wrote: I have a question...What IS a torrent? I dont get that part.. To share a file or group of files, a person first creates a "torrent." This small file contains data about the files to be shared and about the tracker (the computer that coordinates the file distribution). People that want to download the file first obtain the torrent file for it, and connect to the specified tracker, which tells them from which other people to download the pieces of the file from.
So basically, a torrent file is the linking file between your computer and the computer(s) to download the wanted file from I'MNOTCRAZY wrote: anyone know where to get a CS2 or 3 torrent? That would depend on what you mean by CS2 or 3, I'm clueless here, sorry..

Re: Torrent Help
please don't conspire to do illegal activities from SF , it should not be happening here. So no talk about engaging in downloading illegal files or using keys that do not belong to you.
