    I don't see why everyone is so down about Bit torrent sites being shut down....there is more than one way to share a file. I use Win MX.

    I agree lots of linnks are way outdated. I'm new to torrents. Can anybody recommend a site (no log in members only) where I can just experiment with different things. Also if any sites host Jpop PV (mtv music videos) that would be awesome if someone could hook me up. Also winmx? Isn't that stuff dangerous and regulated and full of viruses?

    I just wanted to tell, that since i posted my last message (14. december) I have managed to get a very nice speed and very few memory problems.

    This is a very short guide:
    1) Forward ports
    2) Disable firewalls (just for the forwarded ports..)
    3) Be sure that ALL firewalls are disabled - Not just the automatic XP-firewall
    4) Get a good BitClient. Azureus used too much memory on mine, so I use BitComet.
    5) Set upload speed to about 80% of max. For some reason 100% doesnt work well, and 0% may limit dl.
    6) Find a good site with many seeders and few leachers. Even though leachers normally upload, my experience is that too many leachers slow the dl.
    7) Stop surfing and shut all other programs down.

    Number 1-3 are obvious.
    Number 4 and 6 are much more important than most people think (I guess...(I dont know what people think!))

    Good luck!

    I like Azureus since its the standard that everybody seems to know but it seems to act funny in two ways. First once you start it up it automatically clears up the space it will need for the file, example if you are downloading a 700MB file it will take up that space immediately. Second, it seems to download files in a non-linear way, so it jumps around downloading parts from different files before completing one. I'll have to check out this bitcomet since its getting a lot of mentions.

    I'm no expert on port forwarding, etc.

    But a site worth trying is www.torrentreactor.to

    it was previously .net but it says that domain has been hijacked.

    hi, i found this info out a while ago - i cant remember if it was on this site, but it realy improved my download speed. i use bitornado but i'm sure it'll work on the other bittorent progs.

    here goes:

    start ur download as per usual

    click on 'details'

    and copy what ever is in the 'announce url' box

    click ok

    now go to 'advanced'

    go to 'external announce'

    paste the announce url there

    click ok

    press the exteral announce button again and just pree 'ok' - do this 5 - 8 times.

    then press manual anounce 5 - 8 times.



    this should improve ur download speed cause its helped with me. if youve got any other q's ask someone else cause i dont know anything else about bittorents. All i know is the steps ive given above help download speeds...


    hope this helps someone

    Razco911 -

    if you're looking for ISOs try www.isohunt.com

    Usually a good site - but at the rate they're being closed down, it'll probably be offline by the time I finish typin this!

    Good luck mate

    I know this thread has a few old posts but... this one made me laugh:
    'Hello im new here, can any 1 tell me where i might go to download files like music albums and games please.'
    Hehe.
    yes indeed.

    Here is a link that you should try BEFORE asking a question, please. There are so many repeated questions here!

    I just thought it can never be said too much.
    HAS ANYONE HEARD OF GOOGLE?

    ptwenty, those chareacters were examined, the characaters are chinese not japanese they are not the same but similar. the first character translates into a fruit -persimmon the secont is the character for women and the last white character translates into improve. thats the best I can do for ya.
