Can someone give me a brief explanation of Torrents? I mean like, what are they, can I get in trouble for getting jams this way :ohno:, can they give me computer herpes :ohno: , where do I get them, how do I get them, can they go into my itunes once I get them?
I really don't have a problem buying songs on itunes, I just hear a lot about these torrent thingys. Also, if I can't just push like 3 buttons to do this I have no interest, so if it is more difficult than that, mods please delete thread.
TIA

can they give me computer herpes :ohno:
Wichita computer fixer speculated a few weeks back that my computer got mumped up from the game torrents. Wasn't clear how :dubious: Saul was on that theory when he came down to check it out post-repair.

download utorrent. go to a website like btjunkie or something. search for what you want. click download torrent, and open it with utorrent. boom.
read comments on each torrent to make sure there is nothing wrong with it. try to get the most seeders and leechers possible.

Well, then you're clearly "respected".

Mods, I have no idea what this means either.
I did look at that btjunkie site. So, like if it says trusted, I should be ok, right? Also, I looked at one that had a "fake" vote. Assume I should probably stay away from stuff like that??? Also, once downloaded, can they be imported to itunes?
Thanks ew2x4, I appreciate the info even though your last post was probably mean, but I don't know for sure.

if you're downloading music/movies and it comes in an .exe file, run the other way.

Heard about these. I am pretty sure I am just going to keep paying a dollar per song. I have a feeling I would be posting a "Help Remove SF's Computer Herpes" thread very soon, if I even figured out how to download any in the first place.
Thanks

Music is the most risky thing to download, movies 2nd.
Child porn is probably right up there too, would have to ask saul about his deep internet days.

Yea if your going to navigate this kind of crap make sure to have software like malwarebytes to scan everything first.

I just downloaded utorrent recently. Reading the comments is important. They can tell you if the torrent, sucks or is invalid or someone got in trouble for copyright.

Hello torrenting friends.
Is it possible to torrent things like call of duty maps? (for xbox) I have no idea and google doesn't give me the answer.

ooo man, right it Hemmy's wheelhouse.

just don't use pirate bay
if you are super elite, you can get on private trackers and that is the safest way to visit the city of torrance

open registrations right now at demonoid.me if anyone is interested
-
broXcore, I would like to be super elite so if you can pm me an invite to some private trackers, I would appreciate it. This goes for any other super elites as well. Next time I'm in Manhattan, I will buy you a beer. And if you arent there, I will buy one and hide it somewhere so you can get it later.

I think demonoid is one of these. But I really don't know :dunno:
-
LOL at this. hilarious, you guys.
-
I really need a better place to find and download music. anybody? :embarrassed:
-
ya, i have gone in and out of phases for torrenting.
lately i'm back in it, but the only site i know of is pirate bay. please help with more sites. i'm willing to have good upload ratios. :)
p.s. remember how easy napster was. when i got dat broadband at haymaker hall first semester, bam! 15,000 songs.
-
yes,
yes,
and yes.
I use Vuze. It's a little more bloated than utorrent, but it allows me to transcode and stream to my Tivo and PS3 (and a lot of other devices)

I think they cut people who have a low share ratio :dunno:
-
the trick to noid is to DL crap that you don't actually want, but might be popular to keep your ratio up.
-
Registrations for demonoid are open again if anyone is interested. www.demonoid.me
-
private trackers are definitely the way to go. usually once you get onto one, you can get onto all of them. I'm on like 8.
-
Ivnvite? Might be able to trade once invites are opened again.
-
not sure if I have any invites to any of them or not. I would have to check when I get home. depends on what kind of trackers you're looking for really. also I'll only give invites out to people who actually know how to seed/build ratio/etc
-

What do you want an invite for? Demonoid registrations are open right now, so you don't need an invite.

Used to be on oink, currently on waffles and sceneaccess. Would love a What invite if you've got one. Waffles has been on lock for a whole now, but I do have an invite waiting. Also have like a 2:1 ratio on demonoid with quite a bit of activity. I also don't have an Internet connect at my house right now so we might want to table this for a later time, if you're interested.

What.cd changed my life. Well I guess oink did, but I was only on it for 6 months before it got taken down. Been on what since the beginning. If I ever get an invite I'll give it to an EMAW in this thread.

Torrents are so 4 years ago.

i downloaded an 80 gb collection of every animated disney movie for my kid, but the whole torrent thing is boring.
-
true story- what's the whole ratio thing all about w/ torrents?
-
true story- what's the whole ratio thing all about w/ torrents?
Ratio of downloaded to uploaded.
When you seed, you are uploading the file to people who are downloading (or some crap like that)

ya but wgaf?

I'm kind of talking out my ass here, but I think the private sites care because they want people seeding.

Explain it :dunno:

Stop using torrents.

I got an e-mail from the production company via cox because I downloaded "Up in the Air" once.

So demonoid is apparently donezo for a while. Does anyone have an invite to a similar site?
Pleeease? :crossfingers:

I don't know about invite-only torrent sites, but Kickass Torrents is very underrated.

Would like an invite to a torrent site. I usually would go to Starbucks or any place with free wifi and download a crap ton of stuff and do homework then when I was done and the downloads I would pack my crap up and walk away like I just robbed Hollywood.
-
Not a single person on goEMAW has an invite to a private torrent site? :blank:

I was using demonoid as well.

So, let's bring up torrents again now that the government is apparently aware of everything I google search for. How soon until someone comes knocking on my door because 90% of my google searches have the word "torrent" in them?
-
never

ha ha, I love reading my old comments. It builds my confidence.
