I'm trying to wean myself from Kazaa and heard that Bitorrent was a good alternative. Now that I have it installed, hoe do I share files? Someone told me that you have to go to special websites that have torrent downloads, but how do I find them? Please help, I'm lost....

I would recommend not using the default bit torrent client, go download Azureus, it allows you to limit upload and a lot of other things while still downloading.

snorkius - how safe are these p2p networks/sites - for those of us who employ pedestrian-level antivirus and firewalls?

I'm using Shareaza. It's a combo gnutella, edonkey, torrent client.

I've used TorrentTopia for its mix support of various Torrent sources.

But yeah, Torrents are the way to go now!

As Silverpig once said, they can't stop us now!

What can I say, you were right about BitTorrent, or Torrents in general! :wink:

In return I expect oral pleasures.

Well, you can still get the ip of the downloaders from the torrents but I'm sure there're easy ways to spoof those.

Oh god, once midterms are over maybe... It's pretty crazy right now.

I'm having problems with my torrents. It seems as though my school is blocking p2p communications somehow. I connect to their network at 11Mbps, and web pages and their associated downloads are lightning fast. However, any p2p stuff will not download at all. I can search the networks, and select files I want, but the download never starts or is limited to a trickle. What gives?

Read the first link I gave you...

IMO, if you d/l from school, the ports used bittorrent <font color=red>by</font color=red> will be closed...

I dunno... I know a lot of torrent sites employ ip filters and such... I'm no network tech, but there's ALWAYS a way around things :)

Well I asked the schools IT people. They sadi that they do block all torrent, gnutella, kazaa, ect... as they find them. However, it turns out that my school has a hub here for direct connect. I'm getting about 600 KB per secong downloads...SWOOT!!!!!

Great!
DC++ is an excellent alternative when Torrents don't work. Just gotta have lots of sharing space, which sucks.

Kind of figured it was, but wanted to be sure before saying I knew. However, I don't know if they use it or not.
