Is it me or is Azureus sucking up tons of memory? My brand new machine really strugggles whenever I run it.

yes, it's a memory hog. did you upgrade to the newest version and the latest java?

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 21 May 2005 13:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Nope, does it make a big difference? I'm now thinking of switching to another program..

Bitcomet is very good and takes up relatively little memory.

― L (Leee), Saturday, 21 May 2005 14:39 (eighteen years ago) link

it seems to take up less resources. also it has support for distributed trackers which is where bittorent is probably going to go soon (making it more p2p and less website-hosted tracker dependent). but installing the update made it crash immediately.

Bah more sites shut down. In particular, my most used:

Could someone offer me a membership to IndieTorrents and/or DimeADozen ? Purty please? Email me, maybe I have something to trade you may want. thank you.

― leonard (tk), Friday, 8 July 2005 05:06 (eighteen years ago) link

you really really don't want an indietorrents invite believe.

What's with Pirate Bay's immunity from the law? I really like their letters page.

― leonard (tk), Friday, 8 July 2005 06:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I have an oink invite, if some one wants to trade an invite for another site. I already have indietorrents.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 22:55 (eighteen years ago) link

what's so great about indietorrents? use one slsk.

― president carter loves repetition (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 23:00 (eighteen years ago) link

torrents are quicker?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 14 July 2005 00:36 (eighteen years ago) link

not always.

― president carter loves repetition (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 14 July 2005 00:38 (eighteen years ago) link

torrents are generally quicker for me, also you don't get someone buggering off halfway through a download & leaving you hanging ie i can leave my computer to do its thing & go do something else. having said that slsk kills all just for the sheer scope - one of my favourite things is just putting in random words & seeing what songs come out, discovered loads of interesting things that way.

― zappi (joni), Thursday, 14 July 2005 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Is anyone having severe trouble with torrents at the moment? I mostly just use them for 1 or 2 tv shows, but none of the files seem to play anymore and they have weird extension names, etc.

― Felix Leiter (nordicskilla), Thursday, 14 July 2005 01:55 (eighteen years ago) link

also you don't get someone buggering off halfway through a download & leaving you hanging

depends how many people are seeding (if any). sometimes there'll just be one seeder and he'll go offline for days. it also depends on both of your connection/transfer speeds.

― president carter loves repetition (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 14 July 2005 02:00 (eighteen years ago) link

it's the same with slsk: sometimes your download is 0.5 kbps and sometimes it's 60.

i'm a bit concerned that my downloads and (to a lesser extent) uploads seem a lot slower than they used to. i've recently installed SP2 - could this be the problem? something to do with firewalls?

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:19 (eighteen years ago) link

SP2 limits the amount of outgoing connections you can make to 10, or something like that. I found it didn't significantly affect my d/l speeds, but if your problems started after you installed sp2, that's probably it. You can pretty easily google up some utilities that'll hack your system back into allowing more connections, but I've heard they might fuck with your stability and shit.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 2 September 2005 08:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone know of any post-tvtorrents sites? Preferrably something w/ a forum to request things.

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Saturday, 10 September 2005 21:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Depends on the show. m i n i n o v a . o r g seems to be the new supr. Some shows are collected on x t v i . c o m.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 11 September 2005 01:01 (eighteen years ago) link

but these only seem to collect very recent stuff...

two weeks pass...

Does anyone know of a torrent site that has the new Curb Your Enthusiasm stuff on? I've tried a few of the ones listed above but nothing doing. Please help. Please.

― Affectian (Affectian), Sunday, 2 October 2005 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually just found it on piratebay.org so ignore that pleading, sorry.

― Affectian (Affectian), Sunday, 2 October 2005 23:04 (eighteen years ago) link

What's the best TV site now? I'm trying to get S2 of Entourage finished and the torrents from mininova/xtvi have been slow and/or unreliable. Now I can't even get tvtorrents.com to load.

Alternately, if anyone would like to gmail me eps 2x02 through 2x12 or 13, that'd be groovy.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Monday, 3 October 2005 00:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Entourage is at x t v i .com

Goddammit why aren't the new Season 3 eps of Corner Gas available anywhere? Not even that dude in Yorkton with the lame encoding seems to be at it. Grrr.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 3 October 2005 03:21 (eighteen years ago) link

They have the eps you seek, as well!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 3 October 2005 03:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't have any luck with xtvi. The torrents that would download were all hideously slow. I probably just waited too long - a couple of seeders and a couple of shares wouldn't add up to much speed.

LimeWire is filling in my holes nicely, surprisingly.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Monday, 3 October 2005 03:31 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm trying to find Line of Fire episodes (not the Clint movie, but an FBI/mob drama on ABC a few years ago, had post-24 Leslie Hope). D3m0n0!d has it, but alas, it's dubbed in francais.

er demonoid down, what to do

patience, it's a hardware thang apparently

― do you want to be happier? (whatever), Tuesday, 22 September 2009 21:16 (fourteen years ago) link

isohunt/mininova still up, otherwise it's private trackers

― do you want to be happier? (whatever), Tuesday, 22 September 2009 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link

MySp133n and Th3B0x are tops.

any suggestions for UK TV sites? UKnova kinda sucks - my main complaint is that they miss stuff all the time and the files are all in too-low resolutions. i'm after comedy and music/culture documentaries...

― mikebee (BATTAGS), Wednesday, 23 September 2009 00:39 (fourteen years ago) link

any suggestions for UK TV sites?

The aforementioned Th3B0x is terrific. Lots of documentaries turn up on mvgr0up too.

To be fair though, USENET binary traffic has been exploding now with some of the larger torrent sites going offline. I pretty much grab everything from there now.

― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 23 September 2009 01:18 (fourteen years ago) link

who do you go through for access and how much do you pay?

― mikebee (BATTAGS), Wednesday, 23 September 2009 17:41 (fourteen years ago) link

both have open registration (b0x & mvr)

― picked up the sneer-slack (sciolism), Wednesday, 23 September 2009 23:38 (fourteen years ago) link

pls explain 'usenet binary traffic' for noob :(

― cozwn, Wednesday, 23 September 2009 23:53 (fourteen years ago) link

$16 a month for unlimited bandwidth from Supernews.

USENET = old school decentralized discussion forums. Home to the worst sort of spam and Internet trolling, but like a good cockroach a near-impossible protocol to kill. Check some of the other usenet posts here then search on NZB files.
