Any recommendations for places like Delirium, content-wise?

Hey, me too. I liked Shaun of the Dead better tho.

― adam (adam), Saturday, 13 November 2004 16:36 (nineteen years ago) link

so, like, the number of peers i have keeps fluctuating wildly between and i'm only sending tiny sizes at a time.. i feel that something's wrong even though downloading is a snap (this is w/torrents from shuntv)

Port forwarding is a headache.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 November 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't even figure out how to *use* bittorrent!

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 13 November 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

It's, uh, pretty easy. You open the file, and the program starts downloading whatever you're trying to grab (if there is anyone "seeding" it).

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 November 2004 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe no one was seeding, because nothing happened.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 13 November 2004 22:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, if it wasn't that, then it was something annoying that involves firewalls and port forwarding. That is a headache.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 November 2004 22:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Milo, the next best thing is that Crazy Mazey's place linked to at the top. It's mostly horror, but there's lots of other stuff too. I got a Bunuel movie and a Jodorowski movie there.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Sunday, 14 November 2004 07:01 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think "port forwarding" is my problem, because even with all my ports open (on both my computer and the one I'm sharing my connection with), I get the same behavior.

Unless somehow my ISP has a firewall set up? I don't think that's possible.

Thanks anyway folks.

gah, fucking azureus worked great until it did a self update, now, it no longer gives an option of where to save torrents, it just dumps them into it's own folder. What kind of stupid idea was that?

I mean to say, sites that have shows that soopernova and tvt0rr3nts don't have, e.g. "America's Next Top model."

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Sunday, 14 November 2004 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

http://www.btefnet.com/ is another source for TV torrents but I don't know if they offer much stuff that the others don't

― willdabeast, Monday, 15 November 2004 08:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm mostly excited because I finally got my ports forwarded properly. Oh, and I'm downloading at like 150 KiB/s.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 15 November 2004 10:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I really, really want to find a site that hosts episodes of Popworld. Channel 4 are such idiots with scheduling.

btn for general TV
red for music
ptp for general films
kg for arthouse films

all are elite private trackers, next to impossible to get invites for

― the grateful dead can dance (anagram), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 19:49 (four years ago) link

i'm over it, ok? i'm fucking over it. the bbs scene when i was 13 was fucking scene rats trading games that weren't any good and that nobody had time to play anyhow, and all these private prestige trackers, same shit different day. fuck digital capital, give me digital potlaches. what's the point of digging up some incredibly rare digital transfer if it's only available to an "elite" cadre of seedboxers whose primary concern in life is their ratio? the ones who hoard what they have are worse than the ones who steal everything that aren't nailed down and give nothing in return. upload it to youtube, or fuck, even just fucking sell it, ok?

― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 01:19 (four years ago) link

i ain't promising i'll buy it mind you but if i don't, that's my own damn problem.

― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 01:20 (four years ago) link

Like I said, I've had no trouble finding high-quality rips in the open web/torrents of literally anything I've ever wanted to see.

― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 01:31 (four years ago) link

well, if you don't want to see yahoo serious' first film, a documentary about the effects of the coal mining industry on australia, that's your problem

if on the other hand you have found a high-quality rip of "coal town" out in the open i would love a link

― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 26 March 2020 20:13 (four years ago) link

Just doing some deep googling, and ... is there a chance that it has never even been released on home video in any format? I can barely even find mention of its existence, period.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 March 2020 20:28 (four years ago) link

(btw, I totally saw Young Einstein in the theaters.)

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 March 2020 20:30 (four years ago) link

Coaltown doesn't seem to be available on any of the private trackers so yes, it's probably never been released.

In general though, if you're interested in anything vaguely obscure or underground you're not going to find it on public torrent sites. Those interested in Shinsuke Ogawa, for example, aren't going to get hold of his films anywhere except on KG or PTP.

― the grateful dead can dance (anagram), Thursday, 26 March 2020 20:34 (four years ago) link

I miss the W sites and was not cool enough/missed my chance to be on their successors, but tbh 95% of my listening these days is NTS radio and I should spend more on bandcamp (and then there's also spotify and 20 years of accumulated mp3s and 30 years of accumulated CDs), so what do I actually want to download GBs more music I'll never listen to for

― a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 26 March 2020 20:53 (four years ago) link

ogawa's a good example, there's so much cultural bias (anglophone in particular) implicit in what hits public torrent sites and what doesn't. i see the unavailability of certain works as a cultural barrier to be overcome, and the people on the private trackers behave more like it's a form of currency to be accumulated.

well, i'm not here to fix the world's problems, i don't even have time to watch narrative media these days, but i'll always find time to bitch and moan about things on the internet!

― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 26 March 2020 21:03 (four years ago) link

But it's only the people who are seeding Ogawa's films on private trackers who are overcoming that cultural barrier by making them available to other members. It's nothing to with "currency to be accumulated". I've built a healthy ratio on private trackers but I don't have a seedbox and never have.
