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?

How to never miss an episode with BitTorrent and RSS.

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

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

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

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

i don't understand bittorrent. :-(((( i can never seem to work it.

― nathalie barefoot in the head (stevie nixed), Saturday, 12 March 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Nine times out of ten, if you can't get it to work, it seems to be a firewall/ports problem, if that helps any. (With me on my old computer, it was also a processor/RAM problem, but upgrading to a modern computer solved that.)

I'd also love to find a sports site, pref baseball -- last year I couldn't even find any World Series games, which I thought would be, you know, everywhere.

suprnova used to occasionally have football games, Steve, but I don't know whose tracker they were on -- it may still be out there.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 12 March 2005 15:29 (nineteen years ago) link

stuff i still don't fully understand:

this 'trackers' thing and how it works
why i never get a green circle (only yellow) despite port forwarding thru my router config
if there's a way to queue up torrents automatically?
seeding after/if you've closed the client window

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Saturday, 12 March 2005 15:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Trackers are the things that moderate the transfers -- the torrent is registered on such-and-such a tracker, various people run the torrent on their machines, and chat up the tracker to see who else is out there with what they need.

The configuration stuff and everything, I'm no good at fixing -- I just kind of tinkered with my settings randomly until it worked, and as soon as I tried using a different client, it stopped working except at a snail's pace.

A lot of clients ought to let you queue up automatically -- BitComet is what I use despite some security concerns (but like I said, when I switched clients, it barely worked), and you can either run a crapload of torrents at once, or set a maximum number of downloads of three, let's say, and once it finishes one it'll move on to the next.

I don't think you can seed if you close the client, but I could be wrong about that.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 12 March 2005 16:06 (nineteen years ago) link

couldn't there be a slsk-style app that lists available torrents either hosted online and on users machines, and it's able to search for multiple sources of the torrent as you download it, as BT does - but i find the BT clients themselves not very well designed. will try and suss Azureus more tho i think.

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Saturday, 12 March 2005 18:04 (nineteen years ago) link

(thanks MP)

i just fiddled around with the port forwarding thing on my router, which is something i have no idea what im doing just followerd in structions on some website, like opening port 6881-6999 to my computer and holy shit my speeds shot up from 10kb/s to as high as 225kb/s sometimes. now im getting one documetary at 75kb/s, and some other one at 30kb./s

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 12 March 2005 19:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Please could someone tell me where I can find the recent Shield and Deadwood episodes?

― sexy waitress connie stevens (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 22:56 (nineteen years ago) link
