Torrenting

[Motig]

Just spent 2 weeks in hospital and are now at home playing on computer as you do. Discovered one of those torrenting sites and am amazed at whats avaliable. I can now fully understand why people download- theres shows on there I've never heard of and we've got sky here. BBC documentaries etc - now wondering Do I become a pirate?

Download a program like bittorrent, go to a site like thepiratebay and download the torrent file. Its all pretty automatic from there.
Things to note are: seeders are people uploading.
Leechers are other people downloading.
You will get faster download speeds from torrents with lots of seeders.
Its a good idea to limit your upload speed so you don't exceed your bandwidth.

If you use pirate bay use the direct download links rather then the torrents

Yify torrents has heaps of movies

Direct download links dont get picked up by your isp

Torrent files are illegal under the current law and your isp will issue you notices about them

A way to get around it is with a seed box and download your torrents onto the seed box and then download it via ftp

I can provide links to a seedbox service if need be

its roughly around $20 a month and the speed to download onto the seedbox is nuts, also downloading directly off the seed box you will get the highest speed your line allows as you are getting it direct from one source :p

FFS propaganda does work. Torrents aren't illegal. Copying is not stealing. Copying copy-write material can break the copy-write law.

I personally dont download....
But...... I do simply watch what I want online for free :bleh:

Fastpasstv <----- google this.

You can just stream (like youtube) any TV show or movie ever made. (well the ones worth watching anyway.) All you have to do is put up with all of the pop up ads and hit play :cool:
This will eat into your data cap as its roughly 1gb for a high def movie.

edit: and FFS do not follow any of the pop up ads if you value your computer!

[Dave Lobster]

Your ISP isn't watching your activity, regarding torrents. Your ISP couldn't give a shit.
Rianz is.
If you steer clear of kiddy pop music like Lady Gaga/Justin Beeber/Beyonce, you should be fine.

They're watching for mac addresses uploading. They pay $25 for every notice they send out. They're not wasting those $25 charges.

They're also not watching mobile activity, so you can download via mobile to your heart's content.

I download the internet

Spank its little bottom then throw whats left to the poor

I dont buy the arguments , Why is it the open source comunity can produce movies of equal quality and release then ,,,for free????

I think filestube is a better option, you download from the servers, rather than sharing like for torrents, so nobody can tell what linux distro you're downloading!

[Akzle]

piratebay.orgy sais the answer is yes.
fuck the corporate world.

Try isohunt.com (http://isohunt.com/)

now wondering Do I become a pirate?

Guaranteed you already are! Dub a cassette, VHS, DVD? remove ads from a recorded TV show, movie, radio song? Hell even transfer a song to an iPod couple years back! then...

On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by a federal special agent on state breaking-and-entering charges in connection with systematic downloading of academic journal articles from JSTOR.[9][10][11][12] Federal prosecutors eventually charged him with 2 counts of wire fraud and 11 violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[13] carrying a maximum penalty of up to 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine plus forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.[14]

After facing charges for two years, on January 11, 2013, Swartz was found dead in his Crown Heights, Brooklyn apartment where he had hanged himself.[15][16][17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz)

Persecuted for downloading academic fuckin journals whilst the rest of the world get a slap on the wrist... Fuckin tragic R.I.P.

[gwigs]

Make sure you use some kind of protection if you are downloading,get yourself a program like Peerblock,it hides your address from those who are out to catch pirates AARRRGGGHH.

[Brian d marge]

Don't buy sony BMG or any of that corporate shite , its OK for them to fk u over, sht products over priced, but when their business model comes under threat,,,,,,,,,
Open source all the way......and now I don't pay for sex , so the prostitute wouldnt be paid,,
....off now to steal more BBC booty
Haarrrhaaaaa

With regards to the 3 strike law....

If say, I download 3 different files on the same day, can I be pinged with 3 separate strikes for each file?

Or is it once you've had one strike, it cancel all previous copyright infringements and the potential for another strike and you will only get another one if you download illegally after receiving the first strike notice?

EG: I download Batman, Spiderman and Superman on the same day. A week or so later, I get a notice for Batman. Does this mean all previously downloaded files (ie: Spiderman & Superman) up to that day are now immune from giving me a strike?

I think that made sense....


Cause if it doesn't work like that, who's to say a person downloads a 3 track EP and gets 3 separate notices within the time frame?

[bogan]

iirc there is 28 days after each offense for you to receive the notice, only after than time can you be 'struck' again.

Yeah but what's stopping them sending out a notice for Superman on day 1 Spiderman on day 29 and Batman on day 57? (28 days apart) even though they were all downloaded on the same day?

The rule I just explained, evidently poorly though :bleh:

Ah I see.

So for someone who may or may not torrent, if they have their torrent client set up to route all traffic through a paid VPN service like BTguard or PIA, what is the chance of them being caught by copyright holders and getting an infringement notice. Hypothetically speaking of course, for the sake of the internet.

Smokeu or Azkle will know the answer to this for sure.

Not sure, I'd expect it to be, I download the odd thing through tpb's magnet links without fear.

Those cunts will tell you they know the answer for sure, but neither seem of sound mind at times, and all the time, respectively.

I haven't really looked into it so take it as you will but from what I've heard if you use Piratebay's magnet links they can't actually see what you're downloading unless A) they're part of the seeder/leecher community or B) they're inspecting your packets to see the data within (which I believe is illegal)

I've read that the copyright holders/whoever is hired to find people downloading illegal material set up 'honeypot' trackers and find people connected to that tracker by their IP and then talk to the ISP about sending out infringement notices.

No ads and only watch what you want to watch.

Anyone able to explain these magnet links?

[Scuba_Steve]

Anyone able to explain these magnet links?

best of my knowledge their simply hashtags.
No file info is contained within, their not restricted by filenames, no file is downloaded it's a direct p2p in a way you hit that magnet link & download starts.

[Disco Dan]

Most people getting notices are those downloading music - usually one pube beiber or other teenage rubbish.... your highly unlikely to get pinged for downloading Glenn Miller...

But IT IS BAD MKay !
