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

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

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
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!

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!

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

And pigs fly.

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...
