2009 AMA Supercross Review (torrent)

[kezzafish]

i'll only seed if there isn't many seeds and it's to do with bikes... for movies etc i just snatch and run lol. On a 40 gig cap at $100 a month with telstra cable... bloody fast. I regularly use it all so don't wanna waste too much of my cap on giving stuff away. The thing with torrents is you're giving stuff away as your gaining stuff so a 700mb download can easily use 1gig of your cap

Thanks Guys I good to know I had it sorta correct.
I plugged my laptop into the projector and streamed it over the home network with no lag whatsoever so watched it on the big screen! I know I could have put it on the harddrive over the hard wired gigabit side of the network but I wanted to see if I could just view whatever was in my downloads folder without the transfering hassles! Bloody good!!
I think I'm hooked on this torrent thing. Better than paying $70 bucks a month for sky. Download the F1 and WSBk's, a gig costs about $4 bucks at my Internet rate ($45 for 11 gig) and I can watch it whenever it suits. So I can catch the F1, WSBk or the MX1 when ever I like as long as I allow 3 or so hours for the torrent to download! Shit hot!

Now to get U torrent loaded on the central machine which is on all the time.

Is it reasonably secure from hackers???? I don't like the thought of the big wide world having access to my computer even when its only while downloading??

And do you guys seed all the time or take the torrent out of your torrent program as soon as its arrived in full???

Ahhhhh welcome to the world of torrents!

Ok seeding really depends, i seed for 1 day and then take them off, as uploading is the same as downloading, more you upload the higher your internet usage becomes. depends on your ISP i guess.

One thing you can do to protect your computer is to open what they call a "PORT" which let's say is a road that U torrent needs to conect to the internet, now if you open up that road not only will you get faster donwloads but will also be alot more stable, alot of people disable their firewall while they use U torrent or other torrent program, but if you only open the port that U torrent needs, then your firewall is still operational. I dont need to do any of this as i run a Mac and im am generaly pretty safe.

I read you can throttle your upload, which I did. Downloaded 708mb and up about 40mb, but I'll put it back to standard now that I have it sussed so the caring and sharing is equal, otherwise the whole thing screws up if we all download and don't upload!

Any oyther good torrent sites or is Mininova where its at??

One last question I think the WSBK was held last on the 17th at Kyalami, Results are up on WSBK site but no torrent yet!

How long do they usually take on average to come up as a torrent???

Go to mininova type in WSBK which should bring up all the torrents for WSBK showing the last upload, which was round 5. the center of the page will be the RSS feed just click on that subscribe, what this does is gives you a feed to the WSBK torrents, just click on the RSS link and it should show you if any new torrent has been uploaded.

As a general rule the quicker you upload the quicker you can download, assuming you're not using all available bandwidth.
