i can't burn it, but i opened the torrent just to see if what rate i would get & right now its only going at 6 or 7kb... so maybe its just the number of people leeching combined with your cable speed?


i have bittorrent too & have yet to have any problems

bittorrent isnt a program, it's a method of file sharing. Whatever program you're using is crap, get Azureus. I use it all the time.

Question

Ok it has been brought to my attention by a girl that there is a program called Bittorrent but it's also a method of file sharing........ and anyway that program is bad if it has a trial expiry setup.

This torrent = vast improvement over VHS Dusseldorf bootleg!

I believe there is a program called Bittorrent. Very basic.

And even Azureus says "... days left" when I start up a torrent. Especially if it's a huge dvd torrent. After a while this changes to a more accurate estimate.

Azureus eats way too much memory up. I use BitTornado for all my needs.

And yeah, for torrents like that I sometimes do get real slow speeds but they pick up and slow down every hour etc due to your connection/ if you are behind a firewall / seeders available / tracker it's hosted on.

Just the way it goes.

Oh whoops I assumed that he was talking about some expiration warning that said "days left" but maybe he was talkin about the download ETA.

Yeah it does. I'll try tornado if you guys like it. Azureus takes like 4 minutes to start up for me.

i use azureus but i might change if bittornado is that much better...

i don't have any problems with memory though, it loads pretty quick for me.

and just to recap it says you have 35 days left cause it's a huge file and you have a slow connection. it won't take that long but it will take you a few days. it may be worth asking for a b+p instead

I use http://www.utorrent.com/

It uses max 4 mb of ram and the file is less than 100 Kb. Little cpu usage too.

Azareus starts in like 15 seconds for me. Yours might be takign longer if you have it set to check and install updates/plugins upon startup.

I have 768MB of memory on the box it is running on...no problems with memory what-so-ever.

I am not converting! So there...

Azureus starts in about 3 seconds on my computer, it loads SafePeer (PeerGuardian add-on to Azureus) after the program has actually been loaded...
I have a AMD 64 3200+ and 1GB of RAM, so it might be that, Azureus used to load really slow for me, I mean like 30-40 seconds, I think they may have fixed a bug or something.

sounds about right...its running on my 1.8GHz AMD machine right now. What does the SafePeer add-on get you?

BTW -- The sound on this new torrent for this show fucking rocks. A little more color-bleeding than my VHS tape ("Death Mosh"), but the image is sharper as well.

I will have to reply and give more kudos to the guy who re-did the audio. I also noticed his song menu is correct, despite some of the incorrect song titles given on-screen.

Forgot how much the outro of Ruby fucking rocks on this show....

Also makes me realize that regardless of whom ends up on bass or second guitar, I am just DYING for Jimmy and Billy to rock-out SP songs again.

Yeah, I never tried Azareus, but went to BitTornado afterusing BitTorrent for about a year. Fuck Braham Cohen (or whatever his name was) and his shitty t-shirts.
