Guest Banders Kennany Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Hey fellas, I'm at college and I think they have something in place to restrict file sharing (i.e. it goes sooo slow). I think what it is is a firewall, but I'm not totrally sure since I'm dumb as shit with computers. So anyone else have this problem and know how to circumvent it? edit - this probably should be in the computers folder right? Sorry.
Slayer Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Hey fellas, I'm at college and I think they have something in place to restrict file sharing (i.e. it goes sooo slow). Yeah, those are called "university servers"
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Earthstation 5 wont get you sued. but i hate that program.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 i still use Kazaa, Imesh, and Ares. the goverment will never get me.
Guest Banders Kennany Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah, those are called "university servers" Thanks so much. I tried WinMX on a recommendation PM from someone, but it doesn't seem to have really good variety on lesser known stuff and a lot of time when it's listed, it's way backlogged in downloading. I've heard good things about Bit Torrent, so I'm assuming it has a good sized user base that might be able to get me the unknown stuff I want...right?
k thx Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Bit Torrent is ok (if you use a site like suprnova.org) but it's crap for music. If that's what you're after, try soulseek (if it works on your computer).
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Strictly speaking for lesser known music, use soulseek. I have never come up empty on even the most obscure bands.
Guest Doyo Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 If you are really worried about getting sued then do not use bit torrent, for movies at least. As you download a file from there, other people will be downloading pieces of that file from you. It is not downloading that people get in trouble for; it is for allowing others to download from you. With other programs you can download the file and then make it so other people can't download it from you. The Motion Picture Association is constantly monitoring bit torrent and sending out nasty letters. I haven't heard about the RIAA targeting it yet though.
k thx Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 I did not knowthat. Although at least motion picture assoc give you a warning before they sue. Bit Torrent is still goodness though. But anything on there will turn up on Kazaa/Slsk etc.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 I use Kaz, IRC, Bittorrent and certain websites that have full albums.
Guest Wildbomb 4:20 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 DC++ is awesome for transferring a ton of music. A group of us at my college wound up creating a portal there, and so anyone on the college network of computers can share music with each other. And the best thing is: a ton of the faculty helped set it up. And it can't track IP addresses. In other words: DC++. It should help.
Guest Basswitch Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Soulseek has a ton of lesser known bands... I use IRC and IRCSPY mostly though Hotline is good too, if you can figure out how to use it (lots of people cant)
