Ok so im almost done downloading 2 movies (one is at 99.7% and the other at 81.3%) and they both pretty much stopped downloading at once. They are both dl'ing at 0.3 k/bs. It will take weeks to finish either of them. What can i do? I already stopped the downloads then force started them again just fucking around. Then i restarted the whole computer and it still didn't help anything.

How many seeds/leechers are you connected to?

RotaryGeek · « **Reply #2 on:** December 09, 2009, 01:05:31 AM »

0(85) seeds 50(618) peers.

jagojon3 · « **Reply #3 on:** December 09, 2009, 01:07:27 AM »

Are you somehow limiting yourself to 50 connections? I don't use utorrent so I'm not sure what the options are.

RotaryGeek · « **Reply #4 on:** December 09, 2009, 01:18:59 AM »

I don't know. How would i go about checking that?

RotaryGeek · « **Reply #5 on:** December 09, 2009, 01:21:07 AM »

I just checked, it was stuck at 50. I changed my connection speed so it says 125 now. Lets see if it changes any.

RotaryGeek · « **Reply #6 on:** December 09, 2009, 01:26:28 AM »

it changed to 0.7 kb/s. I don't even know if that is becuase i changed it though. Its pissing me off. I changed it to 2000 now. It still hasn't changed.

I believe that means you're downloading from ZERO of 85 seeds. Hell, who the fuck am I with this techy shit anyway?

Kain · « **Reply #8 on:** December 09, 2009, 02:25:16 AM »

you are correct in this regard.

if its slow, then you are in a queue. let it go and it will gradually get faster. fuck nukka.

Right

btw don't download from public trackers unless you want to deal with this regularly and risk getting DMCA letters forwarded from your internet provider.

lol are they actually serious about those letters? I would send one back and ask them how much it cost them to send that letter. Or I would say that person moved and return to sender

Yup in Canada we can flip them off and shit in their breakfast. You nogs in the states can get sued.

what site is everyone going to now for torrents. i use to go to mininova. i tried piratebay (i think they got shut down too) and a few other sites but the site would freeze up on me but not on non torrent sites...was kinda wierd i havent downloaded anything for a few weeks because of it.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #15 on:** December 09, 2009, 09:22:28 AM »

Turning up your speed limiter has nothing to do with the max number of allowed connections. Go to the preferrences menu and turn your brain on.

BTW, I torrent from coffee shops.

I use Peer guardian and just go to torrentz.com

you can find peer guardian here. http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ it basically blocks your IP address from most Government IP's RIAA IP's Educational IP's yada yada. the lists are updated frequently.

www.torrentz.com there's the site for torrentz. It works like this, go to the page and tell it what you want like goodfellas. it will then list all the torrents it "sees" with goodfellas. then you pick one, it will then take you to a page that will show you how many different sites are hosting that particular torrent. then you click on one and it will take you obviously to their site where you can click the link to DL it.

I had all that in a write up once that walked you through it but i think it was on the old site.

97Econobox · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2009, 09:43:32 AM »

Also +1 on the Utorrent i finally forwarded some of my ports and Goddamn. I dl albums faster than i can click the next dl. Like literally a full album in like a minute. sorta fuckin awesome.

Half the time you can't update lists with PG2, it's sort of turned into failware. Peerblock is the new deal, supports Vista and 7 as well as XP, and it's much easier to configure lists.

Nice ill have to check it out, thanks for tht tip.

Jorsher · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2009, 03:48:59 PM »

They don't sue anymore, they just send you letters. You are welcome to send it back or flip them off, whatever, the ISP will just typically ban you from their services for life after the 3rd time. Still not a big deal, you can just start service in someone else's name, but it's not as simple as ignoring them.

BTW -- Canada sucks for torrenting. The Canadians I know from private trackers have their torrenting throttled during peak hours and/or have bandwidth caps. Wow!

Anyway, they stopped the suing a long time ago, most ISPs here don't throttle (FCC said they'll get angry if USA ISPs throttle), and most don't have bandwidth caps. Enjoy your throttling and pitiful bandwidth caps while I download well over a terabyte at 20mbps or more.

any of you find a good torrent for the new boondock saints movie i keep having my friend download them but none of them will play the movie, waiting for a good one to leak

Jorsher · « **Reply #24 on:** December 09, 2009, 06:34:14 PM »

What do you mean none of them will play the movie?

Download/install vlc media player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

If you're really frisky, get the vastly superior MPC-HC and set it up with ffdshow: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

Peer Guardian is obsolete and no longer developed. Download PeerBlock, it is based off the same code as PeerGuardian but is constantly updated and the list updates work all the time.
