I guess the heading says it all.

Good internet connection? Multiple sources from which to download from? Files are on fast, reliable servers?

Is there anything specific you are wondering about it?

On your next bit torrent download, take a look at the Seeds & Peers amount. The Seeds are seeding and the peers or leeches are probably uploading as well. That's an awful lot of sources for your client to draw from and some trackers are better than others.

Thank you for replies.
But aren't Torrents ie getting files from somewhere like Demonoid, and Newsgroups ie getting files from usenet two completly different methods of downloading.
Actually Torrents are my least favourite method of getting stuff. You have to depend on seeders.

torrents will be fast if ur on a good tracker e.g sct or ftn

irish66 · May 26th, 2007, 06:02 AM

What is a tracker.
Is Demonoid a tracker?

Irish66 - Think of Trackers like traffic cops, they just direct the traffic that emanates from one source and goes to another. That same tracker can also direct and record the traffic from the new source (when you see you client uploading). I know of no tracker that has any 'copyrighted material' on it.

Why are people talking about torrents? This thread is about usenet!

mascott · May 26th, 2007, 09:00 AM

Mels_Smiley45 - The Forum may have a title that reads Usenet, however many readers go beyond the title and read the thread along with specific questions which concern torrents. Then they try to help the person.

No, you started your own topic about what you wanted to talk about in the wrong forum . You seem to think that filesharing means bittorrent and thats not what the poster was asking about.

This is the usenet forum and you brought up that he should check seeds, there are no seeds as such. Admit you screwed up and did not pay attention to what this person was asking! lol Your answer made no sense at all. You only confused the guy by going off topic. Its good to try to help but you provided the wrong answer. :icon_scra

OK! I was in error. Sorry, some of you got offended, however, why didn't you help the gentleman?

irish66 · May 27th, 2007, 04:51 PM

Well i didn't get offended. Anyway someone mentioned fast servers, so i guess that's why newsgroups are so fast.
