If you used Shareaza to manage your Bitorrent you would be fine since shareazaa is the easyest and most advacned P2P software there is.

RE: BitTorrent HELP by Mike on 11-24-2004 at 01:19 PM
What bittorent softaware are you using?
RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-24-2004 at 01:44 PM
is shareaza a simaler client for bigtorrent links/files?
Does it include any spyware/adaware?

To resume a download, just do exactly what you did to start the download. Open the same .torrent file, and save to the same folder.
RE: BitTorrent HELP by BluexDreams on 11-24-2004 at 02:21 PM
Some Bittorrents clients have a Resume option like BitComet, ABC ect.
If im not mistaken the original bittorrent program does resume the download even if the window was closed and everything, but it takes some time and you wouldn't know when it would actually finish,but eventually it will

In clients like the original one, it's not obvious how to resume a download.quote:The original client will only start downloading after opening a torrent file and choosing a location to save to.

RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-24-2004 at 02:53 PM
ok listen..
I am done download shareaza and it looks good.. But when i want to download torrent files you have to get its url. So i right click on the link and then click on properties then copy the url and paste it in shareaza and then it starts.. Isnt there a way to skip all this useless steps? Like in the origianl Bittorrent you just open the file in the link which takes 1 second and it starts working..
any help? Thanks

I don't remember doing that when i first started using it. It just completes the download while the internet was connected. I could be wrong though.
@ DureX
I don't actually know how does Shareaza works, but usually you just click on the torrent link and it would ask you where to save it by using the client you have. Unless it works diffrently in Shareaza.
RE: BitTorrent HELP by user27089 on 11-24-2004 at 05:28 PM
Surely this chat is against the rules because in Israel downloading warez etc is illegal afaik, and DureX is from Israel, warez are illegal in most places... and talking about downloading and using warez, linking to p2p programs is illegal also...
anyway, shareaza is a bit of a dodgy program, I wouldn't use it tbh

RE: BitTorrent HELP by Chrono on 11-24-2004 at 05:50 PM
huh... no one mentioned warez, and p2p isnt illegal as far as i know.
and sorry traxor but suggest to download kazaalite K++ is more illegal that the whole thread

I mentioned that merely because he mentioned this, surely thats illegal, I'll edit my post, but his should be deleted.. Hence my little rant at the legality of this page.

A good BT client would be something like Azureus which is actually written in java, but is fairly well featured fortunately
To resume a download you essentially reopen the torrent, and save it to the same location, in Azureus there is a download queue so the process is fairly simple. It may take a while for the download to resume, because the program has to rehash the partially downloaded file, basically to check what has downloaded and what hasn't.
P2P isn't illegal per se. Mozilla used torrents to distribute Firefox 1.0 when it was released. Some Linux distros are made available over BT as well as it is a good way to share large files quickly

The reason I said Israel laws don't matter is because traxor was talking about Israel for no apparent reason... 
RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-24-2004 at 06:49 PM
I dont remember mentioning any warez .. Where did you get that Traxor ..
Anyway here in israel even if its illegal to download warez people still do it -_- and no one really cares.. People actually sell burnt discs from downloaded warez and they arent even scared about police because the police do warez too.. LoL its a fuked up country
Anyway shareaza is a really good program and i like it very very very much!
RE: BitTorrent HELP by user27089 on 11-24-2004 at 06:53 PM
Isn't it against the rules to speak and/or post links to warez sites or p2p networking sites that deal with warez and other stuff like music?
RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-24-2004 at 06:57 PM
shareaza isnt a warez site.. Its a p2p program.. You can use it for warez uses but thats not exactly what its ment for 
There are hundreads of p2p programs and not one of them DOESNT include warez... PLus kazaa is the most illigal program there is becuase it should have been dead along time ago... I remember back when we all used napster hahaha..
Why dont u trust shareaza anyway?? It looks really good and fast

I don't use shareaza cause its dodgy, full stop. I don't like it at all, IMO, Kazaa Lite K++ is the best, from what I've heard...
RE: BitTorrent HELP by jren207 on 11-24-2004 at 07:23 PM
Too many fake and corrupt files get mixed in when using kazaa...
shareaza is better
RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-24-2004 at 08:30 PM
shareaza is very nice but i cant seem to be able to control the upload bandwith so i really like eMule.. A mule is very slow but it gets you far Same as a donky . Next there will be eCamal.. LoL

I agree, P2P isnt elegal, its the content ur downlaoding that might be elegal.
Kaza Lite K++ isnt realy good.
Get Shareaza:
- Tab Searching
- G1+G2+ED2K = Super Fast Dowmnlaods
(Shareaza Connects to Bearshare, Lime wire etc.. and gets thie surces.)
- Bitorent Downlaod Compatability and more
RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-24-2004 at 09:01 PM
well Shareaza is pretty slow to me -_- its downloading at 2 KB/s
im talking about KB not Kb..
But it is true that it gos through all the servers so it gathers up the most sorces which adds up to faster downloads
Does it get faster as you upload more like in eMule?
RE: BitTorrent HELP by lizard.boy on 11-24-2004 at 10:21 PM
i prefer abc over bittorrent or bittornado. it automatically resumes downloads when you open it again.

The speed doesn't only depend on what kind of network you use, but mostly on the connection speeds of your peers and also the amount of bandwidth you allow for your P2P client.
In general:
Btw, these kind of topics are very... erm.... suspicious/dodgy. No, P2P clients aren't illegal on itself, but don't tell me that everybody in this thread is using it for legal activities.
What we are doing is saying how to use P2P clients, which are the best, etc. all for 1 purpose: to download ILLEGAL material, although this isn't said at loud.
So, forgive for saying, but this thread is VERY dodgy and the word "hypocrites" comes into my mind, tbh....
RE: BitTorrent HELP by .Roy on 11-25-2004 at 04:15 PM
you do know that some people use p2p programs just to be nice and save other people some bandwith so they save money NOT EVERYONE USES IT FOR ILLEGAL PURPOSES...
But more like 99.99999999% of the people do.. Oh well lol

There are much much much better ways if you want to send something to someone you know in a much safer and faster way.

P2P networks are NOT illigal, its the CONTENT you downlaod which can be illigal. For example, if I downlaoded Songs my freind Made using a P2P Network like Kazaa or sumthin, it wouldnt be iligal becuz they arnt loosing any money since, they are still in the garage phase of thier band.
But if I downlaoded say like.. uhhh Eminem's Songs or one of those big artists which is part of a Music Industry like Defjam, then yes.. that would be illigal.
P2P is NOT elegal since its a Type of Network Fundamental like: LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) etc...
SO making P2P iligal will NOT happen since thats like Making LAN or WAN illigal, and basicly thats like making the internet iligal which is NOT going to happen.
This is the reson why the RIAA are starting to SUe the People who share songs through the internet, becuz your Computer is the server and the people who downlaod off you are the clients. YOu cannot sue Kazaa or any other type of COmpanies, since it says on your LEGAL RIGHTS that you are alloud to host any buisness companies however you like.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING! Downlaoding or Pirating HUrts OUR ECONOMY!!! Buy the game if like it. For me I Use P2P software to try out Beta's Unreleased Games and Games that dont have demos so I can try them before buying them, or beta test it to see how it will be like so i can get a better understanding of what the game is like. I DO BUY GAMES that ive downlaoded from a P2P software, and delete Crap games i dont like within 24 HOurs.

To Answer Durex's Question "Does it go faster if you let people upload from you like Ed2k"
The answer is yes. Becuause Shareaza can connect to the ED2K network and downlaod from them as if you have emule or all that other ed2k software client/server side softwares.

DEFENITION OF P2P

i guess ill take your word for it since your older and seem to have a better explanation. So yeah i guess the answer is no
RE: BitTorrent HELP by thc2010 on 11-26-2004 at 02:55 AM
wait.. i remeber Ed2K had a thing called Partnering where 1 person partners up with the person he's downlaoding from who needs some of the files you have. I think they claimed to make your downlaod go faster since it concentrates your bandwith to eachother. They claim that if you had more Uploads your downlaods will go faster. Ive seen this happen only once where My KB/s went from 10 to 29 KB/s becuz of partnering. Not realy sure if Shareaza does this.
So to simplify it, ED2K made it so your Partner Must have the sources that you need to be his partner, same goes for him. (you must have the srouces your partner needs to be his partner) - Then when your partnwered up with some one, Both your Bandwith is Prioritised between the two of you till you or your partner runs out of resources.
Also I wasnt talking about your post, Im just reminding people that P2P isnt eligal... just a brief Lesson on P2P Networks.
I only know of
- Fast Track (Kazaa + Kazaa CLones)
- Bitorrent
- ED2K
- G1
- G2
... if you guys know of any more, Tell us about it.
NOTE: Im talking about P2P NETWORK not Server/CLient Softwares like KAzaa or Shareazaa or Emule or Kazaa ++ Lite. Etc.. its the network they use id like to know. THnx in advance for posting

RE: BitTorrent HELP by thc2010 on 11-26-2004 at 04:38 AM
yeah some one actualy said it was if yo look back all the way in the bigining to the end of this thread, youll see some one saying that P2P is illigal.
I just said what i use it for just an example of what is elegal and what isnt.

I'd split it, but unfortunately the topics are kinda mixed together, so I'll just close it.BTW, I think people saying the thread is dodgy only makes it more dodgy.
