BitTorrent Alternatives?

Since I’m temporarily back on DSL and can’t get port forwarding to work for the life of me due to the shitty router/modem combo, I’ve been getting some really shitty speeds (average of 5kbs) :cjerk:

anyone know of a decent and safe alternative?

Westell modem? That’s what I have. I might be able to help you set up forwarding on it.

yeah, it’s the westell. I appreciate it

I found a port forwarding guide for that unit online a few months back but ended up doing something that screwed up my internet connection and reset the router/modem back to it’s defaults and havent messed with it since.

I’ll shoot you a PM when I get out of work :tup:

yeah get on NGs, fuck torrents and theyre sharing shit.

We should start an nyspeed ftp ring or something similar…

NGs?

What about if I throw up a NYSpeed DC hub? Anyone intrested?

I would be…

What’s not to understand?

tried using mIRC before and just couldn’t figure out how it really worked. Someone tried showing me but alas, I just didn’t get it

lol an irc ring would work well…

if anyone has a dedicated machine, a DC++ hub would be very easy to set up. But registration would be a must, and its really up to the NYspeed admins if it wants to be connected in anyway shape or form to this forum

shit, I know nothing about dc++ but I have a machine that I could donate to the cause

well, someone with a decent internet connection would have to run it… and would want to take the risk of 15-30 connections to this computer, which can be easily monitored, yadda yadda, yadda, I’ll do some research on an DC++ hub and see what kind of risks are involved…

Being on campus the one I partially run, which i haven’t looked at in more than a week lol, we’re closed off to the outside world and security isn’t a big deal…

being on the outside world… certain percausion are nessecary

if u get the ok from the mods i’ll figure out how to get it up and running. u set it up at ur house and give me remote access and we’ll get-r-done

im thinking tho that we might be better off running our own torrent site and torrents. use a username and password to log into the website we can all just torrent with each other instead of the outside world

A DC++ hub would be a million times easy for the average idiot user (most of nyspeed :slight_smile: )

but for using IRC, in the mean time… there are a few ways to download things…

  1. The install

download from one of the following mirrors
- mIRC: Download mIRC

Install program, I’m sure you are more than capable of this.

  1. USING IRC

When you initially open it up click continue don’t register… fuck that guy. The settings will pop up. For connect fill in bullshit for full name, and email address. you don’t want anyone getting your info, its the internet after all :slight_smile: make sure you have a username and an alternative.

After you fill in the bullshit click “DCC” on the right side its personal preference, being that i’m using linux i have virtually no virus or other bullshit worries so i have mine set to Auto-get > resume. you can leave it to ask it would probably be a good idea until you figure things out.

Under “DCC” click options, again personal preference, i think i left mine as default.

Skip down to “DCC” > “Ignore” chane Method to : disable, and UNCHECK turn ignore back on in: ITs really fucking annoying so just turn it off.

those are the minimum settings you need to download shit. remember the defualt folder is C:\Program Files\mIRC\download

  1. Connecting to a Channel

you can do this multiple ways, if you know the channel and server you can just type /server <server name or IP> and /join <channel name>.

Obviously you don’t know of any fucking servers of channels since you don’t use IRC at all. To find some you can by using www.packetnews.com (annoying with popups i know, possible virus issue, make sure your firewall is on at the very least and don’t click random shit) use the search bar scream and swear at the annoying pop up when you click on the search box. type in something easy to get results and click search.

when you figure out that you have results (getting past the pop ups lol) you can either click:

[cmx]-x-00 5h13m 20/20 38.4 #3 5x 692M porn hollywood orgies cd1 jenna jameson brianna banks chasey lain taylor hayes vivid mpg

where it it say’s “#3” it will have a link to the IRC and it should open up the server and channel. Its obvious i searched for ‘porn’ cause there is always results. clicking the number is fucking worthless in firefox cause it saves nothing to the clipboard. It works in IE, but god bless you if you use IE for some of these sites.

Or just click the channel,

Network: 101-FREEDOM
Channel: #cinemax

this will be just above the search result, when you do this it will open up 101-freedom network (server) and #cinemax (channel)

you can also use about 45000 diffferent IRC search engines… and 1.3 million IRC clients

  1. At the channel i wanna fucking DOWNLOAD (insert angry german kid screaming)

Lets review the info we had before and define somethings for you

[cmx]-x-00 5h13m 20/20 38.4 #3 5x 692M porn hollywood orgies cd1 jenna jameson brianna banks chasey lain taylor hayes vivid mpg

[cmx]-x-00 is the bot name (NOT case sensitive)

5h13m is the wait time, it will take this long (estimate) for you to connect to this bot

20/20 is the queue, as you can see its full the first 20 is the users in queue (most likely idiots, i never wait for more than 15 min to connect to a bot) and the second is the max queue for the bot (a setting the administrator of the bot selects)

38.4 I’m cloudy on this one its either the average transfer rate of all users or the average transfer rate of a user.

#3 is the packet number

5x is the number of times this file has been downloaded from this bot since the last update on packetnews (generally a good indicator on your success of getting this pronz!!) 5x is really fucking low… don’t go for anything under 100 for older files and under 30x for brand new files… remember you are NOT going to be the first one to grab this file, when it gets to IRC, its already old news. so look for high get #'s

692M size of file… duh.

and the rest is the kazaa esque name for the pr0nz!

Ok now that shit is defined… when in the channel, call people fuck faces and random racial slurs, they are mostly douche bags and will retort asap, you’ll probably be banned from a few channels its kind of funny (change your ip if this happens, or if they are idiots change your user name)

moving on, when in a channel (THAT HAS THE FILE like the one above) you can do the following command/ script

/ctcp <bot name> xdcc send #?

IE

/ctcp [cmx]-x-00 xdcc send #3 YAY!! then you get a message… or you don’t if you have autoget on and you click accept and yay!! the pronz downloads…

now remember they will spam the main chat with shit its pretty self explanitory there are other commands like @find and !list that work in the chat, but not all have them so it can get you banned cause come elite douche admins “don’t like them” fuck em… there are more channels…

um in the server window… you can do /list and it will display a shit load of channels lots fill niches (porn, games, ISO’s blah blah blah) jsut double click to connect to them, and wait for them to start spamming…

if you can figure out this decent info… i’ll be in efnet channel #nyspeed

:slight_smile:

I can throw one up. I have a P2 server sitting around that I can use. If anyone has a server to donate to it, it would be very easy to get one up and running. i would like to find something a little more powerful than a P2 on a decent connection so I can get some scripts running to keep it private and secure.

Also, any admin here who can help out and get a list of active user names who are posting, we will need to start linking them up.

Just PM me.
