Limewire - still good?

[NickyE3]

are your ports forwarded?

i guess i dont know exactly what that means. I checked all the connection options and everything looks fine.
uTorrent just takes a little longer to get goin for some reason

ok, on the bottom right (not all the way to the right...but rightish) do you have a green check, yellow !, or red ! ?

we shall proceed from there.

download utorrent
install it
go to a torrent site like www.isohunt.com
search for whatever sort of depravity you enjoy
click 'download torrent'
utorrent opens up automatically
choose where you want to save it
let the download go

how good is isohunt? much spyware? virii? are the torrents reviewed and approved?

isohunt is good for finding common stuff.

the speeds are nowhere near oink's, but you can find a shit load of stuff on there.

i have downloaded A LOT of stuff on isohunt, and i have NEVER had any problems.

don't expect instant gratification, though.

these are averages (remember, it depends on the ratio of seeders to leechers)

400 meg file -- 2 hours
1 gig -- 5 hours
4 gigs -- 13 hours

basically, use isohunt on a computer you just have specifically set up for downloading. i usually just que up my downloads and let them sit for about 24 hours.

this way i come home, see all sorts of cool new shit, and then go from there.

never had a problem with fakes, virii, or load times.

currently using it to download ~20 gigs of stuff.

Most of what I download is Photoshop stuff. Add ins, ebooks, etc..

you should be able to find anything you need on isohunt or demonoid.

did you try talking to oink at all?

check with jnuts if it is any hard to find stuff...he has a lot of backups of his legally purchased software and videos.

so is this utorrent used only to download whole albums? or can you get single songs too?

Use torrentportal and azereus to get limewire pro. Or add me to msn at [email protected] and ill send it to you. Youll get every song you download in like 30 seconds.

any large file like a movie or tv series, use bittorrent. It is so much faster.

everything is good to go, tested port 19905 and everything is getting forwarded correctly

I like the bittorent sites and use them but most downloads seem to be pretty slow, even with a shit load of seeders
