Can someone give me a quick explination of "Bitorent'. Is it different to sites like emule & limewire? If so what are the differences and which is better for downloading.

Thanks in advance.

Torrents are MUCH better to download stuff than anything. Screw old P2P stuff like Limewire and Grokster.

www.bitcomet.com

Probably the most popular of the bunch.

What language is this :confused:

Man I gotta read more.
 
However, damn Rogers is throttling bandwidth for BitTorrents, bastards :mad:
Although, as with everything, there is always a way around that

Here's a go:

Bittorrent isn't a "site". It's a software program for downloading peer-2-peer. Torrent files are created by whomever wants to offer a file, and whoever wants to have the file downloads the torrent file from whichever website is offering it. The torrent file tells your bittorrent client software where to find the "seed". When you are seeded the file, you are called a leech. Bittorrent then connects to the seed, as well as to all other leechers, so you download different parts of the original file from a number of fellow leechers. Each leecher becomes a seeder for other leechers. In this way files are downloaded much quicker than other peer-2-peer networks like those you mentioned. Someone on the network has to be offering the seed to get things started.

I make no claims as to the accuracy of what I just wrote.

Ok I'm turning off my 'puter... never to go online again ;)
 
good to know about Rogers' bullshit...how did you find out about the 1720 port?
wondering if that'll work, we'll see.

fyi - bitcomet is the best (in my opinion) in terms of downloading torrents.
 
I used to azereus but it uses up alot of resources. Recently changed to utorrent and just love it! Small, hardly uses any memory.
If you belong to any private torrent sites, almost all of them have banned the use of bittorrent :(
