Asking what is going to be an age old question, Anyone got a notice?

Some guy in Auckland? For some pop songs?

No one here.

Feels like scaremongering.

[Clin]

Feels like a false sense of security. The big boys play the long game. They make moves their grandsons can capitalise on.

Fuck you squiggly red line, I'll spell capitalise with an s if I want.

Did torrent ever stop being the best? I mean direct downloads just catered for the lazy, but they never had anything on what torrents offered (namely the being free).

[private_hell]

direct downloads can be free

Torrents stopped being the best when ISPs shaped torrent traffic then blatantly lied about doing so. Also, fuck sacrificing my cap so others can download it, not in a country where caps still reign supreme.

Usenet for me ever since 5loth showed me the way.

However NZBMatrix seems to be pretty shit these days.

[Hopeless]

can always use mirc for downloading pretty much anything takes a bit to setup but easy as after that

$2.50 per week on the lowest plan, rapes NZ speeds and no cap. Then you FTP what you need, no U/L. And since it happens offshore you essentially dodge the retarded piracy legislation. 95% of direct downloads make you feel like you're going to catch the computer clap.

Usenet for me

They tried to charge me $15 p/mo. If I'm paying that much I expect to see the porn first. There is no excuse for boring porn.:suspicion:

I believe usenet costs money. But its a legitimate choice compared to direct download sites. Also torrent traffic shaping? Never experienced it myself. Maybe its not a TCL thing.

[Speakman]

only shitty isps shape torrent traffic


btw, if you torrent on your home connection, you are a fool. Seed box and private sites ftw

Im happy with my free direct downloads, can get what I want, when I want it and maxing out my connection without wasting my cap uploading.

Best I get on a direct download is like 300kb? Thats a generous guess, What the hell are you doing to max out your connection o-o

[pyro]

Just have to find the right file hosts. Jumbofiles, mediafire, bayfiles all get 1mb-1.3mb/s for me. The more well known hosts have pretty much shat on free users, rapidshare restricting downloads to 30Kb/s fileserve isn't as bad but still shit, so most of the major uploaders on the site I get links from have changed hosts.

*edit* Screenshot attached downloading from Jumbo @ 1mb, no wait interval for multiple downloads and no captcha.

pr0tip:
The illegal part is the sharing, not so much the getting*.
Which torrents enforce you to do.




*though it could be argued that getting is making a copy (which breaks copyright), really it's the sharing that is the part that 'hurts' the industry.

[dirtyape]

Well it's all illegal really but it's the sharing that is considered distribution and that is what will get your details released to the "copyright holder".

[Pyromanik]

Well it's all illegal really

Yeh, hence note on the bottom

[dirtyape]

I never read fine print :-P

Studios lobbying to lower cost of infringement notices.

[dirtyape]

Calls for the fees to be lowered or done away with completely? Who then pays the ISP for having to manage the sending out of the infringement notices? No one? Oh, guess they don't get sent out then...
