Anileve Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Can anyone suggest another program to download movies besides the obvious LimeWire, eDonkey, Kazaa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgen Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 DC++ http://www.dcplusplus.com But get some share first, like 10-20 gb. Here are some good hubs: ahus.no-ip.com backyard1.udgnet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Thanks pops gurgen, as a token of my gratitude I will FedEx to you the latest shaver so that I finally glance into your eyes as I am thanking you. Yep, I'll have to get a neo-modus for those DC-hubs. What about Morpheus, eMule 0.30, Ares Galaxy 1.8.1, Limewire (International)? Has anyone used them? I started with Ares, but it seems like I would have to disconnect my firewall for that one. Morpheus I heard has a load of spyware, thus I haven't touched it. It takes forever to download films over eDonkey, but it seems like the best site for rare selections. The movies I am downloading are not media stream, so I need a large network. I've been downloading a file for over 10 hours and it is still going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anileve Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 By the way, for the record I did not start this topic, it happens to be an offspring of a “Papa Thread” of “How fast is your connection”. I would not even dream of starting a whole new thread about pirate activities, no sir, I do not engage in file theft. I am a person of true morals. I spit on pirateering “tfu”! I am just inquiring within to make a survey of how many people are engaged in this corrupt and immoral activity! And gurgen jan, so far I have one, pretty impressive, I guess the morals have not escape our godly minds! And what concerns you…well you are public enemy #1, yes my friend you are blacklisted, you are what they call “a menace to the internet society!”.

Dan Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Here's my list: BCDC++ BCDC++ is a modified version of DC++. The only major difference is that BCDC++ has an option to limit both upload and download bandwidth within an interval of time specified by the user. The rest of the application seems like an exact replica of DC++, even the user interface. Note: Some hubs do not allow BCDC++ clients to connect because of said bandwidth limiting option. BitTorrent BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol designed for transferring files. Users connect directly to send and receive portions of the file, while a central tracker coordinates the action of all such peers, yet manages connections without knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed. With BitTorrent, users upload at the same time they download, so that network bandwidth is managed as efficiently as possible. In contrast to other file-transfer protocols, BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases. The latest version now takes command-line arguments and also includes several bug fixes. Shareaza Shareaza has features that are unheard of in other file-sharing applications, from ghost ratings to a completely user-configurable queue area to multinetwork support. Shareaza originally started out as an Gnutella client, but recently branched out and developed Gnutella2, a completely open and documented network. Boasting 50,000 users, Gnutella2 is well on its way to the top. In addition, Shareaza supports the eDonkey network and BitTorrent. Shareaza's interface is easy-to-use yet powerful, and fully skinnable. Shareaza's download core was purpose-built to provide optimum performance from any number of sources. Shareaza can manage your download queue automatically, or you can take charge and modify the status of files or even individual physical transfers and sources. You can find more about them by doing a search on alltheweb.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote sev-mard “Amot amot kez!” You might want to notice it is not illegal to download games, movies or music. It's illegal to keep it on your computer more than 24 hours What you do with it later is your business. Oh btw my Windows is illegal I downloaded it After that I downloaded like 43643 games and installed them, then I went on the net to look for cd keys so I could play online. So sue me PS if you want to call my numer is 0800-cute-armenian-pirate Edited January 26, 2004 by gurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an awesome alternative to Office XP, and free distribution! Yeah baby, yeah! I think Linux users use this and Star Office. And the best is that it recognizes Microsoft format completely. Gives the greedy bastards a nice little kick in the butt! And Morpheus has a serious stanky load of spyware so it's a no no.

gurgen Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Openoffice is great. It also had wordrecognition, just like a lot of cell phones. Beats the hell out of Word imho, which is an impossible program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
