Okay, since p2p networks suck now, and have sucked for quite some time and I just haven't hopped on the ball, I decided to start using BitTorrent.
I know how to use the damn thing, but is every download supposed to be this slow? 1 day 19 hours for Half Baked to finish? And that's the only torrent I could find that would actually start downloading!
Am I inept or is this shit supposed to take this long? If it is, then man, i'm going to quit being a pirate.
On another note, does anyone have a full copy of Half Baked they could hook me up with? I haven't watched the whole movie in a while and I owe the rental place too much money.

I'd already checked out piratebay. Shitty. Everything i've tried is taking days to finish. Isohunt is no better.
With so many stoners on this forum, surely somebody has half-baked.

What site are you using? Is you connection slow? How many seeds were there?
All pivotil questions.
The trick with bittorrent is getting a huge ratio and then getting invites to sites. Feedthe.net ect.
I can download a movie in 4-5 hours, and I don't even have fast speeds.

Torrents aren't that bad, I've downloaded up to 265kb/s regularly. Make sure your settings are correct for upload (do it as much as possible) and choose files with high seed to leech ratios.

Right now, Piratebay, nothing else would even start downloading, either that or it required me to sign up for porn sites to get to the torrents. My connection isn't slow. How many seeds? I have no idea what that even means.
Maybe I should just go steal it from Sam Goody or something.

This brings me to another point.
I don't use any of those trackers. Too many people to maintain good speeds. Piratebay actually has a pretty nice server and that's about as public as I go.
Those trackers - being as huge as they were. Ran a bigger risk of getting caught by the RIAA bots.
As I said in my last post, Private trackers run faster, less chance of getting busted, and are more maintained.

You speak of others ignorance yet claim ISO hunt is a POS tracker....
And you are surprised that your friend got caught on a public tracker? Face it, there is going to be copyright spies on any public tracker.

Next to every torrent listed, should be a green and a red number.
Green is the number of people sharing the file. Red is the number of people downloading it.

It says I have 10 peers, 7 seeds. That means there's 3 people downloading from me, right? Fuckers. Get your own torrent.

That means 7 are sharing this file, You and 2 other people are downloading it from those 7.
It's fair.

Does BitTorrent just suck, maybe? Do you guys who use usenet and Azureus get better download speeds?

Azureus is a bittorrent client.
What are you using to download torrents right now, UTorrent?
[edit] Have you forwarded you ports? www.portforward.com

UTorrent, FTW.
Couldn't get a greenlight with the new versions though :/
I just downgraded to 1.6.1
[Edit] Yeah man, I realized from your post he was refering to the Bittorrent client instead of bittorrent as a whole.

Just installed uTorrent, and opened up the same torrent. Yeah, it's downloading MUCH quicker. I'm not getting anything better than 13 kb a second, but that beats the fuck out of the 4 kb a second I was getting before.

the more seeders and leechers there are on a torrent, the quicker you're going to get things, too because there are more people to grab pieces from, just so you know.
but yeah, BitTorrent is teh uber ghey.
