Not really.

Re: Torrenting guide.
 

What's inaccurate? I'm trying to find out more about this.

Thinking of doing some torrenting Richard?

Re: Torrenting guide.
 

Yes, but I want to find out more about how it's done first. This guide looked to be ok, but Paul says it's not really very good. What do you think? Do you have any advice?

Re: Torrenting guide.
 

I'm thinking of downloading torrents, what should I do?

1) Don't post about it on the forums of a large UK internet provider.

2) GOTO 1

:D

Having said that, I've downloaded numerous torrent over the years, the vast majority of which are the various Unix distro's that are ever evolving. I have 2 old laptops that I often experiment with.

I don't use a proxy or VPN because It's a legal download.

Bittorent, Utorrent, seem to be popular.

Ahhh torrents. Takes me back to the early 2000s.

Re: Torrenting guide.
 

They are very much still a thing.

Re: Torrenting guide.
 

I know. You just dint hear people talk about them much now. It's all hidden yonder mobile apps.

Re: Torrenting guide.
 

I use bittorrent (the original) to get things that I can't justify subscribing for.

Otherwise it's to get a better copy (1080p) of something I already have bought on tape or DVD. Or some old classic like "Tubruk" or "Ice cold in Alex" which IIRC are out of copyright anyway.

Generally this is through membership of a private tracker service where copyright owner stooges are not lurking to harvest IPs.

To use a public tracker like TPB you need a proxy or VPN to anonymise yourself and bypass ISP blocks.

Don't do it Richard. It's very naughty and you will be locked up forever. ;)
