Blackpool Jags Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have been using btjunkie but it's packed itself in. Any suggestions for a replacement gratefully received. Thanks Perish the thought that anybody - least of all Thistle fans - would use torrent sites to (presumably) download music, films etc for free. However, a mate of mine told me about this and said something about a site called 'EZ Torrentz' or something like that being pretty good. Not that I'd have the faintest interest in this sort of activity of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Just to add that my mate rang a few minutes ago to say that the site he earlier recommended is a pay site. Instead, he now recommends a free site: "Extra Torrent", whatever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Murray Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Pirate bay is good. Make sure you have peerblock of something similar running when downloading torrents or you may get a letter from you isp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OorWull Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 An excellent alternative to Torrents are NewsGroups, I overheard some Guys at work talking about UsenetServer (http://www.usenetser...om/en/index.php) and you would also need a piece of software to be able to search the NewsGroups and download the files, I've heard that NewsBin Pro is excellent for the job (http://www.newsbin.com/index.php). You do need to pay for UsenetServer about $10 a month gets you unlimited downloads and an encrypted SSL connection, the NewsBin Pro is a one off purchase of $20. The main difference I've heard is that unlike torrents where you need someone to switch on their PC and share their files, these files are on Servers, so you have a constant access source. In addition I've heard you get full use of your bandwidth, for example I've got a 7MB connection and that would be my download speed all the time, 24 hours a day if I wanted it, unlike torrents which depend on folk keeping their PCs on and sharing, so I've heard. Guys at work who have Virgin Broadband are getting 50Mb download speeds 24/7, allegedly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just had a thought: Somebody who'd been frozen in time since OLAS days, came onto this site and the first thread he saw was this. How would he think the team was doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys at work who have Virgin Broadband are getting 50Mb download speeds 24/7, allegedly! My, erm, mate has been using this for a couple of years now and it blows torrents out of the water. 99% of stuff "he" has downloaded has been virus free and the speeds are lightning, although virgin have started to choke connections down to 8mb for a couple of hours in the evening if you download too much. Still, downloading at 8mbps is still much much quicker better than the torrent method! Oh and joining a site like nzbmatrix is ideal for searching for your files, I have been told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
