ElisabethF50 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I use azureus, so and I've only used it, so I personally don't know which is better, but, because I don't, I couldn't tell you how to seed your downloads, I'm sorry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Azureus is the best one to me. Plus they have tons of stuff listed that you can also download from that site! Seems like they have more people there that seed and makes downloads and uploads go faster! Dreamangel has a link to Azureus on here somewhere theeKenny. Check it out! ~~**WAVES**~~ @ Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodeh007 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 If you look earlier in this thread you'll find the link of BB5. I know it's not dead because I'm seeding it now. Or go to www.demonoid.com and search for "Big Brother US Season 5" That will take you to my torrent. thx u r the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Just for my personal info could someone define seeding vs leeching for me I am downloading (BB2) a torrent for the first time & would like to know a bit more about the whole process. I assume seeders have the file & leechers are trying to get the file from the seeders. I assume fewer seeders & more leechers means slower downloads? But then I have also heard too many seeders is bad & slows things down too which make absoultely no sense to me. Also once I finish my download do I become a seeder or do I have to do something special to let others download the file from me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Ok. I'm going to answer all your questions. You are correct in the definition of seeder and leecher. You are also correct in the few seeders vs more leechers = slower download however the more seeders = slower download is incorrect. You are only able to connect to so many at a time anyway. The tracker regulates how many connections are available. As for becoming a seeder if you are using Azereus like recommended earlier in this thread it will become a seed as soon as it's done. The download will move to the lower section of the screen. You are then seeding and people may download from you. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svirfnebli Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 If anyone wants to download part one and two of BB season 1, I'm seeding them right now and will leave it on overnight tonight. They are the only two torrents Im seeding so you should get decent band width. Download the torrent at isohunt.com Just search for "big brother usa" and I think its on the second page of torrents.

ElisabethF50 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 BB2 isn't on DVD, you can look back through the pages of this thread and it will tell you how to download it on the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I have downloaded the 2/3 of the torrents for BB2. Unfortunately the last 1/3 of the shows were some how corrupted. I dunno if anyone else will run into this problem or not but they would not play due to codec errors &/or corruption (I ran codec check to no avail so I deleted the files & attempted a downloading them again) Here comes a warning. I am sure noone else is this stupid but I was . My re-download for the last 1/3 of BB2 was going slow & wouldn't connect because of my firewall. I shut down my firewall & WOW the download speed up by 3 fold. I went to bed & when I awoke my laptop was turned off. Now it will no longer let me sign in to Windows XP so either I was virus attacked or hacked during the night with my firewall down. Please don't be an idiot like me & turn your firewall or virus protection off when downloading torrents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svirfnebli Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Its called port forwarding. Bit Torrent requires a listening port (default is 6881) and your firewall needs to let that port through to your computer. It is also recommended to change your listening port to something in the 50000-60000 range as many ISP's block 6881. If your are using azureus, check the little status bar at the bottom of the window for the section called NAT. If it's a color other than green you have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks. I do know about the green bar(s). The torrent program I was using had them too. The port stuff gets a bit beyond me. Unfortunately it is all a mute point now as I can no longer access Windows due to my stupidity. Ahhh well it's off to the puter store for a fix tomorrow.

svirfnebli Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Could you be as kind as to seed it for a little while? I need the last little chunk :< Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendes56 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'll seed it over night for you Well I started to seed BB2 when problems occured with my computer. I couldn't access my antivirus software or the internet. Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable anymore with an open port considering what happened to dumblonde. I had to use the system restore and will no longer use bit torrents as a percaution. Sorry about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't see them there anymore No I compared the size of the boxes. season 3 was like 10 discs and Season 4 was one or two discs. I did see some reviews on line and people were very displeased when the got it home to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svirfnebli Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Just download them from bittorrent. It takes a few weeks, but worth it. ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperSabe Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Well .. one could hope that the production company who produces the BB series, would take the hint that since this is ALL STARS that they should release the previous season's disks so thta people can buy the old seasons, while they're watching the current season, and seeing their old familiar houseguests from the past that they love or hate.

WannaBeBB9 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Image, if they would have told us last summer that this summer was going to be all stars and they released all season on dvd. They would of have had a butt load of sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
