    Hey bitches.... now that we're not under the shadow of corporate America (in a sense) I figured I'd ask. Where do you get the latest torrents from? My sister is now a missionary in a backwards European country... she says the TV there might be as bad as Japan. Anyways, she's tech-illeterate, and SuprNova LIte doesn't seem to have the latest stuff unfortunately, which she wants to see.

    SuprNova's ass, IMO. Nowhere near as good as its correctly-spelt version - SuperNova - but unfortunately it was closed down recently due to lack of funds/bandwidth/something. I've found The Pirate Bay kinda good, if you can find your way through all the Swedish.

    It is hard to find any tv torrents over the web. You have to dig on irc if you want to see the latest stuff. www.torrentspy.com

    Thanks for the recommendation, but I've always had bad luck at that site (speed wise anyway)

    Zilog: What IRC net/channel do you recommend? mIRC is like crack, so I try to stay away, but can get involved sometimes.

    ok guys the professional is here :smt082 :

    if you want fast downloading stuff use:
    elitetorrents.org
    torrentbits2.org

    ^ they usually have all the latest OC, ER, Stargate :-D , enterprise and other junk (as well as movies, muisc etc).... there isnt a large selection, but they dont take days unlike suprnova.

    TvTorrents isn't down, it just changed the address.
     
  11. Err.. that's kindof like saying they should get WinMX instead of BT. Not only is it a step back technologically, but it's slower too. If you're really trying to play the 'n00b/l33t' game, you'd use IRC. The relative learning curve virtually insures that IRC channels will never be chased out like torrent aggregators.

    Hey, WinMX is still the best thing around for getting Japanese stuff, assuming you can read Japanese and know how to use an IME and junk. And I find a lot of rarer music there in general - only problem is trying to actually download anything! You can be queued for days before anything happens...

    IRC... erm, err - OK, my secret shame is that I've had the internet for at least 5 years now, but never learned how to use IRC properly! :smt022
    I've tried some of the ones that come up in Java applets before, but I can never get around the issue of registering a username! Yes, I'm an idiot. ^_^

    emule is nice for old stuff cause that u cant get via bittorent like season 1 of a series that runs more then 5 years already (did watch westwing through this way =)

    also its the best way besides ftp for musicvideos (who needs mp3 when you can have the 300mb dvd version of a song thank god for huge hdds )

    Isn't Emule full of spyware and stuff?

    I don't really know, but I've heard.

    also, for TV torrents, there's http://www.bi-torrent.com/ which used to be a suprnova mirror, but now a useful list now that suprnova is almost dead.

    There's a bunch of TV shows on the front page. Hope this helps.

    emule is the spyware free version of edonkey.

    be careful on such clients as edonkey, any gnutella client or winmx. There are certain organizations tracking IP addresses.

    Eva: I find emule queues you far too long, and then the download stops half way through and you're queued again. Plus the speeds seem to suck.

    Got any sites for decent server lists? I connect to Razorback, personally.

    Oh, there's a good UK TV torrent site. i think its uknova.com.

    Hehe, how to get torrent sites shut down - list them all on a public forum!!

    well, i connect to razorback, is the best, i cap my upload to 1kbps with netlimiter "i know, i am a leecher" and i use the search thing, i dont really use elinks that much, emule is great for getting alot of stuff, but you'll have to wait a little, and when searching for something, download the version that has the most sources ;) alf dvdrip anyone? :p

    I"m not really looking to start any old TV series... just want stuff for when I forget to push start on the DVI (like 24... today... didn't freakin' set the machine).

    anyways, the links above have helped. I get at least 60kb/s which is fine as I'm downloading this crap at home (from work while I work). The fact that there's no easy way to run any of those shitty Windows P2P programs from work on my home PC means I just simply won't use them.

    Umm, use some remote administrator software? That will work for P2P, unless there are firewall issues.
