Rapidshare~

[f0oster]

The bittorrent protocol gives priority to seeders with a fast speed, and on good sites you'll be in competition with seedboxes for the major torrents. You'll be able to seed more obscure torrents better because noone will bother seedboxing them.

it also gives priority (both upload and download speeds) to LEECHERS. So the longer you leech the more you will upload.

do go on

also yeah i gave up seeding on demonoid they dont really care but ip torrents u have to have a ratio of at least 0.2 ive got mine at 0.4 at the moment

partial seeding is when you only download parts of a popular file or new upload that you expect to be popular and seed those, rather than the whole thing

[BuGeh]

just throwing this out there.......has the daily show and the colbert report been on break for the past 2 weeks or some shit i need my weekly material of satire and laughter

Get on a private torrent website and it is 10x better than rapidshare. Coming from an ex rapidshare user. I used rapidshare for a few months then moved on to TL and Revott and haven't looked back.

[crunchie_246]

maz depending on how much you plan to dl you can use my account if you want pretty sure theres a 25gb a day cap. As everyones explained it rapes torrenting in a few ways. The question about finding all the parts there is a site which you can search for your shows or whatever and get the links to them which is another great useful site

[Kefusan]

RS > Torrents.

You won't regret making the move

[Gerrard]

Torrents, preferably

[f0oster]

RS > Torrents.

You won't regret making the move

im pretty sure i would

[Jam0864]

I used rapidshare for a couple months - while it was good, it's no better than torrents... same shit but you have to pay for it. A private site is just as fast.

The problem with private torrent sites as they never have fucking subscriptions open. It's impossible to get into a decent site. I've been trying every so often for years but with no luck.

Rapidshare's great. I can usually find even the most obscure stuff - and you get full speeds. Get stuff done in a few minutes/hours, not waiting days/weeks with 1-2 seeders. Unless I get an invite to a decent torrent site, I don't see myself changing anytime soon.

lol forget comparing torrents to sites like rapidshare or of such as there is no comparison

why people still use torrents beats me but its so worth the money what 80 dollars for a whole year ?

Link me a torrent to it, and you're point will be proven.

Or i might be bothered searching more than 1 forum.

lol more content ...u must be joking ..not only is there more contecnt but also the safest way of downloading

when using torrents why base your download speed by the number of seeds when u can use ur full speed 24/7 no matter what

also with torrents u have to have a client and make sure u port forward it wheres sites like rapidshare u only required to have a browser with javascript enabled plus not to mention there are alot more virus's and spyware involved with torrents than from hosting sites

You're obviously a public site user, I admit, they don't compare.

But torrentleech is just as good as rapidshare for games and apps and what.cd is much better for music...

[crunchie_246]

rapidshare rapes torrents. If demonoid is classed as a private site then they are no better as I have an account there

[SpAnKy]

tbh i havent used public/private torrents since 04' as i was a premium user for wild-bytes but now i have premium account with most hosting sites

what i also like is having being able to download large 1 file .iso files straight from sites like megashares without needing to unzip or anything perfect for my 720p rip movies and games like alpha protocol that i downloaded last night in 2 hrs

in the end whats 80 dollars a year? virtually nothing, half a days work no even

id prefer to have less headaches and troubles with torrents, seeding to other users, unzipping 74 files for a 700MB movie which quite frankly is a joke

dont get me wrong back in the day yer torrents were sweet but now there is just no real reason to use torrents at all

[SHo]

It's the sites/communities you use that make the medium you use better or worse. Those that use private, well maintained torrent sites are going to always think they are better than the short time span they used HTTP sites and visa versa. I prefer HTTP as it only looks like a huge amount of traffic being logged as opposed to a huge amount of bittorrent/p2p traffic, because I'm a paranoid fuck.

Plus, I don't think I've ever had a problem finding anything using RS/MU/DF/HF, and I have some obscure shit.

The price isn't a fucking factor. Your first download or two, you've received the value of the account, if not more. IF you're whinging about the price, it's because you've got no money or you're 12 years old and not allowed to use mummy and daddy's card.

I've spent more than $400-$500 on accounts in 3 years, and I've downloaded thousands worth of software, multimedia and games. A very, VERY small price to pay for an infinite library of files.

Also, USENET.

Spanky and crunchie, Get the fuck out. Block-headed, short sighted faggots are NOT what this threads needs.

Demonoid is worse than most public sites.

I just don't see why I'd pay for a rapidshare account when I can get the same shit on private sites for free. That's the only seperating factor between them really, in my opinion rapidshare is only good for people who can't/won't seed or can't get an invite to a private site.
I used rapidshare for about three months but didn't see how it was better, so didn't bother with it after that.

[crunchie_246]

hmmm spanky i find a lot of stuff in 4 or 2 parts that I have to unrar. Where are you finding the single links

Lol I'd like to think I was paying a penance of sorts, but it's mainly because of my ISP.They are quite notorious for limiting P2P traffic in the offpeak and publicly saying they don't. HTTP doesn't get limited and unlike some lowly seeded torrents, are full speed all the time.

It's different strokes for different blokes. I too use torrents sometimes if there's a good ratio and it's taking me too long to find http links. I will concede however that I was negative towards RS/MU originally, but have since changed my fanboy ways.

Aww, struck a nerve did I?

[Jam0864]

Usually just ticking the encrypt box in utorrent is enough to stop P2P-specific bandwidth throttling.

[depo provera]

It sounds like all the people who don't like torrents haven't been on a private torrent site. I'am on torrent-leech and i have always downloaded at full speed have for years.

I don't understand why you people would pay for a rapid share account when you can download off a private torrent site for free. The only benefit you have given is that you can download at your full net speed 24/7 which you can also do on a private torrent site.

So far you guys are paying for the same service we get for free. Why would i change.

[crunchie_246]

doubt it but still with torrents you need seeders and you can't tell me even on the private sites there is seeds for every single thing 24/7. I get an extra 30kbs in speed from rapid against the fastest site i have torrented from and thats with numerous dls going while torrents only having like 3 going

Yeah I've been lucky to find a few it's probably because I find the one with the most replies and just use it's links rather than trying to look for 1link ones. Which site do you use to get your links from

[SpAnKy]

USENET

usenet is good but having to use nzb and to unzip so many files is a waste of time

Yeah I've been lucky to find a few it's probably because I find the one with the most replies and just use it's links rather than trying to look for 1link ones. Which site do you use to get your links from

ill pm ya some sites i use as i dont like sharing my sites to everyone

[f0oster]

Or i might be bothered searching more than 1 forum.

I could log onto what or waffles right now and find nearly any album you name in v0, v2, 320cbr and FLAC with 5+ seeders, with atleast one of those seeders being a seedbox( 100up/100down speeds) so long as they are relatively known. If you think I can't then it's pretty obvious to me why you think rapidshit is better.

[afour]

anyone bought a rapidshare account off ebay? they seem a lot cheaper, yearly for ~$30

[f0oster]

And yes, there is seeds for every single thing 24/7. 80-90% of the private torrenting community come from europe and america, where they have no 'internet usage caps'. They basically leave torrents seeding 24/7, and don't turn their computers off ever. And even then, if they turn their computers off, the majority of files are being supported by a seedbox which have like a 99.9% uptime...

Double post time.

The 74 files you are speaking of are part files... all you need to do is unzip part1 and it unzips all the files sequentially. It is the same speed as unzipping one ZIP file and you don't have to put anymore effort.. Also - in case you didn't know, it's actually faster to upload and download smaller parts than downloading a smaller number of larger files.

With all due respect mate if you think there is no real reason to use torrents anymore and refuse to seed then I'm glad you're not in the torrenting community. Because frankly torrenting is all about sharing and promoting a user based community. In many cases torrenting is shitloads faster than rapidshare, and in my opinion (I have had rapidshare for 5 or 6 months, and I found it useful - but it did not match torrenting for me in any case) torrenting is vastly superior to rapidshare.

I have never gotten a virus from a private torrent site. EVER. Do you not realise that rapidshare is one of the most common mediums of spreading viruses at the moment?

[SpAnKy]

lol u dont need to share with hosting sites which is why they are more common..doesnt matter unzipping 1 or 74 still takes unnecessary time to do when i can just download 1 single file and thats it, plus unzipping files over 8-16GB takes minutes which obviously u dont do but yer

5 Reason why Rapidshare is better than Torrents. | BabloTech

http://www.helium.com/items/1732723-...re-vs-torrents

it all comes down to personal choice but i can safely say the majority of ppl these days use file hosting sites rather than torrents

plus torrents are based on a P2P network which is why its alot less safer and less reliable no matter if its pub or private

even google rapidshare vs torrents, u will notice every single link states RS dominates torrents

[Jam0864]

All of the points in the link are moot for private torrent sites, except for the client one.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather have my files rar'd so I can download significantly less... Some games I extract from a 6gb file turn out to be 10gb... It takes about 2 minutes to extract that 6gb file, faster than downloading another 4gb.

And I would call a P2P network SAFER than a server... servers have logs, logs are bad.

[steamboaT]

But isn't that illegal for them to have files of movies and episodes and such on a server?

You download torrents??

5 Reason why Rapidshare is better than Torrents. | BabloTech

it all comes down to personal choice but i can safely say the majority of ppl these days use file hosting sites rather than torrents

didn't think i would have to say this but obviously i do - once again, all those points are targeted at public torrent portals... which are no doubt pretty bad.

it is often much faster and easier to max your connection downloading a variety of small files rather than one large file(zips vs one large iso)

a majority of files on private trackers are supported by seedboxes. these vary from 100mbit up/100mbit down to 1000mbit up / 1000mbit down. it is not uncommon to see 2 or 3 seedboxes supporting one file. It is uncommon to find any torrents on decent private sites that have less than 5 seeders unless they are duplicates or are just very undesired softwares... and these torrents usually still go on to live for years regardless, and if they don't when they reach 0 seeders, after a short period of time they are removed.

i would also like to point out that i experienced many many files on rapidshare get deleted for breaching their TOS. I have tried to download files from rapidshare numerous times to be told the file is no longer there... that doesn't happen on private trackers very often.

if you really think private sites (which are pretty difficult to get into btw) are going to contain viruses then you are pretty retarded. as i said before, rapidshare is one of the, if not the most popular sites for the transmission of viruses.

if you cannot download a client and understand how to use it then you should stick to your subpar HTTP sharing anyway - torrents aren't supposed to be for computer illiterate retards. that's what rapidshits for. i would also like to point out that you will likely not max your connection on rapidshit unless you use a threaded download manager, such flashget. that counts as a client, btw.

you can be as anally retentive towards public torrent trackers as you like but private trackers will remain better than rapidshit.

oh and i'd like to throw in that the only reason that "rapidshare > p2p" on google is because the internet is infested with 14 year old kids who finally discovered there are alternatives to limewire. none of those posts or blogs make any viable comparisons to private trackers.

[SpAnKy]

well i aint gonna say anymore as this thread will never seem to stop lol

at the end of the day its the users choice but yer

all i can say is just try both ways and see what works better for you
