Topic: torrenting help/advice, please! (Demonoid invite??)

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #4,125

I’m looking for new music, and torrenting looks useful. What client and website(s) should I use?

Use TPB.

How exactly do they differ?

Demonoid is shit, and TPB is less shit.

Blah blah blah my opinions. Public trackers are all the same shit.

Didn't argue with that. However @OP requested and @OP received.

Also, http://torrentz.eu

I just use BitTorrent. It gets the job done, and that's good enough for me.

Nah

@previous (F)
I prefer uTorrent

@previous (r04r)
Does it perform better, or is it just bells and whistles? Or is it the layout you prefer?

The Owl !Ln5bimouKo replied with this 15 years ago, 6 minutes later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #74,017

@previous (F)

BitTorrent bought uTorrent some time ago and since then BitTorrent and uTorrent are identical bittorrent clients. BitTorrent does add the program DNA to its download. DNA does nothing for the individual user, but is running all the time and uses more memory than the bittorrent program.
If you disable or delete DNA, the two are identical.

Usenet/download sites are faster and in some cases more secure

They look slightly different but it doesn't matter much. I just prefer it because whatever.

I think OP is on Vista, btw. uTorrent works for that?

Demonoid is not that special. Just use TPB, and get utorrent (if you are on Windows/Mac).

r04r replied with this 15 years ago, 5 minutes later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #74,038

@74,033 (H)
As far as I know, yes.

@previous (I)
Yes.

@74,022 (ヲワナメ !COOOOOLbus)
Lolnah. Torrents are easier and usually cap out my connection at 1.3MB/s
