Movie Downloads?
 

Ok, I need serios help [I know I just set myself up for some stupid jokes, and if your gonna catch me on it...remember, ya aint funny]

I have serous triubles d/l in movies. Ive tried Kazaa, Bearshare, Sharemonkey, and SuprNova.org [Bittorrent site]

None work for me! How do you guyz d/l movies? I know some of you must...

the only luck I've ever had was downloading CkY2k from limewire.Other than that I have problems, too!

Suprnova does a good job. I'm sorry to hear it's giving you problems.

Ya, I always get d/l times like [This is not an exageration, I got this when I tired to d/l Amittyville] 1200 Hours!!!! INSANE!!

Re: Movie Downloads?
 

kazaa...and all those types of p2p apps are crap when it comes to downloading, when compared to getting torrents...

what internet connection do you have?
do you have a firewall? or run the windows XP firewall?
is your firewall setup corectly to allow your BT client access?
have your forwarded ports on your software firewall?
is your modem conected to a router?
have you forwarded ports within the router?

your isp may be blocking or throttling the default BT ports.
are you trying to D/L films that are popular?
do these films have seeds?

Some films have very few seeds and mostly leechers, which will slow the download times.

Thare are many things that can affect BT downloads, most of which I've listed above. What I'd sugest is finding a BitTorrent faq and having a read through it.

Good answer Shanks.

BT Is the way to go.

My recent "purchases"

Dead and Breakfast
UnDead
Dead Hunters
Bone Sickness
A vs P
The Who at the Isle of Wite
Haute Tension


not to mention tons of audio concerts.

I've 'purchased' quite a few films through bt ;) If I dont like em they get deleted, and If I do I'll buy them on DVD and they'll get deleted anyway.

i'll share with you one of the worst kept secrets of the internets ...
USENET (the newsgroups)

I've downloaded close to 1000 movies ..
every format ...

DVD is available to but I have a set top burner so it doesnt do me any good.
The newsgroups are as fast as your service ..
So it depends on your IP.
My IP - the retention on the groups is about 3 weeks and all posts are complete.

i would never bother with any other way.

Some more info would be nice....I tried Google, but couldnt find much. Is there any way to get it free?

gimme a couple of days to put something together ...
