torrent help?

[benjamin]

ok, there are like.. 10 albums i want atm, quite badly. and i can't afford to buy them all. so i'd rather download them..

problem is, idk torrents never work for me. i have BitTorrent and uTorrent, whichever one i use, neither of them work, so i just need general help and ideas on hwo to get them working

or is there any other way i can download albums without torrents? >_>

[English]

I've got a good idea! Go out - get a job and go buy the albums yourself.

[benjamin]

um, no.

[Charlie]

I've got Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/), and i go to torrentspy.com (http://www.torrentspy.com) and get the torrents to download in Azureus. Works okay for me.

thanks char :] i'll try that now.

edit: i can't download Azureus, as i need to download java, which i can't as it always comes up saying 'error cannot download java due to proxies' blahblah or something ;__;

[samsaBEAR]

well i use uTorrent and it works fine for me
un-install it, then re-install it, then go trhought the little tutorial type thing at the start, that may be the reason why its not working for you

[benjamin]

ok, i'll try that now.

[Smiddy]

Make sure you have a well seeded torrent, I use the same as Charlie (both the programme and the site o_O) and the site is probably 1 of the more helpful 1's. :)

Equally, if you want to try and find the best 1, you could use www.torrentz.com

Make sure you're opening the files in the download programme, it saves time :p

[benjamin]

umm ok, i wanna download the one charlie mentioned but it won't let me >_>. i'll try that site now, thanks.

[samsaBEAR]

another good site is
www.demonoid.com
however they only open for registration on fridays, and this friday they wont be open due to server problems

[Smiddy]

What are you trying to download Ben?

[benjamin]

jamie t - panic prevention
the klaxons - forgot the title
fall out boy - infinity on high

atm :[

edit: sam i registered on there :P

[Smiddy]

jamie t - panic prevention

OK let's try to help you out then.

(Btw - good choice with the klaxons, me loves that album :8)

http://www.mininova.org/tor/572343

That's the klaxons - myths of the near future
click on "Download this torrent" > Open (with) > Find your torrent programme > OK.

Your download programme will then open, and you can just carry on from there. :)

[English]

ok, there are like.. 10 albums i want atm, quite badly.


the klaxons - forgot the title


You must want the album so badly if you don't know the name/ "forgot the title"
Stop ripping off the band and go buy their album. With buying the album you fund them to record a new album/go out on tour so stop being selfish and ripping the band off "/

[benjamin]

oh i was trying to click that and realised i was half way through doingwhat sam said - uninstalling then reinstalling.

lmao let me reinstall torrent, one sec :]

oh craig jesus christ shut up? i've already said i can't afford to get all of them, there are a hell of a lot more people than just me that download some music, so why go on at me? i really couldn't care about your opinion, in my eyes it's worthless. oh and i apologise for having a bad memory?

[Seatherny]

I use torrentspy.com & utorrent and they are ace.
You could use limewire?

[benjamin]

i'm just re-downloading utorrent, thanks :]

&does limewire actually download albums? or would i have to download each song one by one? :P if the torrents don't work again, i'll end up downloading them one by one lmao.

ok tom, i downloaded utorrent again, clicked that link and tried to download it, this poped up O_o

Jesus won't help you now child. I'm not digging at you specifically - I was having a go at Matt yesterday about it and now it's your turn because of this thread:) If you can't afford it why not go and get a frigging job. Hell if you wanted a new TV you wouldn't go steal that cos you haven't got the money. You really are dumb at times:rolleyes: My opinion is worth more than yours thankyou very much.

how can your opinion be worth more than mine? you call me dumb at times? and no i wouldn't go steal a TV, this is a totally different context. and i am planning on getting a job, i have an applicatation form right infront of me thanks, and they're hiring as from march. but until then i'll download as i like. i don't download all my music, i buy a lot of it too.

Interesting, never seen it do that before.. I can't help there then, i'm afraid.

I just want to say, that if it's there for you to download, then why not do it? And, you could also download them and listen to them before you go and buy the album, it saves you wasting money if its crap, when you could download it and listen to it to check really doesn't it?

Well, that's my side of it anyway.

ah damn, thanks for trying nevertheless :]

Make sure the ports our on and that your firewalls not blocking it?

[benjamin]

firewall isn't blocking it. but tarrr.

I call you dumb at times - yes. For example you put socialising on the computer with online friends ahead of your education...need I say more. Hows stealing a TV a different context? Stealing is stealing. That's like saying raping 10 people is a different context to raping 2 people - it's still a bad thing. If you're planning on getting a job why not wait till March - hell it's not even a month away:rolleyes: You blatently don't buy a lot of your music - because if you're intending on downloading 10 albums then you'd have to buy more than 10 albums at a time because if you buy a lot of albums then you must download a little, which means you intend on buying atleast 11 albums for it to work out.

[hobo]

tbh, if you could download TVs and things i would :D

[benjamin]

wth, the raping thing has NOTHING to do with it, and for the record raping two people, and raping 10 doesn't make a difference no. they're the same thing. however downloading music and stealing a TV are two TOTALLY different things, hence how you was taking things out of context. and i don't put the computer ahead of my education, i made a thread yeah as i was finding it hard to focus on one bit of english coursework, and i was lacking motivation at that persific time. i'm doing better than i thought i would in my education, but thanks for your concern :rolleyes:

[Luckyrare]

Search warez forums on google. Some sites have music downloads and you can download the zip from a server (most of the time its megaupload.com)

good luck

I'll disprove the first theory of if it's there then why not download it. I mean that could be said about everything. If there's a TV there you can't have why not take it, if there's a girl there you can't have then rape her. That's a stupid comment to say and with you and Ben being "music lovers" then surely you shouldn't be stealing off of bands you like. Sure downloading it lets you preview the album but thats like going to McDonalds and eating burger and if you don't like it(because it doesn't suit your taste) then you not paying for it -_-

I still fail to see how you're doing well in education with words such as "persific" being in your posts. Yeah - you're doing great in English I see.

[samsaBEAR]

mine sometimes does that, i just try re-downloading the torrent file
when you re-installed uTorrent, did you do that speed test+check if the port was forwarded?

no, i didn't.

no, i didn't.

If in a job application you were to spell words incorrectly and another applicant was to spell them right I'm pretty sure they would get the job over you in the majority of jobs.

well if i was writing a job application i'm pretty damn sure i'd try a little bit harder than over the internet.

To be honest although you say that I don't see why you shouldn't "try" over the internet - it gives you good practice on spelling/punctuation.

i don't see any point. and as i've said your opinion means nothing to me.

Shame! I might have to make a leaving thread for some attention as I have low self esteem at the moment...

haha, mr. comedian! as i've said if i did it for attention, i could think of better ways, and if i was that desperate for attention why the hell would i do it over the internet? oh &it's funny how you've fell back on that statement a few times now.
