Howdy all,

not quite a game Q but this section probably has the highest number of geeks per pixel. :D

Have any of you paid to d/l movies from the various pay sites? NO NOT for pr0n! :talk2hand

The speed of shareaza and the like is akin to water torture so I'm wondering if the pay sites are better or just a sham to take your money and offer the same speed as the freebies.

tia :(

maybe they just don't like you? have you used lots of cool hacker terms like: "l33t" "n00b" "r0x0r" etc?

This could all help with your download. I guess it mostly just depeds on which sites/people are seeding the downloads. perhaps you are downloading stuff that's not popular and hence not hosted on anything fast?

I know someone (wink) thats been using a certain paysite for about a year now without any issues. It has everything you could want (well it keeps me happy) and works on a monthly unlimited data subscription.

I have no idea how I found it but its better than any P2P you could dream of.

Bittorrent would be your best bet.

Download Azureus (google for it)

Unblock port 6881 on your router (I just unblocked port 6800-6900)

Find some good bittorrent sites, your set.

Dont know whether we are allowed to post the names of the sites cos of illegal stuff.

Beauie is on the right track leeching from Usenet. Get a good leech prog like Newsleecher, sign up for a news server (most are USD $10 or less p/m) & leech some binaries @ 700kB/s. You'll be downloading video faster than you can watch it.

alt.binaries.cd.image

alt.binaries.games

alt.binaries.games.encrypted

are some goodies that should keep you busy for a while. Just scroll thru the alt.binaries.*list, look for the ones with lots of posts (10's of 1000's) they're the ones with all the goodness. you will definitely want a program called QuickPar to repair damaged archives.

Makes broadband worthwhile eh ?

In the past I've just been using torrents... never heard of the newsgroup method. So i have to subscribe and pay?

If you use torrents the following sites are the best I know of...

www.filelist.org

www.filemp3.org

www.torrentbytes.net

Anyone know of any better ones for PS2 games? I know of torrentreactor and thepiratebay but they aren't real good for them either.

    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
