Steve Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Trick asked me to write a guide for him to use on his website. I finished it earlier so I thought I'd put it up here too. If you don't know how to use Azureus or BitTorrent, then check it out cos you're missing out on downloading a lot of stuff: - .:. SIGMA'S BITTORRENT GUIDE (LEFT CLICK) .:. I put it up as a web page. Hopefully it displays OK but if it doesn't please PM me so I can fix it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rygon Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 great link...ive read it and seem to understand...thanx for that..wont have to rely on kazaa any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 It's dead simple to use. In that guide I go into enough detail you need to get Azureus running nicely. There are so many torrents floating around on the net that it makes most other file sharing stuff unnecessary. I still use Soulseek for music now and again, but everything else comes from Suprnova.

Guest Deeswift Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 That's probably the best BT guide I've seen, I even learned something despite having been an Azureus user for a long time. Props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 Thanks mate! In return for writing it, Trick offered to put the links to my mix and some info about it on his website, so I had to make it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 That's cool, worked out good for both of you. What site is it, btw? I lose track of how many sites Trick runs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 I don't actually know. Hehe. I pmed him the guide and he pmed me back asking if I wanted to have some links on his site in return. It was quite late though so I assume he'll do it tomorrow. I'm guessing it'll be mrtrick.net as it doesn't really fit in with any of his others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dextrous Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Is this still handy? Someone is asking me about bit torrent and i thought i would save myself some typing by sending him this. cheersh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 It got deleted man. If you still keep in touch with Trick, then ask him cos he might have a copy in pdf format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTim Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I didn't see this fast enough, but what I've gotten from looking around is, just search though the torrent sites, find one, download that. Then, once you have the torrent file downloaded, you just download the actual torrent with BitTorrent. I've done that with the Madlib one mattnice put up for me, but it's yet to move forward at all. And as I was typing the last sentence, it turned yellow, which it says means it's stalled. Any tips for me? I think I'm doing it right. Is the thing just to wait now?

Steve Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 That torrent is dead mate. When you visit a torrent site and pick out a file you want to download, pay attention to the number of seeds and peers. If you use Mininova for example, seeds are shown in green and peers (or leechers) are shown in blue. Seed = somebody who is sharing the complete file. Peer/leecher = somebody who is still downloading the file. In order of preference, you should pick torrents like this: - 1. A decent amount of seeds & peers (Perfect!)2. Some seeds, 0 peers (OK!)3. 0 seeds, some peers (May never complete)4. 0 seeds, 0 peers (Torrent is dead) Only go with 3 or 4 if it's a particularly sought after file that you can't get anywhere else as it may never complete (or even start for that matter).
