Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Try using your browser's search engine and put the word torrent at the end of what you are searching for. You should be able to get some results for your search topic. Download the torrent file and open them with Vuse. Some torrent sites now use magnet links which Vuse can open directly with. However in my experience, magnet links seem much less reliable and occasionally fail whereas the alternative torrent file did not. (I've probably had around a 50% failure rate with magnet links whilst using Vuse.)

There are also some popular torrent sites that have torrents listed into media type categories and topics, and also have search abilities for your topic.

How to get started with Vuse is maybe a question Sleepless would be better at answering.

(I moved and merged your first 3 posts, since they were similar questions but a couple were in the wrong forum section.)

TINFOUR,

You'll find many of the answers you seek here: Beginner's Guide | mOOter's BitTorrent Guide

You can skip the part about Static IP (though it is worth looking into once you get used to using torrents).

Second, while yes if you are interrupted while downloading a piece you will most likely lose that data, lets do a little math having e.g.

A 8.53GB torrent. In my case I lost 55.18MB while downloading it. It was piece size of 2MB = 4366 pieces. Protocol on a bigger piece torrent will generally use around 0.3% (messages back and forth between clients, which depend on a lot of things) approx. 26.2MB

You want 512KB pieces i.e. 17464 pieces. Well that means 4 times as many messages. So 26.2MB x 4 = 104.8MB so 78.6MB more than with 2MB piece size.

Now let's go back to the beginning where I said I lost 55.18MB. Let's say you lose 4 times less with 512KB pieces, so 13.8MB.

512KB pieces = 104.8MB + 13.8MB = 118.6MB waste
2MB pieces = 26.2MB + 55.18MB = 81.4MB waste

IMHO the uploader should have made the torrent 4MB pieces as around 2000 pieces works quite well when minimizing wasted data. But you probably use some bad client like Limewire, so you can't see all the overhead used on small sizes.
Coincidentally just today I noticed two torrents with similar issue, same title but one was DVD-DL (7.5 GB), the other BD (24.74 GB). This is a more extreme example. The DVD-DL torrent used 256 KB pieces. The overhead was an astounding 10-12 KB/s lost to messaging overhead.
Whereas the BD torrent used 4 MB pieces, barely any noticeable overhead at all. I guess divide the 10-12 KB/s by 16 to get the overhead of the BD torrent. I decided to kill seeding the DVD due to so much overhead bandwidth thrown away for nothing. I am instead seeding the BD version. My public torrent ratio is 1.5 and private torrents over double that so hopefully I'm excused. (There are several other same content DVD torrents anyway.)

BD (24.74 GB), 4 MB pieces: overhead not noticeable; negligible. . (5,901 pieces) . (About 0.02 GB extra download.)

DVD-DL (7.5 GB), 256 KB pieces: overhead 10-12 KB/s. . ( approximately 30,000 pieces) . (stats of extra download not available since I killed it. But no doubt, extra waste-age on top of this for both seeders and leechers is a phenomenal amount. ie: 36-42 MB per hour wasted in overhead for the seeder alone. 10 hours seeding this was enough for me. This particular torrent represents very high inefficiency.)



Another point in mind about public torrents is that you may get all kinds of torrent programs and versions (some very old) and their bad data transfers can be high. This is something you do not normally see at private torrent sites where the sites are often strict on which torrent programs and which versions are allowed to use their trackers (for many reasons.) I know Vuse has an auto-banning function for clients that send more than a certain amount of bad data. This can be customized.
