I'm like a kid with a new toy, I've just got broadband. Problem is, when on dial up there were loads of interesting things to download, but I could not get them. Now I can, I can't find anything

Anyone recommend and good LARGE downloads, movies, CAD programs etc so I go off and play?

Thanks
Mark

Go to the fluke motorsport website and download their vids

They are about 30mb or so each

Enjoy your new toy....bb is great

Cheers,
David

Movies - I'd recommend Office Space, not at all car related I know but such a good film, especially if you've ever worked in an office. Be warned though, if you currently work in an office and you don't really enjoy it, this will probably push you over the edge and you won't have a job come the weekend

eMule is peer to peer software that lets you download files from other peoples pc's. You can sometimes get movies before they're released and you can get software. Of course it's not entirely leagal and I wouldn't do such things. I definately wouldn't suggest downloading it from http://www.emule-project.net/

Oh, and there's no adverts with eMule, so I'm told.

If you just want to try it out for a laugh go on Atomfilms and watch Angry Kid. There's a new series out.

Red Vs Blue

is a realy good web series
big downloads

lol, funny guy!

something in the original version included a download that would let someone access your computer and use its processor to do sums. The idea was that the dude who wrote it could make a fortune selling processing power. not sure if it ever got up and running though. i read that somewhere whilst getting kazaa lite. tried to find it just now but there are too many references to kazaa lite getting shut down by kazaa for copyright infringement, of all the absurd thing!

405 - the movie

if you have never seen this, you gotta download it.

The site describes how the movie was made - its only about 3 mins long, but i think its great

Kazaa is full of spyware, kazaa lite is better but i can never find anything on it. Overnet is good but by far and away the best is DC++. Only problem is that it isn't very user friendly, you need to know where to look etc.

my mate at work (a software techy) swears by this site

http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/


he downloaded the entire top 40 album chart as a single 2gb file recently

I've been advised that http://suprnova.org is the best place to look - updated every 20 minutes.

It takes a while to view but that's cos it's new every 20 minutes!!!

Bittorrent in conjunction with burst on mine. You'll need divx for a lot of the downloads, just get the free codec.

I definatly don't recommend eDonkey or eMule (clone using the same network). ahem.

Chris,

Thought i would try bittorrent. Im using it with suprnova but i cant get fast download speeds. Max i can get is 10kb/s on 1meg broadband.
Does 'seeds' mean how many people are hosting the file?

There needs to be a fair few people seeding (sharing the file) for you to get decent download speeds. Another problem may be your firewall if your using one.

There are forums to help people sort out thier settings - both the bittorrent software and the firewall software.

Its worth doing a search and finiding how to set it up properly & optimise it.

Still at the end of the day if there is only 1 person sharing it and they have capped thier upload at 3k a second then thats all you'll get
