Bit Torents

[FrediKanoute]

The life blood of us o/s supporters is Bit Torrents (unless you can find a pub or subscribe to a pay TV network which shows the games). Anyway, I typically use MiniNova and IsoHunt as my torrent go getters. I used to use Demonoid, but they ran foul of the Canadian recording Artists or something and have had to close down. Shame. Anyway, Just wanted to say that if anyone does manage to see the game on Foxtel if you get the chance to convert it to digital and upload as a torrent I for one will be very greatful.

Can you explain bit torrents to those of us who are still a little technologically challenged?

How does it work?
Do you need any extra software?
How much bandwidth does it take up?
How long does it take to download?

For AFL games I use a forum that is closed to registration and only accessed via invite only http://aussietorrents.com/

And funnily enough i just received an email today informing me that i have been allocated invites! I haven't checked how many but if anyone wants in, pm me!

If anyone gets anymore Aussie Torrent invites, can you let me know. A few guys on BF said they'd invite me last year but never did, which sucked a fair bit cause as Freddie said, Torrents are gold for us O/S boys.

I'll endeavor to make a habit out of downloading the initial torrent file and uploading it on here for others to use.

Seeing that no-one answered my earlier post.

It sound really good that you would do that. Thanks. But what does it mean?

Will I just be able to download the file?

[wb_age]

Just google it mate, much simpler then have someone else explain it to you.
And yes, if i am able to load the file on this for use it will basically mean you just have to open the torrent file in the appropriate program for it to start downloading.
