Utorrent question

[asingh]

Is it necessary to pay for private trackers as I use public one and many a while I see them while searching for torrents and seems they need to crate an account with payment option. I read previously that "PT can be only joined by invite" else "when free registration is open" so is paying necessary otherwise or any other conditions are there.

That is an option to get into a PT. But they open up once in a while, and you can register for free. Or a member (existent) can give you a code key. The code key givers are usually quite strict and ask for screen shots from other PT's to check the ratio. PT's ban leechers quite quite quick.

Basically you have to keep alert when they open. Now, don't ask how you will find out.

Anyways, here is a link.

Public torrent sites are best and have much larger no. of seeders and leechers than public ones. So as long as you can find desired torrent in public sites go for it and you will usually find them mostly. Also public trackers have strict rules. I mean download and don't upload and you'll get yourself banned pretty quick so I usually stay away from them not because I don't want to upload but because my upload speed is very low as compared to download speed so I can't keep up the ratio desired by private trackers.

Q1: Is udp & http both r same trackers?
e.g: http -->tracker1.com/
udp --> tracker1.com/

Q2: Is this both trackers r one & same?
e.g tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce
tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce

Sometimes its a necessary evil. I myself is a member of a Bengali private torrent and I can tell you there are so much good and sometimes rare materials available I can assure you won't get them anywhere else on the earth. My ratio is around 80% there. And its an achievement on an EVDO connection.

There are Pros and Cons of both Public and Private Trackers .. i will be honest , when i first discovered private trackers , i thought they were the best thing on the internet [ 2008 , public ones were miserable then , 10+ leechers for every seeders ] ... Maxxing out on a 2 Mbps connection , only possible in private. I have had my fair share of experience with them [ i was addicted rather :\ ], but now i have grown out of them. It all comes down to what you need , it does not matter where you are getting it from , just that you are getting it without any trouble.

He obviously meant to prefer Public trackers than private b'cause they have much health and Don't follow much of Ratio rules like the private ones !

 

[asingh]

Reason why I do not use Public trackers, cause the content is not guaranteed. Hate wasting time DL'ing stupid stuff, and then been taken to a pay site for a special player to launch the file. Or you get virus.

Definately the most important reason for using private trackers for me/.


Rare Content - TPB has lots of stuff which are dead for ages in Private Trackers.

Speed - You can maxx out your speed [ Even a 50+Mbps ] with Premium Acc of Hotfile , Fileserve etc ..

But authentic stuff , both public trackers / Filehosts filled with notorious fake files , viruses , Password protected RARs linked to Sharecash .. Private means 100% ggood.

Plus PT's force you to "support the community" with contention ratio rules. Public is full of leechers.

Q1: Is udp & http both r same trackers?
e.g: http -->tracker1.com/
udp --> tracker1.com/
Same tracker, different protocol.

Q2: Is this both trackers r one & same?
e.g tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce
tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce
Same tracker. 80 is the port number.
80 because most websites are on port 80..

You need not worry about this unless you upload torrents.

Thanx buddy u cleared my doubt

 

[asingh]

Just seed.

 

[Zangetsu]

I have two questions in my mind...

Q1:Can I auto start a download in utorrent DL queue?
ex: suppose I have 2 downloads in download queue & only 1 is downloading other is not..
so after 1st download the 2nd will auto start ???

Q2: in torrentz we see a trackers list for each torrent,and we can add the trackers manually?
ex: http:\\tracker.com --> 40 seeds
now when I add this tracker manually I can see its status as "working" but the seeds count is 0.?why its not 40

 

[asingh]

Q1: You would need to check the scheduler for the torrent client. Will check mine at home.

Q2: Why would you add them manually. Not a good practice. Each .torrent file is pass key embedded, for the tracker. It would be cheating.

@Zangetsu: For your 1st query:
Goto: Options -> Preferences.
Then click Queueing tab on the life side. And Enter "1" beside the Setting, "Maximum Number of Active Downloads".

As for your 2nd query, I am not sure, how do you find trackers for a particular torrent. It can happen, there are no seeds available in a tracker. Even without adding tracker manually, there are a lot of trackers in a torrent, in which the seeds count in zero.

sure...

Q2: Why would you add them manually. Not a good practice. Each .torrent file is pass key embedded, for the tracker. It would be cheating.

how can it be called cheating...
as we all know each .torrent has #code with it...
and each torrent site updates their torrent database regularly.so,sometimes
some trackers are not added in the .torrent file.hence we can add more
manually if we know the trackers address...

moreover all trackers listed in torrentz are public trackers I guess...

@Zangetsu: For your 1st query:
Goto: Options -> Preferences.
Then click Queueing tab on the life side. And Enter "1" beside the Setting, "Maximum Number of Active Downloads".

u mean make limitation in active downloads such as 1
& put others in start mode but in queue..
so as soon as one is completed next in queue starts...
have u tried it urself...

I am not sure, how do you find trackers for a particular torrent.

Its simple just google for the #code...

It can happen, there are no seeds available in a tracker. Even without adding tracker manually, there are a lot of trackers in a torrent, in which the seeds count in zero.
