This is an audience boot but of MUCH better quality than mine.

Thanks a billion times to whoever did it, I'll love you forever.

    Unfortunately the PC I have access to isn't mine so I can't use torrent :(
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I'm new to torrent or flac or any of this crazy space-age nonsense... when I click on the link, it looks like it's going to load the page, then says "paage cannot be displayed". Am I doing something wrong, or is the site just really busy and I need to keep trying?
    Thanks.

    when you click what link? this one on the thread? or the one on the bt.etree.org site? If the latter, try right click save as. google for a torrent client, bittornado eg, and install it. Open the downlaoded file from etree with the torrent client.
    Then have patience, torrents mostly need some time to get running on proper speed.
    Meanwhile you can google on Flac codec, first hit, install it. The you can play flac files.


    Oohh i'm soooooooo excited i cant wait till i have it (it'ss running now with only 20 kb/sec :/ ) Hail Hail the lucky ones i refer to those who manage to make a good quality astoria boot !! (or any boot for tht matter, i was verrry happy with yours as well pegasus. I just keeps getting better!!!:)

    You need a program called bit torrent installed on your PC , and software to manage downloading the files.

    http://www.bittorrent.com/

    and

    http://www.bitcomet.com/

    You will need to read up a little on each site to get the gist of whats going on, but once you get used to this it will open up a new world of downloading opportunities, (legally only please ;) )

    OK, so I'm getting these. After doing that, do I just go ahead and download the torrent?

    Ah man, so I've downloaded that, and then downloaded the link. But now it's telling me this:

    Windows cannot open this file.

    To open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it.Windows can go online to look for it automatically, or... blah blah blah.

    I don't get it.

    OK you know what, it's happening :) So that's cool. But it's telling me it's gonna take 8 days to play. lol oh well... so be it. I guess I thought I'd be able to listen to straight away, but I guess not.

    So a torrent is not 'the' file: just, like, a kind of 'gateway' to it? Like a zip?

    a torrent is a little file that gives info like the name of the file(s), some verification numbers that uniquely identitfy it/them and prevent corruption of the file at the same time, and the direction to a tracker, which itself list the IP addresses of everyone sharing that file.
    The program then manages the sharing of various bits of the file between everyone, like all other share programmes.

    (someone correct me if I'm getting this wrong, I might)

    So it's IMPORTANT that you keep the program open even after you've finished downloading (100%) as other people need you to get the file.
    at the very minimum until you're U/D Ratio (that's upload/download) is 1, which mean you gave as much as you took. I'm on 3 and counting.

    When there's enough people sharing it can go VERY fast (depending on your bandwidth of course, with my 15Mb broadband, a CD takes about a quarter of an hour at full speed).

    btw, there's nothing wrong with BitComet. uTorrent is also a good one.

    NO CLIENT IS FASTER THAN ANY OTHER CLIENT.
    If configured correctly, EVERY client will get MAX speed for that particular torrent, EVERY time.

    Azureus used to have a memory leak issue where eventually it would bloat, now it doesn't. It's the most customizable, so I choose it as my personal choice.

    Utorrent is GREAT for noobs, I find it seriously lacking for power users.

    Bitcomet is a leech client, meaning it will connect to the same tracker multiple times from the same IP in an attempt to secure more speed (because trackers automatically moderate available bandwidth.) Many, MANY sites ban bitcomet for this reason.

    Bitlord is now and has always been full of spyware and, in general, is nothing more than a bit of bloated crap. It's the only client that ever paid trackers to advertize it...now where do you think they get that money?

    ABC is also very good.

    The original BitTornado is also very good.

    Anyway, my 2 cents? Azureus all the way. ALL the way.

    PEACE.

    I'm not talking speed I'm talking functions.
    And leech implies you're not giving back the bandwidth which has nothing to do with the way you say BitComet 'supposedly' works. There's a private tracker site I use that banned it for a few weeks, but they have long re-established it so whatever the problem was must have been resolved. Btw your statement on comet contradicts your first sentence.

    The reason I prefer BitComet is a) it gives the choice of where to save (Azareus doesn't, not anyway if you click on the link from a site to open directly. Having to first save the torrent , then go to open the program, then select the torrent is a pain to me) and b) it has an auto-shutdown function when your ratio reaches whatever you decide (but has to be >1, so no leeching). Has I generally launch my downloads in the morning, I don't want to have my PC running all day for nothing.

    If Azareus resolves those 2 I might go back to it, if only for RSS auto-download (but that's useless to me without the other 2).

    So depending what you need to do with a client is how you choose it.

    You most certainly can chose where you want to save a torrent with Azureus.

    yeah, i don't get this at all.

    i download the torrent and double click, launching Azureus. Lazy me doesn't even have to bother with file, open and browsing for the damn thing. The torrent file is so small you can throw it on your desktop.

    i love this damn program. its default port choices are good, it's default settings are great for noobs, and even though i didn't need the help, i recently saw instructions on their site for how to manage the various firewall programs.

    As for ratio issue, that's being a good person. Not only that, believe it or not systems work better when you let them run. You just need to practice good PC hygenie by scanning and running active protection. Counterspy is outstanding. It's newest update recognizes Viewpoint. LOL I hate that fucking program because I never give permission to install it. It's a self installing POS.

    Tell me, how many PCs have you come across that don't have Viewpoint?

    Anyway, you're more likely to encounter a problem on boot up then at any other time ESPECIALLY if you are on the net downloading torrents. If so, you'd better be damned certain to scan thoroughly before you shut down. I can't tell you the problems I've dealt with in helping people who've used torrents and fucking shut down after downloading. OH DUH.

    Rebooting to clear memory is an excellent idea and a good practice, but unless you're running software updates over a network, daily shut downs are over doing it.

    lol, most of this is over my head, but thanks to everyone who has tried to help out those of us who are technologically retarded, I'm trying to download the flac file now.

    I just need to figure out how to open and play a flac file now, heh. It's gonna be a fun afternoon.
