[DB83]

What is bit comit ?. Do you mean bit comet ?

I do not know whether the use of this can be discussed in these forums due to the warez rules.

[Case]

http://www.cometforums.com/ seems to be a better place for questions on using BitComet.

I do not know whether the use of this can be discussed in these forums due to the warez rules.

Since when were torrent clients considered "warez" here, made against the rules and not allowed



I'm not a bit comet user as i use Azureus & Utorrent so i don't know much about bit comment although i'm sure they are not much different.

Uh oh.... i'm in trouble now

From the rules :

Do NOT provide information on how to obtain warez
Providing information on how to obtain warez.

Do NOT advocate warez
Advocate warez. Recommending the use of warez.

I did express some doubt in my post but that is my interpretation of it. And why else would the OP require the use of a torrent client ?

The highlt respectable Open Suse Linux is available in several forms including as a bit torrent . I believe that other open source material is often available in torrent form.

Yea. Elton John was married once...and to a woman...but that doesn't make him any more heterosexual.

And bit torrent clients are NOT warez.....

I guess car manufacturers should be held responsible & cars considered illegal because people drink and drive

I saw nothing in the OP's post about anything illegal or warez.

Why else would i own semiautomatic assault rifles, rifles and handguns except that i must be a criminal

LOL!!

P.S.
Besides what others have stated, there are lots of LEGAL things programmers, videos, music, ect that are torrented to keep bandwidth cost's down, i would assume is one reason, as i have used it many times for legit reasons so don't assume because someone wants to know about a specific program they are up to no good.

It's like assuming everyone who asks about ripping commercial dvd's are ripping rented disc's.....

[DB83]

That's ok. I stated my interpretation (which from the off I stated I was not sure) and you stated yours. That is the purpose of forums.

But I, some 12 hours after the original post, do not see any constructive response to the question and I am sure that someone who reads here (and writes) would use this torrent client.

Comes down to un-acceptable risk unless a mod would like to come on here and clarify the matter.

Well, here is one.....

You would think so but even though i myself have used torrent programs for years & years, i forgot about this one until i saw this thread....
Like BitTornado and i am sure there are a ton of other bit torrent programs i don't recall that someone somewhere in the world still use.... LOL!!!

Comes down to un-acceptable risk

LMAO!!!!
Seriously...... "acceptable risk" ??
Come down to earth with the rest of us...
LOL!!!

unless a mod would like to come on here and clarify the matter.

A mod will probably never come on here and clarify it, except maybe in FAVOR of it!!
Because torrent programs are NOT warez, are NOT against the rules, are NOT illegal, in any way shape or form by any stretch of the imagination!!

It is just a program!!!
Just like a car is a car and a gun is a gun, people can use any of them for good or bad!!!

I am kind of baffled as to how you do not seem to understand this........

Either you are totally narrow minded or just trolling......

[DB83]

This has got way out of hand. It was never intended to go this way.

The interpretation has nothing to do with the legality of the actual program - I never intended nor stated that. The interpretation, and you have already commented on that, was the use the program.

True that I have come, maybe incorrectly, to a conclusion about that but I am also entitled to make that conclusion. And I totally fail to see where an interpretation of forum rules can be classified as 'trolling'.

The particular rule once again is:

Do NOT provide information on how to obtain warez
Providing information on how to obtain warez.

My, as you put it narrow-minded, interpretation of that is that if someone who was familiar with the program was to actually assist then he could get his knuckles rapped by the mods. That is the risk which I would find 'un-acceptable'

I do not intend to comment any further on this unless you come back with yet another essay which is more a comment on myself than the topic.

[AlanHK]

True that I have come, maybe incorrectly, to a conclusion about that but I am also entitled to make that conclusion.

You are not a mod.
You're entitled to conclude whatever you like, but not to go telling people what they are and are not allowed to do.

If you really thought there was a violation of the rules here, you can alert a real mod. That's what the "report" button on every post is for.

I'll point out that this site includes tool links to several utilities that do torrents -- Video Streaming Recording tools -- and other methods of downloading files.

[Baldrick]

Moving this to the computer section as it's not really video related.

Yes, you are allowed to discuss how to use torrent appz...But as case mentions is http://www.cometforums.com/ a much better place for that.

[chief-1]

ok gu,ys i will try & find the answer there. if i solve the problem i will come back & post what i have found. cheers !!!

[chief-1]

well guy,s i went to cometforums.com to try & find my answer, but unfortuneately i,m still looking for the answer to my dilemma, there was nothing that i could see about what i,m trying to solve in that forum. i will keep looking.....

[Squash]

chief-1,

I don't know anything about Bitcomet but if you need a good torrent program with an easy-to-use scheduler, you might want to take a look at µTorrent (also known as utorrent). Very good documentation, but it's so simple you shouldn't need it. And it's free. Just click on Preferences --> Scheduler and it will be obvious what to do.

If you've got something against µTorrent, then I apologize for wasting your time in mentioning it, since you asked for Bitcomet help and I don't have any.

I'll second his recommendation for utorrent, and add the fact that many torrent sites are deliberately blocking the BC (Bit Comet) client for various reasons.
So, yeah, you should probably just get uTorrent.

[chief-1]

well thanks for that guy,s, but thats the one i have tried last night & it did,nt go off when i set it, unless i,m not setting it right. can some one help me with how do you set it up exactly so it actually works when you want it to. please help.... forums fruitless.....

[lordsmurf]

I use Vuze.
And contrary to mistaken belief/myth, there's a lot of legitimate content on torrents.
It's all about the content, not the venue or messenger.

[Squash]

can some one help me with how do you set it up exactly so it actually works when you want it to. please help...

In µTorrent, to download from 2 AM to 6 AM, seven days a week, you'd set it up as shown below (make sure you put a check in the "Enable Scheduler" box). When you first bring up the scheduler, all of the squares are green. Click and drag over all the squares you don't want to turn them white (the time will display for each square when your mouse moves over it).

After the scheduler is set, when I start a torrent, the torrent's name will show up in the active torrent list, but everything is greyed-out except the "% Done", until the download time starts. When 2 AM rolls around, it should start the torrent, and stop it at 6 AM. To get more help, in µTorrent hit F1 (or click "Help...µTorrent help"), which brings up the user manual, then click on "scheduler" in the Preferences section.

Also, note that you will have to start µTorrent before the scheduled time, it won't start itself up. You can just minimize it and let it run overnight while you sleep.

[Noahtuck]

Careful guys.....

All this talk about other torrent programs may get all us old timers banned!!!!!!!

The particular rule once again is:

Do NOT provide information on how to obtain warez
Providing information on how to obtain warez..

LMAO!!!!

[Squash]

I'm sure he's just using it for Linux distros and such.

In my opinion, a person would be nuts for using bittorrent to obtain copyrighted material; too easy to get busted:
http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/05/13/did-you-download-the-hurt-locker-with-bittorrent-...-lawsuit-soon/

[Noahtuck]

Bittorrent is NOT the same as P2P......

What you said would be more about P2P users.

And by the way.... that movie sucked so bad even if the internet did not exist, it would have still bombed!!!
They were just looking for an excuse and some other reason to blame why it was not the big success they thought it would be, because they could not admit it sucked!!!

So using that "article" as an "example" to make any kind of point is a joke!

LOL!!!

[Squash]

No joke.

I fully agree that "Hurt Locker" sucked big-time. It was well directed, but I could go on and on about the things I found wrong with it. I was glad to see Bigelow get her director Oscar, though. I think she deserved it not for "Hurt Locker" but for "Near Dark". Now that was a vampire movie, not like the crap coming out these days.

But I'll stand by my indictment of bittorrent as a risk. If I'm downloadiing a torrent and I'm hooked up with, say, 40 seeders and leechers, I can see each of their IP addresses. All that's needed is to get a court to issue a subpoena to force the ISPs to turn over the names connected to those addresses. And that article I cited specified that bittorrent was the protocol used, not one of the old P2P programs like emule that so many thousands of people got busted for downloading mp3s with. And even private trackers can be infiltrated by corporate moles.

From Tomshardware.com: "The Hollywood Reports carries an exclusive report in which it claims the producers of Kathryn Bigelow's 'The Hurt Locker' are preparing to file a massive lawsuit against potentially tens of thousands of torrenters. The suit could be filed as early as today and targets BitTorrent users... ISPs seem to cooperating for the most part, and 75 percent of them have already handed over the necessary information required to match IP addresses with BitTorrent activity. The remainder are said to be holding off mainly because of the amount of work it would take."

Of course, odds are nobody's going to come after anyone for torrenting last night's "Big Brother" episode, but you never know when that might change.

[chief-1]

hello every one.... well i have some great news for the people out there that are having trouble with there utorrent scheduler. here,s the solution to the dilemma....... ok first you follow what squash has written in his post, once you have done that you then go back in to utorrent & click on preferences, a blind will pop down for which you can scroll down & click on " start ", that will then put the computer on alert for when the time arrives which will be the time that you set it at. all your downloads will turn from greyed out, to grey download arrows, & next to the torrent, it will have " queued ", then you have completed the set-up for your computer to start downloading your subject. don,t forget to put a tick in the enable box up the top of the page, & also make sure you leave your puter running over night & utorrent running for your subject to be completed by the set times previded by you. i hope i have helped some people out with this thread. good luck & thankyou to every body that gave their time on this project of mine...... cheers to you all !!!

[Squash]

Sorry about that, chief. There's a switch somewhere in the settings where you can make utorrent automatically start any torrent you load. I had turned that on so long ago that I'd forgotten about it, and therefore didn't mention that you'd have to actually start the torrent manually. Glad you figured it out.

[chief-1]

yeh squash i,m just so glad the solution is here now. i,m sure between your,s & my help along with everybody else who put their time in to this problem, people can now feel they can come here & find what their looking for squash. i feel good that i have contributed to helping people with the same dilemma..... cheers every one !!!!

hey squash.... quick question. i,m using firfox, when i click to go on the internet via firefox, it,s just this last week, it,s started to happen, but all the fonts have gone really small in google search box, i have sent you a screenshot, any idea,s?.

[Squash]

No, sorry, not a clue.

[chief-1]

hi ..... is there any body out there that can help me with fonts on my firefox page search box that have all of a sudden gone too small to read what i type in there. appreciate any help... thx anyway squash !!!!

[Jim44]

Try adjusting the "zoom" settings in FF? In the "View" menu.
