p2p searching for dummies

[Tell]

Firstly to Alex and the OCC team, many thanks for the excellent web site and your on-going efforts to improve this site. I especially like the way this site is kept clear of professional porn.
Secondly to all the posters, I am sure your posts are appreciated by the silent majority. I think that at times the lack of appreciation shown in the threads is down to pure computer skills (where is the reply button!) or a wish not to embarrass themselves with silly remarks.
On to the question…..
I use Kaaza, share Bare, Limewire and the like to search the p2p net and all I get is junk. What are other members using to get the quality stuff posted here?
I also need to educate myself about Bit Torrent and FTP, since I have seen this referred to a few times on the site. Any good links?
If anyone (Alex?) would like to help educate us “Neanderthals” then perhaps we could also start contributing instead of lurking and taking all the time.

All spelling mistakes are the fault of Mr Gates !!!

Tell,

I'm sure other members will be able to help out with your p2p questions, but to be honest I haven't been using that sort of file sharing for the past couple of years. I've just been too busy for that kind of "hit or miss" searching.

Good luck,

I've gotten the majority of my stuff off of newsgroups. If you've got the money I'd suggest subscribing to EasyNews or GUBA (where, according to Alex's sig, "You can find anything there" ).

As for p2p, I'm currently using Shareaza, but it's a lot of time, patience and luck to find anything decent. P2P was a lot easier before spammers/spyware/etc . Here are a few general suggestions though:
- use your filters; if you're looking for "flashing" filter out "mardi gras" (how you filter depends on your p2p program)
- check the size of the files being returned on your search; files <100kB in size usually aren't worth it, and files of EXACTLY the same size are most likely the same file despite being named differently; if you can, set a size range to help narrow your searches (eg. 1-5MB, 5-10MB, etc)
- avoid file names like "xxx upskirt sex porn celeb..." and so on.
- have patience when d/l a file; The one guy who has a legitimate file you're looking for may be on a 14.4kb dial-up modem with 20 other people d/l from him.
Also, check out http://www.zeropaid.com/ they have info, news, and forums on all sorts of p2p stuff.

Don't be to surprised if not too many people respond to this. If too many people give away their secret fishing spots, there'll be no more fish to catch .

Hope that helped.

The best torrent site I have found for porn is...http://www.empornium.us/ The great thing with it is you get stopped from downloading if you dont upload as much as you download which stops the leechers which you get on p2p like kazaa. The best p2p network I've found for music and porn is winmx as its not full of spyware like kazaa.

Many thanks for the suggestions guys. I will have a look around those web sites and see what is on offer.
Looks like a bit on night school is required to learn more about bit –torrent and so on.
