Don't you just love the trackerless protocol? what, you don't know about it?
Azereus has it
Bitcomet has it
and others but I never tried anything other than the above two before, the problem is that they are exclusive to the program that you are using so an Azereus client can't download a file without a tracker from a BitComet peer.
What does it do? well, you know all those torrents out there that use trackers that are too busy to accept your connection or trackers that were run on someone's PC but now it's no more?
The trackerless protocol was designed so it doesn't matter if the tracker goes down, as long as someone has that completed download in their shared directory (set in the options) then you can download it just like the previous incarnations of p2p.
It never ceases to surprise me how many people have got the complete file of a really old torrent, you can be almost certain now that a once popular torrent will still be downloadable after a year, I have my own torrents out there that still show many seeds a year after I stopped seeding it myself.
Right now I am downloading a series of audio books to listen to on my way around leafleting the local area, I'm looking forward to catching up on some titles I have had my eye on for a while now. No more "not enough time" excuses, plus I get a sore neck reading a book (probably because I don't put it down for hours at a time).
Thanks to Akufu blog for setting me off on an audio book frenzy! You should check out the blog yourself, it's pretty new but deserves a read because of it's excellent articles written in a nice friendly way (and grammatically correct - wish I was more articulate!) . Plus Akufu is an original blog name which is refreshing, I wonder what it means?
Unoriginal blog names?
My first Camtasia screencast
I made a Camtasia video of how I made a flyer for my lotto business (going really well!!! yey) and it had a great response, I even put it up as a download on some torrent sites and it's had 1500 downloads in 4 days! (good free advertising, yum). Click here to see the post on my other blog with the video...

ReplyDeleteI always laugh when I heard (or read) Bend It Like a Banana. He always makes me laugh (well, his blog...)
this is one I have been fiddling with so I can put stuff here that I wouldn't put on the lotto one.
ReplyDeleteglad you found your way here!
