Ever downloaded a torrent, and remained astonished why sometimes the speed is very fast while some other times, it's very slow(or the download is impossible)? Ever imagined why third party softwares are needed to downloaded these files?
Ever thought why downloading torrents is so different from regular downloads? Ever asked yourself about terms like torrents, seeders, leechers and etc? This guide is mainly related to all these things called BitTorrent and how to make the maximum of it. This guide is a bit long, so you might drink some coffee, when reading it.:-). Let's start off on. Is a file sharing protocol used for distributing large amount of data.
Cloanto C64 Forever 7 v7.1.33.0 Plus Edition 137 MB When the C64 was launched by Commodore in 1982 it immediately set the standard for 8-bit home computers. Its low cost, superior graph. Hi Guys, In honor of the (roughly) 10 year anniversary of starting the C64 Preservation Project, I am offering the newest version of the collection for 'no strings attached' download to anyone via torrent.
So you can share your files(sometimes really large) using a technology(or protocol) called. Now, is a sort of network composed of participants who make a portion of their sources available directly to their peers without a server. When making normal file downloads, the files are in fact being downloaded from a server. But and doesn't require a server, because you are downloading the file from someone just like you. To make things more clearer, let's see how a torrent is made. Ron just like you has a movie on his computer. Now, he wants to share the movie to the whole world.
Lying on his desktop is a called, he clicks on the program and he decides to create a torrent with the movie. The movie remains on his desktop, but now a small file(of around 50 KB) is created and now he uploads the small file(with a.torrent extension) to (a ).
Ron now realizes that is actually doing something called seeding, and it's uploading the file in other words. But in fact Ron is not uploading the file to a server, but directly to the person who is downloading it.
Robin(leaving far in the Caribbean) is one of the person who is downloading the movie from Ron. He has a super mega-fast internet connection and the file is downloaded is seconds. Now Robin also starts seeding the file just like Ron is doing.
Several other persons start to download the movie, but they are at the same time downloading and leeching. Now in this paragraph, there are several terms and actions happening which are explained below:.
Ron uploaded the file and he was seeding. Seeding is one of the most vital acts on. If no one is seeding, never expect to download a torrent. Seeding is usually done after downloading the torrent and it's in fact uploading the movie to other peers(or leechers) who are downloading the movie. Seeding can be done by any user who has already downloaded the torrent. is the 'special' software used to download(or leech) torrents and seed.
There are similar to available freely. The small.torrent file is a metadata file which is not the file(or movie) itself but it contains important informations concerning the file to be downloaded. The.torrent file is download from like and is opened using. is(metadata.torrent files) classified in a good order. It's also one of the website where you can upload your torrents(metadata.torrent files). Identical to, also exists.
Robin is a seeder for the file as he is now uploading the movie from his computer to other peers who are downloading it. Robin has to download the movie first before seeding. Other peers can also seed but only after completely downloaded the file. The other person who are downloading the movie are both downloading the movie and leeching.
A very well written guide!One of the things which took me a while to understand when I first started using torrents was the.torrent file. I think in simple terms you could say that it tells you're 'special software' where to download the file(s) from, keeping in mind that there might be more than sources (peers).It's a shame you didn't mention ports and DHT settings!:D lol, that might have been a bit too confusing:sMight blog a troubleshooting guide on torrents in the future.Awesome post, eager to read the next one:).
Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 8 Released - the official Amiga emulator, preservation and support suiteCloanto released today version 8 of Amiga Forever and C64 Forever, the official Commodore/Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows. Early thoughts on Google+ users moving to Pluspora and MeWe social networks (they're not going to Facebook I hear)I see a lot of users already gravitating towards these two networks. Both are built on excellent principles based on preserving privacy, no selling users data, being free to use, no adverts, no spyware, etc.
To be honest, I can't dive into either fully yet, mostly because I need to replicate my posts across a few networks and my RSS feed and believe it or not, this is one thing that neither of these two do! But let me just highlight a few observations that clarify where they are different too:MeWe:1.
The prettier of the two with a better mobile app.2. Has more of a Facebook feel but without all the clutter, privacy issues, etc of Facebook.3. Strong statements around privacy and has Sir Tim Berners-Lee on their advisory board.4. Centrally run so all contacts, posts etc on one server. Does mean if that closes down it all dies.5.

How to Configure Acurite Weather Station with Weewx since Acurite ended their cloud support for many models at end Feb 2019As many Acurite weather station users know, Acurite decided to discontinue their cloud service for weather stations bought in the last two or more years effective end February 2019. So this left users like myself with Acurite 5-in-1 Weather Stations and its Smarthub no longer able to upload weather data to the Acurite cloud dashboard or Weather Underground.But necessity is the mother of invention and maybe you will be even better off with Acurite's cloud if you use an alternative like Weewx. Weewx is an alternative free and open source weather service will either read weather data as-is via a USB link from these weather stations, or if yours is like mine without a USB connector and it only has the Smarthub, it can be configured with an alternative driver to read data from the Smarthub across your local network.The big pluses though are:.
