Not DOS, DDoS. DOS = Disk Operating System. DDoS = Distributed Denial of Service attack.

Actually,

DOS = Disk Operating System
DoS = Denial of Service
DDoS = Distributed Denial of Service

The IT industry has too many acronyms heh. So it is not too hard to believe that someone could get hit by the simplest DoS attack, since just about anyone can do a DoS attack. DoS attacks are pretty weak whereas DDoS can be lots of fun.

>:D

What do you mean "actually". "Actually" implies you were correcting me when all you did was write what I did.

and that sort of attitude is why you have 5 disagrees

14 now.

Same mininova and the pirate bay are the sites I often visit when I'm dl'ing my anime and dexter episodes or the random cracked application I need.

Lately because the two have been pretty slow I've had to start using demonoid again.

torrentz.com best god damn site on the internet
its like google but it only shows torrents

Seems to search faster and has good number of trackers in its torrents.

It's a shame that groups like MediaDefender do this stuff - torrents don't only carry pirated stuff. That's like saying all video files on the internet are pirated movies.

It's simply a great new way to transfer files without needing monster dedicated servers, and as with ANY method of passing data between 2 people it does have the possibility of being used for pirated materials but that's unavoidable.

1. Get a new IP. Most ISPs will assign you a new one when you reboot your modem/router.

2. Get a good site, a private one. They often have "karma" systems which encourage people to seed their torrents for longer and reward them for doing so.

3. Yes this is a downer but my upload speed isn't crap, but as I said above it's also a positive.

So just take note of these and don't use the program/close your ports when you are not sharing!

The new way I do it is a lot easier than using torrents. And no need to do any kind of uploading. So that alone is enough to not want to use torrents anymore lol.

And what, you want me to restart my modem every damn time I torrent? Plus I don't have that kind of internet service, my IP doesn't change with a modem reset. It just changes every few weeks.

My upload speed is only 1mbps. Like most peoples internet service. So when I download lets say a blue-ray movie.. That takes a f*ck load of time to upload back again on the private tracker. Or a hell of a long time to download on the public tracker.

I used to be a huge fan of torrents to, but I've seen the light so to speak.. lol

Fair enough, we all have preferences given our own circumstances.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
