okay what's a "torrent" and how do i make it work

There's quite a good guide, here, http://62.212.84.216/gt2/index.php?topic=1507.0

Ok, in simple terms;

BitTorrent is a method of peer to peer file sharing, where you download a small 'descriptor' or .torrent file. You load this .torrent file into a BitTorrent client (I use Azureus) and it then knows where on the net to connect to other people's computers who are hosting full or partially downloaded copies of the originally shared file. It's a bit like a champagne glass fountain, copies of the file cascade down from the original sharer, down through all the other folk who jump on board and want the file, to you.

When you connect to the pool of people who have and are sharing the file you want, (called a swarm) you download from some or all of them at the sametime. So, each person gives you a small bit of the file you want and it adds up to a very fast download to you.

No one person has to send out a huge amount of data so that everyone gets the whole file, everyone's PC co-operates. it's a very efficient way to distribute files.

For a FAQ on Azureus, have a read of

Gavin, you're awesome. Thanks for doing this!

quote=Jamtart]Folks,

As promised, i've transcoded the documentary shown recently on UK's Channel Four, 'The Perfect Penis' and uploaded it to a reliable bit torrent site.

http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/P/penis_envy/

The penis is the organ most central to a man's sense of self, and the quest for penile perfection has driven some men to extraordinary lengths. This programme meets the Russian surgeons who chopped off a man's penis and re-grew it on his arm, the man whose penis has real pulling power, and the man for whom too big is just not big enough.

Video: MPEG-4, 784x576pixels, 25fps, 1200 kbit/s
Audio: AAC improved (music), Stereo, 44.1KHz, 128kbit/s.
Total size: 492.8Mb.
Duration: 46:36.01

------

You'll find it at www.gay-torrents.net, as 'The_perfect_penis.mp4', in the torrents, documentary section. You'll have to register on that site to access the file, but it's free.

If this doesn't suit, and someone else would like to volunteer to host the file, no problems. If a volunteer would like to PM with details, that's cool. I'll happily upload it to them.

Please note that i'm NOT going to ftp it to everyone that just asks for it, you'd have to be willing to host it for other people to download from, if www.gay-torrents.net doesn't suit.

I'll also be putting tonight's "The World's Biggest Penis' program, online in the next few days.

cheers, Gavin.[/quote]
