Bit torrent

It is just a plain better way to download patches.. trailers and the like.
since things resume correctly etc...

I am a registered with borland and I am trying to get their community edition jbuilder. but the ftp/http download keeps b0ning me by failing.. or being corrupt. TORRENT. there ARE legit things u can use it for.

Speil over.

I connect to the internet through a LAN at uni halls. This has a BIATCH of a router/firewall and I can't get them to open the ports.

HOW on earth do I go about circumventing this, I read loads but its just people saying "it is slow wtf ?", but it seems possible to do. Speed is not really an issue as long as things download and resume as needed I can wait..

I have a load of clients installed the basic behaviour I get is that things NEVER get started which is to be expeced.

thanks for any help in advance

it is slow but very useful. I use it most of the time for downloads and there is very little better than it.

The fact is though that most people use it for downloading illegal stuff. Just like most people used napster originally to download illegal music. Useful software, but mostly abused.

its k.. I gave up on the idea....

Since nobody wanted to explain it
I just stuck it out and got the goddamn thing over http...

the 4th time i downloaded it over http... ftp connection was flaking out... but http was corrupt. NOW. the Uni email account I used to register for Borland all those years ago ??? Its closed. So I don't have the reg key... and can't bloody use it without making my trial edition cracked..

I gave up. they aint getting my only remaining email account. because they DO send u spam. and I suppose it is just a trial and error dealy to get that little GUI made from a text editor
