Nick Garland Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) Hi, as everyone knows trials-shack's future looks bleak and we need another form of hosting or sharing videos. I remember after bike guernsey went down someone posted a topic using bittorrent technology which alot of people are familiar with on this forum. I personally am not clever enough to create a bittorrent tracker or a site like Torrent Spy to list all the torrents but I'm sure someone is clever enough. With the new trackerless torrents and technology just being released it might be easier than some think to make a working trials-torrent site. Also due to them being torrents it wont use anyware need the 1200gb of bandwidth a month TS did but for it to work people would have to be willing to seed the videos. As for seeding the videos maybe the original maker and the people in the video seed it for 2 months solid, then everyone who downloads it has to seed it for a week or something like that so that the videos can be accessed. One torrent site has a feature coded in where if your download to upload ratio is below what they ask you cant access torrents from there until your ratio is fair with others. I'm just thinking of alternative ideas to using eengogodiee as 3 videos a day limit got very boring after a while.

oakley Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm just thinking of alternative ideas to using eengogodiee as 3 videos a day limit got very boring after a while. ← didnt get any of the first bit, but my limit for eengoedidee isnt 3 a day, and i dont pay for anything??!! strange! joE! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 There used to be a 3 downloads a day limit on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 There used to be a 3 downloads a day limit on there. ← Its 6 now. I don't really think the downloading daily limit is the users may concern though. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Bit torrents thingys are a good idead, but i doubt you'll get any decent dowload speeds off of them. And then people won't use it and go back to Een. :- I tryed to upload a small clip to google video thingy and i got a snotty email sent to be reminding me of copyright laws, seeming to be implying i had done it. When it was my own clip. ^_^ So that isn't going to well ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Its not asif you get good speeds of een anyway I get about 4kbs on a 2mb connection and its pathetic. If everyone uploaded videos at 10kbs you would only need 10 people to get a dl speed of 100kbs and whilst your downloading you can upload it too so speeds wouldnt be too bad.

Twilite Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I get perfect speeds from BitTorrent with well seeded files. The thing is, it wouldn't be as reliable as other places; Shack you know you'll always get decent speeds. Een you know you'll always get poor speeds. If we set up a BitTorrent page, which I'll well up for helping out with, the popular vids; Cultivated, SelectBikes, CLS etc would have decent speeds because lots of people want them, but people sharing their own videos will struggle a lot. But ti's definitely worth looking into, anyone else agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) Apparantly just you and me seem up on the idea. Im more than happy to help but I dont have the skills although I could learn unless people would use it then its wasting time. People could actually use the program for something legal :lol: Can understand the point about some video's getting good speeds and others bad speeds but msot people have a 2mb connection on here (im guessing) and can upload at 25kb's so if a few people with faster connections were willing to upload faster only need a few people to get a decentish speed and you wouldnt run out of bandwidth.

Sam Nichols Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 http://ul2.rapidshare.de/ As long as you keep your files to 50mb max and, if your a tight b*****d, you dont mind low priority download speeds/queuing then this is great... Alternatively pay £20 and get the dogs bollocks package allowing top priority downloads, top priority queuing and 50gig bandwidth (must be enough for one person!)
