I use BitTornado.

Torrentspy's a website; some kind of BT search engine.

Running steady overhere... However, I do miss Arabian nights in that TOSEC list...

To bad not all of the CD32 releases are in this package, guess approx. 30 games are missing or even more.
Think I have to do some Ebay:ing

Quick question: When I use BitTorrent, will it only upload the things I've downloaded (or are about to download)?

manicx · 13 April 2005, 13:16

Not sure if I understood your question. When you are downloading a file through Bittorrent you are leeching. This means that you download and upload from and to peers. If you finish download, and you want to share, you are seeding which means that you have 100% of the file and you just upload. If you are using Bittorent 4.0.X, you can set up the upload rate with the scrollbar at the top. With previous versions, you have to use command prompt.

I see. I was just wondering wether it shared my whole harddrive to other BitTorrent-users...

I use Azureus, by the way.

The only thing that bittorrent uploads is data that you have downloaded
through .torrnet files. So no it does not share you drive. If you wanted
to share other stuff you'd need to create that .torrent file yourself and
let ppl downloaded that .torrent file and only than can you share other
stuff. I hope that answers your question.

Thanks. I was a bit worried that it would share my whole drive.

manicx · 13 April 2005, 14:27

Haven't used Azureus, but in several P2P clients, you set up a folder that you have files and you share. eMule and Shareaza are two P2P I use and work like that. Usually, you share your downloads folder.

Thanks for the info on TorrentSPy, great Site! Are there more of the same that have Amiga related files? I haven't tried Bittorrents before. I am not sure which client would be best, there are so many.

The links in this thread all seem to be dead now.

Anyone have any good torrent links for loads of WHDloads, pain setting them all up individually.

Why don't you grab KG's packs from his site : http://kg.whdownload.com/kgwhd/ ?

Ah first I've seen of these, game disks and setups already made, just a copy and drop job?

TCD · 24 May 2011, 20:05

Yup, everything is preinstalled, so just copy and play

antonvaltaz · 24 May 2011, 20:20

Also KG's files can be downloaded individually from http://www.whdownload.com/ (if you only want a specific few).
