Lads, i use Isohunt to download stuff onto utorrent and it is going well. The site is free and you donāt have to register or anything. Iād only really download something where there are a good few seeders and preferably where there are a few comments giving it the all clear. I came across a film i wanted to download yesterday and there is only one file really with a decent number of seeders (i donāt download something with less than say 100 seeders) but a comment said there is a ātrojanā on the file so i left it.
Do ye use any other sites for downloading that ye would recommend? I was signed up to one before, think Mr Totti might have gave me an invitation but they kicked me off it as i wasnāt giving anything back.

I used to use demonoid and am in very bad form since it got taken down.
Are there āsaferā ways to torrent? Presumably there are some ways of cloaking your ip address so as to minimise your exposure to prosecution and what have you.

There are tricks but to be honest youāre not really hiding from your ISP.
UPC broadband usersā¦
Anytime I download torrents anymore my broadband connection disappears after a few minutes practically every time. When I say disappears I mean there is no wireless signal even listed not to mind being able to connect to it. I reset the router, signal comes back, run utorrent and it goes again. Is it possible UPC are somehow blocking me from downloading? I even tried a different torrent software but the same thing happens. Going on a while too so it has, awful sickening.
No idea. Just read about it somewhere. It took me about 5 years to figure out how to do it in the first place so I doubt il be the fella to find a solution!
Yes, and no I donāt think thatās ever happened to me. Could be something to do with your port forwarding. Donāt ask me to explain it because I donāt understand it but you should look it up.
Are you using wifi? Itās much more likely to be related to your router than to anything related to UPC blocking anything. For want of better phrasing theyāve always been the most ātorrent-friendlyā of the ISPs and I hadnāt heard anything about that changing. Any chance of a link Dan? Not disputing that, just would find it surprising.
The problem itself is probably caused by the router and Iām guessing you might have the Cisco EPC 3925 which does that sometimes. A wired ethernet connection works perfectly but it often loses and then refreshes the wireless causing a lot of frustration.
The only solution I know of is to purchase a router, turn the Cisco modem/router into a bridged connection and let the other router handle the wifi.
If a wired internet connection is causing the same issues then you have a different problem.
