Im wondering if it is possible to have more than 1 computer dl and write onto 1 hard drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say my old computer that i uses as a download server (stuffed 3 400gig drives into it blah) dl a file with bittorrent. My desktop, dles the same thing, and over my network writes onto the hard drive on the server. I tried to do this with BitComet but it keeps giving me problems. Would be nice since i would have a larger share of the seeder's upload so it would be close to double my dl speed. If i get 2 computer to work i can add my 2 laptops and my sister's and parents computer to it lol. Dling a 20gig file at 20kps is driving me nuts :P

I'd say one of the clients would throw an error saying the file is already in use or something.

 

 

 

Or it'll just start to overwrite what you've already got...

Alternitively you could try running two of the program on the same pc.

And this isnt related to piracy in what way? :-/

not necessarily. I use BT primarily to dl databases for my intern job at a local real estate firm. Its a pain to go back and forth to transfer the files so i set up a seeder on a computer in the office and i dl the stuff overnight. I can get like 120kps on a single computer. However if i divide the db into diff parts and use diff computers to dl it i can dl it much faster. But i dont want to spend time ripping an existing db into smaller parts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other use i put it to is to dl fansubbed anime. Which is NOT illegal if it has not been licensed where i live (the U.S.). They take a year to license so by the time when it becomes piracy its off my computer ages ago lol

Bittorrent is the one p2p standard that can claim to have legit uses without bending the truth at all. You should really know this... quite popular way for sites with very little bandwidth to host files...

I do know this, bus as i suspected he's using it to download anime cartoons ;)

 

 

 

You dont download work stuff to home computer, theres serious security implications there. Especially using bit torrent when in theory anyone could download it if they knew the torrent location.

 

 

 

Its also a common misconception that unlisensed fansubbed anime is legal to download, you are wrong. Contrary to your belief, its still illegal. ;)

Ill give u the link if u seriously want to dl the stuff lol. Basically just data on houses sold over the past 10 years from the local mls (price range, features blah blah). Basically to study market trends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes it is technically illegal, however there has never been a case of someone gettting sued for dling unlicensed anime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is an article

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fansubs violate copyrights

 

 

 

We have to admit it: the distribution of fansubs is technically a violation of copyright under the WTO TRIPS agreement. However the TRIPS agreement does not demand that distribution of copyrighted material is a criminal offence unless it is done on a commercial scale. This means it is up to the copyright holder to bring the offender to court. The copyright of unlicensed material is held by the original creator. In the case of anime this usually means the Japanese distribution company. If something is licenced, the licensee holds the copyright and thus the right to sue any copyright infringers within the area covered by the license. (source: ato's forum post)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Up until now fansub groups have had little to worry about legal pressure from Japan. However US companies are more likely to sue, therefore it is an additional reason for fansub groups to stop distributing a series once it gets licensed in the US.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some studios even support fansubs because who is going to pay upwards of $300 for a series if they never watched it? I watch the fansubs and if i like it alot, i buy the DVD release of it. Im not gonna wait a year for it to get to the U.S. when im dying to and can get my hands on it much eariler.

Sort of like abandonware. If you stopped selling it 8 years ago, and there's no way for someone to buy it legally and in any way give you any money or benefit, then you have no right to stop people from pirating it. It's not completel legal, but the few gaming companies who cared removed their software from the abandonware sites in a peaceful manner.

remember anime is legal until its licensed out of japan or where ever ;)

Try the good old-fashioned FTP way.

 

 

 

Since you're only trying to transfer your "databases", that might be a better solution.

My friend said Kazaa went to court, and they came out innocent. So using file sharing programs is legal. At least that's what my friend told me. And could you seriously get banned for downloading fansubbed versions of anime? Because I've been doing that for a while. I hope GSD won't get licensed soon. I just have to watch epi 43-50, then i'll have watched all of the SEEd series!!! w00t. God, i just hate the english versions. They talk all slow and stuff, and the way the characters sound when they cry or something are weird. I prefer to watch the japanese versions with the english words on bottom.

Downloading copyrighted material is illegal, regardless of whether it's an American PC Program or a Japanese Cartoon. From a legal point of view there isn't even any such thing as "unlicensed anime". For that reason, I'm locking this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To answer the question however, there is to my knowledge no way to do this. It would take a lot of traffic/CPU to coordinate the transfer since otherwise you'd get massive checksum errors, and as far as I know there is no client which can do this.
