Are you at college? Does your college block torrents?
Well, good news. I just created a website that you can load a torrent on to, it downloads it, and then you can log back on later and download the file over HTTP. Currently this site is invite only, by me. So if you want an account, send me a PM with a username and password that you want. (You can change the password after you log in) The website is www.lostsemicolon.net Give feedback. |

sounds like a good idea, but very dangerious for you. If people down load illegal stuff on your website, the government has a named and address to track down the owner of the server.

I got a slap on the wrist by MPAA when one of my roommates downloaded a movie off the "wrong" torrent site. All through college I had never any problems downloading movies from trusted sources (which i of course deleted afterwords) but that retard did not follow my advice and i got a letter. I did not think anything of it until same day my internet got disconnected and suspended for a week. It took series of phone calls to figure out what the hell happened.
While bit torrent is legal, it is usually used to download illegal stuff which can be traced. If you are in college I would advise you to move out of college dorm and rent out a place of your own. It is cheaper that way. Then you can download anything without restrictions. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

ummm.. why not just download at your place and not at the school.... my school monitors what sites you go to.. so why take the risk.. and im sure theres no restrictions if you live in a dorm.

Hey the OP was just trying to be nice, he's probably set it up as a proxy server, so you don't have problems downloading torrents, he doesn't get in trouble for any illegal content, etc. Just say thanks for the offer!

Yeah, I have a server set up at home that I download stuff on for myself, and I've been doing that. But I wanted to help people who are in the same situation as me. So that's what I did.
If you don't wanna use it, you don't have to, it was just an offer. |
