TNOArchon Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 G-Day everyone. I followed the guides on this forum to get my Hackintosh to work, and i love it! I want to give more people the oportunity to get this done as well, so i decided to give 300GB of my server to this proyect. The server is in United States, and it has a lot of free bandwith to use for this. The avarage download speed of the server is 72 Kbps. Thats good to download an ISO. I would post the links now, but... The server is used for bussines stuff. and i dont want to risk my identity getting ilegal stuff in it. However. I found out that there are several ways to hide the IPs of a server by some wotk on the server. I really want to get this done, so if you know how to do that, and you are able to help in it, you will be more than welcome to the "Get a Hackintosh Today" Team. Any lawyers that could make up a EULA for the use on the server would be also apreciated. Have fun!

adrock42 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 back in the day i used to play these crazy Easter egg games to find secret passwords and port numbers for ftp sites so I could download music. I miss napster. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112056-new-fast-download-server-for-pre-patched-isos/#findComment-794919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifki Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 if its direct download you aint going to be able to provide ip-less downloads Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112056-new-fast-download-server-for-pre-patched-isos/#findComment-795009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehnick Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sorry, but 72 Kbps is NOT good enough for downloading ~3.5GB ISOs. Why even bother with direct download when torrenting allows you to download at the maximum speed your connection allows assuming there is enough seeds? And most of the time there is more then enough to get a solid 300KB/s+ at the LEAST. Not to mention the more people who use this, the slower the downloads will be, as opposed to faster if using bittorrent. Sooner or later (I bet sooner), whoever is providing or hosting this server is going to notice the huge amounts of bandwidth being pushed from these ISOs - and trust me you will find yourself in trouble. Not nessicarily for it being illegal, but for all the excess bandwidth being used that I'm sure would break some regulations. It's not worth it. It would still be slower and less efficient then bittorrent anyway.
