oh okay so basically everone can download at the speed of the seeder, but it just won't get faster until there's another one?

Not quite, if somebody has the parts of the file you need you can download from him faster.

Also, the problem is probably not that the seeder has a slow dial-up connection, but that his upload speed has to be distributed to all (or almost) all the leechers.

 

Considering there are 300+ people downloading even a fast connection can be in serious trouble giving decent speed.

that's what Super-seeding is for, it only seeds each piece once, until there's another seed

If this was a chat room it would be insane. Can you imagine all the people that would be on here talking.

 

I love the world of pirated software. I was back on AOL on a 28.8 modem, in the original Warez room.. now that dates me. I was Vertigo.. my name is in the thank yous of the original AoHell. Anyone remember that program? When you could send people like a thousand im's and knock them offline, or you could send fax bombs to people.. just keep faxing them 1000's of times.. and the mass mail lists.. 500 messages filled your box.. and it would take like 2 days to download a single program. Running on a Pentium 60.. so hot that you could fry eggs on the case.

 

I had my 386 with the 420 meg tape drive to back up my bootleged files. because I only had the 420 meg drive..

Remember creating Doom levels, and calling your friends via a modem and playing each other.. long before these mass server combats like on quake 4

From what I am understanding proably half of the leechers are in this forum, so why don't you STOP your download and let at least one other person get the seed!!!

 

'Cause they are hungry for leopard's meat..... beasts, but there is only one leopard at the moment for everone! It won't be enough to feed everybody!

i would like to try and see what kind of speed that I could get. My comcast download speed is uncapped and I wanted to see how long it would take me. Anyone with a invite? I will post it on the bay or demonoid.

 

 

It doesn't matter what your speed is capped at.. its the fact that there is one seed, and 300 downloaders.
