cybertlc Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be downloading. That's fine though, don't share..........but you'll get nothing in the end.

Interesting... To download it, someone has to upload to you - it's called p2p (Peer to Peer). Give and ye shall receive... You can't just take, take, take - it's unfair.

Lkr Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 ... so there isnt a normal download site? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9896-this-is-why-i-wont-install/#findComment-61905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 ...so there isnt a normal download site? Nope... That would be illegal... (Well, it would be "more" illegal, anyways :censored2:). The brilliance of BitTorrent is the fact that you download off each other - thus there is no need for webspace (except for the .torrent itself lol), which is why it's so popular - however, you don't seem to like the concept.

Sabr Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 well dats BS Now that I find is very ignorant... You expect people to upload to you, but you think you don't have to upload to others? It defeats the object of what BitTorrent was designed for!! easier for apple to find out i have it? Actually, becuase you download from other people PC's, it's harder. And uploading doesn't really make a difference...

The way I see it, there's a bigger chance Apple will "track you down" if you download the file off a Webserver. Which is also another reason why BitTorrent it useful and popular...

Sabr Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 harder to find me o_O. i didnt know that... Well, that's how I figure it... If you're downloading off a webserver, they have connection info the owner's can access. However, downloading off another computer which is uploading to you... I don't see how they could find out. Anyway - back on topic. Make a decision - download it or not. End of...

I'm not sure how big a partion needs to be so that you're able to install 10.4.3. Try it with 3 GB, it'll probably work. Seeming as 10.4.4 only needs 2.4 GB...

SenVa Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It depends on your internet speed... all the uploaders upload speed and the Seeder(uploaders) to Leachers(Downloaders) ratio... Just let it go... P.S. If you have dialup find someone who is not the brightest knife in the cup... and have them download it.
