I dl everything.. the worthy part was watching Borat get clobbered and sliced. I hate most musicals, exception would be Across the Universe. Cant go wrong with 33 Beatles songs.

Seriously; I'm on comcast and have been using utorrent and peerguardian for a while now and never one problem... they use port filtering which is easily bypassed by changing incoming traffic to port 80.

PG2 is good stuff, but if you want completely secure downloading and much faster speeds, look into usenet. I pay $10 a month for it, but I can get anything I want, I don't need to upload, and I download at a constant 700kbs (That's a full length movie in 15 minutes.)

usenet, is that newsgroups or what?? i onced signed up for one of those, and every single movie has like 50 rar files. no thanks, have they changed that yet? can u download a movie in one file yet?

I think you're missing the point of multi-part RAR files...

They aren't in one big file because of the file extension. A .rar could contain anything as it's simply an archival format. An .avi or .mov can only be one thing, a movie file. People will likely look at the extensions of the file being downloaded to determine whether or not it should be blocked or mentioned to the user, as in the case of the original poster.

Besides, programs like UnRarX for OSX can reconstitute the original file out of multi-part RAR files with very little effort. Personally, I can't wait to sign up for Usenet and forget about torrents for forever...

newsgroups just take more a lot more effort. 20% of the time, .rars would be missing. then you have to request them, and wait, etc. it's been several years since i newsgrouped but back then all the downloaders sucked too.

hopefully theres one now where you just command 1 line like into.the.wild.rar[1-100] and be done with it.
