I've looked all over the internet for a good downloading site and could find nothing. Two I did stumble across; the first is Fileshack.com, it was really fast (250 Kb/s) and realiable yet it seems to crash on me, the second is Filefront, this site is horribly slow but can supply about every download you can ponder up.
Can anybody point me into the right direction for a fast realiable file site.
I Googled* it but there was nothing but sites that were saturated in horible lay-out or made me pay (I have no money :( ) so ultimetly I didn't trust them. And here I am asking you guys.
BitTorrent is not like P2P networks such as eD2K or FastTrack, you cannot make a search for files using a BitTorrent client. Instead you go to websites that list Torrent files. These torrent files, have information on the files you want to download and also information on the tracker you must connect to to begin downloading and sharing those files. The tracker is like the central server, that keeps information on each user currently currently sharing the files, and what part of the files they have. Once you download a Torrent files, your BitTorrent client (eg. Bit Torrent, Bit Tornado, Azureus etc.) should launch immediately and connect to the tracker. The tracker then connects you to Seeds and Peers who are sharing the file and your download should start. Once you have at least one bit of the file, you will start uploading that bit to other users who don't yet have it. So there we see how BitTorrent is different from other P2P networks, all it needs is the torrent file for the files (or folders) that you wish to download and share and then it does the sharing work for you.
