- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -1/+100No way man. Just get like 3 or 4 discographies and some movies downloading, and leave your computer open and hit a kegger while that downloads.
If you're worried about someone stealing your computer, I recommend finding an oven to put it in... - opes, on 10/10/2007, -3/+65If you dont know how to do this, you have been living under a rock for the past 8 years.
- fpcyber, on 10/10/2007, -4/+61To sum it up, DC++ with a dozen people working the torrents.
- chandler, on 10/10/2007, -4/+45This doesn't tell you how to get around your school's firewall that they put into place to stop this. Misleading title. Oh by the way,
#!/usr/sbin/perl
$ips = `nmap -v -sP -n 10.0.0.0/8 | grep up | awk '{print $2}'`;
@ips = split(/n/,$ips);
foreach $ip (@ips){
$ssh = `nmap --host_timeout 45s $ip | grep ssh | awk '{print $2}'`;
if($ssh eq "open"){
print "This $ip is running SSHn";
$sys = `ssh-keyscan -t rsa $ip`;
}
}
That will give you servers on your network that are running SSH and their versions. Then look up vulns and tunnel your connection through them. Hope this helps... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+35You should totally put your education at risk to download some video game soundtracks
- OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -10/+41There are far better and more rewarding antisocial activities to be involved in than sitting around in your dorm downloading music. Get off your ass!
- joeshlub, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Precicely. This setup is the only way to do it assuming your on your colleges local network. A few people is all it takes to supply all the media people want, and a well run DC hub allows for people to make requests of those bringing ***** in from the outside.
Makes a hell of a lot more sense for one guy to spend 2 hours downloading something and to then let everyone else download it from him in 10 seconds than it does to have people downloading redundant copies off bittorrent. - h4rdcor3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21the college student should get a ruckus account, then use fairuse4wm to strip the drm off of it and then convert to their favorite format.
- geekee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19You mean the ones with the iPods and the iPhones?
- YoungDeezy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19I had to bury you. You broke the first and second rules of newsgroups.
- Terr01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14You mean the people who aren't necessarily college students, but play ones on TV?
- mancat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14You have received a message from SAMIR_JOSHI7716:
dear frend do u hav ne1 AMERICAN PIE 2 ?????? - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15of course, it's your right as an american to use your university's bandwidth to do something that is against the law.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Your girlfriend is an idiot then. Password protect the hub, only allow on campus ip's, only allow people with greater than 5gb (or 20gb) shares on the hub, and only allow people to get on if they get an account from the admin, that way it's only word of mouth. My anonymous college had 140+ users on at any time a year after the RIAA shut down the open hub. Your school won't care, as long as they don't find out about it.
- Drazzard, on 10/10/2007, -6/+19Does anyone else think it seems like the gnutella networks have started to go downhill?
- SurlyDuff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Are you sure this was on the campus network and not on a public tracker?
- Heterman, on 10/20/2007, -1/+11Man, I remember when. I had never had anything other than dialup at around 5kb tops. At the time, the network admins had not blocked the P2P protocols and networks, and it was on. As I lived off campus, I had to go use a computer physically at the university. I even got to download the client to the machine! Uh, oh. Man, what a treat that was. I expected it to be harder to bypass the restrictions, but there seemed to be none. Oh I remember filling up my 100MB ZIP drive (yea, a ZIP drive), and later the 250MB model, every day I could. I hid the client in an obscure place that only I knew where the .exe was. I always went back to the same computer if I could. Going from 5kbps to ~80kb average. What days...
Now though, high-speed is everywhere. It was so interesting to me because I had never seen downloads of those speeds. It was unbelievable. I never did get to experience something like a torrent from within a LAN though, such as in the residence halls. I imagine my peers over there were just as happy as I was. - Rcdriver, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Didn't you just break that rule?
- scrubadub, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I only use the offline bittorrent clients
- noclue, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9seriously, you do not deserve to use USENET if you cannot obey the rules.
- h4rdcor3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10i'm a college student
- Andytom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8ourTunes not sure if it works on the new iTunes but I used it to grab 20+ gigs of music when I was in halls.
http://ourtunes.sourceforge.net/ - Jackrammer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8activeperl and nmap can be downloaded for windows
- Phyltre, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7The best networks/clients to run at a university aren't on this list, (assuming that your university, like mine, blocked all torrent traffic) and I'm sure as heck not going to direct the lot of you towards them. Any college student seriously needing this information might want to do a little soul searching.
- lateralus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Time to get a new GF.
- enginbeering, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7And you're probably not browsing digg...
- jackcall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+71st RULE: You do not talk about USENET.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about USENET.
3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or has a 56k modem and uses their ISPs server, the 50Mb/s posting has just begun.
4th RULE: Only ten connections to a download.
5th RULE: One article purge at a time.
6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes, no shaves, no pants, no lives.
7th RULE: Posts will go on as long as they have to.
8th RULE: If this is your first night on USENET, you HAVE to upload. - JAWS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Emule is still the best way to get obscure stuff or mainstream that is older than about 6 mo.
- wicked9, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8they have internets on computers now?
- balloonenstein, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6This is stupid. At the U of M, you can never get more than 5kbs on torrent and if you use any other P2P application, they network police will catch and ban you. Thankfully, most colleges have some sort of hub now....
- chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6you don't have to sit around and wait. Just make a list and start it running.
- mbthompson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7For heaven's sakes, just give the URL.
http://www.slsknet.org/ - fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8And then when the MPAA / RIAA goes to sue you, rant about how unjust it is!
- SurlyDuff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+580GB in 4 years? I could usually do that in a day on the DC hub in uploads alone.
- ghost116, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6buried as old. it still lists napster as a P2P application
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7No sharing so no legal issues? I think you misunderstand copyrights in general and copyright infringement specifically.
- xile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Try RC4 encryption in your torrent client. It's damn hard to block--too hard for my university.
- gtpilot07, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5This guide leaves out the single greatest source: windows shares. I know shares arent as common anymore, but I know the first week of my freshman year my harddrive space went from 120GB free to "crap, what can I delete" from shares alone.
"hmmm... i wonder whats in this folder called movies, or what about this folder: pr0n..." Download individual files... heck no, give me the whole freakin directory tree - jeffeb3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6why do you think they are broke?
seriously though, I lived in a house with 6 people in it and shared the rent (my share was $240). Eating ramen noodles, and fish sticks for dinner 6 nights a week to be able to work through engineering school. Not all college kids can afford iPhones. iPods are only a one time purchase though, christmas might provide for something like that... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5sharing files doesn't cost them anything, it just doesn't make them as much money as they think they should get.
- sputty01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5wow you carry on like this and usenet won't exist this time next year, read the usenet commandments monkeyboy!
- CatalystGhost, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Charging for the ability to use software that allows you to download things that would normally be paid for... someone, please, explain to me how this makes sense.
- LycoLoco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Considering that my school will throw you in the penalty box and remove internet access for 2 weeks if you run an nmap on the school network, I'm certain that other schools will do the same thing, or worse.
- Travelsonic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Wanting is not qualification for getting it.
- bobmagoo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4yeah, i followed this tutorial, http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/1
It's pretty awesome and works great. I'm running my torrent box on an old gateway p3 and the server load never goes above 1 percent.
Do some research into securing apache before you open it up to the world wide web. One thing I would recommend is installing ssl when you install apache for secure logons to the torrentflux web interface.
The torrentflux torrent search feature is nice, but i have found it to be buggy, so i just download the whatever torrent file i want to my desktop and upload it to the server through the torrentflux interface.
Tell it to automatically update itself by going to applications/system/software sources/updates and select daily and install security updates w/o confirmation
I'm planning on using the web interface to grab my files off the server, but there are a couple of options you can choose that use an
ssh connection and a command called scp. There's also an ftp server included in that tutorial, so there's another option.
thats about all the advice i can think of, it works pretty slick, i have the server tucked away out of sight and have never had an problems remotely connecting into it. You may want to consider editing your hosts file(if you use windows) or DNS server to redirect a word like "server" to 192.168.xxx.xxx so you don't have to type out the whole IP of your server to get at the web interface. I use opendns.com so i use what they call a shortcut to redirect the word server to the internal ip of my server.
Good luck, have fun, happy pirating - raintheory, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4thumbs up on the soul searching.
think synonyms .. ;o) - conwayblue, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Dug Down. Shhhhh
- malkir, on 10/28/2007, -0/+4lol i feel sorry for your CS majors
- SurlyDuff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31mb/s? Whoa, that's pretty weak. Our school has sustained speeds of about 10-12:P
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I am pretty sure that's what DC++ is like. In our university we used p2p Ares which lets you create "chat rooms" but you could share files and search shared files. The university room was packed.
