Ultima Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 First and foremost... you've been scammed. Use the searchbar included in µTorrent, I suppose. Or google with torrent along with whatever your keyword is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastelander Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 uTorrent is totally free. You have been scammed, my friend. By the way, Mininova.org is a very good site to search for stuffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Properly configured, µTorrent is among the FASTEST means of downloading anything through the internet.However you have to find good torrent trackers sharing torrents on your own.µTorrent is more of a 'download accelerator' than a search engine.

sebi Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hello, I'm new here, and I've just downloded uTorrent from mininova. Hope it's a god program to download. it's ok if it's free. I can really use some help. On several torrents, uTorrent just said "torrent error, access denied". what is the problem?Ok, I know that I might have some grammar mistakes ( I'm only 17 ) but I really need some help with this program. Tell me if I have chosen good if I downloaded the Standalone uTorrent. ( by meaning of purchasing it, I mean that I've downloaded it from mininova. BUT IT"S FREE, RIGHT??) what's the difference between standalone and the other?Many thanks, Sebi. Please forgive my spelling and grammar mistakes.

Ultima Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Access Denied: http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#I_get_Error_Access_Denied_and_.C2.B5Torrent_halts_the_torrentDownloading µTorrent from anywhere else besides utorrent.com is a risk in itself... Yes, it's free, and there isn't much of a difference between standalone and installer -- the installer is simply for people who can't live without... an installer ;oI'm not going to grill you over your grammar (it's mostly fine anyhow), but even if there were problems with your grammar, age shouldn't be something you place your blame on. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebi Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks, Ultima. But again I have another question. You said that if I download utorrent from other adresses except utorrent.com is on my risk. Ok, because some sites can make me pay for it, right? But how about this adress. Is this a clone of utorrent.com? this is it : utorrent.org. It's just like mininova .com, which is a fony site. utorrent.org is like that? Hey, when I've downloaded utorrent, I was on mininova.org, and from there I was redirected to you, so... I guess it's no risk at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebi Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 For those who want to know their Internet connection speed (download and upload) this is a great site. speedtest.net Just go there and you'll automatically be coneccted to the closest speedtest server from your area ( ubelieveble, I've got 1.46 Mb/second in download with the server from New York, and with the server in my area I've only got 998kb/second.) It's very interesting. you may also connect to other countries servers, to test your speed with that ones. Personally, I've got best results with the server from New York and Australia. To mention that I'm from Romania, Europe. so... test your speed with many servers across the world before you have a final conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 mininova.com isn't a phony site itself, but if you downloaded it from a .torrent on mininova, it might contain other things. But yeah, if as long as you got it from here. utorrent.org isn't exactly a phony site... it's just some typo-squatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
