Hi All you ADSL Gurus,

I was just wondering how you share all that Data you download.....OFFLINE.

The more you give, the more you get.

There is tons of advise on how to get data online,but none for offline, and I think there is ton of wastage and frustration, especially when you reach your Cap, or are reduced to like 5kps, on a 40GB torrent.

With all this uncapped special offers floating around, one would expect a flurry of Data floating around.
Like when the IT dude suddenly gives you an entire season of XYZ season 2, when we here in SA are lleft hanging waiting for months, at seasons 1 cliffhanger.
But this is not the case! Its now more difficult to get data offline. So what has changed from before?

Don't get me wrong, I am not a leach. I will usually hand over what I get, gig for gig.


I have heard of lan parties for Data, but at these, is there a safe and easy way to swop large quantities of data?
I have used online adds to find some people, but there are rumours of cops busting some dudes.:mad:


So, my question is, how do all of you multi terabyte dudes manage to get such a large collection, surely you dont download everything you have?

KAIZA.
 
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...

Damn kids. They're all alike.

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?

I am a hacker, enter my world...

Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

Damn underachiever. They're all alike.

I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."

Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me...
Or feels threatened by me...
Or thinks I'm a smart ass...
Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...

Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..."

I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.
We explore... and you call us criminals.
We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals.
We exist without skin color, without nationality, without
religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
 
I use a hex editor and print it out. Then my buddy has a hex editor and types in the stuff, saves it and its 100%...
 
Morse code....via smoke signals. My homie in the adjacent street just got a set of binoculars so teh data is flying.
 
Sigh.

Go to a lan. OC, liberty, mayhem.

Seriously don't advertise that you have tons and tons of stuff lying around that you want to trade... It alerts cops everywhere. EDIT: And noobs

Off-topic: Silly spam filter keeps blocking my messages and sending them back to me, wow I hate custom spam filters when trying to contact a client and their filter kicks my message out.
 
i just have 4 meg uncapped ! to download a season in HD takes a night at best :P

What does being a hacker have to do with sharing series with your buddies?

I'll be the suit and say this. I do have some data that does not belong to me. It is getting less and less and the data that I collect I actually legally own.

Trading data is as bad as trading a game you stole from the store with another one that someone else stole from another store. It's not called "sharing is caring" it's called (forgive my afrikaans) "Die deler is so goed soos die steler"

I'd be really pissed-off if a 3D model I created or work that is my creative work suddenly appears somewhere it's not supposed to be. The same goes for the argument why DRM should not be there and why Nokia should not be selling music. The artists are still getting their royalties through the proper channels. Just because you think the artists are not getting their proper dues does not mean you should rather copy their music than buying it.

Generally, when one writes in Italics, it is a quote... Just saying.

@Helghast: Thinking of buying a WUG kit myself actually, except I'm in Sea Point, on the other side of signal hill so there are very few users I can point my kit at so maybe not even worth it.
