Follows these should sort it out ...

Windows
Since Windows does not come with a SSH client, you will need to download and install PuTTY. The first time creating a tunnel you will need to create a Saved Session, which you will be able to reuse later:
Install and open PuTTY
Under Host Name (or IP address) enter username@host
Under Saved Sessions enter Proxy
In the category menu on the left, expand Connection' Then expand SSH and select Tunnels.
Next to Source port enter 8080
Select Dynamic. Click Add
In the category menu on the left, select Session to go back to the first screen.
Click Save to save all these settings for future use.
To start the tunnel:
Open PuTTY
Under Saved Sessions select Proxy and click Open
When prompted for a password, enter your slot password

Using As Browser Proxy

Firefox
Create and start your SSH tunnel
Open Preferences, found either in the Edit or Tools menu
Select the Advanced section and click the Network tab
Under Connection click the Settings button.
Select Manual proxy configuration
Next to SOCKS Host enter localhost and 8080 as the port.
Select SOCKS v5
click OK, then Close

Thanks wug,
I've done that exactly and FF just reports that the proxy I'm using is refusing connections.

[wugambino]

you're leaving putty open

[Sirens Song]

yeah? I'm not supposed to?
I leave the black window open that says "press enter to terminate the connection"

[Sirens Song]

After giving it another go this morning I got it to work with FF.
Still can't get any connections in uTorrent though.
Can you help with those settings?
I've pretty much just done the same as in FF but no go.

How good is a crazy combo of Ancient Aliens & Through the Wormhole for a hazy lazy weekend.

[crocos]

IMO? Maybe it might be watchable if you're stoned off your tits. Otherwise pretty shit TBH.

[Rince]

couple of mates use filesonic, so thought I'd sign up for 30 days (11 NZD, meh).... so far so good.

couple of randoms have been removed, but nothing I want right now has been an issue.
Just want to get a decent download manager for those multi-part files.... any suggestions (ability to integrate with Chrome would be a plus)

Croc said that filesonic was shit...
Or was it fileshare. or filesomethingelse.
I use jdownloader for my multipart downloads, its actually a fucken good app I find. also does youtube too.

[Rince]

"Lots of poor performance complaints - which I can corroborate.

Shit customer service

Random and inconsistent in what they take down (eg they'll take down the third file in a set of RARs or similar) "

oh well - it's only 11 bucks....

[Chrono]

bobrelease + fileserve + IDM = win

[Rince]

went to bobreleases, saw an ad for "Alphas", had a quick read on wikipedia, seems ok, did a search of filesonic using filestube, found a FS user hosting all 6 episodes, put them into jdownloader, coming down at 1.8MB/s

seems ok to me

[Sirens Song]

The thing I found difficult with those hosting sites is that it's sometimes really hard to find old stuff.
Like I just recently got into Dexter so started downloading that from ep 1. Torrents = easy and fast as hell. I couldn't find any of those filseshare sites with the older stuff.

Anyway, got my ssh tunnel working with utorrent finally. Loving the freedom of torrenting.

LOVING this season of True Blood.. Love seeing so much Eric, which is obviously awesome.. so awesome.. awesomeawsomeawesomeawesome...

I haven't cared too much for the baby/french woman storyline so am fucken glad that's over with now

[blur^]

chick mate of mine pretty much forced me to read the books
so not liking true blood as much this season

too many random arcs that suck, tommy, tara etc
and killing off important characters like the queen far to early missed out on a great story arc


at least anna is a hottie, god damn her body owns me

[crocos]

For downloading from most D/L providers: Check out "The Cavern Links Checker" on userscripts.org. It's a Greasemonkey script, but I think it runs on Chrome also.

Great for seeing what's sweet vs what's looking munted.

[cryocore]

Death Valley starts on Tuesday. I'll be checking it out fosho
Horror/Comedy Meets Cops with some sexy wimens in it too

New Who today. Yay!

[Ajax]

So, uh, in the latest ep of Breaking Bad, Jesse appears to be playing a bizarro shooter-on-rails version of Rage? Weird.

That's the JVille community centre!!!
?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

Not quite, first floor of the Medical centre...down the hallway then turn left. I was there last week delivering something. If I'd read these posts I would have asked him a few questions as I still don't know what to do

Cannot recommend a seedbox enough, been fraptastic and I don't have to waste a single Kb of my datacap on seeding

Why I built my own 6 years ago :P

Who are you with?

[wugambino]

whatbox.ca

I have had a US based server for years but not one who's bandwidth I could rape and pillage with torrent traffic.

[Deadmeat]

Usenet has all but won me over, it's hard to argue with constant full rate speeds.
http://www.news.astraweb.com/plans.html signed up for the 180gb package to trial usenet
http://sabnzbd.org/ Works well through browser as a frontend (like a router), anyone using a different app?
http://www.newzbin.com/ Any other good sites for searching nzbs?

I do miss the comments from piratebay though.

[drac0s]

nzbmatrix.com (think have to pay a one of donation to get access)
nzbs.org (free account, no verfication etc...)

I think astraweb has some problems with missing articles etc... at least whenever i read comments about missing pieces of files it's usually astraweb. If search around for discount codes as well, usually a few which give cheaper prices on all the news groups.

I highly and heartily recommend setting up an nzb server thingy. I use sabnzbd+ which happened to come as part of my qnap NAS.

Awesome combo. the NAS has the mega storage and when I click an nzb link it just offloads over there and sends me an email when it is done. Does all the unzip / par etc stuff and dumps it in a directory my /ps3mediaserver has mapped (I will eventually get around to mounting it as an iSCSI point).

Even the girlfriend can use it without hassle.

My main motivation for going with them was to dip my toe with a prepay package to get the hang of usenet without having to sign up for a 12month plan. That said i've had no trouble with missing articles yet, even while downloading stuff listed on newzbin as >450 days.

[Mojo]

This shit is not cool, the mo-budget doesn't extend to a VPN or seedbox or any of that jazz. Guess I'm going down in a blaze of glory.

[Pepsi]

Lost Girl Season 2 is now out... I enjoyed the first series, and will stick with it, but hopefully things pick up a little this season.

After reading these posts I signed up for a 14 day free trial at giganews and downloaded SABNZBD+ to have a play.
Went to NZB TV seeker and indexed all of dexter season 4 to an NZB file and started cranking it at full speed. Not bad!
Do you have to go through proxy SSH tunnels or SSL crap to be safe or are you OK just cranking it like I did for this test?

I've been using a SSH tunnel for my torrenting but damn its slow and disconnecty. Thise usenet thingo might be a go if you don't have to run through those tunnel/seedboxy servery things.

I'm new to this .. me and EZTV/IPT were good friends before.
Thanks.

[crocos]

All quality Usenet providers (including Giganews) provide SSL encryption, but that doesn't shield the file-request you make - if someone managed to listen to your comms they'd be able to see the file-request.

However the chances of that are far more remote than anything that involves active sharing (eg: Torrents, DC++, etc)

[crocos]

Bah, edit time.

Also for your torrent tunnelling: Not all providers are created equal.
Some factors include:
* The encryption overhead (which can vary greatly by the hardware used to drive the encryption on the tunnel)
* Their network limitations (bandwidth and speed)
* The number of service subscribers
* The network between you and them
* The network between them and the Torrent (or other service) participants.

[Sirens Song]

I'm keen for a good provider then.

Otherwise, cheers for the info.
On the privacy/security, doesn't that kind of make usenet just like wuploads etc?

I've been trying to set up for a few days until and failing until someone today pointed out I need to subscribe to a usenet server as well as an indexer...he is using Astraweb as the server and has had no issues. ..uses sabnzbd+ and no need for SSL or putty so he says.

I have joined nzb.su as the indexer and will most likely use Astraweb as a server at the 5MBit/s unlimited option @ $10.00 a month...he showed me how he is using SAB and seemed pretty straight forward.

Pretty similar, except as Usenet is subscription-based for it's content, it makes it REALLY hard to track down who uploaded a given file - it may not have even been that Usenet provider, as they syndicate the content.
