AllPeers?

[ddrueding]

Anyone try this? I just got invited to the Beta, and I don't even really know what it is. Looks like a funky application of bittorrent, but only to your friends?

If anyone wants an invitation, I can get you one. Just PM me.

David:
Keep me posted, or, send me an invite.

Thanks

Allpeers seems like a good and happy thing, from what I've read. I'll take an invite if you've still got 'em.

 

[ddrueding]

I just went to install on my new system (old one fried) and it seems to have borked my FF install. I must admit I was doing some sketchy OC'ing at the time, but now I have no extensions and it killed my profile. Recognising I was likely the cause with my OC+undervolt combo, I tried to re-install the extensions and re-create the profile....but it won't go.

I'll be installing FF again and re-doing everything, you will recieve an invite as soon as I can get in.

 

[ddrueding]

I'm back, and it's installed without any issues. I need e-mail addresses to get you guys invited.

Anyone looking to share...PM me your email address

 

[Mercutio]

I am "mercutio" on AllPeers.
I'll be keeping some >100MB porn clips, some classical music and some comic book scans on my share list for the forseeable future.

 

[Gilbo]

That 300 file limit is a bit annoying...

 

[Mercutio]

As someone who leaves firefox open pretty much constantly between version upgrades without any difficulties, Allpeers has had a decidedly negative effect on my browser's stability. I still have it installed on one PC, but between the UI and the occasional crash, I don't think it's something I'd bother to reinstall.

 

[ddrueding]

I agree. It is klunky, slow, has a poor AI, and doesn't work that well. Setting up something similar yet different would be nice.

 

[Handruin]

I have uninstalled it too. I didn't like the file limitation and the UI was a bit clunky/slow.

 

[Gilbo]

I actually ended up installing it no less than 10 minutes after that post. It messed up a bunch of Javascript/sound/flash functionality. Yech .

 

[Mercutio]

Maybe I could set up a private torrent tracker?

 

[ddrueding]

That sounds relatively secure?

 

[sechs]

Are these questions or statements?

(Mine's a question.)

 

[ddrueding]

As is mine?

(This is a statement.)

 

[Mercutio]

It is if we don't tell anyone about it.

 

[Mercutio]

More realistically, I could probably stick it behind .htaccess and hand out logins as needed. That's a decent start IMO.

 

[Handruin]

I've never hosted my own torrent, would it be done in the same tracker location as yours or would I need to host my own? I'd be interested to learn more.

 

[Mercutio]

You would use my tracker to host the .torrent file you create. The upstream bandwidth would be your own to give up.

I'll have to look into actually doing this.

 

[Handruin]

I wonder if there are any web tools like iso hunt available online that coiuld be installed to make this easier? I'll take a look when I get home tonight.

 

[Mercutio]

IsoHunt is just a site that indexes multiple torrent trackers.
I spend quite a bit of time on Demonoid.com, which is members-only and used to be invite only. That's the kind of model I'm thinking of.

 

[sechs]

So Merc's tracker would be porn and...?

 

[ddrueding]

...porn.

 

[Will Rickards]

classical music?

 

[ddrueding]

comics?

 

[ddrueding]

I can contribute some other things..."home movies" perhaps? Though they would really fit in with Merc's stuff...

 

[Handruin]

How about a tool like phpBTTrackerMod or TorrentParse?

 

[Mercutio]

Porn, porn, classical (porn) music, porn, comics, and porn. Yes. Those things.

I'm looking for some kind of non-sucky-to-install Tracker software. I see a lot of things that look annoying to install and a lot of things that are easy but also buggy and broken.
