Torrents are all well and good, but grabbing something at 3kb a second for 2 weeks does not really float my boat any more.
Someone in TRL (the real world) told me about a forum called Th3Zone (ThreeZone) where links to “stuff” can be grabbed from sites such as rapidshare.
The benefits of places like Rapidshare is that they are quicker than getting stuff on torrents - normally as fast as your little router will carry it!
The only drawback is that they often impose a download limit or daily quota based on your IP address unless you pay for a premium account. Some people say that they might be able to get round this by using proxies
Th3zone is good because people also post links to other copies of the same content hosted on similar download services - but ones without any limits imposed! Ahh… cool. Sign up is free too, with a valid email address (although I was never asked to validate mine).
I like forums now. I did’nt before. But now I do!
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.

I agree that sometimes(well lots of times actually) bit torrents can be slow, but its the only way to get some stuff (i.e. live recordings of bands,what used to called bootlegs but generally better quality).
I’ve just registered at this th3zone place and it looks interesting.
I’ll have to look closer another day, maybe at work tomorrow if its not one of those restricted sites
Cheers for the info & link taoski
I believe that Rapidshare premium accounts can be given away by people who are already members and have accumulated some sort of points thing..
Anyone care to offer one up?
