Scoobie snacks taste like schnozberries




So I wanted to talk about torrenting and the best way to secure your connections. After having experience in the torrent world and understanding the more complex fundamentals of this service, I wanted to let you know how I do mine. And hopefully you will follow in my steps. First you have to understand the basics of torrents. Think of it this way: Take a apple, cut that apple into 10 different parts. Now give those apple slices to 10 different people. So after a while you want this apple back. You will have to retrieve all of those slices to make the apple whole again. This is the same concept; You are getting bits of information from different locations to complete your file. You can learn more here.
That is the basic idea. So next question. Whats the best most secure way of getting torrents on the internet. Well, one you have to download bittorrent. This is a free and very light program. Thats step number 1. Now here is the hard part. People typically use public torrent sites. These sites include: piratebay, mininova, isohunt, etc.... Basically sites that dont require you to log in. These are bad, this is basically jumping into a public pool that no one likes to clean up. The reason why people get caught downloading files is that the recording industries hire companies to put out fake torrent and following those leechers to there public IP addresses and using very simple basic internet tools can find out your ISP, address, sometimes phone numbers. This is the worst way you can download a torrent. The best thing to do is find a private site.
Private sites require you to do certain things in order to obtain access to there site. This includes like previous share ratios and/or experience in certain codecs and setups or configuration, and some experience. And your wondering "how do i get to a site like this without no previous information to prove, this is my first site." Well, buddy your in luck. See torrent sites will have public opening to sign up. Basically this mean they are trying to get more users to join to expand there universe of file sharing. Usually the number one rule on private sites is that you have to upload (the seeder) and have people download from you (leecher) This is what builds your ratio up and keeps you on the site and some sites will upgrade your profile to get you more access to certain parts of the sites. This site is one of the best to find open sign-ups. Click here.
Always remember to read the rules on each site.
This is pretty much the very basics of getting onto private sites. Now as securing your connection, the best thing that I use is VPN's. VPN is called virtual private network, basically this connects from your current home/office connection/network to a secured internet connection at another site. VPN's have very high encryption and makes it very difficult for anyone to track or find out any information about you. This is best for torrent sites and downloading since you never really know where your information is coming from. There are many sites out there but here is a couple I tried and currently using http://btguard.com/  This is very good service for basic anonymous torrenting. Very easy to use and setup.

Now done with that. I heard this amazing band. "El Ten Eleven" is a post-rock, ambient, indie band from LA. The band has great beats and tone. Including of experimenting in different sounds and melodies.
The latest album "Every Direction is North" is there best album I think.
Pick it up, download it, buy it. Its worth it. They are coming to Tuscon so if anyone is interested into wanting to go let me know. But worth checking out.
