Stumbled upload a must see list of free and legal bit torrent tracker list.

Finding a decent selection of BitTorrent downloads that are both free and legal can be a challenging proposition for many including myself. Sure it’s easy to point to BitTorrent tracker sites like Mininova or The Pirate Bay as places to find just about anything under the sun, but it’s usually copyrighted material and so downloaders face tests of both conscience as well as their ability to evade the prying eyes of copyright holders, law enforcement, ISPs, and perhaps even meddling parents. So thus arises the need for places where free AND legal BitTorrent downloads can be found. The following is a list of 7 worth mentioning and a description of what types of BitTorrent downloads each has to offer.

A year back I blogged about ways you can avoid fake files on p2p networks the post was focused more on Ares though some of the concepts and methods generally apply to virtually any p2p network, but in order to dodge the fake files you have to perform a bit of detective work using checks and verifications this can be quite time consuming and overall a tedious process. Now you don’t necessarily have to do that if you’re a bittorrent user you can check out SeedPeer a torrent tracker that lists torrents that have been verified by moderators and have been given green check mark. Having seedpeer at your disposal will definitely save you time on hours waiting for a download to only realize its trash.

Leave you comments on what you think of seedpeer.

Am amazed at how easy it has become to share content online whether it be legally or illegally via torrents or p2p applications. The amount of tools available online to perform file sharing transactions are literally in abundance. Frequently every so often I come across some sort of new way or regurgitated service of sharing content online, but what I haven’t seen so far is a way of downloading torrents without having to install a bittorrent client. I stumbled across Bitlet a fairy new elementary bittorrent down service, by elementary I mean it’s that simple to use for the average non tech savvy Joe. BitLet was design not for the geeky techie person or the person who likes to configure things and tweak settings and customize and streamline things, but for that person who just wants to get torrents downloaded quickly now with very minimal hassles and headaches. Not every one has the know how’s and knowledge of using bittorrent clients to download content. Not everyone wants to have to learn how to use some of these file sharing tools.

Bitlet lets everyone and anyone download torrents quickly and easily, by simply inserting a URL of the desire content (.torrent link) with no local software whatsoever.

For those of you at work or school/college who might like to take advantage of your high speed broad band connections or are restricted to use 3^rd party utilities which are not work related then bitLet will quite handy as it lets you by pass the rules. 

I take back my above statement about not having to install 3rd party software there is one thing you will need to get Bitlet to run. Since BitLet runs via a java applet you will need to install the latest Java Virtual Machine plugin from sun microsystems.

Sending files as attachments via free web based email applications such as Google mail , Lycos mail etc can become quite problem when having to attaché files over 100MB, or when having to send large home video files to your relatives or friends. In my quest to find the ultimate web services or tool I came across over a dozen free web services to that allow you to email large files such as mailbigfile, yousendit etc, but one thing I noticed out of all the services is the file sizes are quite limited. Usually a max of 100mb can be uploaded at one time, no simultaneous uploads and sending of files are allowed that means if you had a 700mb video file you would need to break it up into 7 individual files in order to send it. On the receiving end the receipt would need to rejoin the file in order to get the original back this is just a waste of time and a hassle. Here are what I think are the best services that allow you to send over 1GB files via email.

Podmailing is a standalone free p2p email/bittorrent client that lets you send large files to your friends via e-mail, the application is currently in beta so we will have to see if it becomes payware in the future. Emailing and file delivery is handled by the application its self. When your email is sent to the receipt he or her is notified that you want to share with them a file they then have to install podmailing client on their pc in order to receive the file.

Podmailing interface is quite intuitive and easy to get the hang of, literally within a few minute you will be up and running. Podmailing makes creating and sending torrents a lot more straight forward than bittorrent clients typically do you will be able to convert your files or folders into torrents and the mailing process will begin instantly. You can pause huge uploads, and the recipient can always downloads as much as you have already sent. If you mail multiple people, downloads can become even faster and more reliable. The only barriers I have seen thus far is the fact that the client needs to be installed on both ends to work.

Driveway is another free emailing service of large files, but there are a couple of features that set it apart from the rest.

Multiple uploading for files

You have the ability to attach multiple file each with max file size limit of 500MB.

A standalone desktop application which you can upload files right from your computer by simply right-clicking and selecting upload. If you upload a folder it automatically compresses and creates a zip file prior to uploading and then uploads the file. All this can be done without invoking the main site. This feature can be quite handy if you share files on a regular basis.

Driveway provides a widget to view or share your files. You can insert the widget on any blog or site you want and share the files that you have uploaded.

Filemail

Filemail is a relatively new and simple send large files via email service currently in beta. What I really like about this service is no registration. In order to start using this service all you will need is your current email address, receipts email address and the files you want to send to the receipt.

How to works

Files you want to send are uploaded and encrypted to one of several filemail.com servers.
A small e-mail is delivered to the receivers from filemail.com, notifying them that you have sent them some files along with the message you specified.

If the recipients click the hyperlink included in the e-mail they are then taken to the download page where they can downloads the files. The files are decrypted again as the recipients download them. After the specified number of days/number of downloads, the files are removed completely from filemail servers. The numbers of days according to the site for the free plan are 7 days and premium plan 14 days.

Broken links or deleted links from rapidshare or other file hosting sericies is a pretty much common think online and can be frustrating at times for many of you who use such file hosting services to distribute your files to friends or just share to the general public. Sometimes displaying rapidshare, megaupload yousendit etc links can be somewhat risky, as anyone can report them for removal if they so desire.
The best solution to prevent this, but not full proof is hiding or masking your links to something completely different from the original link, this solution could potentially save you the hassle and time of having to re-upload deleted links to your content. A simple example of masking your link would be for example your original link is www.rapidshare.com/linuxdistro.rar to www.newlink.com/3dkkLLDKd.rar
Masking your links can be done easily with a number of free online services which I have outlined below.
All the services outlined below consist of simple 2 step process just create a short URL that can be effectively used instead of an existing, long URL and generate.

• hidurl
• rapidsafe
• rsprotect
• link-protector

hidelinks is a little bit different from the rest, it consists of password protection system, access is to link is restricted to holder of correct authentication details. If you create a HideLinks account, you can change the link or password any time by logging in.

dwarfURL is similar to hidelinks pros your newly created link will never expire.You can even enter in a password and see the statistics for your (how many clicks and where from) dwarfurl.

update 02 December 2007

Another url encryption service is Rapidbolt. The service only works for registered premium users unregistered users won’t be able to access any of the downloads.

update 06 February 2008

notlong.com is another free shorten my url service, theres no need for registration and no premium fees.

Getting your favored Creative Commons-licensed movies via BitTorrent is much more fun if you use your company’s T1 line instead of your slow-poke and soon possibly even metered home DSL account. The only problem: That IT guy you hired to set up your office PCs apparently doesn’t like you to have fun at work. He made it impossible to install anything at all on that powerful, shiny new PC of yours that now just sits idle while you stare at your Excel spreadsheets. Maybe you should have been clearer about the fact that you are actually the boss of your little startup, funny haircut and all. No worries, help is on the way.

Qtrax Really Blows Its Launch

Naturally people like free stuff that includes free music, literally thousands have been sued but that did not stop people from using p2p. It will go on and its here to stay. The record labels have finally figured that part out thus the creation of Qtrax the worlds first 100% free and legal p2p file sharing music application. It works directly with the record labels and publishers in order to license content and distribute online.

You might be wondering how in the world will they make money if they are giving away loads of music for free, the answer to that is ad support. Whether or not advertising will be enough to offset the royalty is as yet to be determined we will have to see.
There’s no cost to downloading and using the software and there is no hidden charges or membership fees or per song cost, the question I ask now is for how long will this last for? Well after trying to access the website today seems it doesn’t seem to be working anymore.

The service is currently in beta but looks very promising a full review will be posted soon with more detailed facts. If anyone has tried Qtrax out post you thoughts and opinions about it.
