Ganked from sinnie, who ganked it from elsewhere. I'm making no comment on the content of the film, nor do I want to get into a discussion. I just like downloading free stuff. :)

Michael Moore has welcomed the appearance on the internet of pirated copies of his anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 and claimed he is happy for anybody to download it free of charge.

Moore: pirate my film, no problem
Michael Moore says go ahead and pirate his movie:

Here is a link to the client you need to install to download it:

http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html (Actually, I use BitTornado. Does the same thing but is more configurable. I'm not sure what Mac or Linux users would use, but I'm sure there are clients out there.)

And here are links to download the film:
[edit: these links don't work now. I'm sure it's on http://suprnova.org/ somewhere, though--just do a search on that site.]

i use bittornado, too. (it is currently in the process of making me the proud owner of the simpsons season 1-15. out of curiosity, what settings do you use? i'm trying to optimize my downloads.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Let's see. The biggest thing you can do is open up ports 6881-6999 on your firewall if you have one. Check here about that. As far as bittornado, I set it to default to "dsl/cable slow" and then up the upload rate to 25-28 or so. It's best to have this a little lower than your upload cap. I upload at about 30 kbps. If you're not sure what upstream your connection has, check it out at http://www.dslreports.com/stest. All of this is to make you able to accept outgoing connections--because the faster you upload, the faster you download. Just be sure to back the upload rate a little off your actual max so you can have a little upstream for other applications. And I think it may actually choke things up if you let it go max.

I was just looking at my settings under "prefs," and I have it using ports 50000-50006 (with those ports opened on the firewall, of course). I forgot exactly why I changed that from the default (6881-6999). There's one site I use that might require you to do that--or it might have been to avoid conflicts with the two other machines on my network. But I use it like that with all bittorrents and haven't had a problem; I guess the client and the tracker work together to use whatever ports you want to. But if you get good downloads on 6881-6999, I wouldn't change it.

Anyway, the upshot of all that is that I get downloads that max out my connection, which is usually 150-160kbps.

[oheunoia.livejournal.com]

thanks a lot for the info. i actualy turned my firewall off a few days ago after realizing that that was screwing everything up & i couldn't get the port forwarding to work. my status light wouldn't change from yellow.

two more questions and then i'll shut up. do you ever use the super-seed option & do you change the max uploads at all?

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

No problem! I don't ever use super-seed; I ran across something a good while back that said it wasn't good to use, but I don't remember what it said. And sometimes I'll change the max uploads to six or something just for the hell of it, but I don't ever notice it changing the speeds.

welcome to july, junior. anyways yeah bittornado is the best.

i think the "michael moore wants you to steal his movie" thing was a hoax a few months back, and he just went with it, because what the fuck does he care as long as people are watching it?

i burned vcds. :D

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

LOL--I didn't even notice the date on that. I got screeners of it a long time ago, and downloaded a DVD version a couple of weeks ago. Oh well, everyone has his own level of 3L33Tness. :)

[sarcasmosis.livejournal.com]

fuck being ahead, I AM THE CURVE BITCH.

or whatever.

I don't blame you,brother..Moore rides on the coat tails of misery as most oppurtunists' often do..I've never seen the film or "Bowling for Columbine",just sickens me,that he tries to make money from events that shocked us alle,to me there something exploitive and wrong with that,thanks,brother for keeping the doors of thought open,peace always
