Human social structure is limited to about ten to twenty people. In such groups people attempt to bring out their best qualities since they cannot feign or mask ineptitude behind a sea of others. Once you start passing those numbers, many people will effectively "cruise" on the waves of society with the minimum effort.

The ''crowd factor'', even if you get intelligent and ressourcefull people, which sadly not everyone is.

To avoid itself from getting the same fate, now Fileserve can only download the files that you uploaded personally.

Kafriel · 2012-01-23, 08:56

So, why protect children from the internet when it's not something they should be using in the first place?

Darkbeat · 2012-01-23, 09:15

Filesonic too? The Mayans were right. It's over. XD

GDB · 2012-01-23, 09:19

It's kind of funny, how sites like fileserve and filesonic are making their sites personal storage sites now. They might as well just shut the sites down, because no one will use them anymore. Especially if they just randomly went and disabled accounts so people can't even get at what they uploaded.

Ryusiangel · 2012-01-23, 11:22

makes me wonder if they will also make torrent disable and how about mirc? where most anime get download as well

DonQuigleone · 2012-01-23, 11:44

Torrents are nigh impossible to eliminate due to their decentralized nature. Torrents don't even need to rely on single trackers anymore. And bittorrent websites require almost no resources to run, compared to something like megaupload.

I kind of assume they're moving to this kind of system temporarily and scouring their websites for anything they can remove then reopening them and being actually somewhat vigilant about deleting stuff. Either that or they'll be like mangafox was when onemanga shut down. They deleted quite a few series off their site, and then after like a month or two all those series were back.

Fileserve and Filesonic just kicked in the private modus - you can only download files, you uploaded yourself.

Guernsey · 2012-01-23, 13:22

The only thing I hate about torrents is how long they take to download especially with seeding.

Solafighter · 2012-01-23, 13:35

I think this is not new to some people, but heck.

Well, on average my friend (with a top notch connection) can download a movie in 5 minutes. Me, I take 2-3 hours+

kenjiharima · 2012-01-23, 20:43

So we're all torrents now...I see

You can thank Big Brother - US Government for that, it seems to get 100% results when it motivates the Nation through fear.

You exaggerate. A file takes a minimum of 10mins with a top notch connection if it's 250mb(average anime fansub size). But movies takes 2.5gb.

I really don't think he is...

My scrappy little Eee can pull an average of 3~4 MB/s (upload and download combined) on our network at work/school and can finish most files with a good seed in a minute or less. The only real delay is the peer search to find the best seeders which can take anywhere from ten seconds to a minute depending on the torrent and the seeders. And note that this is on an Eee for which the torrent software devours the already paltry processing power of the little guy. If I use a real computer with some bite to its bark, I can max out the connection to 10 MB/s.

...But, I use Usenet. So all my downloads take like 30 seconds at 10 MB/s anyway.

Who uses torrents?

Just for some numbers:
250 MB file at 4 MB/s = 62 seconds.
250 MB file at 10 MB/s = 25 seconds.
2 GB file at 4 MB/s = 8.3 minutes.
2 GB file at 10 MB/s = 3.3 minutes.

Guernsey · 2012-01-23, 23:51

I think I gonna get a Usenet but I'll probably stick with utorrent or Vuze...

But this isn't always the case. And that computation is flawed due to the fact that 5MB/s isn't always 5MB/s. D:

Arturia Polaris · 2012-01-23, 23:58

Well my torrents go at a whopping combined speed of 300 kb/s dl 20 kb/s ul at best.

Hail Argentina's glorious internet connections.
