BIT TORRENT and SERVER 2003

[Harper]

Does Bit Torrent work on Server 2003?

The reason why is that my work log in allows me remote access. And I am thinking the following :-
"Why use your bandwidth, when you can use some one else's instead."


After all, the server only needs to use it bandwidth 8/5.


[EDIT] The server is SBS 2003

Hey Silesia,

I don't know if it would work with Win2k3 server.
You will have to set some port triggers on your router though.
Port 6969 be open to communicate with the tracker this
is supposed to track the download progress of the files.
Ports 6881 - 6889 will also need to be configured
to trigger to communicate with other downloaders.

I would advise you that if you are downloading anything
shady that you are not anonymous. This would not
be a good idea at work since your ISP could drop you.

If you want to use it at home and are on a land but
are receiving slow downloads then you could try
this piece of software. I haven't used it yet so
use it at your own risk.

as it says at the top it is experimental.

Good Luck.

About 90% of my Bit Torrent Downloads have been anime fan subs.

If i was to download some thing shady, I would do it from my home as it a less of a risk of getting caught.

hey, Worked4me that article you posted: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/41933
said that most p2p clients were just fleeing to irc. I was wondering what makes irc so much more safe compared to things like kazaa or bit torrents.
