[...] Hoppá, ehhez mit szólsz, kiadták a Wikipédiát. Persze ez így nagyon nem igaz, mindössze annyi, hogy egy egyébként árvákkal és más kiszolgáltatott gyerekeket támogató SOS Children’s Village nevezet? karitatív szervezet munkatársai nekiálltak, és összelapátoltak több mint 5500 cikket a Wikipédiáról, ami 20 millió szót és 34000 képet jelent (ez egy 20 kötetes enciklopédiával egyenl?, azt mondják az okosok), 2.9 GB terjedelemben – így érthet?vé válik az is, hogy miért torrent.

This is a good example for copyright organizations and operators, who slows down p2p traffic, that p2p technology/programs like BitTorrent can be also used for completely legal use. But I think, that they will never understand (or want to understand) it :(.

for some reason I just see connection error when trying to download this.

yes and JW’s unhelpful attitude above, and the prodigious amounts of pornography one encounters when doing a search, as well as the serious problems people bring on when using LimeWire, and understandable issues and complications around using P2P clients, are some good reasons people are confused by bittorrent type solutions.

“The project was originally aimed at schools in developing countries, but because of the high quality articles… it is often used on intranets in first world schools too.”

LEARN the difference of internet and intranets, you dumb fuck. Besides the articles being hand picked! I’m sure they didn’t include articles lacking sources or just any random articles.

I love this shit.. THIS IS THE POWER OF BITTORRENT.

To the people who say its too difficult to use.. YOU. ARE. AN. IDIOT.

Grow a brain or stop breathing.. ignorance is not an excuse.

Notice the part where it says.. DISTRIBUTION COST TO ZERO. Yes ZERO. Education for FREE, for the COMMON GOOD. No F*CKING executives, no restrictions, no PROFIT.

THIS IS what the future could be if you retards would embrace this incredible technology.

Holy unnecessary words batman. Pretty sure #7 was making a joke that only the utorrent application would help out, and for some reason others, like deluge, ktorrent, etc, would not.

Someone needs to seriously chill and maybe take a trip to boobdex or something.

@7: Such illiteracy on this age is what brings your stupidity up front. Interesting that it keeps Utorrent running? hmm! first of all you can close the program or kill the process or stop sharing this torrent whenever you feel like it. Secondly, this is a voluntary action. I have certainly downloaded and the torrent and am seeding this. Obviously your logic (or lack thereof) ensures that the word “community” is out of existence. @12: A torrent file being a large torrent has many causes. For one, if you packed a lot of files and put them all inside a torrent, it would be something that works like a book with many chapters. The more chapters (files) there are in a book, the bigger the index and table of contents might be (the torrent file itself). Similarly the same thing happens with trackers and it depends on the information contained within the torrent file. It is indeed impressive for a torrent file, though most torrents oscillate between 3 k or less to probably this size or more. Anyway, I really like that this is proof to the ridiculous “media” and governments like that of the U. S, and more so in the UK and Canada to show that torrent and filesharing do not mean the cause for the “economy going down the drain” (so that then some kind of so called politician acting on THEIR FAVOR not THE PEOPLE’S INTEREST turns on the tv, watches the situation like a comic movie and then gets much income from all the taxes people pay). Geez, so much for preventing biassed and discriminatory commentary on anything, even at schools and colleges, and look at this… paradice for prejudice and hypocrisy all the way. I would really like these “anti-piracy” organizations or whatever they’d like to be called to BACK IT UP. Where are the losses the most? since when, and from where are these prizes obtained? yet HOW do you get the money to sue INDEFINITELY and all the campaigning? have you too noticed how the music on the radio is changing once every 4 months? and even tunes from last year’s shows get still played? HMM! that also tells me a lot of other things. But I am getting off topic here. Was just emphasizing my ppoint. Come on, it doesn’t take a genius to figure all of this out. I would love to see more educational and resourceful things like these in the future. Perhaps i will even implement my own too and torrents are the first stop. Perhaps too, if the media hadn’t been so biassed over file sharing and torrents such kind of huge losses (also known as pathetic imaginary losses, invented numbers) would not have occurred and it wouldn’t be so popular. But if you see the missing logic here is where everything falls into place: Now that this is instigating more things and “causing more trouble”, more people will be downloading things online and torrents are pretty much prevailing right now, whether these people like it or NOT. Why? Because by advertising things so much the media crewed itself over yet ONCE MORE and will keep doing so indefinitely.

“Without a doubt, it is the most successful ‘checked content’ project based on the English Wikipedia”

That is a nice fact, and ensures that I’m going to use this myself in my school projects, and keep seeding while I’m doing so.
