    That's a bit of FUD there Monse. I would expect someone with your work experience to be more professional about the facts behind their recommendations. Bit torrent checks each piece with a SHA1 hash that is then confirmed against the hash generated by the tracker. Assuming you can trust the place hosting the tracker, there is nothing insecure about downloading with Bit torrent.

    Yes, because you can always trust random near-anonymous tracker posters on the internet right?

    You seem to think that healthy caution and skepticism is FUD. I challenge you to tell me how, exactly. Being cautious about internet downloading is how I got to be an experienced professional and not some willy-nilly knucklehead out there (read: 3 million europeans that downloaded and spread the Beagle worm this weekend). There is no such thing as an impenetrable system, and bittorrent simply has not been attacked yet. Unlike kazaa, morpheus, napster, etc...

    Now go away or will taunt you a second time...

    it's more like trusting the original seeder of the torrent file not the tracker, the tracker just keeps 'track' of who's seeding/leeching.

    btw sonic i think you can repost your bt link now.

    Am I the only one scared about MonsE's new member title?

    Anyways, this looks cool. I might download it later, if, of course, I beat my natural fear of AWMs.

    Actually, that's not true, as I listed before. The tracker gives you a set of SHA1 hashes for every piece of the file, so that it is computationally impossible for someone to replace a piece with something malicious.

    It makes you no more vulnerable then downloading directly from an anonymous link. Obviously its not smart to download and run software from places you don't trust. My point was that there isn't anything about the bit torrent system that is less secure than a direct download, which is what you were implying.


    Sorry if I'm getting a little defensive here, but I see bit torrent as a potential solution to most bandwith problems on the net. I would really like it to become a standard piece of software. It has a hard enough time catching on, just because its an extra download, and unduly questioning its security doesn't help.

    Awesome game!

    Quite non-linear, decent physics, looks stunning, fun to play with some lovely action events (some scripted, some not). A.I. needs tweaking however, at the moment it's not bad or good, merely 'competent'. I was hoping to face some extremely intelligent foes, but then again there's still time for them to improve this aspect for release.

    Here's a few pics for your delight <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you have cable internet access, make sure you have it set as such. Many cable providers start to throttle your bandwidth if you are uploading too much. If it doesn't give you an option, download one of the newer clients.

    The SHA1 hashes mean nothing if the file that was originally seeded contains a virus, you're just checking SHA1 hashes of an infected file ;p

    That doesn't make it any worse than regular downloads then.

    i tried to play, when it was loading the map or game, it stopped and gave me a critical error after i waited 3 minutes doing nothing [i had to alt tab out to see the message, or even know it was there]

    second time, after id exited and started it up again, got to same point, and it froze. couldnt close the program, or force it to close, or alt tab out, or anything. entirely frozen my computer.

    so i restarted, and uninstalled it.

    Mm, this is quite cool.

    Reminds me vaguely of Halo, except without the crappiness. Don't argue with me here on how good Halo is, no one can make me think it's the absolutely awesome game people seem to think it is. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. The reason it makes me think of Halo is the wide open expanse in the beginning and even that little jungle climb.

    I have to say if the whole game looks as good as the demo does and brings some gameplay to the table...

    This could kick some serious ****.

    More than a little defensive - you sort of sound like a microsoft press release: "unduly questioning its security doesn't help." <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Blindly trusting the security is much worse, and I implied nothing - I stated facts. I didn't say "and you should also check other types of download links", because after all these years of interneting, it's pretty much common knowledge that you should use mainstream sites for best results. P2P is pretty new to a lot of folks, and many still think that the sharing and hugging and loving means it's not packed with maliscious kids ready to screw your PC up for fun.

    Calm down, I'll stop questing your precious Bittorrent now, hippies, I know I've hurt your feelings enough suggesting the slightest possibility of its integrity. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
