Last time I was stung by a wasp I was just standing on the street. I wasn’t even moving. I was standing for about 30 minutes waiting when suddenly a wasp came, stung me on the neck and went away flying.
It was a “fuck you in particular” with qll the letters.
I’m not comparing old e2k with old BitTorrent. I’m comparing “modern” e2k with modern bittorrent.
Its hashes use an outdated algorithm.
Torrent files are more complete and reliable that e2k links.
Speed is also way better on bittorrent nowadays, not only because the amount of peers, but because the protocol works just better coordinating multiple peers together.
Also BitTorrent is better at avoiding cluster on your router. E2k peers will hit your router for apparently unknown reasons all the time even if you are not sharing anything.
There’s reasons why people moved away from it.
For its time it was great, I agree. But bittorrent became the better p2p protocol over time.
I don’t think is a private tracker per se, or at least most people don’t use it like that. As most servers (all I know) and the Kad network is public.
As a protocol is worse in everyway that BitTorrent.
But it has been used for so long that the amount of antique media is amazing. It’s my last resort for when I want to find something obscure that doesn’t exist anywhere else.
Also sharing is really simple, and the integrated search makes easy to find stuff, rather than navigate a ton of trackers or try to set up embedded search in a BitTorrent client and have it fail half the time.
It also lacks any essential security features, it’s just blind trust based in a filename unless you got the e2k link from a forum. So I wouldn’t download an executable from there.
That’s the reason for the skirt, it prevents the gayness. Now it’s just a girl giving me a handjob, totally not homo :3
It’s important to know that not all people think like one self.
If we fail to understand that communication between people becomes very complicated.
I don’t think a ban is justified there. Not at all. But it’s true that with that attitude, failing to see that your way to interpret the rules is not shared by others, would ultimately lead to a justified ban.
Thanks for everything!
It was one of the greatest safests places to get games.
