01.06.15 | used os x all my life and have not gotten malware even one time even with sketchy sites and torrents |
Oneironaut
01.06.15 | Sweet, that's what I assumed - that OS x isn't popular enough to warrant all the malware/viruses that afflict PC users. Thanks guys for the low down and I will check out soulseek as well - I've been hearing about it for years on this site |

01.07.15 | @DecayingMajesty - thanks for that tip man, will look into it. I'm pretty clueless with tech so this is welcome news for me.

01.07.15 | just never let any girls touch your computer thats what i say youll be virus free for a lifetime |
Oneironaut
01.07.15 | Aright, I've downloaded and sort've figured out how to download with soulseek - any tips with regards to maximising download speeds/how to not be a cunt to the community with regards to file sharing? I've set my shared folder as the same one as my downloads folder (there's no music except for the shit I'm downloading now)
Also any tweaks to make download speeds faster? |
alachlahol
01.07.15 | cancel all pending glassjaw albums you have queued up,,, download speeds will dramatically improve |
ShadowRemains
01.07.15 | download a thing called mackeeper, it'll really help your download speeds |
Oneironaut
01.07.15 | @alachlahol - haha Worship and Tribute cancelled, can I still download Blackwater Park in FLAC, 320, 192 etc at the same damn time?
JK I guess I'm not as computer illiterate as I made it seem - I'm sort've getting the hang of this shit. Thanks for all the tips |
Oneironaut
01.07.15 | @ShadowRemains I guess you can't filter people who really just wanna fuck your shit up but come on dude! My grandma knows mackeeper is whack |

01.07.15 | All I can say is that my computer's speed has decreased exponentially since I began pirating - and I have a mac |
Oneironaut
01.07.15 | @ChoccyPhilly - thanks mate, I guess I have to weigh up the options of whether or not pirating tunes is worth it in the long run. Made me feel less invincible on my Mac, which is a good thing. |
ChoccyPhilly
01.07.15 | I think it's about your source too and how reliable the website is. I personally put all my pirated files through a converter to rid them of virus' which helps a little |

01.07.15 | as for torrenting speeds make sure your utorrent upload and download limits (in the settings) are set to infinite and go wired if you can
"All I can say is that my computer's speed has decreased exponentially since I began pirating - and I have a mac"

SCREAM!
01.07.15 | I torrent and my PC works fine. As long as you're not an idiot torrenting isn't a problem |
betray
01.07.15 | gonna have to agree with SCREAM! here pc or mac as long as you aren't stupid about the shit that you download you're gonna be fine
haven't had antivirus software on my pc for years |
Oneironaut
01.08.15 | @SCREAM! & Betray - word, I guess don't be a kook about it and I should be cool. Thanks again everyone for the tips and laughs. |
