Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
This section will explain a bit about getting games illegally.
I dont condone piracy, and I like to buy the original when I can, but demo's do not often represent the full game, as they are cut down, low quality textures, and you can often find that the full game gets boring after 5 minutes. Also when you are in school or a student, you just cant afford games at £40 at time until you start a proper job.
So please bare in mind quality games should be rewarded with cash so that the programmers can sit in a jacuzzi while thinking up the sequel.
With the Moral part out of the way, we get onto the technical side of what Bit Torrent is, and what you need.
Bit Torrent Explained
BT is filesharing on an individual basis, instead of like kazaa where choose what files share, BT shares only the file your downloading by sending people the parts you have already.
The speed you download is linked to the speed you upload to other people, so people who dont share by having a firewall or no available bandwidth can only download at 1kb/s.
What you need
Is a bit torrent client, while there is the official one, its a bit basic, and I recommend you go for http://www.bittornado.com which is the like the original but with lots of useful features.
Next you need a .torrent file which has the information of the 'tracker', the master computer that links up everyone.
Right click and save the torrent to your PC, dont just click as torrents have a habbit of changing or disappearing.
Double click the torret on your PC and BT will kick in, there are no 'start menu' options.
Slow Speed
Because when you start, you have none of the file to send to others, your download speed will go really slow. After 5 - 10 mins when you have half a meg, and you start sending to others, your speed will start improving.
You will need to allow BT through your firewall otherwise it wont be able to send to others and you will be stuck a really poor speed.
Community Spirit
Because BT relies on people sending the parts they have, once you have finished downloading your file, leave it running for 5 minutes or more if you have time. This is so that you send on the last parts of the file to someone else, keeping the torrent chain alive. If people dont do this, a torrent will either go slowly or just stop working. If you leave your torrent running for others, they will leave it running for you.

i just downloaded it and i dont know how to work it, like how to make the tracker .torrent folder and how the games work or something, you could make a tutorial for it maybe for noobs at bittorrent like me.

www.suprnova.org is slow unreliable and full of ad popups so i use www.swishmade.com instead, as it has all the same downloads as suprnova but faster and without so many ads sgtmatt, u dont need to make any tracker stuff unless u want to submit ur own files on the site which u wont cause ur a noob trust me on that. most of the games u download will probably be in cd image format, most likely a bin file. use a prog like deamon tools virtual cd drive to be able to use this file. stop me if any of that dont make sense. lol
Cheats don't bother me at ALL JUST the people that use them do!
