Kat Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Wellllll I give up. I waited around for 30 hours and then stayed up really really late just to watch the download complete. Then instead of clicking delete + .torrent I clicked delete + .torrent + data files. Anyone know a good deleted files recovery tool besides Recuva?
Kat Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) No it was 7.8GB Edit: Ok I never thought it would go there because I normally download the image and this was a split archive. I managed to salvage 42 of the 81 parts of the file... I guess this saves me some time... Edited June 17, 2009 by Kat
»Lynx Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Downloading is illegal in the UK, but there's a matter of proving that you actually downloaded something. Provided you encrypt, you'll always be fine. -Lynx
Samapico Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 And ... what about 'not knowing' that you're downloading something illegal? What if someone names his file 'lolcats.zip' and it's actually a cracked software? Oh... and on topic... I didn't play Prototype, but from what I read it can get boring rather quickly. I think it's a case of rent-before-you-buy. (Or download it) ... BUT THAT'D BE ILLEGAL.
»Lynx Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 How will they know that it's illegal? -Lynx ps. I'm getting Prototype next week on XBox, can't fucking wait. -L

I think it's a case of rent-before-you-buy. (Or download it) ... BUT THAT'D BE ILLEGAL. A lot of people who upload on megaupload/rapidshare names it with something different or shorten it to like PT01 for ProtoType part1 of a zip file. But then again, it can be argued that you should have known what you were dling since you need to visit a certain webpage to dl a torrent. Well the story is kinda short, 10 hours I suppose? But there is a bunch of side events or timed events that you can play. I think its mainly a game where you just move/jump around killing people and climbing walls like a normal sand-box game.
Chambahs Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Posted June 18, 2009 As far as getting boring goes, it doesnt. Because this game isnt like assassin's creed. That game was awesome, but got boring really fast. It was the same shit over and over and over and over, got boring. The side missions get you hooked in prototype, and its fun doing whatever you want too. You've also got all the 200 landmark things to get, and 50 hint things, plus complete the web, plus all the side missions, plus the story, destroying hives/bases, its full of things to do. Ill admit, i havent played it for a couple of days cuz i got burned out. I was playing it everyday for hours and hours for a while, now im at the end of the story, all missions are gold, and about 75% of web/landmarks/hints done lol.
Kat Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 I agree with Cham. I dobut I'll ever get tired of seeing the DEVASTATORS do their thing. It's got a pretty reasonable array of ways to get things done, though I feel the "wheel" is too much like Crysis and kind of cumbersome.
Testtube Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Lynx in Theory you may be right however in practice encrypting your data does not make you safe from the po po http://www.edri.org/edri-gram/number6.20/ripa-application-uk THere are many many articles around the net in the UK and in the USA where courts have forced the key to be given. things have been done to get the key from 10 yrs in jail To mandatory hypnotherapy to get the key that way.
»Lynx Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Encryption doesn't make you safe when you're actually encrypting the files, but that's not the kind of encryption that happens when you download. Instead, each packet is encrypted so DPI cannot take place, which is completely different. In that case, the police would have to decrypt my torrent client, by which time the key issued would then be out of date. For the record, DPI = Deep Packet Inspection, what is sometimes (rarely) used to catch downloaders. More often, the RIAA (or whoever) will seed a file to get your IP, then demand that IPs information from your ISP (who shouldn't give it - and the courts *should* ignore these requests due to privacy infringements/other legality issues). You can workaround this by only downloading from trusted peers (I don't know if this is available for you Windoze folk, but it's available for a Mac Torrent client called Transmission.) As for encrypting my files on my computer - that's completely pointless. I don't have to show how I purchased each piece of software/music/film to prove my innocence, they have to show that I've downloaded a file illegally to prove my guilt. Either way, if you research you shouldn't need to worry about getting caught for downloading. There are a lot of tricks to keep you under the radar, for the most part - but it's not impossible to get caught, however... I never said it was. -Lynx Oh, and hypnotherapy for downloaded files... I don't think so. -Lynx
