There's also an option to "automatically remove once downloaded" but yes, for a millisecond of time, you'd have the file.

However, there's definitely a global trend about people chased for this kind of thing being seeders, long time, multiple files, essentially acting as distributors for others to obtain files.

Maybe it's the most low hanging fruit for legislators to go after, though.

Then again it gets mired down. What if you just share out the DVD that's sitting in your DVD player that you legally purchased?

"oops it was taken without my knowledge, those tricky pirates!111"

So can someone explain VPN and what you need to do to avoid being caught?

in short what it does is create a tunnel from your system to the VPN server then the VPN server connects to the internet.

so all the traffic from your system outbound is encrypted and has no identifying details.

and as there would be hundreds of users on the VPN server no-one knows who's traffic is whos.

great for secruity for public networks.

Some also have servers in multiple countries you can connect to so lets say you ahve a foxtel Go account but are in Germany, Foxtel block the traffic. but you can select a AU server and stream your V8Supercars. (this is a completely random scenario as I'm sure you can imagine)

but lets say you are being a little dodgy and want to download a tv show or a movie, (not that any-one here would)

so long as you pick a VPN provider that does not keep logs of traffic there is no-way to track who is downloading what data, even better select one of those end points i a foringe country that has no data laws.

there are a bunch of servers that do this for a nominal fee. Below is the one I use

It's still illegal. you cannot make a backup copy for personal use.

this was covered off during some PS2 lawsuits years ago.

Edit it was something about circumventing security in place by the movie studios.

Double Edit: they are not going after you for downloading..and they cannot at this point, it is the seeding/sharing that is illegal, same as selling a pirate DVD is illegal.

I wouldn't buy one that didn't already have the 6 speed box.

they are cheeeeeap and I need a train station car that is still kinda enjoyable

Inark bought one a while ago, not sure if he still has it

Got it cheap and had quite a bit done to it

Want one but with an off tap l28 in it

refund if you don;t want to go to the new version, or a ticket to the new one.

so yeah no-one screwed over. well unless you bought accom, flights etc

Just bought these for the skyline... $30 (new is $360 from Nengun)... in Typical Drift Sales fashion, no mention of the fact that they're missing the rod end spacers until I'm organising a time and location for pickup.

Ah well, should be able to source some that are suitable from Fulcrum or Hardrace etc.

Why is every fgt including a pic of their car in their wall post saying they might go? Who gives a shit if your evo 7 or Hyundai is there, what a fkin draw card

we do this on SAU events as well, once a few post it up shows others that no you don;t need a out and out race car or 100% perfect show car, any-one can attend.

bumps up interest as well.

think of it as a marketing thing.

    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole
