We have all had to sit and wait for ungodly download speeds for some of these roms and other things. Sometimes the download links are broken. And no one likes dealing with those download sites like mega upload.
Why don't we, as a community, run torrents for all of these things?
I almost always have a computer running torrents, and I have a seedbox at work. I would be more than happy to run torrents for the different files we have around here - Roms, kernels, themes, other patches, etc.
I searched around and couldn't find anything about using torrents as a community, but I think it would be a good addition. Are there any drawbacks that I'm just not aware of?

Thanks, greenboy.
I'll get some of the roms up on torrents tonight, and maybe we can get this going!

Sign me up, I'll offer to seed indefinitely, laptop runs 24/7, normally run an upload limit of 500kb/s on uTorrent in background.

I seeded a couple in the past in the Thunderbolt forum and only like 2 people even used them. I would ask the devs first that way they can link your torrent file in their threads.
That is probably a good idea. Those files will be paused until I get permission from the devs.
please do not host/mirror any of those files without the DEV consent
and even if you do get the DEV consent, the DEV him/herself should seed their own files only, using any of the publicly available torrent sites

Let me first say i am NOT trying to ruffle any feathers, just an honest question.
Why would it matter who ends up seeding them if given developer consent?
it's just the way how things are run in XDA, DEVs wants to have control over their own files, in case of crap happens
we do however allow recognize DEV's little helper if he/she publicly announces one

I suppose this could be the problem with torrents, once it's seeded by one and spread it always has potential to be seeding by anyone. Suppose 'Jon' links 'Tom' the torrent, Tom isnt too familiar so Jon installs the ROM for him but Tom never stops seeding. It's out of anyones control at that point.
Regardless, I understand you're point.

If it's originally hosted by the dev then just seeded by others this isn't a concern, the only concern would be hosted by nonames.

Exactly. If the dev originally seeds it, malware is not a concern.

ive been doing this with skyrocket roms, i run it by the devs, the say ok, i host them.
Would I be allowed to make a torrent file that included all current custom roms for our HTC buzz,being that some of the download links on the threads are either dead or non existent now? If so,would this be something anyone would be interested in?
Go for it. I'd use it. It'd be a brilliant resource for developers and users alike.
A nice thought....I can say no body will mind but appreciate your work...
Ok then
I have attached a jpg of the existing roms I have,in case someone would like to add one that I might not have? I currently have 34 archived and ready to go. Let me know gents. I want to do this asap.
Update
Just added the ongoing sense 3.5 rom.

Well, left it on for some time, just to come back and see that it didn't even start.
This is my first port people so be gentle. I just thought I would share with the rest of the NS4G community. I know the presentation us rough right now but I am not at home. I will come back later and try to make it right.
Tell then here is a port of the nexus s paranoid for who ever wants it.
What works: all but 4g I know off
What doesn't: 4g and carrier label
Removed cause I be ignorant sometimes. Gotts to cut back on smoking.
Download latest gapps: I will put up a link soon or just go download elsewhere for now
Working on learning apktookit and stuff like that so hopefully soon I can figure it out. Oh and all comments are welcome, just remember I really don't know what I am doing.
Nice thanks

Does this ROM use the tablet UI and if so does the dpi change from 240 stock?
DPI is still 240 and they have 2 different tablet modes.
Superuser kinda tripped right now when I took the screenshot but that is the first issue I have had, still have root.
Mod should delete this aced ineptly added it twice

Here is a quick fix for carrier lable.
Just download this file: http://db.tt/C7BFChEQ
Its a eri.xml file just use root explorer and move to /data, set permissions to all and reboot.
You can also edit file and change where it says sprint, to whatever u want for a nice custom touch.
I got this file from thread here just can't remember where to give credit.
Oh damn, wasn't there last I checked. Sorry all guess this can be closed.

http://www.paranoid-rom.com and it actually says
We will be changing the way we manage forum. As we won't use server for downloads anymore, all port threads / build threads, will be deleted, and we will keep using XDA. Changelogs, news, etc, will be kept here, and overall paranoid discussion for all devices in general (No device specific issues or whatsoever), will be also kept here.

Wait... this also enables soft keys?
This build has em in automatically for some reason, 1.9.2 didn't. There is already an 1.9.6 so I imagined they fixed it?
I like the big phablet mode and changing per app.
Anyone find links to the official builds or latest version? Info is kinda spotty on this ROM. Also any mirrors to this ROM, dropbox is too fast for my phone. Its gonna blow up.
Don't know where official is, if y'all still wanna try this until official is up I will upload elsewhere.
Yeah continue with this ROM I'm still working on steak and bacon rom so I'll be a little busy

Here is what is going on, I am currently using the note II....what i am looking for is simple - the One keyboard, usable on my device.
I need somebody to port this for me, I can provide all files necessary from the Sammy device if you can't find them or don't want to DL them.
Shoot me a pm. Whoever gets this done by the end of the will get $20 in their paypal account.

Try HTC standard keyboard and you won't be upset. Mostly you'll wonder how you managed before you found it.

Believe it or not I don't have the T999L! Just the plain old original T999. I just jumped in on that stuff because I like getting in on that discovery phase for a new device. And it was closely related enough that I could apply much of what I already knew to help others.
I have put out a few requests for the dumps needed. But for some reason most people just don't want to do the little bit of legwork required I guess. I still can't even get a /system dump or pull for the T999N, though several have said they would do so. Can't provide em with a way back to stock without it.
Anyway, I've kinda run into the same issues for finding these dumps. Still trying though.
Thanks for all your work KAsp3rd! And good to see you still pop in once in a while Woody!

Why not just upload it and PM him the link?
And I'm sorry to ask it of you, but if you are still currently stock, would you be willing to pull some stuff for me? I've been trying to find someone to do this so I can provide you guys with a way back to stock if needed. I did the same for the T999L if you want to check the thread in my Sig.
If you are willing, I can walk you through the process. Not too difficult at all.
If not, it's cool. Just asking.
