I haven't downloaded for a while either Sixpack , used to use emule , they were OK and other guys have used bit-torrent , though I never used them myself.

I'll be interested to see what the other guys on here say.

Torrents here.......
I use utorrent
as the client engine and my main search engine is Torrentz
There is a great FAQ and guide at the utorrent site.
TBH, I've not heard good storys about limewire and bearshare, seems like what you ask for ain't always what you get.

frostwire, and as with any P2P you have to be careful and know what you are doing so not to infect yourself.

Bit torrents are the way to go

Use Utorrent and ensure that you go into options and enable encryption on your outgoing connections

MOst sites where you can get torretns from let people make comments on the torrent - so any dodgy virus ones get picked up pretty quickly

I hate torrents, every time I tried them they were slow and/or had no seeders for what I was wanting.

What chu lookin for PG? I have found practically everything on the torrents. Download is usually 300 - 400K ... so a full length movie in about 45min to an 1.5 hrs. Music takes about 5 min for an album or in the case of Led Zepplin 45min for their entire discography. It's a beautiful thing my friend If you use utorrent I have some codes on the home puter that will let you search more places ... lemme know.

I can not say on public forums :lol:

I will say they were not as hot for downloads as movies or music tho lol, hence the lack of seeders.
