That is self-explanatory! I like isoHunt
Are we even allowed to talk about this?
I don’t know anything about torrent, but I know it violates copyright laws aka illegal.
torrentscan.com is good way to search a bunch of them easily. Isohunt and Mininova usually seem to be the best for me.
Torrentfinder searches multiple sites nicely and available as a google toolbar button.
I suspect not. Bye, little thread.
where’s that bitch Jodi who thinks I’m the scum of the universe for walking in to a few movies without paying. I think someone else needs to be berated.
Can someone tell me what a Torrent is?
Are you familiar with Napster and Kazaa and that kind of downloading/sharing program? It’s sort of like that, but not.
Basically, with a torrent you split your file in question into many pieces. If I want your file, I can download an identifying file for it (which tells my torrent-downloader what i’m actually after) and so get those seperate bits of that file. But say Annie also wants the file. She can download bits from you, but she can also download the bits i’ve already got from you, too. So instead of us both having to get it from you, we share out the uploading/downloading. And it’s faster, since Annie doesn’t need to wait until i’ve completely got the file before it’s avaliable from me for her. And if your or my computers go down, there’s still one of us for Annie to download from. And she can be downloaded from in turn. And if there’s, say, 1 of us who has part 1, and all of us have part 2, your tracker will prioritise downloading part 1 because it’s rarer, giving you a better chance of getting the whole thing.
The torrent itself is the identifying file, IIRC.
Gray area. Closed.

lobstermobster, this is a warning. No personal attacks in IMHO.
