Torrents

[Stupid Fitz]

Can someone give me a brief explanation of Torrents?  I mean like, what are they, can I get in trouble for getting jams this way  , can they give me computer herpes  , where do I get them, how do I get them, can they go into my itunes once I get them? 

I really don't have a problem buying songs on itunes, I just hear a lot about these torrent thingys.  Also, if I can't just push like 3 buttons to do this I have no interest, so if it is more difficult than that, mods please delete thread.

TIA

can they give me computer herpes 

Wichita computer fixer speculated a few weeks back that my computer got mumped up from the game torrents.  Wasn't clear how Saul was on that theory when he came down to check it out post-repair.

download utorrent. go to a website like btjunkie or something. search for what you want. click download torrent, and open it with utorrent. boom.

read comments on each torrent to make sure there is nothing wrong with it. try to get the most seeders and leechers possible.

Mods /thread, I have no idea what any of this means.

Well, then you're clearly "respected".

Mods, I have no idea what this means either.

I did look at that btjunkie site.  So, like if it says trusted, I should be ok, right?  Also, I looked at one that had a "fake" vote.  Assume I should probably stay away from stuff like that???  Also, once downloaded, can they be imported to itunes?

Thanks ew2x4, I appreciate the info even though your last post was probably mean, but I don't know for sure.

if you're downloading music/movies and it comes in an .exe file, run the other way.

Heard about these.  I am pretty sure I am just going to keep paying a dollar per song.  I have a feeling I would be posting a "Help Remove SF's Computer Herpes" thread very soon, if I even figured out how to download any in the first place.

Thanks

Music is the most risky thing to download, movies 2nd.

Child porn is probably right up there too, would have to ask saul about his deep internet days.

Yea if your going to navigate this kind of crap make sure to have software like malwarebytes to scan everything first.

I just downloaded utorrent recently.  Reading the comments is important.  They can tell you if the torrent, sucks or is invalid or someone got in trouble for copyright.

Hello torrenting friends.

Is it possible to torrent things like call of duty maps? (for xbox) I have no idea and google doesn't give me the answer.

just don't use pirate bay

if you are super elite, you can get on private trackers and that is the safest way to visit the city of torrance

BUT I USE A PC!

open registrations right now at demonoid.me if anyone is interested

[ChiComCat]

broXcore, I would like to be super elite so if you can pm me an invite to some private trackers, I would appreciate it.  This goes for any other super elites as well.  Next time I'm in Manhattan, I will buy you a beer.  And if you arent there, I will buy one and hide it somewhere so you can get it later.

I think demonoid is one of these. But I really don't know 

[asava]

LOL at this. hilarious, you guys.

[yoga-like_abana]

I really need a better place to find and download music. anybody? 

[star seed 7]

ya, i have gone in and out of phases for torrenting.

lately i'm back in it, but the only site i know of is pirate bay.  please help with more sites.  i'm willing to have good upload ratios.   

p.s. remember how easy napster was.  when i got dat broadband at haymaker hall first semester, bam!  15,000 songs.

[Mikeyis4dcats]

yes,
yes,
and yes.


I use Vuze.   It's a little more bloated than utorrent, but it allows me to transcode and stream to my Tivo and PS3 (and a lot of other devices)
