okay i just recently started downloading with torrents and just have a few basic questions i guess, and sorry i just didn't feel like using the searchbar...


what is the usual speed you get for downloading?
what program do you use?
is there any other places besides thepiratebay.org, cause i can't find what i want?

thanks!

I use azureus...and download speed depends on how many people are seeding.

mininova.org is a good one

If its a good one, over 600kb/s, but on average its in the 500's. It will be lower the more you are downloading, and it also eats all of your internet if you don't put a limit. Uploading slows it down the most. The two posts before me have listed good sites.

also if you live in the states you can use demonoid.com.

also a good idea on torrents is to use some sort of program that hides your ip address like this one

http://www.hide-ip-soft.com/

its 35 bucks but for that price it will pretty much garuntee that you wont get caught for downloading and if you are downloading torrents all the companies have to do is bring up the torrent and see who is downloading or has downloaded and they figure that out by the ip addresses
