Torrent Download (What do you use?)

I've been using Vuze for over a year now, but now they are having serious problems. Yesterday, I was trying to download a few albums, but it actually would download the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Today, all attempted downloads are failing.

I don't trust MegaDownload. What else is there that is reliable?

Thanks.

BitTorrent is good, and limewire gets you pretty much anything you want

watch out for bugs though

Utorrent. I've never used anything else but even with less than 5 seeders, I can download and album in about 4 minutes. It rocks

thepiratebay.
also, for downloading single albums, i've found it's way easier to use either mediafire or megaupload. since i'm pretty sure they're (somewhat) more legal than torrents.

you're a fool. Stealing is stealing, there aren't different levels of pirating music.

as to the thread, Miro + thepiratebay magnet links, super simple and efficient package.

utorrent for a client, transmission if you have a mac.

To get your torrents, I suggest you use btjunkie.org, thepiratebay.org, mininova.org, or demonoid. All of them work great.

uTorrent. Love it. But for stuff I generally check mediafire and megaupload before I torrent. I don't trust torrenters all that much.

Transmission is the most simplistic and customizeable torrent for macs.

I've heard this is a winning combo. I've been using Utorrent for a while now and i've never had any problems. If you're going to use Frostwire or Limewire just make sure you virus protection is up to date and you check what you're downloading if legit

really? u guys dont like vuze? it usualy only takes me like 5-15 mins for an album and about an hour for a full movie.. plus if you have an xbox or ps3 on your home network you can just drag the movie to the thing on the side and watch it on your tv after like 5 mins to convert it. plus the search is really good in vuze cuase you can customize what torrent sites it searches and add any you want

vuze ftw

yeah definitely vuze ftw..
and then i use btjunkie.org to get whatever i need..
if you want tv stuff like how i met your mother, 24 and stuff like that, www.eztv.it is usually pretty swell :)
