Title: Torrents
Post by: Hiro on June 27, 2008, 04:06:31 PM
Should I use them y/n?

I'm looking on Pirate Bay right now.

I'm scared I'll accidentally download a virus or something nasty ;-;


What are the changes/consequences of getting caught?


Anything else I need to know?

Torrents are safer than most P2P programs because people can comment on them, whether they get a virus from and such.

And what do you mean if you got caught? Torrents aren't illegal, and there isn't some internet police force that will come to your house and check for illegal material.

DO IT!!!!!!!!

I highly doubt your ISP provider will fucking care and turn you in.

Use some anti-virus software and scan the file(s) in the torrent(s) when they're done...or before.

Pirate Bay is fine, but I would download a tool to organize your torrents besides the default one Windows has. u Torrent is pretty decent.

And you can use Pirate bay, lol, just check out the comments, look for a high amount of Seeds (the more seeds the faster the download) and a low amount of leeches (faggots who are selfish pricks that never seed their downloads which isn't that hard.)

And yes pirating movies and songs are illegal but no one is going to stop you.
