I recently purchased a new iMac! I absolutely love it so far!!! have worked with them before, but this is the first time I have bought one. I don't want to install any version of Windows on it. I'd rather just have one OS on it.

I used to use Toto Browser, WeDisk, Ondisk (?), etc. to download stuff. I would put 5,000 won on and it would last me about 6 months.

With Apple computers however, I can't seem to find any good programs to download stuff with Korean subtitles (I am married to a Korean, so the subtitles are nice to have if we watch a movie).

Anyone have any good websites for Korean Torrents, or Korean programs that are Apple compatible? I have looked on Naver, but it seems that in order to download torrents, you have to download a program to download the .torrent file. I am looking for something like Demonoid, Fenopy, Piratebay, etc where you can download the torrent file directly from the site then open it in uTorrent.

Thanks for any help! Very Happy

All you need to do is go to one of the sites you listed, like PirateBay, and download the .torrent file. Then, use a program like Transmission or Vuze to download that torrent by dragging the .torrent file into the application window. It will then download the corresponding file to your computer.

This is a good site to get Korean subtitles:

Thanks for the advice.

I always get my movies from torrent sites like the above, it is just the subtitles I have a hard time finding. I've been to several of the Korean subtitle sites mentioned on this board, but SOMETIMES the subtitles are unavailable on those sites, but on the other programs (toto, wedisk, etc...).

I found a way to do it though. I setup my laptop through the wireless router, so I can remote desktop to it from my Mac. Then I can open a program, or website I can't normally access, then go back to business.
