Not that I can get my bittorrent working. Everytime I download something it doesn't play, but I know a lot of people on here use it and might find this interesting.

There are more and more b.t. sites all the time. Limiting a searching service on one site is more P. R. than anything else.
It seems to me that the teams of over-paid lawyers need these minor victories to justify their existence.

Oh. If nothing plays, try a different player. There are lots of free ones available. VLC, for instance, plays damn near anything these days.

I never used his site anyway and there are probably thousands of torrent sites out there and millions of torrents, so whatever!!
if the studios think they have won the fight. then need to think agian!
they might have one the fight but they are out numbered, out smart, and out witted for the WAR!! the only way to stop illegal downloading is by turning off the interent!! and I dont think the studios can do that!!
so boo hoo to them!! LONG LIVE THE INTERNET!! and LONG LIVE P2P!!

its a reality, its here , and its here forever!!

I intially searched for bit torrent on google and bittorrent.com was the first one that came up. I went ahead and downloaded it because it was mac compatible. Any other players out there Mac compatible?
