|
|
I am wondering which download programs are the best right now.
I plan to download things like survivor, Prison Break, and other TV shows. Some wrestling videos and the occasional movie.
I checked out bit torrent. It looks good but it's expensive, like $2 a video.
I had bad luck with Kazaa before, with spyware and viruses. |

Hey there Ilsan man,
I don't know what your talking about with bittorent, 2$ a video? I use that programme all the time and have not paid a cent. I did donate 80$ though, but that was because I was being nice.
download bittorent here http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-5.0.7.exe
once installed gotto one of many tracker sites, my favourite is www.isohunt.com
Simple as that!  |

utorrent is better as it has more features that are easy to use for tweaking downloads and it's free! You need to clarify whether you are looking for a download program (a program used for downloading torrents)or a torrent site (a site where you can search for torrents and then download them if you like, most are free and if you have to pay ...don't bother).  |

is utorrent vista compliant yet? I am right sick of azereus. Used utorrent on my old xp rig and loved it. When I got this Vista lappy, had to move to azureus, as utorrent wasn't vista compliant at that time... |

Hahahah you actually believe that compliancy shiet?
utorrent works just fine in Vista.
lol
compliancy... ehehheehhehe. Sorry I found this a bit humorous.. No offence. You think MS would ever make a program thats designed to infringe IP compliant? |

You're a real card, Wrench. I would have skipped Vista if Dell (bought a lappy, not a desktop, otherwise I would have built my own rig again)would have given me the option, but I got shafted with it. Then, I got shafted when a bunch of my older old software that didn't run properly on this POS OS. I guess I should have said 'compatible' as opposed to 'compliant'. Anyways, thanks for the heads-up. |

Hey, np. Will be uninstalling azereus today, definitely. Which version of utorrent are you using? The Beta or the latest Stable? |

both worked just fine.. I used the stable.. I try not to use Beta any more.
I used the web interface it was kinda cool that was the last beta I used.
I made my system dual boot and to be honest with Vista seems SO much faster compared to my xp64 although no where nearly as stable. |
