I agree use bitcomet or Utorrent and download whatever you want that way.

bitcomet

how much does it cost ?

i am wary of programs that wont tell you how much till you have downloaded it !!

WOW, people still use Limewire, next you'll tell me Kazaa still exists :)

I use either newsgroups or torrents with Azureus client.

WinMX baby.... old school

Heard about this torrent thingy, whats the crack? Been using Limewire no probs.....although I have ahd a few fakes...

WinMX ain't old school

BitTorrents were created as a peer to peer protocol, basically you connect to a tracker which lists the other users and then you share data between yourselves, once you have the whole file your client changes behaviour to seed mode which means it just uploads to other users, it's a shared mechanism, with previous peer to peer systems you downloaded all of the data from a particular person, with Torrents it's all shared so no one ever really saturates their connection.

I class old school as the BBS days, way before anyone ever used the internet, those were the days :)
