i started posting on a forum that was about torrents. i was already very proficient in torrents but this website was fun and new. for those of you not proficient with the term "torrents", torrents are the fastest possible way to download anything on the internet because you share the speed of all the users you connect to. everyone gives a little, everyone takes a little and you end up with maxed out speeds. faster the direct download from servers, faster than limewire, faster than kazaa,etc.
the best thing about torrents is you can get any type of media including,but not limited to: e-books,movies,music,video,applications,l
inux distros,etc at the maximum possible speeds your internet plan provides.
another advantage is unlike limewire, not only are most torrents,cept the dead ones,almost instantaneous, but you get to see what files you download so the chances you're going to get a viruses are slim/none as long as you stick with movies and music.; applications are always risky.
what's the downside with torrents?
the bad thing about torrents is:
they need an incredible level of customization on your part
*if you have a router, to get MAX SPEEDS, you have to forward your ports on a router. which is a b!!!!!!!!!!!tch but it isn't necessary
i've spent at least 8-9 hours making it and i still have more to add
well whatever for those of you who want the safest,fastest, easiest way to download from the internet you can read my
FAQ or you can ask me directly by responding to this LJ, sending me a message via myspace or,if i'm on,aim.
