Does anyone do direct download? As in no peer to peer, you download directly from a server. It is way faster because it is only limited on your internet speed, more reliable and anonymous because you are not connecting to another random person. There are a ton of sites that do this (megaupload, rapidshare, mediafire, filestube, just to name a few good ones) and if you just google what you are looking for with the word megaupload or rapidshare at the end you will find a bunch of sites containing that file. It is usually very good quality too, none of this 92 or 128kbps crap. Almost everything you find is 256 or 320kbps. I found this about 2 years ago and have only used torrents maybe 3 times since just for the random item I could not find. This method typically work best on new things because it is much easier for the record companies to have files removed due to copyright infringement as opposed to torrents because the file is located on a server and not a bunch of user computers but its rare that I am unable to find what I am looking for on at least ONE of the above sites. If you do use this method, you will need an extraction program such as winrar or unrarx because these files are usually compressed in either .rar or .zip format for easy transfer.
