I just reformated my computer, and was curious what people used? I used to use BitTorrent, but ive also heard good things about BitLord.

 

What do you guys use?

 

 

One of my friends just showed me QBitorrent (Seems like a good torrent app with no ads/extra frills)

I use BitTorrent Pro with built in virus scanner. There is also a free version without the virus scanner.

A word of caution: I would NOT use any torrent s/w without either TOR or some other "anonomizing" method, such as a proxy connection. Check out this link for a list of providers.

I was using TOR until there was some hacks penetrating some nodes. I currently use "Hide My Ass".

 

Your mileage may vary.

this.

 

I dont use torrents anymore.

 

I pay a small monthly fee for a uploaded.net membership instead. There isn't much that isn't uploaded to these type sites. And you can see/check the quality before hand.

 

Not saying you are 100% safe, but Im not aware of anyone thats gotten notices from their ISP.

Torrents do come in handy in Linux world as many useful apps and such are distributed that way.

 

I would be careful of the pay sites like uploaded.net (re: Kim Dot Com of New Zealand). If a copyright holder subpoenas them, they most likely will cave and give them your info. There are a lot of "copyright trolls" out there looking to make a buck and the RIAA (Recoding Industry Association of America) would look unfavorably, and a lot of software industry types (Apple, MicroSloth, Oracle, etc).

Back to the subject of torrents, if you're using any torrent s/w, outfits like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast (soon to absorb Time Warner) have programs monitoring traffic for torrent use. Chect out "Torrent Freak" for details and advice.

Ive always been curious about TOR but never really cared enough to look into it. Besides, i hear theres some pretty fucked up shit on there. Something i dont want my IPS knowing i'm looking at.

 

 

That said, all you have to do is read the comments on most conventional torrents. No comments = don't download.
