    Torrents

    Can someone please help me build a list of decent torrents and what they're good for... I'll start with the two most obvious general choices...

    Torrent Reactor - www.torrentreactor.net

    use ABC if you's want to go the torrent route.

    make sure you forward those ports from your router mind (if you use one).

    its small, not resource hogg and does the job.

    anything less than 1024k/sec these days and i would be gutted :p

    usual speeds are a nice fat 1.2MB/sec.

    newsgroups all the way - to hell with pappy torrents!

    ABC is crap if you need to keep seeding files after you download.

    Azureus manages uploads automatically and sends topeople when needed. It hogs a bit of memory but saves a lot of time and hastle.

    I use a private site so i can't say which one i use. I dont like using public ones :eek:

    get yourself a copy of grabit.

    sign up to www.newzbin.com and buy sum premium credit.

    enter your blueyonder news server details into grabit.
