    does any one have any sugestions as to where to get a reliable supply of downloadable movies and music? i have a 1.5meg conection so speed is not an issue? any ideas would be great. I have tried kazza and imesh but both to slow and un reliable.

    WinMX is good

    Click This Winmx Downloadto go to the website.

    It's reliable and no annoying adverts.

    ZXxx Getting Stiggy wid it!

    WinMX = shite

    Try Kazaa, however, when you download it, then download kazaa lite++. This is a faster version with no pop ups etc.

    It's a P2P application that I use to constantly download the following for me and missus:

    THE OC
    ONE TREE HILL
    SMALLVILLE
    DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
    LOST
    THE AMAZING RACE
    CAR RACING MISCELLANEOUS (MISCHIEF ETC) AND
    MOVIES

    I've only got 512, but I get some great speeds.

    I have used what everyone has suggested to you and hate those programs

    All bullshit ques that never get you anywhere and slow speed. The only one of those sorts of program that has a lot of results and have half a chance of getting a file after sitting in the que is edonkey2000. For all my hard to get music single tracks and some videos i use Limewire which i have not been disapointed with. I usually only use bit torrent for full albums or armin van burren mixes which is ok but speed usually isnt fantastic. Most movies and games etc can be sourced using xdcc on mirc with search programs like ircspy.com packetnews.com once you find a file its super fast downloading. Unfortunately filesharing world is not what it used to be.

    Ares for music. Far & away the best program for mp3 downloads. Make sure you don't install the bundled navhelper-it's optional spyware.

    Full albums/movies/tv episodes etc. are best downloaded with bittorrent as people have mentioned. I recommend Azureus if you have java, or yABC(very simple to use).

    There are many good sites for bittorrent content, but really shouldn't be posted on here as they contain 99% illegal downloads...would reflect poorly on the assoc. :thumbsdown:

    Cheers,
    Rich

    The most popular at this point in time is Exeem.

    www.exeem.com is a new form of bitorrent. Its is fast, no ads installed on your PC, and bought to you by the old suprnova.org.

    Wouldnt use anything else.

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    NO, it's completely free >>

    ... and Kazaa Lite K++ (which is what I use) has NO adware or popups and actually works on a ranking system, ie. the more you d/load, the faster speeds you can get up to. (i guess just an incentive scheme)

    I love it to bits and swear by it for anything I need >>> EXCEPT, apparently what files you download is monitored by your ISP and by new laws, they are REQUIRED to report any user (ie, YOU & ME) to the proper authorities when X amount of mp3's are d/loaded per user or when key words in file names are picked up (eg, pedophile, kiddy porn, etc...)

    I don't know how true this stuff is but it probably wouldn't hurt to be carefull regardless. (I think i could be in a spot of bother with the MP3's though ;) )

    Anyway, please correct me if i'm wrong though.

    Cheers, Ben.

    That depends on what sort of content you're looking for

    For example here is a site for TopGear and FifthGear episodes, click here

    Do a Google search for a specific movie or series and you'll end up finding sites that offer other similar content.

    piratebay.org is one of the best search engines around

    there is no stopping those krazzy swedes....

    As they point out the torrent trackers are not copyright material.
