Its not free but I like using rapidshare, you pay a monthly subscription to the servers allowing you to download files which you find from warez forums or get given to you by someone who has a file for you to download. I know its not free but I get a steady 1.5MB/s download from the file servers which makes it worth it. There are very few viruses and those that are get picked up by the community quickly, also it doesn't hog resources like torrents tend to. Also there are some nice download managers out there to make life easier.

Why? I can find everything that I am after with single tracks that I can't find on Torrents.

Funny how they both use the Gnutella network on all the searches. I have always found Frostwire exactly the same as Limewire Pro. Also developed by the same people.

You must be downloading some dodgy stuff then as I have never had any corrupt files with Torrents.

BitLord is a BitTorrent client. It makes absolutely no difference which client you use as to the results.

P.S. uTorrent is pretty much the best client out there.

Even better site than the Pirate Bay. www.usniff.com searches 8 torrent sites and gives you the best torrents.

I use Utorrent. Thumbs Up

It is a shame then that Torrentz quite frequently cannot find files that are sitting there on TPB, eh?

Just out of curiosity what sort of download speeds do you guys get from bit torrent? Whenever I have I've got about 30KB/s at the maximum and a lot of them run at about 1KB/s.

Anywhere from 100KBps to 1100KBps. I usually average 900KBps on a good torrent.
