I cringe as I write this but.....

I’m looking for a particular piece of software and can not locate it on usenet, therefore will have to revert to torrents. I tried this myself last night but the speed was dismal – I’d have been better off using a dial-up connection. I’ve got a 20mb connection and usually throttle the shit out of it with usenet, but anytime I’ve tried using torrents can’t get a bean out of them.

The software im after is called Toontrack’s EZdrummer.

If anyone can point me to a good torrent client and tracker I’d be most grateful.

uTorrent is a decent client. Max sure you limit your upload to 17/18kb though, that's probably why you've always had a shit connection. Leave it for 4-5 minutes to pick up as well, you need to connect to the seeds and the file hashes don't sort properly straight away.

Only decent torrent I could find is this one - https://www.mininova.org/tor/2055483

But looking through the comments says that the keygen has a trojan so I'd download that package, then try to find a keygen, or a premade serial, off somewhere else.

I wouldn't trust people who say that keygens are trojans. Most AV software picks up keygens as trojans anyway because of the algorithms they use. It's most probably fine.

Err, most antivirus software label keygens as "Hacker Tools" or some such. I'd be very worried if they labelled them as trojans without detecting a trojan.

I'll have to go with Jon B on this one, many a time has an anti-virus programme marked up a keygen as a trojan or similar. Try running it on 5 different anti-virus programs and about 2 will flag it up, the rest won't detect it.

Anyhow, managed to get it, speed was slower but faster than what I was getting before, so thanks everyone Thumbs Up

There is no reason for antivirus software to flag up keygens as trojans. There is nothing in a respectable keygen that could even possibly look like a trojan.

NOD32 always flags them up as something like . . "probably a variant of Win32/Kryptik.BJ trojan " it scares the user to delete it then. Wink
