I've been using torrents for years, as long as you trust the site your downloading them from they are fine, private sites are the best though imo.

seeds are people who have downloaded it, and are sharing it, leachers are people currently downloading it

Thepiratebay.org it's called, dont know if you've heard of it? My friend said he's been using it for a while and he's never had any problems.

Torrents are fine as long as what you're downloading is quite well known and popular. If you're downloading some dodgy porn then you might be in trouble.

Torrents are great. I use them everyday. Just check the comments before downloading them.

Check the comments for a torrent before you download anything, saves later problems or wasting your time.

Make sure you know how to convert, unpack or deal with what you will receive.

Dont forget to seed when your download has finished.

Good point

Seed yer Greed

Dont seed it slows down your broadband speed.

[SoBig]

I only seed on sites where I have to maintain a ratio. On public ones? nope. The FBI or whatever can easily track you down.

[MTVN]

It actually worked Thanks for the help everyone

LOL@the explanation but I understand what you mean. I think you're saying you've lost MSN from your system tray. You'll probably have to re-install it unless you know the application name and how to use msconfig.

Try re-installing and tell me what happens.
