Other than torrentreactor and btjunkie I don’t know of any good torrent sites.
I use torrentz.com sometimes. I don’t really have anything else to compare it to though. It seems pretty good.
youtorrent.com = aggregator 8)
piratebay.org is all i use.

yep. best one out there.
If I were to use a torrent site, even though I don’t, I would find a nice private one, where you get fast download speeds…
mininova.org or meganova.org piratebay is garbage

Please go to the back of the classroom.
The torrent site has nothing to do with the speed of the torrents themselves.
That is dependent on the torrent seeders and leachers Internet connections themselves.
In fact the trackers are mostly the same accross the major torrent sites.

Agreed
Also how your application(your torrent client) that is handling the data makes for a slow down in your computer and hense makes your experience seem slower. Also the speed of your internet connection has lots to do with that. Also windows XP limits the amount of connections to the TCP/IP stack. You can get a patch to stop this. But make sure you have 2 gigs of ram or more or the system will again become bogged down.
Ejoy your warez but you should support the makers and buy the products you download…specially if used at a profit. Atleast to keep them in business.
http://www.eztv.it/ is very good for TV shows
The best ones are all private ones, often because they tend to specialize around a few categories.
Barring that, aggregators will save you a lot of time. scrapetorrent.com, snarf-it.org, etc. There are dozens of those.

And private torrent sites make a ratio(generally 1.00+) a must, and if you do not, you will be banned. So they almost always have seedboxes and large amounts of seeders, unlike public sites who I have NEVER seen a seedbox or a decent amount of seeders compared to leachers.
Yea just because a site is private doesnt mean you will get good DL speeds, it means that people there MUST share, meaning a MUCH higher number of seeders which generally means faster speeds.
http://www.torrentscan.com - it combines a dozen o so other engines into one hub. BEst one I’ve used.
I know nothing of Bitorrents. Do you need to download software? Is this free? Virus threat?
Did I kill this thread or something? Hook me up with the info, dammit! Please?
uTorrent is a very good BitTorrent client http://www.utorrent.com/
I have never had any malware with a torrent, but like with downloading any file you always need to be careful.
Also, with BitTorrent you first download a small torrent file which contains info for the client where to find the file.
deluge
i miss torrentspy.com that was the best one

It used to be pretty much safe , but now requires some serious caution to keep yourself away from the malware. I do all my warezing on a Linux box and use a sandbox windows machine that I have a ghost image for to test everything before it goes live anywhere else.
Using it for movies, music and TV shows is much safer than for apps as long as you don’t fall for any of the “you need this codec” tricks, but even then there can be some danger with embedded bullshit sometimes.
You’ll need a torrent client like others have suggested and at least some savvy to keep your machine clean. Search for some tutorials of which there many out there.
