Bit Torrents

[Wah!wah!]

I've just recently discovered torrent sites, after downloading Matrix reloaded from suprnova.org (which is now down). Alot of the other sites I have tried either time out when BT download starts or the site itself cannot be displayed.

Is this a common problem? & can anyone recommend good torrent sites for movies, games etc.

Well their has been quite a few topics about this and a lot of the bittronnet websites have gone down because of a certain pirated file.

Are all websites I use which are all down right now I haven't had bitronnet for too long and that's why the list is so small .

I take it by this you mean the the matrix reloaded, apparently there's been a few articles about the matrix producers flexing their corprate muscle & getting these sites shut down. Typical! I just discover Torrent sites and the bastards shut them down.

Dark days ahead for file sharing?

the problem is, most of the movie torrents (not sure about the other torrents, i didn't check) on Ground Zero a.k.a. hotfire are from torrentse.cx. so the torrent files don't actually do anything.

I didn&#39;t know that. I am getting Bruce Almighty just now. I started it from the UK site I posted first and it is still working. I have 19 peers and 16 seeds just now, so it should be ok for the full download.

I don&#39;t get great speeds because my upload is capped at 128k

Your upload does not matter, but someone else upload does&#33; if you can up at say 1mbit and the other dude is only 128k don&#39;t expect to get faster then 12-13k/sec thought. but the other dude would be getting 100k/sec while you going slow turtle hehe. its like a 69 sort of thing, you know. you rub my back, i rub your back LMAO&#33;&#33;&#33;
