use either demonoid or easynews newsgroups....demonoid for searching for stuff quickly, and newsgroups to just browse and see what's available to download. use uTorrent for Demonoid, and Agent Newsgroup reader for newsgroups.

Nope, it is fine, but it just says connecting, 1 bar. I install the update but it seems it is not working into the old software maybe?

Youtube sound quality is ****, idk why you'd waste your time with that. I usually download torrents for music with 320 kbps+ or FLAC.

Zane,

For your "torrent" downloading programs. Try Azureus or Opera. Not the operating system Opera but I think that's the name for the torrent downloader that I have not used in years. If you can make it up to the store any time at night time, I can burn Sharaza (free version) to a cd for you.

^ I'm with stupid. using the utube converter to pull music from the videos makes it even worse.

I use torrents and they work bad ***.

Don't know is someone mentioned it yet, but if your ISP no longer allows peer to peer networking it will not connect. I love Limewire and used to use it all the time until I found one day it quit connecting. That was after I moved and had a different ISP than before.
