A lot of stuff is available through them that isn't through rapidshare or what have you, and it also makes it easier to download whole discogs (not to mention programs, games, movies etc.)

yeah, i've gotten whole discographies from Butthole Surfers, Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Porcupine Tree through them.


i don't think i can use them as much anymore cause since i got my security upgraded, it always says there's a trojan or malware or something

I'm gonna go with Pobody and Comus on this one. Mininova is win for a lot of things. I don't often find myself resorting to other choices when searching on Mininova.

Oh, and Stonebirds...
Download a large file straight up, then find that same file as a torrent and download it via a torrent client, then get back to us.

His computer probably realized it was downloading Slipknot and killed itself in shame. Limewire is much buggier and much easier to download viruses from than torrents if you use common sense in choosing them.

maybe, but sometimes you gotta use shady torrents if you've got no other options
