What does post count have to do with it? I just don't like torrents, and I was looking for some better links. Sorry that I'm new.

All i'm saying is it's not a good idea to ask for stuff with your first post and that it's better to wait until you've been around for a bit and helped other people yourself.
Not getting at you or your newness , just telling you how things are around here.

Find a better tracker like Isohunt and get a good client like utorrent. utorrent, like other great torrent clients, allows you to pick the files you want to download in a bulk torrent so you can download each album individually off of the massive seeded torrent. I downloaded a clash album in like 10 minutes off of Isohunt because it was seeded well. utorrent is better then every client because it offers you great features and doesn't rape your computer of RAM. Azureus is really good and probably has the most features, but you pretty much can't do **** on your comp while downloading.

And if you can't understand torrenting then you have a problem. It isn't complicated at all. You have seeders, people that only upload, and leaches who download off of seeders and other leaches. It isn't complicated at all. The most annoying thing about torrenting is when you join a community over the internet and they want the title of your torrent to have like 500 bajillion specifications. That is probably why I don't upload as much as I should. If somebody told me what all the **** ment then maybe I would do it, but I don't feel like asking on a forum and getting 500 answers. I would rather an expert, who has the time, tell me.

I try not to torrent to often... What a lot of people don't realize is that with most bittorrent clients, your seeding while your downloading. This puts you at a high risk for getting your IP targeted by the RIAA or their cronies.

I say too fucking bad. Learn to deal with them. Uploading is usually a bitch, most people don't have a massive upload speed so uploading albums takes a while and occupies a lot of your bandwidth. This is why people should only bother others when they've exhausted all other options. Saying you "dislike" torrents is like saying you don't like going to the videostore down the street so if someone would mind mailing you some films. It's fucking obnoxious...

That is where I found the Ghostship EP though. Only place I could find it.
Most of the time I use Soulseek to either find leaks or other not very popular releases. I only use torrents with super popular releases because they have a gazillion seeds and will download in 5 minutes. Soulseek usually isn't that bad, most people have it running all the time, and there's plenty of users, if one goes off line, you download the rest from another. There's literally nothing you can't find there...unlike on torrents, so if you haven't got a choice, waiting in line isn't all that bad.

It's why as soon as you finish downloading you take it out of your designated torrent folder so it isn't seeding. It's also why you avoid downloading from RIAA affiliated labels, most of which are crap anyway.

That's also a very crappy thing to do.

I do that with popular stuff, but i feel guilty doing that with only a few seeds.
