doesnt work quite like that..
download peerblock, install and run
download vuze/utorrent, install and run
visit www.btjunkie.org and search for whatever youre after, click the download torrent link
obviously don't use this method to download anything copyrighted

If you do torrents, I have invitations for a couple of private torrent sites I could send you ?

Newsgroups without a doubt (but you need to know what your doing)
edit: google searching for "nzb" is a good start point

http://torrents.to/
Searches the best sites all with one search, or so I am told! Apparently you just put in the title you want and press search so must be very easy, if
you do that sort of thing!

Not sure how "green" you are on the net, but just to balance what has been said... a number of media companies are now actively chasing
ISP's to be given the IP addresses and then the name/address of people who are downloading stuff illegally.
The biggest culprit is torrents, as they are easy to trace/"prove" what your downloading.
Technically they do you for uploading not downloading, but as soon as you download a torrent it is shared onwards, and so you are in effect uploading,
knowingly or not.
I wont use torrents any more, for fear of getting a stupid, "give us £300 for downloading some crappy album, or we will take you to
court".
Call be paranoid, but it isn't worth the potential hassel - plus there are other ways...

All I can say is, Good Luck if you want to risk as many viruses as you can shake a stick at! I don't trust any of those things I'm
afraid. And as already said, who is watching you too??
Paranoid? Maybe, but just because you are doesn't mean they are not after you.......
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Ah but they can't "prove" it was YOU who downloaded said torrent. Wireless networks are easy to hack and use without the average
person knowing. Plus these solicitors that send out letters never take anyone to court because it's not worth it. Too many people pay without
question.
ACS:Law are the main letter senders, whether people have downloaded/uploaded the album or not.
I had a letter from them, googles it, found a letter of denial, sent it off. Got one back offering less money, sent another similar denial, then just
ignored as advised. Never heard anything back, as with everyone that sends of denial letters.

1. Like it or not it's highly likely to be a criminal offence.
2. You are advertising you intent to partake in said activity on public forum
3. If it's a vey recent film the quality is likely to be absolute dog sh1t anyway.
4. The risk of exposure to viruses is very high.
Why would anyone bother?? I just don't get it??

He didn't say he wanted copyrighted material.. there's a wealth of independent content available via torrent which is completely legal to
download.
Quality of video/audio is accessible before you download anything.. avoid "CAM"s and "TS"s unless you absolutely must see the
film in all its grainy glory. "SCREENERS" or "R5"s are of highly variable quality (often pre-postproduction) but the uploader
will often give details in the info section. "DVDRIP" or "BDRIP" are your highest quality but slowest to release.. you can
usually get hold of these a month or so before their UK release date.
Risk of exposure to viruses is actually fairly low compared to the old p2p networks. Torrents are heavily peer reviewed on sites like btjunkie, always
download files with large numbers of seeders and always check the "good/bad torrent" ratings and the comments listed.
Personally, of course, I don't do anything illegal but playing devils advocate - cinema tickets and dvds are the best part of £10 each, theres
an incentive!

Ensure If you use torrents you use the encrypted method of downloading (option in azureus etc )
Most uk ISP's have been asked for who is downloading illegal films n music. Resulting in over 800,000 letters being sent that's over 1% of
the uk public but more scary over 5% of illegal downloaders.
Use torrent or news groups but only download encrypted torrents n stop the risk of a fine or court case.

encrypting torrents wont actually help avoid the letter, all it does is conceal torrent traffic from packet sniffers/your isp. Targets for the letters
are largely identified by introducing "poison seeds/leechers" which host or try to download the file being tracked and then log your IP
when they connect to your pc.
download peerblock and keep it updated, this acts to prevent your computer connecting to these dodgy hosts based on a fairly well maintained database
of poison IPs

There are various sites like http://stagevu.com that stream tv programs.
As said people have been done for uploading but here you're just downloading....
