    Anyone use torrents here? What bittorrent client do you use if so? And where do you look for torrents?

    I use bitlord generally, and either http://www.torrentz.com or http://www.thepiratebay.org

    For those that don't know what it is, it's basically a program/facility that allows a user to share something on his pc, and then when more people have it, they can all share it for more people to download!

    Umm it's a weird sign type thing, I think it's called beta torrents. Yeah it's good though, sorta like bitcomet but made my speed a lot faster. I use torrentspy and some private game sites too. They come out with the new games really fast =D

    Torrents seem SOOOO slow. It took me forever to dowload stuff with them. Maybe I wasn't doin it right? Idk, I use bearshare for everything.

    If you are behind a router it is really slow until you port forward.

    Torrents are the best p2p service around at the moment. They are fast if you know what your doing and torrent files can be spread easy since they are so small.

    uTorrent ftw :D

    BitComet and Some script loaded into FF that searches like 20 torrent sites and displays them in the best order or something :)

    I cant explain "what it is" but ill explain how to use.

    Download a Torrent PROGRAM (Bitcomer) there all free.

    Search torrent sites (Listen on page 1) for Charmed episodes (Include season/episode if you want)

    Click the torrent. It'll say "open with - Find Bitcomet and open with bitcomet" then it'll download the torrent and you can then watch the video :D

    Yes it can help. Follow the above instructions. To get them to your Ipod just conver them to whatever format. and send them as normal videos.
