Praha06 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Anyone recommend their favourites? I generally have no problem with them and find them the most effective way of downloading large content but just wanted to get an idea of other people's choices. Just to see if I'm missing out on any hidden gems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The Pirate Bay has the largest torrent site users of them all - it just went past 12,000,000. With that amount of users, it's always worth a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praha06 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 What I am looking for is to download exact copies of DVDs so I can create an exact replica on a DVD-R disc, including all the dvd features like subtitles etc, as if it was the original DVD itself.

Professor.Arturo Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If you want the full dvd inc menus and extras, you'll usually find them alongside the movie your looking for, listed as a dvd-r (about 4Gb compared to the 700Mb film) I only use http://thepiratebay.org/ and http://www.demonoid.com/?rel=1208349005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praha06 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Another problem I have just encountered is thus: I converted a couple of AVI files to DVD files (vob etc) and then went to play them but the screen is all grey and grainy, this has happened before - is it cos I am using the wrong sort of blank DVD discs? (I use DVD-R discs). What is the best program to burn actual ISO files (the big 4gb ones) onto disc with and also which format of blank dvds should I be using? Thanks for any help people.

BoJack Horseman Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Don't use torrents, never have. Used to use p2p but my uni didn't let me so I started using filehosting sites. Mainly Rapidshare.com. The speeds are fantastic, you don't have to worry about people being online to get it from, most things you'll get through torrents you can get through that. Granted, I pay a fiver a month for the pleasure. Definitely worth it. Got the season finale of lost today in about 20 minutes, that's with pretty slow internet. It was magic.

Disco Dave Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 What you need to do is forget about torrents altogether. Get yourself onto newsgroups -It basically downloads at as fast as your internet connection allows and your isp cant throttle your speed so there's no restrictions. You'll never look back once you change. I can 100% recommend giganews as a suitable source and newsleecher as your client. You need to pay a small fee each month for the privalage but its totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to pay a small fee each month for the privalage but its totally worth it. That's essentially what I do. If you watch a lot of american shows or a lot films it's totally worth the price. Not to mention music etc. Full speed downloads, no restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm on a capped download limit just now with pretty scary charges for going over so I'm steering clear of torrents for a while but usually I always go for mininova. Once you've been using them a while, you get to recognise the uploaders whose files tend to be good quality and virus free etc...[eztv] for example is really good for tv shows.
