Out of curiosity I'd like to know how many Ozphorian's have moved on from torrents and onto rapidshare, megaupload etc etc
Ok, thanks in advance everyone!
Michael.

these rapidshare threads will never go out of fashion but to answer the question: I am not going to pay to illegally downstuff. so free accounts or torrents are good enough for me.

i use it all the time. compared to waiting for seeds to rise, on new downloads, like tv shows... it takes like 20mins to download a tv show. totally worth it.

I've never looked into it to be honest.
Im all up for faster downloads etc but where do I find files? Are there sites like torrents sites I can go to, search for a show and download? Is this something that you gain access too when you're a member?
Also what is better - Rapidshare or Megaupload? Any actual difference?

Ok, well the quick idiot michael guide to rapidshare is as follows: I live in a share house and we pay like 3.50 each a month (there are three of us) I don't know what the current currency conversion for 5 euros is, but lets say at most it's 10 dollars a month... www.warez-bb.org That is the site that I get the majority of my downloads from. There are many rapidshare/warez sites out there, and if you can't find what you're looking for on warez-bb a simple google search along the lines of fruit bat salad smashing pumpkins rapidshare will get you something. I have ADSL2 and download an album in around 30 seconds. As for TV shows I get them in around 2 minutes. Rapidshare is awesome, my downloads all come down at around 1.3MB a sec the slowest I've had was aroun 800 MB a second. It's incredible. You can 'download' as a free user (as opposed to premium member...paying for the subscription) but it's slower and you're limited to a daily amount of files. At the moment I have a 5 gig download limit per day. I only maxed that once when I downloaded an entire pumpkins concert DVD... But yeah all the links are able to be 'resumed' so say you have a particular fixed download cap you can wait till the next month and download the rest of the show!!!! Ok. Did I forget anything almost oz?

yes,
Torrents = dial up (living in the dark ages) Rs etc = broadband
Also as far as I have read (a lot!) it's harder to track people using rs than it is to track people downloading torrents - many people have been convicted through torrents.
