out of curiosity are you getting the full 24Mbps when downloading torrents? Also, what about the illegal factor?

  Torrents are typically the fastest things on the web because you're pulling from so many sources; in effect, a peer to peer CDN cluster :) Also, there are plenty of fly-by-night sites that have full episodes of most shows that people care about. I won't link to any here, but just Google "watch full episode" and you'll see what I mean. >"Also, what about the illegal factor?" As long as gullible sheep continue to finance shows by paying to watch ads on cable, I'll continue to not waste my life watching ads or waiting for them to play what I want to watch. To hell with imaginary property.

    To hell with imaginary property. Then i suppose you also give your work away and your house doesnt have windows or doors, and your life is not really yours alone (all property is imaginary, it's just a convention).

      What else would ownership be but a convention? We’re just monkeys in shoes. Our arbitrary territorial and food rituals are certainly complex, but that makes them no less arbitrary. And a lock, as they say, only stops an honest man—one who plays by convention.

  > out of curiosity are you getting the full 24Mbps when downloading torrents? Yes, I use a private torrent site that I've been a member of for more than 5 years. Speed is never an issue. > Also, what about the illegal factor? As I said, I use a private torrent site. The risk is minimal when most anti-piracy organizations will be focusing on low-hanging fruit like public torrents and file hosting services (such as Rapidshare and the now-defunct Megaupload).
