I was wondering what the best trustworthy torrent is for downloading music. I've heard of isohunt and utorrent although I'm reluctant to install as I don't want viruses and stuff messing up my computer!

What are your thoughts?

    uTorrent is just the "translator" - the program that knows how to open .torrent files. I have been using torrents for the past 7 years more or less and have never had a problem with viruses. Just make sure to download from respectable sites and always read the user comments before downloading. Last but not least, do not "hit and run". Try to seed your torrents until a ratio of at least 1.0.
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

    The software to use to download .torrent files is http://www.utorrent.com .

    If you want to download live audio show's via torrent, sites like http://www.dimeadozen.org , http://www.thetradersden.org , http://www.bt.etree.org & zombtracker.the-zomb.com are pretty sweet. isohunt.com is ok, but not all the time. lots of fake files posted there that go un noticed that don't get deleted plus many of the torrents there use outside tracker's from many various torrent sites.

    Cool thanks. It's really for downloading albums and stuff like that.

    Or How do I get an invitation code?
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols
