I can make a torrent guide but give it a week. Haven't got time to put anything together right now

That would be excellent Sleepless as I am totally clueless with torrents...
I have just installed the Beta, so I'm ready to experiment....Cheers...
Thanks Hobo for checking the Bitzi thing out....

I haven't been able to get the any torrent files to work either. I've read some of the threads in the other forum but that just goes over my head.

A guide would be very helpful, especially if it could be done before the official release comes out.

I've tried quite a few using google to find them, but haven't had any luck yet. I think it's a matter of finding the right site. I know they're out there. I just have to find them .

isohunt.com is a good torrent site. I get all of my torrents there. But scan with you AV before using the torrent. Some torrents might have malware. But isohunt usually has what I need or want.

I dl'ed a torrent today (around 39,000kb) and scanned it Norton INS 2007. The scan didn't find anything, but after dl'ing thru LW, Norton blocked an adware - Zangosearch something. So I would suggest to scan before dl'ing and after dl'ing. I also dl'ed another file and it was successful. But before I could open the .rar file, I had to follow a link (provided in a text doc.) to obtain the password to open the .rar. file. So being curious I did, but it led to a pay site. I quickly delete everything and moved on. I hope some of our more advanced users can give us tips on how to safetly use this service.

STICKY, STICKY, STICKY, Where are you?????

Usually programs have malware. I would download them. If they work they usually don't work.

uharc

Try the internet

and it's coming, but no way I teach anyone to crack passwords here

Oh and BTW unless this is porn the result is more often than not less than perfect. These are porn paysites that try to get more costumers. Have run into a few of those and after cra*cking the pass, have got bad quality

so like OAH said just delete
