    quite a few people use them, although good ones are on sites you have to register on and seed back

    I don't think I would have a problem with seeding back. Just afraid something might happen. Anyone can comment on that??

    torrents are still popular in the US, but i've found that a lot of the popular sites are getting removed through government enforcement.

    There's nothing illegal about using torrents - it's the data that people tend to share that makes them illegal.

    I'm not a big fan of them, would rather use rapidshare sites much faster

    Yeah .. I use torrent a lot to download podcasts..

    It's slower than normal downloads, but it saves the creator of the podcast some bandwidth. So, when I'm not in a hurry to get it, i use torrents.
