Deal with Torrents

What is the deal with torrents?
Is everyone using them??
What about those in the USA?

 

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??

 

I don't use them ...

 

I use torrents but they are considered some sort of illegal.

 

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

 

yea, millions are using them, USA is there big time,
i use them sometimes, but in some cases they are illegal

 

Nothing will happen if you use Private Trackers people who get caught download from sites like ''The Pirate Bay''

 

Alot of people use them, but i dont. I find them very slow.

 

I second that

 

Yea...I use them...I only maintain the minimum ratio so that they dont banned me

 

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

Thanks for the comments everyone..

 

I use them almost exclusivly for downloading content. I live in north america if that helps

 

i dont find them of any use

 

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.
