I'm thinking of downloading torrents, what should I do?
1) Don't post about it on the forums of a large UK internet provider.
2) GOTO 1
Having said that, I've downloaded numerous torrent over the years, the vast majority of which are the various Unix distro's that are ever evolving. I have 2 old laptops that I often experiment with.
I don't use a proxy or VPN because It's a legal download.
Bittorent, Utorrent, seem to be popular.
