RE: [OT] bit torrent

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd second Azureus too - sometimes get odd screen redraw problems but that
may be down to my graphics drivers??? Other than that a good bit of
software.

Some good BT links you may want to explore:

http://www.orbdesign.net/bt/
http://www.torrentspy.com/
http://www.newtorrents.info/
http://torrent.youceff.com/
http://www.torrentreactor.net/index.php

Of course, you do need to make sure anything you download is legal first ;)
