Peerblock is actually quite useless as I doubt any major organization would be dumb enough to be on a public blacklist

Who uses crap like limewire anymore?
I prefer my downloads virus free.
Torrent sites are all I use, and I only download torrents from reputable uploaders or things with lots of positive feedback.

It seems people are saying utorrent, but that's just a tracker program not a site, the best would of course be a torrent site that shouldn't be named because it's against the rules, it usually has most everything and is the best way to find complete discographies, rare ep's and such [I mainly use it because I'm OCD when it comes to music and must know every song a band has done, and most torrent collections have every cd they released, and gives me more information than google]. If your worried about someone hiding a virus just look for an upper with a skull and crossbones by their username, the amount of seeders [if it has over 100 and it's been around for a while then it should be clean], or just look at the comments if alot of people says it has a virus stay away and look for an alternative.
If you don't like torrents then use the site torrific it's free and downloads the torrents for you and then you download it like any download [good for torrents with only a small amount of seeders]

i would use limewire only for music, and not for full albums, for individual songs, i wouldnt want to go through 5 different torrents just to get 5 different songs, so limewire can be useful for that

true, but at least with a torrent your guarantied to get a good quality [that is if the upper released it as flac or at 320kb/s] and most aren't packed as .rar so you can just select the one songXale said:
Not necessarily, on the torrent site I use, they have a bonus point system which gives you 1gb - 5gb of upload credit if you get bonus points. (so it acts as if you uploaded 5GB when you didn't).Nathan Drake said:smash_brew said:
A private torrent site is only good if you plan to/are able to seed pretty much consistently. If all you do is leech, private torrent sites will kick you quick. Problem is though, not everybody can seed actively, otherwise their ISP gets suspicious. It's why knowing how to use TPB can come in handy.
Usenet costs money. The idea of pirating is not paying money.

Good point about the bonus system. I belong to a couple sites that do offer up bonus points as well. although i pretty much seed non stop anyway. I haven't turned off my computer in months. the only time i ever get anything from my isp is when i hit and run from tpb so really it's not that great of an option to keep your isp off your back.

I would much rather pay 10$ a month then having to deal with the crap with torrents. For instance, you can get stuff that was posted to usenet over 2 years ago without having to worry about weather it's still being seeded or not - it's just there. Also, newsgroups are inherently more secure since it's a connection to one server over an encrypted connection instead of a connection to god knows who that everybody in the world can get access to (and if you are naive enough to think that private trackers protect you in this regard, I have a bridge to sell you...). Much less suspicious from an ISP standpoint to being making a few connections to one server then dozens of upload and download connections to countless people. I could go on for a while, but I'm not really in rant mode, so I'll end it here....
Still more secure, since all the MPAA/RIAA/anybody else needs to do to prove you got something is watch the file. On the other hand, it's pretty much impossible to prove you got something from a secure newsgroup without a)spying directly on somebodies computer b) going on a random fishing expedition and hoping to get some info c) asking for all logs en masse or d) the newsgroup provider turning you in
d) is never going to happen for downloads - they know what they're selling. For this reason, most providers only log logins, posts, amount downloaded, etc. b) or c) would be thrown out of court, and even if they did succeed, wouldn't help much as noted above unless you actually posted something.
Nobody ever gets in trouble for simple downloading, just distribution.

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs -

I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
