Rodger 527 Posted June 13, 2009 Thanks for the advice Mike , so torrents is file sharing & obviously mostly copyrighted stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted June 13, 2009 while there is plenty of copywrite stuff on torrent sites,MANY legitimate sites also use Torrents to distribute content. DLTV is one that springs to mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted June 13, 2009 Roger that, Rodger. . I'll take your advice Mike . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberChuck 4 Posted June 14, 2009 I have downloaded files utilizing torrents dozens of times over the last few years. It is a very quick way to download. Just be sure to have an antivirus program running during the download. I also copy the downloaded file to a flash drive and open it there and scan it with my antivirus prior to installing on my computer. I know it sounds like overkill, but I've had virii on my computer in the past, so I'm very cautious. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMan 0 Posted June 14, 2009 I admit that I made a blanket stament about torrents, but I thinking of sites that illegally distribute materials. A lot of times you'll get more than you bargained for with your download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted June 14, 2009 With my lack of computer savvy , I'll leave them alone . Tempting though . Thanks for the advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberChuck 4 Posted June 14, 2009 Mike, I was referring to the same "questionable" sites that you are. They typically have the greatest selection of software / music / movies (yes, I have close to 100 GB of these types of files). You just have to be careful to check for malicious content before you open them. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted June 14, 2009 IF I knew how to protect my computer as much as possible from a virus , I would not hesitate . I should take a class to learn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted June 14, 2009 IF I knew how to protect my computer as much as possible from a virus , I would not hesitate . I should take a class to learn It's easy......Use great anti-virus, keep it updated, run it often even when auto protect is on and get you a good spyware remover such as www.malwarebytes.org.Now for the link you posted, it's a scam. You notice how it says external server? They are just wanting to you join, pay your $$$$ and then there's no files. Torrent site are an excellent source for files if you use them properly and they should be free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
