torrents

Post by Jrrtt37 »

can anyone give me a review/info on bit torrents?

i've been using Ircspy.com to get files and programs that i need. just the usual stuff. and they have a advertisment for their sister site http://www.torrentspy.com/ and i've downloaded a file and it works, but is it really safe?

any help?

Torrents are less safe then other forums of P2P because it's a piece of cake for the RIAA/MIAA to get your IP...

As far as a virus goes though... As long as the site is legit your not going to get a virus ever.

i rarely download music, but i did notice that i had the IP of everyone that i was associated to at the time of the download, didn't like that, i was using IRCspy.com and going through mIRC and figured that was the safest, for security, IP wise with RIAA and what not.
