cannot link you to any of the websites offering bit torrent downloads though, against forum rules

You may have seen the kazaa lite thread, there’s lots of links to stuff there.

I've also downloaded all my OS updates, a few programs to make life easier, demos and mods from Blueyonder and 3dgamers.

If you like games download Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory which is a completely free game using the Q3 engine, plays like DOD

If you've got half-life download...

Natural Selection
Counter-Strike
Day of defeat
The Specialists
Sven Co-Op

If you've got BF1942 download...

Desert Combat
Eve of Destruction

If you're willing to face execution by the RIAA or a stern look by INFACT (cue Bertie impression) you could download music and movies from kazaalite.

And last but not least there’s the pr0n, lots and lots of filthy evil pr0n :ninja:

In DC some rooms allow access depending on how much you're sharing.

I share in the region of 12gigs worth of files.

On direct connect you have to share items before you can get anything.
Generally speaiking you may have to start a 5GB's worth before anyone will allow you to connect to a room.

Best thing to do is buy yourself a big cheap pack of a 100 black CDR's and a nice big CD wallet and do a lovely big backup session :-)

Better then deleteing that 100GB's :-P

I do it ever so often, you can buy nice big cheap CD wallets from http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/

Either that or buy yourself a nice new harddrive..

---
Downloading wise kazaalite is a good start maybe download some Linux ISO's or something?

Problem with that is you never get what you asked for cause some people find it fun to waste bandwidth by changing the names of files

If you're on a capped service I wouldn't touch Kazaa for movie files, 9 times outta 10 it's not what you wanted. Use reliable sites/services like Sharereactor.com.

Slight exaggeration

Even at full speed, it'll take you a couple of hours

If you have no cap you have to get emule.

Depending on what you are looking for irc is a nice source too.
