So I've been using them more than just often lately. When it comes to downloading recent things like movies, music, and games, I'll usually get from newsgroups since it's fast and I don't have to share but torrents have proven to be VERY useful for finding GOOD porn, heheh. Sharing large files like 5GB DVD-R movies sucks because I can only upload at a max of 48k/s but I upload to at least a 1.0 ratio, I'd like my video card fan to last more than a year so I like to shut off my computer at night when I can; when sharing I just leave it on.
