I already made a thread about using my mac, but this is a bit different that the last topic. ok, so i just got my new mac, i like it and all, but ive yet to get down illegally downloading music. Ive heard of using torrents, but I dont know shit about shit when it comes to torrents and how they work, so if somebody could help me out, I will give them a cookie

Google Azureus, download it.

Go to this site:
http://torrents.to/

search away.


Also limewire is legit too.

Limewire is world famous for crippling computers with viruses

personally i download with a torrent program called utorrent
and i download from btjunkie.org
i have found them both to be fast and safe... so far

No one here seems to know about torrents.to has every torrent site ever and you can search any that you want from there, its way legit. As for transmission vs azurues, azurues works for me so i use it, but transmission is way easy though.
