    Can someone explain torrents to me? We missed an episode of a favorite show the other night. A Google search resulted in finding that the episode is available as a torrent. How does this work?

    basically, it's a peer sharing program. download torrent software, then go to a torrent website and click the link of a show you want. Then all the users with the show will automatically upload it to you, and you will do the same for others when you have it.

    KEY sentence. Please upload what you download. We hate the torrent vultures. 'Tis why I cherish my Oink invite. The place is music torrent heaven and the share ratio is not taken lightly.

    I've got a question (which may be stupid) but I hope someone here can help me out. How do you post a youtube video and have it play right there from your post and not link up to the youtube site?

    I'm interested. I'm very consciencious about keeping my ratio up. I'm willing to trade an invite to bitmetv.org (The fastest tv torrent site on the 'net.) and believe me, you really have to be on top of things in order to keep up your ratio at bitmetv. Email me if you can give up an invite:
