    Supposedly, Demonoid will be back up - they're just experiencing major technical difficulties.

    With them down, and with The Pirate Bay down for good, where are you going for your torrents?
    (and if they're private, could you send me an invite: droxford-t at att.net ?)

    Depends... for TV Shows... EZTV usually beats out Demonoid (at least for me, I experience faster downloads) so EZTV.it is where I go usually... For most of everything else i just use either mininova.org or isohunt.com

    I think there's too much risk in downloading torrents. I stick to streaming links.

    I mostly just use mininova and superfundo. Haven't run into any problems with them.

    I'm just trying my best to hold out until Demonoid returns. I'm just downloading music right now.

    Pretty much the same. EZTV offers quality TV rips.

    Make sure you run peer guardian if you're doing torrents.

    I've always depended on mininova. Have a demonoid account but it's not as user-friendly. But the amount of stuff they have on the site is amazing.

    Never used torrents in months. Usenet + Megaupload links are what I only require. Nothing better than downloading dozens of gigs at near max speed with no seeding required afterwards. :)

    thanks.

    I figured eztv.com couldn't be it. Looked like one of those paying sites...

    hmm, I'm not familiar with usenet. Is that like the usenet.org site?

    not many people are... rule one of usenet... dont talk about usenet. what it is is it works like bittorrent, but instead of downloading a file from a bunch of peers, you are getting it from a dedicated server. the advantage of this is that you get speeds waaaay more than bittorent (i average around 2000kbps). However, to get these speeds you need to pay a monthly fee to a usenet provider... around 10 dollars a month. Another advantage of usenet however is that you have the option of using ssl, which encrypts your data so you are safe from bittorent crackdowns which have been going on lately. But honestly, once you use usenet, you will never go back to torrenting again.
