(poll eventually)

So, what site(s) do you use for your torrent downloads? I did use PirateBay, until that was raided, and now use bushtorrent. I like bushtorrent, since i seem to get higher speeds that PB. I'd like to look for other sites for more hard-to-find torrents

What do you guys think of torrentz.com? it searches most of the sites at once.

(look, i know the poll is horrible, but i figured it needed it.)

I can't even figure out how to use the damn things so I don't use any sites.

Meh...I don't like torrent. Takes waaaaay to slow; generally I stick to direct DLs if I can help it.

Aye, me to. Great site imo. I've got it on my toolbar in Firefox.

Oh, I use several, none of which I'll mention due to prudence.

Yeah, I'm not going to promote my preferred torrent site, either. There's less chance of them getting raided that way.

This Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_torrent) article should explain.

I was thinking more of several of them being porn-only, and also about the mods finding their mere mention objectionable.
