Great little website called Irishtorrents.com for downloading any Irish TV content you might want. Also Irish movies, music, etc available.
Just after getting first episode of Dragons Den, load of other shows on the way also.
Fantastic little resource.
My kingdom for a sort or search feature.
I don’t understand torrents 
Download something like Bittorrent or Vuze software, and then you can search for individual torrents for pretty much anything. It is pretty slow over here though, things like Rapidshare are probably better or Soulseek for music, but torrents are useful for porn or American TV shows.
I’d be the same as yourself there, can’t get my head around all the software at all.
Jaysus Ben, I thought you would have been proficient with torrents. That site has the Bachelors Walk Christmas special available for download. I’ll eventually sign up for it.
I shall have to get proficent so if only for the BW value.
Just to warn you though, I had a look at it and there is only 1 seed for it.
Seeders come and go, its surprisingly fast still to be honest. COnsidering its IRish content its to be expected to have slow DL speeds so I’d be happy enough to leave it up on Vuze for a few days if it meant getting something I wanted and couldnt get anywhere else.
better off with utorrent, less of a resource hog that vuse. Also using iptorrents.com I can usually download a 700mb file in 30 - 40 mins.
I like mininova myself. I used to use uTorrents but I just kept experiencing problems with it. Vuze works fine for me, so I’ll leave it as it is for now. I use eztv for US TV shows.
I’m a vuze man myself
Usually fairly good
Music is usually very quick. Movies can be 4 hrs or so
Got a phone call from NTL the other day saying that I need to increase my subscription as I’ve exceeded my bandwidth for the month by 4.
How do you use Rapidshare?

The High Court has appointed an examiner to the Golden Discs music retail group.
Sony Music Entertainment Limited had last week secured the appointment of an interim examiner after the High Court was told it was owed €1.38m by Golden Discs. Sony said it was not prepared to continue to supply the outlets without court protection.
Golden Discs operates 20 retail outlets around the country, including six franchised stores.
Its financial advisor had informed Sony that the group was insolvent and had proposed a voluntary scheme of arrangements for creditors.
Today the court heard that the company had a reasonable prospect of survival if certain cost reduction and efficiency programmes were put in place.
The court also heard that the company was in a cash positive situation and could meet its obligations during the examinership process.
Its current situation was due to a downturn in retail music sales with the onset of internet downloading, increased competition and the high cost of rents.
Other creditors in court this morning agreed to the appointment of the examiner.
Never really got into it, a friend usually just sends on music and movies to me.
How does it work. You download a torrent, and then you go into somewhere (Limewire or something is it?) looking for music etc.
Is that the jist?
You download the software first, then the individual torrents.
Rapidshare, Megaupload, Zshare etc are all pretty much the same thing, you enter a verification code and then D/L the file from their site.
Soulseek is excellent as well, great for getting rare music, you can literally directly access people’s music libraries in their computers.
Torrents for movies, RShare for music, Soulseek for hard to find stuff, basically.
I got a rapidshare account. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Where do you get the verification code from?
Also is it more difficult to track sharing on Rapidshare than the likes of Vuze

Don’t know about that but certainly with rapidshare you’re not accused of uploading whereas with torrents you’re peer2peer so you’re sharing with others and I guess technically breaching more rules.
I use demonoid a fair bit. Cracking site.
How do you join up to that torrent leech site?
