Any way, I was wondering. Since this site is full of techies (and maybe some not so techy) what would be your prefered method for downloading.



I ask this because ever since I got my new, constant wi-fi internet connection, I've been a downloading maniach. I prefere bit-torrent so that I can efficiently download while Im at class or work. But hate it when the person with the last seed jumps off-line. 30 gigs of downloads and counting.



You know, I've actually got nothing to say

Well, I use ALL of them. if i need a song for something, I would use KaZaA. If i was getting some kind of software or soemthing, I would use BT. If I want to download pictures or games, I just use IE.

I don't actually use bit torrent anymore, because I don't DL software and movies anymore. I also dont use Kazaa except maybe once a month to get a song I heard off TV.

Like Nickel, I use them all. But you should change it from BitTorrent to just Torrents. Because not everyone used BitTorrent, I use Azureus personally. It is much better then any other torrent program. For an individual song (which I don't do very often) I use Limewire (P2P). For pictures and such I use Firefox. And for most music and movies I Azureus (Torrents). I find Torrents to be the best thing. Because I can download CDs or all the CDs of a band instead of one song. Also the movies are much better qualtiy and download faster. I don't have a problem with seeds, you just have to know where the right places to get the torrent are <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">.

Psh... torrents.

I p2p. Limewire.

I tend to buy all my music nowadays, but if I want some stuff on impulse I'll download it.

I use HTTP/FTP as much as I can, but if theres something I really want I'll use BitTorrent. By the way, BT is not only the name of the program, its the name of the protocol, so the poll is correct (I think). I dont use any other peer to peer programs, I dont really download enough to.

Listen gents. I am the last person to say this but: 30 gigs of downloads is kinda suspicious.

The poll looks legit on the surface, but with that line thrown in its blatantly a poll on questionable material and Snarkpit cannot have a poll like that.

Ben, reword your poll or I fear its removal.

There are plenty of legit downloads that can use each choice but, no one downloads gigs without another priority for doing so.

I support Snarkpits stand on questionable content. They do so for the right reasons.

Again, polls need an "other" choice.

So are you saying it is a trap to get Snarkpit in trouble? Because if that's so I'm in deeeps**t, I have way more then 30 gigs or downloaded material.

I use torrents for probably 90% of everything I download.

Torrents are a great way of getting mod installs and other large files. Last thing I torrented was the Empires mod installer. Well actually it was the 1.01 update for it, but the last big file was the installer.

Orph is right, you're straying into territory we shouldn't stray into.
