That's a cool link...didn't realize it existed. It even had a movie about my in-laws "Attack of the Giant Leeches"

Studios need to release more of their movies that no longer bring them millions of dollars...there are a lot of good old movies that deserve to be seen and not locked up in a vault!

You have to be real careful as alot of the common sites have been co-opted by media interests and are now used for info gathering. One that still has not but has been under recent assault is P1rateB4y; not sure about suprn0v4.
Needless to say, always use encryption and a non-standard port to avoid throttling and evesdropping, and peer-to-peer is best if your client supports it. Come join us on port 60940 if you like. I used to use BitTyrant, but it's not getting updated, so Azureus is probably best.

Thanks, LD! First I've heard of that one, too. BTW, more public domain stuff is at www.archive.org .
For a client, I use utorrent --> http://www.utorrent.com/download.php in wine because it's crazy lightweight.

Self-deleted. I didn't realize discussion of torrenting was against the forums' rules. My post had mostly been a consideration of both sides of the coin, along with some what I thought to be constructive ideas for solutions that would satisfy all parties. But as my post also did contain a question about the usefulness of Virtual Private Networks, in the service of files-sharing, I though best to remove the post entirely.
I could find no way to delete the post completely, so this placeholder message remains here. But please consider I made an effort to comply with forum rules after another here informed me of this aspect of them. And if a moderator finds this post, please delete it if you wish.

I'm not sure if it falls under the "this is a taboo subject" title. You seem to have given both sides of the subject. And, it is more of an opinion than a how-to on getting copywrited material via torrent. A forum moderator might feel different, and delete it AND ban you. Moderators seem to rarely visit the Linux section of the AVS Forums, but you never know...
