The writer of this blog does not condone nor participate in the use of the following technology for the acquisition of known pirated material!!!!!
So we all thought the days of downloading music and other "pirated" software was over when the RIAA decided to sue everyone that had a Napster, Kazaa, Bearshare, and other peer to peer networking client on their computer. Well the lost art of sharing free pirated material is not completely dead yet. Yes torrents aren't new at all. Just the illegal way that people are using them. Torrents or (BitTorrents) is a file sharing technology that allows users to download contiguous files bit by bit from multiple users. This technique is different than the traditional peer to peer file sharing strategies. The old method was for a user to connect directly to another users machine and download the illegal content directly all via the client application. Torrents are different. They add a layer of abstraction to the process. Torrents clients require the user to find a .torrent file. To eliminate the technical jargon from this description, think of a .torrent file as a map that lets a user know what resources are available to download a complete file you are looking for. Users can search for these torrent files on search engines (The Pirate Bay)specifically designed to search out .torrent files. Once the .torrent file is acquired the users loads it into the bittorrent client (ex. utorrent) and let the client do the rest.
Now while I must admit I did follow the crowd with Kazaa, I have not ventured into the Torrent craze..... You have to know that the Federal Government is currently constructing policies to outlaw certain uses of Torrent Technology. I must admit if used in a productive legal manner, Torrents can be quite effective tool. What am I saying....used in an illegal manner Torrents are an effective tool as well.
Use at your own risk
Me and da soapbox have some important bracket research to perform..... I am a Terp but for the life of me I can't figure out how they got a 10 seed.
