Default Bit Torrents - 01-02-2005, 04:38 PM

I was on pbnation.com and they were talking about bit torrents, Ive seen it pop up on here once in a while...this is pretty noobish, but what exactly is a bit torrent, how does it work, and is it warez? because it sure as hell looks like it...just safer, kind of like warez with a condom.


EDIT #2: Actually I dont, can someone explain it? and how to use it?

I personally use it but I really don't like it. You end up sharing like 500gb for every 20mb you get because no one ever shares on it. It also takes up a fare bit of cpu power. I personally feel its not going to last much longer. go to http://www.hi2u.com and find whatever you want, then download the file and open it useing a bit torrent client (their are tons around, google it. then you can just leave the computer for a few months and hope its done by the time you have your first child.
