Where's the downloading addicts on RIU?!

Hey guy I made a poll for you guys to discuss!

I myself download everything and anything. (Even things I don't need or plan on looking at.)

I voted 10TB to 19.9TB! I'm currently on my 15th One TB hard drive! And that's no joke!

As soon as I get a HDTV, maybe a laser one. Imma start downloading those BluRay Rips!

If I keep this I'll be at 12PB before I die! Mu ha ha ha HAA!

that sounds like a waste of comp space. i download everything that is of use to me off of

www.warez-bb.org

or i use azureus for my mac.

I only download Movies and TV shows that I like .
And delete them if I dont like them.
I dl all the music I can, even if I don't like it.

But drug documentaries are my favorite.
I got to have every one I can find.

I'd avoid Azereus.
torrents are better i believe.

azureus is just a search engine. the downloads come from torrent sites

oh. my bad.
I thought it was like limewire.

it is kind of. it is an application that is a one click download. it searches all the the torrents on the internet. so i could see why you'd suggest not using it.

limewire has really messed up my PC in the past. now i have a mac

I suggest utorrent it just the best of all torrent softwares! It lightweight under 1MB and alot less RAM hungry as others! Trust me! You won't go back to your other torrent software!

Any of you guys have any type of protection? Like PeerGuardian2 typed IP blockers? I used to have 3 IP blockers and 2 firewalls running at the same time while also using a router firewall! Until I tried messing with overclocking then fried my whole system up! I was high. Now I don't anything complex or learning to do something when I'm high anymore. Now I'm using my OLD laptop with XP :[

Man I can't who voted!

I been downloading the blu ray rips from demonoid lately im waiting for the 500 gb ps3 hard drive to come in the mail anyday now.They just always take so long to download from there though.Can someone recomend me a good torrent downloader for mac I think I got 10.4.11 I had transmission that worked great then it started to freeze,I tried vuze and that sucks it takes like 20 minutes to even start the download.They dont make utorrent for mac do they?

utorrent with ports open
peerblock (the newest version of peerguardian).

Do you have to use a special dvd to burn blu rays? I've downloaded several off of demonoid but haven't burnt them yet...

You'll probably have to see what file extension they are then check out the kind of dvd's you plan on burning to and see if they will support it.If the dvd's have enough space to fit a blu ray on it you should be good though.

thanks, ......

another question. How do you burn .rar files ? i've seen people burn dvd's with 5 movies on it. I've tried to use nero to burn .rar and it doesn't seem to work

(sorry for kinda thread jacking)

.rar is like a zip.
you need winrar

I have it.

But i don't understand how my buddy had a dvd with .rar on it. he had 5 different movies on it. That means he never unzipped it, right?

most likely but check it out more first you dont want to waste all that time burning it and not have it work.Once its burned and in the dvd player you should just be able to click through each file with the dvd remote.But it might be different with blu rays this is why I love my ps3 dont have to go through none of this burning shit.

I don't burn discs.
I have a newer TV that has a RGB hookup.
Bought a 50 foot cable from ebay.
Dual monitor video card.
No need to burn discs.
Unless I'm doing someone a favor.
