anybody use these type of sites to watch films? i only found out about it through the news...

Admitting to such things on a public forum would be silly.

you can always send pm......

I thought these places were to download illegal copies of films and music? If you wanted to watch films there's Netflix etc

Downloading data from the public domain is not illegal.

thanks chaps! netflix isnt available here, yet.. i heard about pirate bay on the news & wondered what it was all about...being computer illiterate i will have a bash & see what happens... if the world ends or internet is broken its probably my fault

Somebody told me that you would need to download a program called vuze - it works a bit like the old limewire program (whatever that was) but without the libraries of music/films etc. You get these off a torrent site and vuze opens automatically as you pick the torrents. At least that's what I'm told.

Apparently the torrent site is just a web page that you can put into your bookmarks/favorites.

Btjunkie was very popular, but has recently shut down according to the BBC. I heard somewhere that there are similar sites with names like btscene and btguard or something like that.

Mind you, I don't condone that sort of thing. Nope.

Have to go. There's a very loud knocking at the door..........

Any Torrent application will work with a torrent site. BitTorrent is the origional and the one i stick with as it is not ad supported, it's multi platform too so it looks the same on my Windows box and on Linux.
