I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some good (Mac compatible!) torrents? Fast and reliable and easy-to-use, just like a good stain remover?

Torrents themselves are not OS designated.

Try Transmission if you're looking for a Mac friendly torrent client.

Do you mean a torrent client? Transmission is mac compatible and it's pretty decent. I use Deluge. It's available for mac, but you might need the X server to run it, since most Linux devs can't be bothered to do a real Mac port.

Oh, and torrents aren't really that great for music, like everyone said.

how about buying an actual computer instead of a mac

torrents are probably the best for music for quite a few reasons.

macs are good.

Yeah it's pretty easy to download full discogs if you've got the right hookups.

for getting viruses.
yeah, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to computers. I dont really know what I'm talking about, so sorry that I sound like a total idiot.

Transmission. Fast, non-bloated, reliable.

Also, any decent, private music tracker kicks the **** out of blogsearch.

I've found everything I ever wanted on blogsearch and discover new stuff on blogs that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Skyler
12-10-2008, 05:40 PM
hey, nothing wrong with using both :)

Dimmu Burger
12-10-2008, 05:41 PM
True. I don't really mess with torrents anymore though.

I consider myself above the average when it comes to knowledge of computers, and i have good understanding of how search engines work

with that said, i can only find stuff i'm looking for with blogsearch maybe 10% of the time. on top of that, probably around 50% of that stuff is poor quality.

whereas what.cd and waffles i can find 90% of the stuff i'm looking for, and usually have multiple choices as far as the quality i'd like

well both blogsearch and torrents fail me at times so they are good at being complementary to one another

blogsearch sucks yeah. I'd use torrents above that. I use slsk to download music.

Yeah blogsearch sucks, because you have to have WinRaR which costs money I don't have.

are you kidding me? You don't have to buy winRAR, you just use the trial version forever!

Skyler
12-13-2008, 02:16 PM
or use one of the many other extractors out there that don't require you to pay

RiceMonster
12-13-2008, 02:21 PM
No, those are illegal. You have to pay for WinRaR or you'll get a super bad virus!
