decent newsgroup is subscription based
direct download is litered with ads with wait times and slow speed

torrent is still the best free download...only PITA is leaving your computer on to seed and worrying about ratios

Ad block. Also how do you stream torrents?

Suprnova was so sick back in the day but since then I've been on Private Torrent Sites only. The odd time Piratebay really helped out for some of those random odd downloads that were harder to find. Never used isohunt though.

I was referring to regular files, not media files.

But with torrents the file is broken up into many pieces and the pieces are not downloaded in order. So you might get the end of the file first. Unless something has changed.

Isohunt closed early. R.I.P

Why don't you just go and check instead of posting here?......

The only public site I use is eztv only because the layout is so simple and works really well.

yeah I just gave it a try and it's not very smooth. Oh well if you're on a private tracker you can dl 720p mkvs in minutes

sadly isohunt was basically the only one I used.

at most I dl maybe a movie once or twice a month, a tv show I missed here and there, but not enough to really care to much about the site I used.

anyways, isohunt is gone. ive been looking at some sites, "torrentz.eu" "mininova.org" and a few others that were suggested to me. most of them ask for a credit card to sign up...which makes me stay away from them...so, for someone like me, a person who rarely downloads movies/tv/big item files, what would be a decent site to use that's VERY user friendly?

...what appears to be a cloned version of the site (available at isohunt.to and isohunt.ee) has emerged. Whois information on both domains turns up no contact information. However, online records show that the new site is hosted in Australia.
:cool:
