I'm glad torrents have come so far. Less than three years ago, all the cool kids were using Limewire, which is, by a genius' definition, a program so buggy that it will forever be in beta testing, with your expensive computers as the guinea pigs. Nevertheless, many still use Limewire, but for the most part, people don't cringe with misunderstanding when you use the term torrent.

I typically torrent only movies and shows that I can't find on Hulu. For such cases, I use what I have been using since the beginning, which is torrentz.com. For software, though, I use Scrapetorrent, simply because it isn't listed in Torrentz' search cue.

You're not being very specific on what you mean, so I'm going to assume you are talking about Limewire and how it brutally kicks your computer in the nads:

Quite simply, it's not just that. Limewire installs little "ghost files" on your computer so it can index it and give files to other people. But because this program is so poorly constructed, many times it will cause other applications to fail, or even itself. For example, I used Limewire for two months,  after which I immediately downloaded Transmission and never touched the bloody item again. Immediately after the said use, my bluetooth failed to operate.

After searching various help sites, I discovered that I was not alone. Many like me faced the same problems, some of which were worse. One lad, who may have been using Limewire longer than I had (or had simply been very unlucky) had his harddrive fried due to the application. But moving along, I swiftly removed the application and, due to other failures in the system after it had been deleted (whether or not it was because of Limewire is unknown, although it is the likely suspect), I decided to install a clean version of my OS, wiping the harddrive clean.

To this day, bluetooth works like a charm, and so do my torrents.

Yea, I meant Limewire XD
hooray for simple file-share systems that only affect the file being transmitted! :D
