Stop stealing software!!! First off, what client are you using? I recommend BitLord 1.1 (not the Beta 2) Next check to see if you can change the ports on your client. Go from there… ---

utorrent is the best. No BS ads or spyware. Very simple user interface. 2 thumbs up. ---

I’ve been an Azureus user, I’ll have to give utorrent a try. Slightly OT: Anyone have invites to a good private tracker site? I haven’t found a good one since EliteTorrents went down a few years ago. ---

I recently bought an invite to Demonoid for $10. Worth every cent. Do searches. The guy I bought mine from was a search result which ended up being a posting on CraigsList. Demonoid claims you should immediately turn the person in, and they’ll give you a new invite code (so you don’t lose out at all), but why get the guy banned? I got what I wanted at a price I accepted. ---

I heard that Demonoid was good. I haven’t heard of Oink. If you guys get an invite, shoot me a PM. Thanks!
