[allofmp3.com](http://allofmp3.com) is good too, they have FLAC which is the best format anyways. it gets a bit expensive getting Flac files, but ive found a nice NG that has them. lol its funny how mp3 isnt even the best format out there anymore. ---

> [@blacke36](#): > > dude you have to be kidding me… torrents are worthless… > > newsgroups, and irc are way better… or if you get into the in crowd… you can find much better Torrents download quicker than anything I’ve ever used. I used to use IRC alot back in the day. That’s where I got all of my DivX’s from when those were the hottest thing burning up the market. It’s a good thing but there is better. Plus, it’s not the “in” thing to do anymore. 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-to-use-to-dl-music/3760.md?page=1)
