For you guys that use'em. What program are you using? I just got a new computer and need to DL some new software. My old computer I used an ancient version of Bit Tornado. I guess I'll ask about FLAC Frontend too since I'll be needing that as well.

I think most people use µtorrent in conjunction with PeerBlock

µtorrent is widely regarded as the best for several reasons.

I usually use Steam for games... but that's not torrenting.
I typically use µtorrent, mostly for the web interface more than anything.

I just copy pasted the first one. Looks like it forgot to wipe its nose . I think it's algebraic for the 'nano' prefix, like nanometer.

I have no idea what etree is, nor what you mean with the FLAC Frontend.

Etree is just a torrent hosting site that posts live shows. Flac frontend is just a decoding program that formats the file so you can burn it to CD

µtorrent and Vuze right here. Vuze for when I need a specific file from a torrent containing many and µtorrent for everything else.

What is Peerblock? Just what is sounds like? Blocks others from downloading from my files?

This,...usually find lots of AUD recordings of jambands on there. Usually you can download a Winamp plugin to play FLAC files.

(FLAC files are a lossless compression format for music files)

I prefer SBDs so I just buy high bitrate MP3s from nugs.net.

There is DB poweramp also, but I've never been successful in getting a torrented version to load on my computer without setting off my anti-virus software.

I go with Demonoid and BitTorrent 7.2

Before any of you ask

AUD = Audience recordings of live shows
SBD = Soundboard recordings of live shows.
