How is your BitTorrent Set up, and how do you use it?

[RyanTaylor]

This is basically what the title says... How is your BitTorrent set up, and how do you use it.

For Example I am using a version of Transmission I modified, which has no dock icon and is accessed using the web interface through Dashboard, and via my iPod Touch!

We do, we're just not as psychotic about it.

I just use Utorrent, it fits my needs.

So does that iPhone Torrent track your progress on your desktop, then? That's awesome. If there's a way to bundle that and pass it along, I'd love a chance to try it.

I use Transmission. And while I can't say I've never downloaded music, I will say I'm very picky nowadays about what I grab. I can justify downloading an album to give it a try, and then if I like it I go buy it and if I don't I delete it. Not really that different from using (free) Rhapsody to sample whole albums prior to purchase / not purchase, ya know?

*cries* Well, I not so happily BT off a 30 gig 1500kbps connection. Using Vuze, and WebUI occasionally to monitor. Speed Scheduler to limit upload speeds during waking hours.

I use Transmission. But it's ok, cuz I have this connection:


I can usually get about 1.4m down if i have enough seeds

I noticed they said 12GB of hosted space on the site you provided.

Does this mean that you can't download from torrents?

I've heard a lot of stories in which people have gotten notices and warnings from their internet providers for downloading illegally (torrents, etc.)

Have you heard anything about that?
