Where does one find good torrents?

[ChadTower]

Keep in mind that the BEST torrent sites are all closed membership and tracker based, meaning you're not going to find them with google and you're not going to be able to just jump on and leech.

Try www.isohunt.com

It's got popups and trash, but it searches a bunch of torrent sites and displays the results.

ISO HUNT! is by far the BEST!

I've been looking for Radiant Silvergun the last few days... maybe isohunt will have it.

i wonder if bittorrent's gonna be the next target of all the p2p program haters like the riaa, etc?  seems like it's gaining in popularity.

emule seems to somehow stay off the radar all this time. 

BitTorrent SITES have already come under fire from the RIAA/MPAA/etc.  So far, the technology itself has not been attacked, mostly because it is just a platform for distribution.  That argument was also used for Kazaa/Morpheus/etc, but the difference with BitTorrent is there actually seems to be a good amount of legitimate venues using it.  Content is distributed, software, linux, video, etc etc... all perfectly legal to download.

The problem comes in when someone makes FreeStolenGameTorrents.com or something like that where the sole intention is to distribute stolen goods.  But even then.. so far, the authorities have only gone after the owners of the site who are distributing the illegal torrent files.... not the BitTorrent program itself (at least not as much as the site).

Saw this linked on Slashdot today, looks like the MPAA is starting their crackdown.

They are still only going after SITES though... BitTorrent itself isn't in any danger (currently), so we'll just have to migrate to the 10 other sites that pop up once one shuts down.

The MPAA does that once in a while... they come in with guns blazing, rape the horses and ride off on the women, and then everyone comes back out to play.
