What is a torrent?

[michwayne]

is that what magnetmix.com is.

[wondering why]

No, not exactly...
I will send you a pm...

[michwayne]

so thepiratebay.org is basically the do the same as limewire?

[wondering why]

Yep, you can search for what you want, check the feedback, amount of seeders and leaches and download using limewire or another torrent program...

[michwayne]

ok wouldn't you get the same type of results as limewire or is there a difference sorry im really uninformed about this stuff.

[wondering why]

Most movies start out as torrents and then they can get shared through limewire...
I download movie torrents and then share the file through limewire once it's unziped/unrared (sorry I cant find my words tonight )...

[michwayne]

I think i get the idea but can't you just stop sharing incomplete files and not worry about using a torrent or do you get a better variety using torrents.

[wondering why]

You can get a better variety with torrents, give one ago, try a torrent with 1 or 2 files within and see what you think...
