I have been very successful in using utorrent to download some interesting pieces of software.
Hopefully I will get somemore .

There is a downsize though. After a large download, it seems to appear that my access has been delimited by my ISP to a slowdown of speed.This only lasts for about a day.

I tend to stay away from the porn stuff as sometimes nasty stuff hides in there,almost like browsing around newsgroups or IRC chat groups of warez,etc.
