torrent and file sharing sites

Does anyone know of torrent or file sharing sites that have general tv stuff etc.

I am already sorted with music and porn sites, but want things such as UK comedy shows, maybe some films.

Yes Mininova.org is tops. They pick up a lot from EZTV - TV torrents online

I find just putting "XXXXX torrent" into goolge is starting to work well. I found Hustle through torrents. Great show!

BTW, recommend newsgroups over torrents. MUCH faster. but it is a hole other thing to learn.

Not free.

Get an account with Newsgroups: Giganews USENET News Servers and then buy their version of Newbin. Pick up a copy of QuickPar and WinRAR. Do some googleing.

You'll basically double the amount you can download. Always maxes your connection at full speed. Your downloading directly off servers so you don't have to worry about seed levels or ratios. Just start leeching.

Go for the encrypted version so they can't packet sniff you. Use the European server.

Instead of torrents, you look for NZBs. so go to binsearch.com Newzleech.com - Usenet Search or http://www.nzbsrus.com/

That's the nutshell version.

Tip of the hat to BM ChokDee who gave me the tip a year ago.

never heard of newsgroups till now looks interesting tho....

i use Demonoid.com for the latest films n such...

but for porn n music and the likes i use AresUltra

but there's always LimeWire: The Official Site for the Fastest File Sharing Program on the Planet but its dodgy enough using that u might get a virus or something,still good for southpark n simpsons episodes tho...

I personally don't go anywhere near old-school peer-to-peer stuff. Especially wouldn't pay for it.

Torrents and Newsgroups should cover all your needs, is safer, and a lot faster IMO.

Newsgroups is actually internet oldschool. Originally this forum would have existed as a newsgroup. Now newsgroups are used for distributing binary files, even though it was designed for text. So basically all the binarry stuff is translated into a whole bunch of text files. But the NZBs and applications I mentioned take care of the nasty stuff for you, so you don't have to worry about it. Upside is it is a huge repository.

Slyck gives a good overview: Slyck's Guide to The Newsgroups - Intro

Most torrent search sites are well self-regulated, so risk of a virus is very low. Especially if you d/l a file thats already been hit by 1000's of others.

Peer Guardian 2 - I have used that as a way of keeping bad IPs from snopping on me. Unsure whether PG2 actually does much.

Newsgroup is old skool, I used back in 1994 to get adult pictures but havent used it much since then. Also used to read some forums there long time ago.

Get peerguardian - Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 - it helps to prevent the weasles from closing in, or you can use the forementioned newsgroup method.

Also, "Grabit" - Shemes.com :: Home - is a very easy to use newsreader.

I have heard some of the best torrent sites require registration, however I have also heard that the pirate bay and iso hunt are great sites and in most cases deliver a very good downloading speed in some cases upto 600-700 KB/s
